See people on my timeline being like oh I can just use wood for heating! #solarpunk !
and i'm like, yeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh, sort of.....

but also, you know that one of the core reasons that the industrial rev was kicked off by mass coal extraction is that it meant peasants could heat their homes with minimal effort and not have to spend like most of their time gathering wood and feeding fires... Right? You know wood is really expensive, takes up a lot of storage, has to be the right kind (dry, seasoned, hard vs soft, specific kinds of tree) and requires you babysit the fire... Right?

and bonus round, when you buy "ready to burn wood" that's been seasoned in a kiln... What do you think powered that kiln?

I did wood (and "heat logs") only the first year on my boat. You will end up burning coal like everyone else. It is cheap, it requires no babysitting, it is hotter, it burns longer, it is energy dense so requires minimal storage space.

like, obviously fuck coal

but until we live in a postcapitalist society where "wood gatherer" and "fire tender" are respected communal tasks and everyone doesn't have to waste all their time on bs jobs?

offgrid means fossil unless you're a millionaire (at which point u can afford someone else to use fossil fuels to make and transport "sustainable" fuels to you), sorry

When the #pandemic started, the #anarchist slogan I saw in a lot of big publications and orgs was "one day we will all wear masks", acknowledging that between the surveillance state and viruses the world would necessitate frequent masking to resist fascism... What the fuck happened? maybe they meant "for one day, we will all wear masks. But once it's no longer convenient we won't again."?
What will it fucking TAKE for people to get this (i know the answer is violence)
disabled people cannot do all your research for you, disabled people cannot keep having the same conversation with you every time a month passes without you hearing a scary story (during a fucking PRESS BLACKOUT ON COVID NEWS) so you assume it's over for the 100th time
i am done with the timeloop of saying #CovidIsNotOver to people who respond "oh I thought it was over", wait a month then stop masking again. There's nothing new to say! Why did you decide it's over THIS time? Because the government said?? Because other nondisabled people are acting like it is??? Is this what anarchism is to you???? READ! FUCKING READ!! I CANNOT KEEP DOING IT FOR YOU!!! Just assume it's not over until cripples who are doing the research says it is! Covid will not just fucking disappear! There will be dancing in the streets if/when we get a real vaccine! The revolution will be televised! You don't need to worry you missed the news it's over! No news is not good news it's a PRESS BLACKOUT! CHRIST!

Libs are so funny they get so caught up in like, how we should regulate [extremely acute symptom of a globally apocalyptic phenomena] and then get mad at you for not spending all your energy on it.

yknow, like electoralism.

babes it is long past the time to #MakeTotalDestroy

You don't need to regulate ai artist copyright theft if you just destroy every datacenter yknow

The government is the disease babs, it will never address its own symptoms. You've just lived through a really long boom period where it was politically expedient for them to pander to you sometimes with "rights" and "business unions" and "socialism" and "green policies". Now they are slurping the bottom of the colonial milkshake and they are going to eat you next.

no uk or us government will ever save you from climate collapse, the only reason to talk about the govt is to demostrate to liberals that they are wasting their time

Ive not seen anyone here mention that sarah jane baker was arrested for incitement to violence for saying if you see a terf punch them in the fucking face at #TransPrideLondon during the open mic section of speeches
apparently someone filmed it (classic) and now shes being sent back to (most likely men's) prison without trial. See tpl's insta for more details.
there was a protest at her hearing the other day and there will prob be more, keep an eye out and pls boost to get the word out.
ofc tpl gave some chickenshit lib response about how they dont condone violence but dont want her jailed, sigh
