 I'm starting a new job soon! 🥰 
 
 It'll be fun to meet new faces. 😎 
 
 I have to move out of state though, 🥴 
 
 which is a lot of extra work. 🙃 
 
 but hey! I'll see new faces! 😎 
 
 and maybe see some new parks 🤩 
 
 downside is that I'm moving 🥺 
 
 on the same day as the nearest Pride Parade 😒 
 
 whyyyyy didn't they let me start just a few days later 🤷‍♀️ 
 
 ah, well, it's not like there's many prides in July 😒

 black, the color of the night sky
 red, the color of the fading light
 blue, the color of the morning
 
 fireworks should be every color. whatever looks best. the point is to
 celebrate, right? have fun with it! go nuts! it's a party, after all : )

 they're saying that laws cannot stop them.                                       │
 but we will stop them, so how are you in particular going to help?               │
 if you aren't sure, try taking a sheet of notebook paper and writing down some   │
 ideas.                                                                           │
 start with things that are nearby, like helping your neighbors or pulling cats   │
 from trees, and then scratch them out.                                           │
 then write about things that are important for our institutions and structures   │
 like voting or attending city council meetings, and strike them out too. they    │
 just said laws cannot stop them, remember?                                       │
 next thing about things like throwing bricks at cops, and yeah that's helpful    │
 if the cops are currently doing something to deserve having bricks thrown at     │
 them                                                                             │
 but you should probably scratch that out too, because you're hitting your foe    │
 in their strongpoint.                                                            │
 where are our foes weak?                                                         │
 under the armpit is a great place to hit with a knife, because it's difficult    │
 to armor that part of your body without significantly reducing mobility.         │
 how can we best strike the nobility?                                             │

 users don't want to have to think about encryption keys.
 
 they should be available for them if they need them, in like... a folder or
 something somewhere, but they don't need to really know that they exist.
 
 more friction like that keeps people away from being secure.

 "fortune favors the bold" is actually a real mechanism in game theory.           │
 if you act first, if you have the initiative, you can determine the nature and   │
 scope of the contest with your foe.                                              │
 in turn-based games of course it's more explicit, as each action begets a        │
 reaction, but in real-time games (where time flows as it does in reality) the    │
 mechanism is just as apparent.                                                   │
 if you focus attention in one area, you can strike where they're weak. like      │
 Alexander keeping his foes busy with a massive frontline of solid, defensible    │
 troops while his companion cavalry would ride around the side and hit their      │
 flanks and rear.                                                                 │
 game theory is just strategy viewed from the other end, and it matters what we   │
 think because what we think defines what we do.                                  │
 ... also, fear is the great paralyzer. fear is a call to action, fear is your    │
 soul speaking straight to you.                                                   │
 but fear is just nerves, it's just excitement before the leap - you have faith   │
 in this bungee/ this parachute/ the water where you'll be safe, right? My faith  │
 is in y                                                                          │

 If you're packing for a long car ride, it's a good idea to put the things
 you'll need first near the top of the bag, and the things you'll need at your
 destination at the bottom.
 
 if you don't know where you're going, well then just try and pack more of the
 essentials.
 
 for example sandwiches go at the top, because you're going to be eating them en
 route.
 
 however clean underwear should probably be near the bottom.

 also, if you have a lot of a particular item (like, boxes of nutritious granola
 bars with lots of nuts, maybe some chocolate, peanut butter, and dried fruit)
 then you can place them such that the last box is on the bottom, while the
 first box is reachable from the top.
 
 that way, as you eat them, you can slowly reach the bottom.

 if you don't know how long you're going to be gone, how do you know what to
 bring? like, is it a "grab the hard drives" kind of trip, or is it more like
 "we'll return in the spring"?
 
 who can say, depends on who's driving.

 The supreme court is the institution which protects our most sacred of
 documents. It is a court most supreme, but their word is not law - they protect
 and adapt the law to fit our new societal conclusions.
 
 The constitution is law, and they broke it at the behest of a tyrant king we
 shouldn't need to vanquish.
 
 They broke the law. They are criminals.

 The constitution is a document which bears our most precious of human rights.    │
 It has been amended many times, to include additional protections and            │
 guidelines for the standards we owe to each other.                               │
 The one standard that stands above all is that your rights end where another's   │
 begin. This law is universal, it Trumps all else.                                │
 When rights are deprived, liberty dies. Liberty, the freedom to be, to do as     │
 you will and exist in our society. Liberty, that most sacred of trees, the       │
 branches that shade us and the roots that [support us, but pronounced like       │
 chain, shame, profane, contain, something like that]                             │
 One standard that exists alongside many others is the right to be as you are in  │
 public society. Public is defined as something we share, and to deny the right   │
 to be for any other is to deny them liberty.                                     │
 In cities, the streets are public. In rural areas, the commercial spaces         │

 The judges prevent the politicians from harming the people who elect the
 politicians who select the judges. Sounds like it should work well, no?
 
 well... the people are divided, but the politicians it seem are hardly so. So,
 the politicians elect their judges, who allow the passage of such laws which
 contradict the will of the people.
 
 The keys to power should rest in the hands of those who deserve it, not those

 It's worked well enough for several hundred years, but now that it's crumbling
 I think we can see that the foundation was cracked. The founding fathers owned
 slaves! Everyone did! And yeah, we've updated our views a bit, but... did we
 really?
 
 I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader.
 
 A shaky foundation's no good. The entire structure needs to be torn down and
 built up again, deciding with intention which pieces we should bear forth from
 the past, and which were just not made to last.
 
 From those pieces, we might forge new documented standard understandings,
 regulations which define our societal proceedings. A contract, between a
 consenting person and the state's protected institutions.
 
 But that's for tomorrow, or the next day, or perhaps another day still. Today
 we are busy, as revolutions are quite a big thrill.

 perhaps they learned from our mistakes, or they were guided by better sense
 during their founding.
 
 I wonder, with our title of Commander in Chief, do those governments you
 mentioned also invest supreme military direction into their head of state? I
 don't see how it could be any other way, as the military must be tied to the
 will of the people.

 Laws should be required to be marked [short term] or [long term]
 
 Short term means it should be redesigned after its effects become apparent.
 
 Long term means that if there's sufficient demand, an alternative should be
 created.

 the [mood/vibe/aura/whatever-you-want-to-call-it] in my suburb is frankly kinda
 confident. I saw people talking in front of Safeway, and there was many more
 people than usual about on a Tuesday at noon.
 
 When I visited the city yesterday, as I might do today or tomorrow, it was
 quite a different feeling. The poor dears are traumatized, I think! Well, have

 A good way to get people talking is to meet with a stranger and share your
 feelings.
 
 Or, if you're scared of strangers, then try talking with a friend.
 
 "something something SUPREME COURT something whatever CRIMINALIZED PEOPLE blah
 blah blah I WON'T STAND FOR IT"
 
 that kind of thing. Make sure you look at your friend for the loud bits, and
 maybe look at someone else nearby when it's your friend's turn to speak.

 There's a lot that can get done in a work week. That's like, five whole days!
 What kinds of things can you get done at work in a week?

 But like... what are you doing then while at work, NOT working? Oh, it's just
 bullshit work you're doing? [nuts, cursing mentioned, one sec]
 
 So, like, if you aren't doing stuff... Maybe that means you're kept from your

 But, uh... If you had five days to live, what would you do? It's not like you
 can see the world, but hey I've already done that. It's not like you can save
 it either, that's not something you build - rather, it's more like a garden.

 I'd be a terrible spy. Not only is my opsec something that someone needs to
 teach me, I'm much too busy to implement things without their help. I am
 unabashedly compassionate though, so just ask and I'll pour love from my heart.
 
 But hey! There's always time to practice, each moment you can think "what kind
 of a sign is this?"
 
 Like a crazy person following the will of god, or a nature witch listening to
 the wind in the trees.
 
 What they often get wrong, and what they could be better at hearing, is that
 signals are not signs unless they're out of the ordinary.
 
 Trick is, if you're a spy, then you need to leave signals that are visible
 enough to your quarry, but not to the stars.

 At BLM in Philadelphia, we allowed the police to surround us. We had a massive
 train of people, and most of us were new at anything that didn't involve
 holding signs and chanting.
 
 I was near the front, and as our fellows moved ahead and started
 spray-painting, I looked at those around me who were beginning to realize it
 wasn't a protest.
 
 A few hundred heads ahead was the front of the line, and we turned when
 directed - toward the north, away from the commercial district, toward the
 bridge that would take us to the universities. Well, Temple at least. Not the
 old historic kind.
 
 They stopped us at the bridge, and told us we couldn't go ahead. I sidled my
 way to the front after a few minutes of standing around, and I saw a cop almost
 reach for his gun. With shaking hands he steadied himself, but frankly it was
 hardly his fault - the people in front of him were feinting a punch.
 
 But that didn't matter, his instincts won out. Then someone lit a car on fire,
 and the organizers moved us on out.

 I think every law or policy should be required to be labelled as "short term"
 or "long term"
 
 the short term ones are meant to gather information, to try things out, and to
 reassess after stated conditions have been met. Ideally with protections
 against "infinite loops" - a term that any programmer will know.
 
 The long term legislation is something that can be relied on for quite a while.
 If there is enough momentum, then an alternative can be created, but the
 original must remain operational. The alternative must be "short term", and if
 it's deemed successful and does not harm the long-term it's contrasting, then
 sure yeah go ahead implement both.

 Vegetables are delicious! There's lots of nutrients. However vegetables, while
 can be eaten raw, are much more useful for your body molecularly if you cook
 them first. I think it breaks down the cellular walls so that your body can
 digest the juicy tasty nutrients locked within.
 
 Vegetables also don't have calories, that you get from things with vitality.
 You are what you eat, and sometimes if you need it you might want to try meat.
 Me? I'm a vegetarian, that's why I'm so skinny! Carnivores have it so easy, I
 have to eat about 2x as much rice-and-beans by weight.
 
 At least I'm not vegan - I can supplement with fats like butter and cooking
 oil, which are useful when combined with nutrients, as they allow your body to
 store them for later. Just make sure you eat enough calories which are energy
 for your body, otherwise it won't have the chemical energy to store said
 nutrients in your latent fat cells. Like, building up a pantry, or a squirrel
 saving nuts for winter.

 I imagine things will look different in Europe than America. That's just how it
 goes, y'know? Better to contrast in a familiar way than to find yourself
 conforming to some pattern or mould that you didn't plan for.

 right?? they get me haha... I also say defence and theatre hehe]

 everywhere on earth is different, which is why it's so hard to follow each
 place's goings-on! But I don't mind being corrected, like if someone came and
 told me "hey don't spell it like "theatre" that's actually only for stage
 plays, if you're seeing a movie it's a "theater"" then I'd be like "oh yeah duh
 that makes sense, because one was invented in america" and they'd be like "what
 no, well, actually maybe"
 
 or like "hey don't say the things that you're saying" to which I'd say "yeah
 sure can-do" but, well, nobody told me no, so here we go :)
 
 I'm both exhausted and sleepy! I bet I can fix that with some sleep. Hope my
 thoughts don't keep me up again, though for the sake of keeping my timeline
 interesting perhaps I wouldn't mind. 🥰

 laws should have three layers of abstraction.
 
 a simple version, that you can understand and talk about on the couch.
 
 a well defined version, that explains exactly in detail how this law will be
 achieved,
 
 and a precise version, which will basically be programming in legalese.
 
 with these three layers of abstraction, all representing the same whole, it
 should be easier to contribute to a democracy.

 when riding a roller coaster, as the train crests the first hill, the first
 cars near the front will peak over the edge, ready for the coming thrill.
 
 at the back, it feels like you're climbing, 'till suddenly you're not, and it
 whips you around flying! Straight over the curve, the world is flashing right
 past you, and down around around you'll go faster.
 
 My mom always said the back is more fun because of how fast you go. I tend to
 believe her, but there's something special about the front as well - especially
 the very front! That part is neat because you can see all the scenery
 completely.
 
 But only one car's in front, so it's quite a coveted position. Lucky for us,
 the line's not too long! Good thing they built enough rides to carry us all
 along.
 
 what's that you say, there's capitalism at play? and they only had room for
 those who could pay on this day? how rude!
 
 well, maybe they'll build more tomorrow.

 "Come, join our side. Lay down your arms, and teach us to use them. We've got
 nazi's to fight."
 
 Find common ground. Use it to gain power. Do not trust your new allies
 completely until proven, but do not treat them with harm.
 
 Do not trust them, at least not at first. After all, there's nazi's amongst
 them. But there's also good people who would die for you.
 
 Let them select from amongst their number those who they would like us to
 judge. We will be harsh to their vipers and kind to their protectors.
 
 Some people do police work in order to get by. Some do it to help others in a
 vague unspecified way that only a preschooler filling out a "what I want to be
 when I grow up" assignment can internalize. Some want to protect things, to
 keep them running smooth
 
 and some want to hurt things.
 
 Give them the chance to find them. They are not your friends. They are not
 their friends. They are those who we fight.
 
 We must secure a cleansing blow against the right.

we must secure a cleansing blow  diagram of battle-lines between two forces. One side has their best and brightest in front, because they care about people. The other hides behind their fellows like the cowards they are.  we win when the fascists are dead.  there aren't very many.  we lose when they drag it out.  then a diagram showing how to intercept the cowards as they flee. They cannot flee straight back or they'll cause a mass retreat. They go to the side, like swimming out of a riptide.  Covering fire without rhythm, to preserve ammo.  Hicks are easier to outmaneuver. They only look to what's ahead. Watch your flanks.  Time is cheap if you're learning how to fight. At least, until it's not, but then you're next in line so fight for the light.  if you can, get your foes to surrender. A lost life is a tragedy for all, but fascists are hardly living so they don't count. A life of hate is not a life, but a kind of un-life - it is antithetical to us. Anathema. Empathy is their bane, and we will win forever at the end of this.

 water, unless it's tea there's a good chance that some broth-in-a-jar could
 make it taste better.
 
 Did you know you can boil oats like noodles? Yeah that's... that's basically
 how you make oatmeal. Use less water than with noodles, though.
 
 EDIT: Also, add some bits of nutrition like dried fruit, nuts that have been
 soaking in clean water overnight, nutritional yeast, dehydrated soup mix
 (delicious), or frozen vegetables.
