“Hard times are coming, when we’ll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope. We’ll need writers who can remember freedom – poets, visionaries – realists of a larger reality.

Right now, we need writers who know the difference between production of a market commodity and the practice of an art.”

“We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable – but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art. Very often in our art, the art of words.”

Not reblogging that

I looked through your blog and saw you being a hypocritical cunt like the rest of ’em. I don’t give a fuck how funny you are on the surface, you don’t deserve the publicity.

Who is Andrea Kachman?

Sorry Andrea Karshan

[the-obsolete-man]

This creator Andrea Karshan on TikTok booted me from her live stream bc she she didn’t like how I pronounced Chabad. She completely gaslit me when I know I pronounced it correctly. She then claimed I wasn’t even Jewish. She seems to have some screws loose and never treats anyone with respect. She shouldn’t have a platform at all.

This is done on purpose because deplatforming works

[unknownentry404]

Random take but, instead of “cancel,” can we bring back the term:

Deplatform?

As in, stop giving credence to? Reducing the voice and reach of? Taking them off of their pedestal?

Disproving and debunking harmful rhetorics and moving on?

One thing, we all kind of forget after being terminally online so much, is that there is no longterm solution for people who are harmful bigots. Like. We’re not going to kill them?? I mean, especially in left leaning circles, we’re all very anti-prison and anti-death penalty anyway, right?

The best thing we can do is disprove, deplatform and try to educate. But just ignore and allow to them to fade into obscurity, when that doesn’t pan out.

Also, something I think “deplatform” takes account for, that “cancel” doesn’t is: redemption and growth are good things? And you can’t Deplatform someone who ISNT actively saying or doing bad things CURRENTLY.

Everyone makes mistakes, the important thing is to own up to them and learn from them. If the person doesn’t? Deplatform them. But if they do?? Let bygones be bygones?

Idk, life is just exhausting. I don’t have the energy to either deal with bigoted assholes anymore, or shame people who made mistakes they’re actively sorry for and have learned from. I got better things to using my spoons on.

PayPal says policy to punish users for misinformation was ‘in error’

Despite the retraction, the crypto community said the policy is a perfect example of why decentralization and self-custody of funds are so important.
