"Capitalism is not something imposed on us by some outside force. It only exists because every day we wake up and continue to produce it. If we woke up one morning and all collectively decided to produce something else, then we wouldn’t have capitalism anymore. This is the ultimate revolutionary question: what are the conditions that would have to exist to enable us to do this—to just wake up and imagine and produce something else?”

— from David Graeber’s “Utopia of Rules”

@selzero They have a choice of exotic foreign destinations. Just so long as you don;t mind orange overalls.

What is this - spammy sign up Saturday?

And why are all the spam sign ups on mastodon fucking social?

I'm close to blocking that instance which is a shame because some people I interact with are on it.

@KateOfMind I was on it but some busybody decided to hide my toot and that was that. I think a lot of people get used to just being in one place but its worth it to find another instance with policies and people you can trust. I'm very happy with Syzito and @selzero is an excellent admin.

@JustinMac84 @selzero Technically, no one does. But life, which is the bit before that, is probably about how you tackle the journey as much as it is having to take it.

Was just out for a walk. Spontaneously gave Nazi salutes to four passing Teslas and was unfortunate enough to be stopped and questioned by two similarly passing officers of the law. They asked what I was doing and I said "nazi-saluting Teslas". After some questioning, during which it was clear I had broken no law, they told me to be on my way and said that if they saw me doing it again I'd be arrested as a public nuisance.

Yeah right.

And the attention/acceptance. Fry has a strong "establishment-friendly" streak running through him. So he wants to feel accepted by the rich and powerful. All those twunts telling him he's a genius must really flatter his ego. Narcissistic prick.

@fkamiah17 I hope people understand how and why the bare boobs are an important part of the protest. Dot social once deleted a post of mine in which I posted a naked photo of protest because they said it broke their "no nudity" rules. I am glad to see @selzero appears not to take such a stance.

@selzero Its not easy but its simple. As I think every time I see people who spend their entire lives in places like this. Posting.

Thats neither happiness nor life when you're just a 24/7 reaction machine.

And with that I shall go and carry on writing my book.

@selzero The 2nd Amendment states Americans have the right to "bear" arms. It doesn't state they have the right to treat schools are live firing exercises.

As a non-American, I ask my fellow non-Americans:

WHY WOULD YOU EVER GO TO AMERICA UNDER THE TRUMP REGIME?

Your non-Americanness will count against you for a start. The authorities would feel justified doing anything to you should you run into them.

#ScribesAndMakers What are your goals for the month?

To still be alive at the end of it. Now all tales, even breathing ones, come to an end but hopefully not before they've run their course.

@selzero How did that work out for him?

@selzero My guts have become too old for biscuit tins. That photo is gastrointestinal misery waiting to happen.

@aral And then the USA simply uses its presence to divide the countries of the EU by offering deals to buy them off.

The problem was ever allowing them in the first place. Now they are virtually impossible to get rid of, especially with a hostile US President. Every single country would have to act in unison and in a coordinated way.

Europe for 80 years has been fooled into being US dependent. There will be a price.

Do you know of any women who write intensely transgressive erotic work? Please advise so I may check it out for a project. I can find plenty by men.

12 Feb: What percentage of your first draft ends up in the trash?

Probably not even 1%. I adhere to the practice that what's done is done. So get it right first time! This involves knowing exactly where you want to go and what you want to say. Or, alternatively, being happy for it to go where it goes.

Yesterday I was writing about biodiversity and its place (and importance) at the heart of any biological ecosystem.

Today I read that "biodiversity" is one of the words American institutions are busily scrubbing from their documentation and data bases as it is apparently regarded as a politically troublesome word.

If you want to survive these idiots I suggest you actively get off your ass because these people are certainly stupid enough to kill us all.
