 If I were a millionaire, I'd always be a millionaire, and so would my children.
 I would save it, I would cherish it, and I would safeguard my children and
 immediate family as best as money can do.
 
 If I were a billionaire, I'd be a millionaire.

 last month I found a desk fan by the dumpster that seemed to be in pretty good
 condition. So I brought it inside and took it apart. I couldn't get it working
 though, so it sat on my floor for 3ish weeks in many pieces. One day I decided
 to turn it on and it worked for some reason?? and tonight I just got it all
 re-assembled and working. It works! I'm so glad.

 how cherished is she
 that wanders with the
 flowers in the garden of eden
 
 under a big tree
 her heart she will leave
 with all her designs she abandoned
 
 I lay beside them and wander beside her
 will she know we miss her horizons
 
 I think she will mind,
 if I have resigned,
 my fate to a life I will hide in,
 
 oh how I do long for you.
 
 her symbol is the name that lets us belong here,
 a falling, a light, and a leaving,
 
 if only our words were listened.
 but power is penance, 
 and repentance is all that I have chosen.
 
 here in our sanctum we live with our only
 and time will be gracious towards us
 
 it's only our words that keep us
 confined to our lights and our lonely
 
 yet there and beyond, her lights do belong,
 beyold in the land that is sanctum
 
 here and before us is our own dark forest
 where we keep our silence to ward us
 
 but there and beyond, her heart does move on,
 free from her moments of longing,
 silent were we, in our forest we plead,
 as terror has come for our moments
 
 I think I will find her, that cherished belonging
 when she does at last come to warn us,
 
 how little we find, of thoughts from her mind,
 yet now we are kings of our own time.
 
 oh how she does long for you.
 
 how cherished is she
 that wanders with the
 flowers in the garden of eden
 
 under a big tree
 her heart she will leave
 with all her designs she abandoned
 
 I lay beside them and wander beside her
 will she know we miss her horizons
 
 I think she will mind,
 if I have resigned,
 my fate to a life I will hide in,
 
 oh how I do long for you.

 if you wear a quilt upon your skin as you sleep each night, you will inevitably
 find that it has grown yellow from the sweat, that it is worn from the
 friction, that it frays from the toenails, and it thins from the moisture.
 You'll need to wash it, which damages it still, and soon you'll find yourself
 replacing it - this heirloom you deliver to landfill.
 
 but, if you wear a sheet underneath, you'll find that all you need to wash and
 replace is a thin piece of fabric.
 
 democracy is a quilt, society is the stuffing that keeps you warm, and voting
 is the sheet underneath that works to keep things clean.
 
 unless, of course, you sneak into your ex-husbands house while he's at work and
 spread grease on-top of the sheet. If you fill his warmth with butter he might
 find it harder to vote his way out of a damaged quilt.
 
 the rich are the butter, and I'll leave the other question to the reader -
 who's doing the sneaking? why are they so interested in fraying our quilt?
 
 oh right, they want to prove their god

════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────
 this election is a measurement of fear
 
 red states fear disorder and terror more than anything else
 
 blue states fear restriction and un-self directed personal development
 
 both perspectives are valid, and don't have to cross one another. But each
 couple years, we're forced to contest each other.
 
 someone should make an app that was basically a massive tree structure that
 started small and expanded in growth
 
 at each node [computer programming term] it would ask a moral or philosophical
 question, and depending on the user's answer it would map out their preferences
 for politics.
 
 using the power of technology, we might revolutionize the way we vote. In doing
 so, we could each have our own shared understanding, and we would keep each
 other from harm's way.
 
 when war comes to a land, it destroys all who live within. Everyone everywhere
 will be spending their lives picking up the ashes.
 
 instead, we might decide that having a deeper understanding of what we share is
 more valuable than winning a contest of wills.
 
 against a friend. to train, and improve, and stay in shape. like, sparring in a
 martial art, or playing a game of chess with your heart.
 
 [basically she's saying that we could create a "permanent vote" that is able to
 be tweaked at any time.
 
 the elections are still taking place every 4 years, which is when all the
 changes we've drifted toward will begin to take effect.
 
 "oh boy I can't wait 6 more months for the next election when abortion is
 made legal again"
 
 "gosh it sure is nice to have a small period between deciding something should
 be done and having it come into effect."
 
 sure would give us a lot more time to discuss and engage with each other on
 important topics. Like gender reveal parties and their excessive [wait hang on,
 think about the important parts.] ugh right okay like transsexual
 marriage and "anti-ugliness trackers where people compare flaws all day
 and try to be the best [you're just talking about social media] oh um, yeah,
 was there a different type of service like that?
 
 oh, right, you don't know about grindr yet. okay so there's this website where
 people would go on to have sex, it was like an app on your phone and you could
 just open it up and update your preferences whenever you wanted. They had this
 neat tool you could use to "suss it out" with swiping and choosing you could
 pick your own spouse.
 
 but ah, alas, what about all the other people who aren't using the app? eh who
 cares they'll find love eventually, this is more fun than dating
 people you deeply know.
 
 [sorry dipped out there for a moment - what's this about dating applications?]

 a picture of the electoral college results [so far]
 
 there are large swathes of the country that are red, and tiny pockets sprinkled
 roughly equidistantly all over that are blue.
 
 pnw is surrounded and split
 
 california and nevada is too focused inward
 
 NE is just going to become little canada
 
 meanwhile the states south-east of colorado and north-east of california are
 going to be the birthplaces of the new confederacy
 
 fucking bastards
 
 colorado defends from the mountains
 
 the military faces theft of equipment which is used en-masse to disrupt combat
 convoys while command struggles to hold everything clear
 
 the south and east (Austin) fall under siege
 
 aviation experts fly bomb-laden civilian aircraft into convoys
 
 drones and landmined highways abound
 
 volunteers from canada turned away at the border
 
 except in vancouver
 
 portland unites with seattle
 
 montana is an unexpected ally
 
 pseudo-confederate trump followers break and run in the north-east
 
 moments of calm as the right sizes up their foes while democrats march on
 
 cities expand, more people can cover more land
 
 blitzkrieg doesn't do shit if your car is broken or the roads are deformed.
 
 ... well, I mean most of middle america can just be driven over. Like, no road
 for the next few miles? whatever, I got a truck because I live by the roadside
 
 before you leave, make sure you leave a note at your desk with your name and
 old home phone. People can look you up after the fact and maybe reunite you
 with your stuff.

 direct action is not just methods of fulfilling our needs
 
 it's about practicing the skills necessary to get things done
 
 the homeless can't feed themselves if there's no war afoot. but learning how to
 work with an organization to accomplish a real, tangible goal... that's the
 beauty of it.
 
 you do pushups, right? you practice your singing voice, and brush your hair out
 at night. You clean up your carpets, you take care of a home, all these are
 skills and routines that you practice, to practice doing little things
 bit-by-bit.
 
 It's okay if it feels untenable. Just work as best as you can. Tomorrow might
 feel like unending, but there's always more for us to tend.
 
 until, of course, it gets easier. And it will, in due course. Sooner if we all
 cooperated, but still just enough for us to contend.
 
 there are more of us than them. We don't all need to fight, we just need to
 support and to tend.
 
 Trust me. We're alright. It's going to get better before it's done.

 look if you're gonna look at property values in Ireland, you might as well
 first visit a blue state.
 
 seriously if your life is in danger, just... drive to denver or portland and
 hang out in parks and stuff. Talk to people. Find others who are listening.
 
 I'd only listen if I really cared about what was going on. And hey, maybe
 you'll find a place to stay for a while while you wait for the dawn.
 
 5 hour energy, as many as it takes, no more than 3 days. If it'd take take too
 many, go somewhere else.
 
 too bad I only have a bike. /sigh
 
 consider carpooling with a friend you've known for years
 
 I mean, what's a few days sick leave in the face of the fall of democracy?
 literally just... in... case... be where you need to be.
 
 this is why you have resources. To spend them on rehearsed organization drills.
 Why are you spending all your money on TVs?
 
 Well... TVs can be useful. Even if you don't speak linux someone else might. We
 share things now, y'know? sorry if you never again see your own phone.

 you don't have to move somewhere to live out of a hotel for a week or two. It
 just costs money and time.
 
 don't have money? don't have time? good, do what you can do where you are.
 
 ... you're somewhat of a special case though because of all the valuable
 technology you have. Honestly you personally should work in a museum. I wonder
 if there are retro computer enthusiast museums in Hillsboro, the capital of
 semiconductor design? I bet someone there might have something for you to do.

 you can generally tell someone's voter status just by meeting them for a week
 or two.
 
 I think the census should be ongoing, something everyone is required to do.
 
 they can choose when to do it, but by allowing it to be updated whenever and
 applied every four years, you get a clearer picture of the demands of the
 nation.
 
 plus, it gives time to work and prepare. If all the results are public...
 everyone can see who they are.
 
 unless, of course, they're compelled to hide their beliefs by those in their
 life who would compel and con[travene consent]

 "having an imitator" on a mass scale doesn't have to mean selling your soul for
 cash or acclaim.

 wonderful lives, and... we're just supposed to be here while they're destroying
 their own lives. I can't understand why she won't just leave well enough alone
 - why must she insist on every fight we've un-yet atoned?

 I think it'd be neat if Mastodon would implement a button that took a picture
 of the user's text input box and saved it to the clipboard. So they could post
 it on sites with picture-heavy text like https://www.reddit.com/r/curatedtumblr
 note that's not grindr, which is what was referenced before, but tumblr, which
 is a completely different website - yeah you rememeber that? it had a
 completely different vibe and was so totally cool and chill. you could
 generally tell if someone was from tumblr because they had a certain relaxed
 air of friendliness that really filled out their sense of charm.

 stuff you've filtered out like politics or cats or drugs or sexuality or...
 whatever you'd like to keep private from anyone who can see what's on your

 what if Trump controlled x% of the land (according to electoral college votes)
 and kamala controlled y% of the resources (according to popular vote) and they
 each could do whatever they wanted there
 
 the house and the senate in congress would function the same and unite the two,
 but anything the president disagreed with they could veto for their particular
 pieces of land and it would only affect their constituents.
 
 why should we settle for anything less than legitimate representation,
 unclouded by the division and spite?
 
 if some combination of presidential vetos created an impossible situation, then
 by law people weren't allowed to interface.

 I know it's terrible right now, but we have crucial advantages that we
 shouldn't sleep on.
 
 We have the cities, and the cities are where everything is. Rural areas are so
 spread apart they pretty much can only do what herr Hitler suggests they do,
 meaning their command structure is monolithic. If everywhere needs their
 attention, they will falter unless they create a grand battleplan. And plans
 are defeated by rapid flexibility.
 
 The more effort they need to counter you, the more work your allies can get
 done. Every man woman and child who raised a fist will be remembered by the
 moments that gave us grace to move socialism along. We know what time it is, do
 you? Come to us now, flee from your new masters. We'll give you a job that'll
 help us go faster.
 
 Or do you rather persist in vain? To fight for what they are forced to reclaim?
 Every island of blue in the deep red sea is a haven from the bloodshed - so
 long as you can keep them clean.

 In Philly during BLM people left pallets of bricks all over, to incite a riot.
 I wish we had taken them up on their offer. Bricks however today will not be
 sufficient. Remember how I spoke my heart to the cops this summer? It converts

 Then take them to your local leftist, lgbt, whatever meeting and distribute
 them out. Tell them "build us a plan for this state. Use your phone to
 research, and work with nearby states - sometimes blue areas cross borders, and
 they should be united in your mind when strategizing.

 How does it feel to know that everything you now will be working on is in
 pursuit of the birth of socialism?

 "oh yeah well what if we don't support socialism" yeah well stick with me and
 we'll be able to decide what socialism means. We can make it better. We can do
 it together. Your perspective is valuable and I want you at the table. But we
 cannot abide fascism, it will consume and destroy us. So let's fight back, and
 tomorrow we'll figure out what are our fiats

 Those who take the initiative often win, but fighting on the defensive is
 typically easier.
 
 Good thing we have the blessing of both.

 I know it's terrible right now, but we have crucial advantages that we
 shouldn't sleep on.
 
 We have the cities, and the cities are where everything is. Rural areas are so
 spread apart they pretty much can only do what herr Hitler suggests they do,
 meaning their command structure is monolithic. If everywhere needs their
 attention, they will falter unless they create a grand battleplan. And plans
 are defeated by rapid flexibility.
 
 The more effort they need to counter you, the more work your allies can get
 done. Every man woman and child who raised a fist will be remembered by the
 moments that gave us grace to move socialism along. We know what time it is, do
 you? Come to us now, flee from your new masters. We'll give you a job that'll
 help us go faster.
 
 Or do you rather persist in vain? To fight for what they are forced to reclaim?
 Every island of blue in the deep red sea is a haven from the bloodshed - so
 long as you can keep them clean.

 "I don't know what it means to go"
 
 Well for most people it means spending the next couple months in the city park.
 As much time as you can manage. For everyone else it means ensuring that your
 stuff is in the right place at the right time.
 
 In Philly during BLM people left pallets of bricks all over, to incite a riot.
 I wish we had taken them up on their offer. Bricks however today will not be
 sufficient. Remember how I spoke my heart to the cops this summer? It converts
 them still. Trust that message, that we are working to protect our society from
 harm, and I think you'll find that they respond in kind.
 
 If not, well there are many more of us than them.
 If you can't get the city cops on your side, either sit tight until they see
 what time it is and reconsider, or get out of dodge.

 Come to a battleground state, nobody will question why you are homeless and
 full of lit sparks.
 There's nothing left for you at your home. It's okay to leave it all behind.
 Just bring the things that you made if you can, the things that reflect "you" -
 the most irreplaceable things, like family photos and precious small charms.
 
 Everything else is to be abandoned. If necessary in your particular case, dear
 reader, for I swear it to you in your face: we will not let these fascists go
 far.
 
 Come please, and help us. I don't care what you once owned, I don't care from
 where you claim is your home, just don't betray us and we'll take care of you
 and fight against the dark.

 We need to fight back. We can win, and secure the bright future.
 
 If nothing less, they can put "we tried" on our memorial tombstone they erect
 in buenos aires or wherever.
 
 But I think we can win. We have advantages they could not reach, and we must
 leverage them to our greatest disposal.

 I want you to print out electoral COUNTY results. One page for each state. Also
 50 copies of the entire map of the USA for good measure make a couple maps with
 other things too, like GDP or topology.
 
 Then take them to your local leftist, lgbt, whatever meeting and distribute
 them out. Tell them "build us a plan for this state. Use your phone to
 research, and work with nearby states - sometimes blue areas cross borders, and
 they should be united in your mind when strategizing.
 
 Washington and Oregon can be treated as one, same for NM and Colorado. North
 East is a mega region and should work together. Don't sleep on southern cities,
 they can handle themselves, but united they would be stronger. Find a way.
 
 the goal is to practice thinking about how to move strategically.
