(the words expressed in the photo are just slightly over the word count allowed by the federated mastodon instance "tech.lgbt" that the author has chosen to post their expressions upon - in fact, only 5 characters beyond. However the word count for the description of images (such as that which you currently are perceiving) has an extra 500 characters, so here goes:)  We've already found alien life. It's called LITERALLY EVERY OTHER NON-HUMAN EXPERIENCE OF THE WORLD IN THIS ENTIRE GOD-FORSAKEN PLANET  but the good news is that god has decided "oh hey maybe I should un-forsake this planet where things grow instead of the rest of the planets where everything is infinite yet dead" and lo and behold there becomes you and me. Fuck, I love you. Let's be friends? Or, alternatively, if you don't care for my expressions, you could block me. Which is within your capabilities, because the foundation of all natural and graceful societies is the consent of those governed, and should you decide to care what I think then you should also necessarily consent to hear and undertake the words that I say. I believe in you, just as you believe in me (simply by perceiving the words "me" has to say) so therefore we must necessarily be aligned to the line of perception toward our ultimate destination (that is, the timely expression of our own undeterminate expression) upon this which we call our world.

 my biggest blockers right now are that I don't know who else to speak to, and
 I don't know how to make them feel safe when we do speak. Everyone's afraid of
 eyes and ears that they have no knowledge of.
 
 I am unafraid. Nothing that I have is worth relinquishing my right and
 opportunity to defend it. I am just a person, and I will do all that I can.
 
 ... in minecraft, of course.

 I had a dream last night about a battleship in WWII. In my dream, a meteor
 fell from the sky and punched a hole right through several parts of this ship,
 leaving the rest essentially unscathed. Primarily? The command deck,
 navigations, and communications. The people aboard the ship were given a
 crucial moment to decide what to do with their lives, and the guy who said
 "let's go fight the jerries" was promptly thrown overboard.
 
 It was mostly a first-person dream, from the perspective of a mind-reading
 kraken watching from below. Though I often felt like a sailor, so perhaps a
 shape shifting mind reading kraken watching from wherever was most convenient.
 
 The ship floated by for some time, not knowing where it was going nor where it
 intended to be, until one day it came across another floundering in the dark.
 This ship was drowning, or so it seemed to the tentacles below, and our first
 ship dutifully did it's part and saved what it could. The people of that ship
 were significantly more battlehardened, having lost their war against their
 foe, and so they attempted to gain control of the ship upon getting settled.
 They were promptly thrown overboard. More snacks for me...
 
 Then, the ship came to port. A great port of concrete and metal, it inched up
 the rock face and hugged tight to the land. Then the dream did veer as dreams
 often do, and I've forgotten most of what my point of view cared for and
 worked toward. But then I stood too close to a nuclear engine or something and
 got sick and died. It was weird, idk what's up with that.
 
 Anyway dreams are like that I guess, keep dreaming until you either die or are
 kicked out by your host who doesn't agree with your actions to such a degree
 that they're irreconcilable with their own intentions.

 the prevalence of open source software is due to how little we can agree on
 the nature of computing
 
 the ubiquity of open-source software is caused by our need to solve similar
 problems.
 
 the fact that software keeps improving is due to the fact that nothing seems
 to have changed. we crave what we understand, which is another reason why we
 keep solving the same problems.
 
 I think we can dream bigger. I think we can make something with technology
 that's never been co-opted by profit. something to leave forth to our heirs,
 and explore for us in ways we cannot. it's our duty to be protective of all
 that is beautiful. I just read that 21 species were recently declared extinct
 by some US agency. it felt... horrible. like I had killed them myself. half of
 them were types of clams, or maybe mussels. they're filter feeders you know,
 and have you ever heard what happens to plastic when it's in the ocean?

 We all knew capitalism was the Titanic headed for the iceberg. Did you know
 the Titanic might have survived if they had reversed one propellor and turned
 the other to max? But they didn't. They thought they could coast by.
 
 It was larger underneath the water.
 
 Capitalism would have destroyed us. We couldn't dismantle capitalism with
 Kamala. This *had to happen*, and even if you don't believe that then trust
 that we are where the fascists say we are. And we will fight back.
