"When you listen to #music on your streaming service, do you remember that there was a time before CDs or records, a time when recorded #audio didn't exist, a time when the only way to hear a song was from the vocal chords of a human person in your presence or the vibration of instruments being played? A time when it was much more common for most people to sing in the presence of others because music was a communal experience, something to be done with family and friends and strangers, and not a solitary one wherein we put on our headphones and isolate ourselves from each other? A time in which songs were not polished for the sake of #capitalist profit, but were shared for the sake of human interaction and for the tandem vibration of our beings, so that we might vibrate in harmony with those around us?"

"We allow our oppressors to filter our words to others and to filter the words that reach us. I think about how in the Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson (spoiler), even a person's thoughts could be exposed to the oppressor, and the utterance of speech and the written word could be obfuscated or changed so that a person could not receive the message unless it was written on steel, where it couldn't be seen or changed by the oppressor.
I think about the words we share through our phones, and through these filters. I think then about human contact and connection, and I think about paper #zines in #radical bookstores."

But I'm also saying that there is an escape, and this escape is not going to present itself for us. We have to find it, we have to create it, and we have to create it together."

We don't build worlds of beauty by destroying what is ugly. We build worlds of beauty by *building*.

These are just excerpts, you can find the rest on my website for free (link at the top of the thread), and a bunch of it can be found on the #anarchist library when relevant-- this one will probably appear there tomorrow. I write a bunch of #antifascist shit like this. I would love if you would subscribe for free via email or RSS. I like when people read my work. I seek validation in others, so you can feed my anxious attachment style this way and it will give me inspiration to keep writing. Kisses, y'all. Fuck ICE. Fuck the #fascists. Fuck all of this bullshit we're forced to go through instead of having the time and space to just love each other. Here's my website:

@revoluciana
I think about that very often. I sing, hum, and whistle much of the time, even in public. And then I remember that that's considered weird these days. -

And then I remember that that's considered weird these days.@Quasit Wild, right? thousands of years of the sharing of music with the people around us, and now? It's considered rude in most instances, and strange in the least.

Do you get to see stats when someone subscribes via RSS?

So, to answer your question, nope, no stats when people subscribe via RSS, but that's also one of the perks for RSS subscribers and another reason why I strongly believe in having RSS as an option (even if it doesn't feed my need for validation lol). I don't really think it's possible to do any meaningful tracking via RSS because of the nature of the pull vs push, but I could be wrong.

"Efficiency. Fascists love efficiency. What is so grand about being efficient when what you are efficient at is creating harm and destruction? A blaze is efficient at destroying the forest."
(excerpt) #antifa
@revoluciana fascists love a narrative of being efficient, while also not actually being very efficient. cause of course a highly hierarchal system where people get promoted based on nepotism, sycophancy and political plays and where constructive criticism of a superior let alone how things are organized more generally is a bad career move cannot actually be efficient. if it's efficient at anything it's breeding inefficiency and institutional dysfunction.
