An AWS outage taking out half the Internet really crystallizes the need for a free, open, and decentralized net

Land of the oppressed and home of the censored

The combined, de-humanizing effects of capitalism and consumerism deprive us of any meaningful connections. They render us unable to develop consciously, socially, or ecologically.

All the cool kids are going floppy

Happy Labor Day

Oh just a guy on a horse, gets me every time #Monsterdon

Monster cam hell yeah #Monsterdon

see the bear represents our subconscious fear of nature and the unknown, therefore it also symbolized our unconscious anxiety around our own mortality. in this essay i will #Monsterdon

oh so this doctor is also a detective now huh #Monsterdon

I've seen Annihilation and they are not prepared for this bear #Monsterdon

sorry but did he say he's been living with the deer, i have a couple follow up questions #Monsterdon

As much as I enjoy the surrealist turn of modern horror I appreciate the straightforwardness of the earlier genre. There's a monster, and it wants to kill some shit. That's all you need to know #Monsterdon

All my ecologist friends know that bears have patterns #Monsterdon

Pleistocene reference! #Monsterdon

The bear is either a metaphor for misogyny or a fetishization of it send tweet #Monsterdon

The monster's pov characterizes a nature that is active, which has its own agency outside of the human as subject and mind [see footnote] #Monsterdon

A good rule of thumb in the horror genre is that if someone says they'll do something in a definitive way, that person is about to die #Monsterdon

If that bear was alive now it'd be full of PFAS #Monsterdon

"the story's about greed" noted thank you sir #Monsterdon

Doing a bit of reading prep before #Monsterdon tonight
