this mcbride/mace thing is a fucking mess. mcbride is a genocide apologist so like, fuck that, and she immediately acquiesced, which sucks, but also her party left her to rot, so fuck them, because what they do to her they are dreaming of doing to all of us. to the settler, all trailblazers are human sacrifices.

GOOD MORNING FEDIVERSE! death to america and the zionist entity! the revolution lives in the love we show each other, that we have found ways to show each other in ways big and small for thousands of years. reject despair. choose militant compassion and draw hope from the struggle itself!

a colleague tried to demo github copilot to me and it was just wrong. over and over and over. i'm so glad the machine that lies is so effective at wasting your time that you wanted to share that with me

fuck it. settlers call it a nation, but it is its cult-driven absence. settlers call it a civilization, but its hallmarks are war and famine. settlers call it a government but under its auspices, the people starve. settler language is not capable, not serious; full of inversions that hide and tidy universes of violence. this is not a nation. this is not a government. this is not a civilization. it is the pageantry of a killing machine.

"diana you can't just point at everything western and say 'settler barbarism'"

*points at colonialism and its resulting conditions* settler barbarism

i don’t know how to tell you that a government of rapists, slavers, and genocidaires was never going to save you in any way shape or form and there is a type of despair that comes from having been so politically illiterate that you believed their propaganda and then got upset when they reminded you they had been rapists, slavers, and genocidaires the whole fucking time. ARM UP AND REGROW

i'm preparing to publish some new essays soon so here's a thread of some essays from the past few years that i'm kinda proud of

# Revolution and the World of the Heart

> I want to tell you about my revolution. I want to tell you because, for me, it has already happened.

# Chloe Sagal did not need to die.

> We are pawns and tokens in their sick power trips. Even the people who take it up to argue with the fascists won't change shit. They won't tear down the machines that killed her. They'll waste breath in comment threads and then complain about discourse, and the fascists will be all the happier for it.

# Regarding why software is so bad

> Only together can we seize the craft from the industry. Only together can we demand and develop the high ethical standards that public infrastructure requires. We are not scabs or mercenaries. We are craftspeople, and we will do our craft justice.

i’m the ghost of luddite futures (smashing machines to foil who would use them against people)

the ahistorical quality of the meaning of the word “luddite” never fails to astound me. anticapitalist radicals committing industrial sabotage were 1) shot in the streets 2) magically revised as RETVRN types because nobody reads books and capitalism likes it that way

i want an internet that emerges from social relations and centers your position and perspective (and autonomy and privacy) and then i want to use it to share pig poop balls dubstep remix dot wav

i want the google that just peruses my friends’ public bookmarks. i want my friends to make public bookmarks out of the most fucked-up content they can find

look, the content of the web’s [counts on fingers] six websites absolutely sucks. i don’t want to read five echoes down from cnn propaganda. i want to read your fucked up blog post about the ethics of lithium and/or how cool ants are

once again repeating that conflating judaism writ large with the state of israel is settler propaganda. this genocidal theocracy will not keep you safe by waging wars of extermination

it feels so incredibly disgusting to have genocidal apologists accuse me of “wanting jews dead” because i take issue with A FUCKING GENOCIDE. judaism is a proud and beautiful tradition and it is not equivalent to a nation-state committing ethnic cleansing

the atrocities occurring under the guise of self-defense are abominable, unconscionable, and render ethically untenable the existence of the state of israel. a nation capable and eager to commit such massive evils forfeits its continuity.

death to america and the zionist entity! the twin titans of capital and colony can be toppled and buried; an eon of compassion will rise from their gravesoil

it’s mom humor to name wild animals things like “birdson” and “the mayor”
