[F-slur]s and their Friends Between Revolutions by the late Larry Mitchell is a fable written mostly in small poems about a society that marginalizes queer people as they build and rebuild their community. It was written in pre-HIV era New York, but is timeless in its chaotic radical fairy tone. It discusses some social and sexual practices rather explicitly, so if you don’t think it’s for you, it might not be.

That’s the kind of optimism I’m looking for. /lh

Honestly, I use Reddit more now that I’m also on the threadiverse. There’s active local content and more Reddits and posts tied to the genres of books I read. Yes, I should be the change I want to see, but there’s only so much of that I can do.

I guess my plan to run my car into the ground should be updated to keep my car going until I leave this mortal coil. /hj

Everytime the issue of surveillance comes up on my local news stations has some official from the police or Flock. If they interview someone with concerns, it’s never someone from EFF or a privacy advocate, but a random person on the street who has concerns but thinks the cameras have been integral to solving crimes.

Voters and consumers everywhere have such short attention spans.

That’s terrible. The donkey would be so traumatized. Won’t somebody please think of the donkeys?!? /lh

I love this world where we can be arrested and jailed and have our lives ruined because cops can’t be arsed to verify whether somebody was anywhere else at the time because a machine said ”It’s him…I guess.”
