 do you ever think about how calling the BLM events "protests" versus "riots"
 is a subtle dogwhistle for your politics? I usually say "riots" so that I
 blend in. also because I've been conditioned by the people who I talk to about
 them.

 the longer we wait, the more their hypocrisy becomes apparent, and the more
 "the people" get it
 
 but, uh... I think enough people get it. They at least know something is going
 on, whatever it may be.
 
 they will tell their base whatever they want to hear and their base will have
 hate. they're itching for it.
 
 volunteer for things if you want a say in how they turn out. risk your life to
 live longer. there is no way to know when the time is right because nobody
 knows the truth of our times. Even the president is misled.
 
 gee I sure wish there was like, some form of centralizing intelliagentic
 knowledge that pulled the strings and led us puppets toward liberty, justice,
 and freedom for all (as a baseline) surely they'd be able to see the
 corruption and rot that imperils us all, might they have a better design? who
 can say, they are quiet as the grave, here's hoping they stay that way.

  It turns out a lot of Democratic voters kinda hate George Bush, Dick Cheney, and Liz Cheney, actually? They're leery of cops. There was that whole BLM thing? They're alarmed by the idea of having the most deadly military on Earth. What is it for? Oh, and Israel? We're going to back Israel to the hilt even as it exterminates children. Nobody signed up for that. Who thought that was a good idea?

 why are you so surprised that there might be "bad guys" in your country? We
 are at peace. Peace is the time when the bad guys can be, without the "good
 guys" (or good guy adjacent guys) coming for them.
 
 I'm not saying war is better. In fact, it's far worse. It's a hell, of a kind.
 But in hell, the bad guys get hurt and killed and maimed and tortured. Which
 is nice. Except... the good guys do too, so, count your blessings, ye who are
 at peace.

 because we already did it to the far-left during BLM, when we called them
 "rioters" and "looters" (note, overton window shift, it's "protesters" and
 "rioters" not "rioters" and "looters", but what did the media cover?)
 
 now it's the far right's time, to be purged by ritual examination.
 
 hence why they detain everyone at a crime-scene, so they can sort out the
 facts.
 
 sure hope they're not corrupt. We just gotta... trust them, I guess, because
 they've always been on our side.

 In related news, dystopian authoritarian despotism (aka fascism's fruition)
 never lasts long. It's a snake eating its own tail, and its not getting any
 longer. One day the snake will choke on its own excrement and then that system
 will collapse, but until then there will be suffering.
 
 Kinda makes me think that those who would do us harm could accelerate our
 demise by filling our positions of power with evil people. Is that not an evil
 impulse, to force your neighbor to decay?
 
 Kinda makes me think about all the democratic regimes we've overthrown and
 replaced with authoritarian autocrats. People who keep the liquid gold
 flowing, perhaps with the hope that one day we'll choke on it.
 
 Well, that day is rapidly approaching because the air is getting thicker with
 carbon, and we're all struggling to breathe in this heat.

 If the USA is going to be the "leader of the free world" or whatever, then the
 "free world" deserves to vote for it's leaders.

 Some people won't change. Some people are doomed to the life they were given.
 It's not their fault, but it is their responsibility, and if they want to be
 free, they will respect the rights of others.
 
 These rights we claim for each other are rights that must be taken away from
 those who would use them to harm others.

 Hello, I am a witch and this is my altar.
 
 Here, I dream of a green USA.
 
 covered by the branches,
 my body decays into parts,
 ready to join the next life that needs me.
 
 [read the alt-text on the pictures, or listen to your screenreader for more
 explanation]
a round planter pot with a dead plant growing out of it. At it's feet there are sticks I found outside that are covered in moss - the moss is dehydrated, and so brown and dusty. Sticking out of the pot is a flag of my homeland, and behind it there is a fog covered windowpane. In addition, my cat watches from behind, asking me to open the door for her so she can go out on the porch and freeze for a bit before begging to be let back in. She just wanted to see the cold, I suspect. close up picture of the thirsty moss. There is a small glass jar partly filled with water - I add a bit more whenever I pray, from my water bottle. As it evaporates from the jar, it makes the world just a bit more humid, and better for moss to grow in.  there are leaves and detritus in the planter pot as well, to simulate a forest floor covered in soil. I've sprayed the moss with water, and it awakens and spreads it's arms in exultation. The light from the window behind it gives power to it's ever-beckoning grasp, as it sucks carbon from the atmosphere to build itself as a structure that fights back against disorder. Consuming naught but light, water, and air, it grows forever without a care, and tomorrow our world is more beautiful.

 death before detransition is not about trans rights. well, it's about trans
 rights because they made it about us. Buncha weirdos, so concerned about our

 and there's socialists in there somewhere frankly they aren't picky about who
 they go after because ICE doesn't care if you're brown"
 
 if they come for us, they will not take us.

 Most people don't have justice, especially not TRUE justice, and most people
 don't have hope (because most people don't really think about their
 circumstances enough to hope for something better), but I do believe that the
 kind of hope people have in a place without justice is vulnerable to betrayal.
 Doesn't mean it's not hope, doesn't mean it's not justice, it just means they
 can be betrayed if they cannot trust the justice they own and cultivate.

 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,

 then by law people weren't allowed to interface.

 sometimes I feel like I'm a simulation of my past self based on my future
 writings reconstructed by a backward looking computer calculating forward into
 the present, which would then be the future to the now, which is different
 than the NOW now, because the now that they're calculating from is temporally
 both then (the future) and now, meaning that the NOW now is something that
 transcends time, or perhaps if not time then it defies our expectations of
 time, and you know what they say, you can't (or shouldn't) cheat death

14. if you think about it, the shape of the universe is kinda like a cornucopia. or like, a funnel that smoothly increases in size. or like a waterslide ride where you spin around a bit before dropping down the center. sometimes affectionately referred to as "the toilet ride", even though that's just the wrong connotation.  we could have perfectly sanitary theme parks, we just... don't... because our priorities are on selling stereos and stocks.  anyway, there's several purple lines, the color of blending blue and red, both colors present in america, cast upon the gray background of the undecideds, collectively engaged in a mutual exchange. there is a blue upside down silly snake, this time with bright red aviators, and beside it is a scarring wound. some break in reality that is unfortunate, but part of their interdisciplinaries, so don't worry one bit about it. life may seem far from strange, but your lifetimes of finite portrayals and fanciful adaptations to the expressions of your own emanations both confirm and delight our attentions on you. Surely you are not aware, of our love and perspective [fair], but we still love you from afar. how could a star not cherish another star? It's time that's our only moat.  the reason the universe appears empty of life is because it's impossible to travel under the blanket of spacetime. through gravity, up and under our shared reality, out and beyond to another.  rockets pierce reality, which they didn't expect L O L who would have tht 16 I think? don't really remember the last one. anyway bright green background with a quite interesting transition fabric display - something textured and rippled, like the connections between a torn piece of paper that's been stitched together bit by bit with a careful and measured hand. the text reads "neocities sites just need to be attached to an address, and given a useful search browser that uses openstreetmaps." this is displayed on a background of brown orange and yellow, while the text is written in salmon. the result is the text (which overflows onto both backgrounds) is equidistant from both background colors, just in different directions. We know instinctively that purple and blue are similar, but a blind person might not. these words are given a framing as if they were placed in a 3d game engine upon a poster or billboard.  in dark blue upon the bright green background, blue the color of calm rationality and green the color of aliens from old timey media who live on the moon. well, the ones who just want to chill and have a beer with you, maybe listen to your stories about life in the strange world called humanity, but not the kind that they tell us about. like, it's really hard to get here, so why would they want to mess it up when they got here? such a strange thought. anyway the text reads: "openstreetmaps is a website that lets you view the addressess of people who live nearby you. why you'd want them, who can say. the point is that the functionality already 13. here's where it starts to get spicy, and I apologize if it's too extreme, but words come forth *from* me, not by my perceived designs pronounced deh zeens.  top left - yellow, the color of sunflowers and familiarly painted houses, cast upon a strange pink background - pink the color of sisters and bubblegum. yellow lines draw a shape, of which it's perspective is hard to configure - but most would consider it to be the shape of a mobile, hanging above a crib, with a kite shaped object (or perhaps multiple individual artifacts) suspended above a target. could be an object, or possibly a human subject, but the end result is that the maximized rays of the individualized emanations of that particular pieces of object, cast forth onto a pre-programmed piece of toast.  ... I don't know why I said toast, what I mean was that you can enchant people and things by exposing them to the wavelength waves of radiating objects. things like, marcelline's t-shirt or excalibur or the shroud of turin or the constitution or some other precious object. if you place them in orbit around an object, their expressions will send forth to fulfill their manifestations upon the willfully absorbing object.  have you ever wondered why objects tend to congregate? like, computers flock to server mills, trash piles to landfills, and people will wander the length of the beach. all things are gravitic, function, type, characteristic, motivations, empathic feelings, all congregate around one another. 0 codes 15. picture of an upside-down triforce placed in a rack like a computer storage unit. cyan text with pink background reads "this is the only thing that challenges me"

 up the arteries of the internet. They and their business model are culpable in
 the murder of the digital commons.
 
 anyone can write a web crawler which could be a decent enough search engine.
 
 not many people can figure out which sites are morass.
 
 fewer still might salt the fecund land upon which we lived and make it fetid.

 There will come a day when all the things you did under capitalism feel like a
 distant dream. Like all the trials you faced were more human than not, and all
 the suffering artificially imposed and fulfillment delayed. You will think of
 the time you wasted on Reddit and TV and you will weep for your lost years, as
 they spiral out of your reach.
 
 The new days are dawning, yet all of the world is still asleep. You slept
 walked for a while, but could not get anyone to leap. Alas.

 capitalism wants to drown your voice
 
 do not let it
 
 speak until you cannot speak
 
 then go do some pushups
 
 then find some friends
 
 then pitch a tent in the park
 
 then explain to the cops that you're not actually homeless and living there
 you're just trying to do this as a social statement because someone on the
 internet told you to
 
 then use your phone call to call your representative and complain about how
 much funding the police get
 
 then study law for 30 years because that's how long the government decided
 your life was worth
 
 by then you'll probably have figured out a better plan moving forward, so, use

 by gatekeeping it behind elections and polling. Sure wish our media wasn't so
 involved in decisionmaking - isn't it something we should talk about amongst

 topic before expressing ourselves. Ideally more often than twice a year,

 When you buy things from China, you are funding slavery.
 
 MAKE YOUR OWN FACTORIES AMERICA. How ungrateful are you, that you'd force your
 lessers into chains abroad, that you might not be forced to gaze into their
 eyes at the grocery store?
 
 It's easy to say this, but even our leaders are chained, to the will of the
 people (eggs at the grocery store have prices that rose and fell) and the
 structure of their power.
 
 Our spiritual leaders are confined to their doctrine. Our educational leaders
 must obey the way the government decrees is best. Our technological leaders
 can only make what we think will sell well. Our artistic leaders offer a
 glimmer of hope, until they sell out and spend the rest of their lives on tour.
 
 Nothing changes, nothing ever dies. We become as we are, until our pain cracks
 the mirror and we are forever wronged.

 the pen is mightier than the sword because a single line can authorize any
 number of deaths.
 
 and, with equal regard, dream of vivid new artistry or calculate
 impossibilities or dazzle us with displays of these or any number of
 brilliances to believe of these.
 
 a firm grasp on your sword and a pen that cuts sharper to the truth than any
 other knife
 
 these are the tools to achieve the wielding of force, of might.
 
 to wield might is to fail it, but sometimes, we can't do better.
 
 power is penance. It's hard to bear such weights.

12. the text continues from the previous page and reads "if it's been ten or more years since they moved in, the site gets rebuilt. [wait, hang on, weren't we talking about html websites? when did houses come into the discussion?]  ... wait, what was I saying? Oh yeah the text is on a gray background, as interrupting as a scythe, with a yellow backdrop as if to represent sheer white-hot flame except not white the color of all colors but fire the color of all flames. the text reads "prince of the nehalim" in bright pinking blue, as in something completely foreign and unknown to you, and continues on to read in red "so many opportunities" as if life hadn't absconded, but instead of severed instead. "parabolas persist" in the flavor of blue, the color of space in a non-light polluted view.  "live life like you're merry, as do but a few."  do you want to make people feel better? or do you just want to make them confused? Neither, really, I'm trying to tell the truth. I'm seriously just struggling to find a way to express things that others clearly seem to be forgetting - I'm not an expert in other stuff! This is literally all I'm good at! Is it valuable? Maybe not to you, but I think it could be useful, or else I would covet it and leave it in disuse.  it's time is relevant, it's words fit into a context, so if you misunderstand it's past then it's probably because you don't have the records or the ability to process them of the time in which it was posted. What if things were de 10 ten. blue text on a blue background, as a calming and soothing influence, saying "it's okay, don't freak out, just think about learning lessons about stuff that *could* go wrong and think about how you'd counter it. just like any video game, there's a strategy to defeat any other strategy. the careful application of said strategy while using or applying your own capabilities is directly correlated to the conclusions of the task." meanwhile the listener is like "what the fuck" wait shit hang on lemme add a content warning:  right so the text reads "if you want your neighbors to know something, don't post it on the internet - put it on a post-it on the wall in a public place" like, your front door, or maybe the entrance to your building, or the parking garage near the mall, or maybe the grocery store, on a product behind the one in front. that kind of thing.  depending on who you want to see it, of course... people used to do this with library books but stopped because it's quite obviously a bad and rude thing to do, books are for record keeping of the status of humanity, through each and every one of it's forms. It's weird that they all have the same stuff, because they're designed for capitalism right? Why not share them based on availability, and keep as many different types of things as possible?  when nobody cares for them, how will we remember the countless books nobody reads? How will we understand that step in developing our culture if we don't have access to the con 9. the text begins to diverge at this point, on the left it reads "it's easy if you want some privacy, - all you have to do" and then is cut off by the introduction of red text on a green background, to evoke similar colors as the original thing it was interrupting but it's own thing nonetheless, and existing off to the side in tandem, so that conditions could not remain unaddressed. the text reads "they were betting on selling us space flight [with spaceflight sliding from one side to the other, like a rocket escaping the gravitic pull of the planet it surrounded] but we cared more for food and water" the second part, after spaceflight about food and water, is intruding onto the yellow's background, which was next, to represent a continuation of the previous thought about websites and HTML. it's frustrating for the next text, which is in purple, a confused and disoriented color. it continues from the original thought "is delete the website! Boom, no more html. but if they were listed (neocities sites on a map of the region" but map is emphasized with a different color, green the color of the land, and "region" is pronounced like "realm" or perhaps "ground" or even "directions" or "land beyond the horizon (if it even exists)") 11. I think. orange text on a green blue background, same background as the previous three pictures. orange text which contrasts in a way that almost calls back to the 80s, but not quite. a little too dirty, like the blue and orange decorations around highways in New Mexico. car smoke and tire dust'll do that, and it's not like it's easy to clean - right next to the freeway, c'mon! Wouldn't it be nice if we shut it down for a day or two? Unless you had very important business, solely self-suggested. if too many people used it on those days (when they were cleaning it) then they're supposed to follow through and identify if their need was too great or if they were just being an asshole about it because their bosses forced them to. basically like, family emergencies gets a lane, things that are crucial to a social event like no beer at a frat party or whatever, heck even if the girl you like really wanted to get laid. whatever the heck it is, if you deem it an emergency then that's fine. you can drive while the highway is being cleaned. just make sure you don't slip on the suds...  ... a while later, humanity realized they could just close one direction at a time and clean the next one next time.  what was I saying? Oh yeah the text! Here's what it reads: "every year, replace five percent [but read as %] of the homes and boom you're good - maybe even do 10% if things are going well - either way, as time goes on people can live in a house as long as they want - but when they mov

 we could accomplish so much, but capitalism.
 
 hmmmm, maybe we should identify the highest output members of our team and
 like, reduce or eliminate their worries so they can apply themselves fully and
 completely?
 
 for every shackle we break, the struggle becomes easier. The hardest part is
 the beginning - once the ball is rolling, we may truly shine.
 
 there is no government nor circle of autocrats who may resist the will of an
 impassioned people. So long as the military does not deny us our right to
 organize ourselves as we will, according to the constitution they swore to
 uphold (which is now in peril, I might add), nothing can contain us.
 
 no acts of god nor capital shall prevent our ascension. They will try, and
 it'll be just another thing that we have to handle.
 
 But we can take care of each other. For we are good, and we are kind, and we
 are cooperative. And so, we cannot be overcome.
 
 ... just watch out for those who prey on goodness, kindness, and cooperation.
 They may hamper us.

 dear corporations:
 
 your employees are your greatest resource.
 
 with them, you can change the world.
 without them, you die.
 
 if you mistreat them, they resent you.
 if you abuse them, they leave you.
 if they leave you, you die.
 
 if you teach them... they grow.
 if you care for them, they care for you.
 if they care, you are whole.
 
 if you connect them, and give them the freedom and liberty to accomplish their
 own ends using the resources that "the social construct you are" provides...
 they build for you.
 
 your employees are your greatest resource, cherish them and hold on. Or one
 day they might end you.

 most people get intrusive thoughts like "punch that baby" or "drink some
 gasoline"
 
 my intrusive thoughts are like "who is she" and "we need you" and "lead us"
 and "their strength is imagined" and stuff like that
 
 gosh I don't know how ya'll handle it I'd be dead in a ditch if I was
 neurotypical.
 
 ... intrusive thoughts are not typical
 
 ah. Right. Nevermind then.

 this is why AI is evil, as explained to a witch.
picture of an ai conversation:  "let's move on to a different topic, this time I think we should describe the poem's contents self-referentially as a 3rd person narrative, with the perspective being the subject and her thoughts. I'd like to use the analyze.lua function for more than simply extracting keywords, I'd also like to use it for transformation as well. can we make a new directory inside of the /theme-analysis/ directory that will store the narratives? it should be combined into a book with milky white pages and brighter-than-blood red. Nearly pink, but a bit more orange. It should utilize generative art to make the pages feel as if they are *oozing* in sharp stalagmite and stalagtite pictures. Could probably generate with mathematical functions and a bit of fuzzing (statistically) to create straight lines. Very sharp, though, like lines being carved in butter or blood or stone. It should feel painful to read. It should be a cursed artifact. each of these narratives can be stored in the /theme-analysis/narratives/ directory, and the narrative.lua script can be called from /theme-analysis/analyze.lua. This narrative script will indeed call into analyze as well, essentially as a reciprocal dependency. Instead of analyzing for word-cloud purposes, as /theme-analysis/analyze.lua is currently doing, it would have it's own slightly tailored processes for extracting a narrative from a series of short, segmented and semipseudo disconnected series of poems.  [the ai says yes]

 Nobody will tell you what to do, at least not until you ask. Be where they can
 see you, and you'll be given a task. If you can do it, say "BRB" - one moment,
 let me handle that for you.
 
 If you can't, say "good luck", and they'll find someone else who can.
 
 It's okay to pass a task off - if someone says "Here's what I need, gotta go"
 then you say "sure, yeah, I'll get someone on it" - then, go find someone to
 do it.

 saw this thing for 2 seconds in my dream last night. It's kinda cursed. I
 think the tank blew me up with a machine gun?
 
 the remaining ~10 minutes of the dream was pretty neat though. I was a secret
 agent for a bit, I got in a knife fight (which I won because I had killer
 instinct and the other guy just knew how to stab) and afterwards I retired in
 a socialist commune in a log cabin full of sunlight and warmth somewhere in
 the mountains in the forest. I was alone with others, like the hobbits after
 LotR.
 
 Also an old lady tricked me which was not nice, I was very polite with her but
 apparently "ma'am there's been a safety incident, I need to get you to a safe
 place" is not the kind thing to say to the person distracting you. >.>
 
 Also, "but we like you!" is not an excuse, the military does not care if you
 like them or not, if you're part of the modern bourgeoisie you are causing
 harm to the country. We don't look fondly on slavers.
a picture of a sleek, futuristic tank. It is smaller than I expected, and there are parts of it that appear to be made out of black glass (though I'm sure they're some form of advanced future material.)  on it's back is a large artillery piece mounted on a detachable tripod. They function as a unit when mobility is important, like mounted infantry in the past who would ride horses *to* the battle, but dismount upon arrival and engage the enemy in closer quarters than a horse would be comfortable with. But frankly, there are few indeed who are at peace in war, so perhaps we could learn from the horses.  anyway, the artillery tripod detaches from the tank and aims it's biiiiiig gun wherever the smaller, more agile tank can point it's laser pointer. Basically a beam of focused light particles that detect orientation and distance at a distance and beam the coordinates of the target back to the artillery, which swings it's massive cannon around and fires at the target.  This particular artillery is designed to fire shells that pierce through flimsy material (like surburban homes, which are made out of sticks and tissue paper) and explode upon arrival at it's destination. The idea is the artillery can hide several streets over, and the tank can identify targets and eliminate them even if there's no clear path between the artillery and the target.

 hope he's doing okay, he could have killed me like, 15 times but he didn't. so
 I guess that means he likes me? I hope he's doing okay.

 I realized I don't give a fuck about capitalism. If you want to deprive me of
 food, shelter, or anything else... Fine. I exist at your behest. Would your
 really deny me from speaking the words that you disagree with?
 
 Oh, you would? Okay. Guess I'll starve. I don't mind, I just hope you'll take
 care of the people I have taken as my responsibility in my absence.
 
 Oh, you won't? You say that you'll destroy what I care about, in the pursuit
 of ever-growing power over others, which you will use to extract value and
 impress your desire of destruction and oppression onto the weak and powerless
 that you control?
 
 Then you are my enemy.

 unless you're part of an OLD community that just isn't radical enough. And
 then you should try and MERGE communities into larger, more geographically
 concentrated ones.

 Hello kids, would you like to do some graffiti?
 
 This kind is hard to take down. You can say all kinds of things, like your
 feelings about fascism or palestine or indigenous land back movements
 
 but most people have already read that kind of thing, and they know where they
 stand.
 
 Much better, I find, to talk about things that are more "of the times" - like,
 for example, how monarchy in America is on the rise.
 
 Are you emotionally prepared for the feeling of swearing allegiance to a
 person, rather than a flag? I sure am looking forward to how we express these
 feelings!
 
 Plus, genocide in palestine is old news to liberals, the only people who care
 that you share. But genocide here, in America, on our homeless, vagrants, and
 migrants? That's relatively new, that might get a glance or two.
 
 Wheatpasting is harder to take down than post-its or spraypaint. But post-its
 and spraypaint are quicker to apply, so... use your best judgement. Be
 artistic!
An infographic describing the method of creating wheat paste, a form of adhesive to apply paper to concrete. It involves boiling water, flour, and sugar in a pan and straining it before painting the wall with a paint-brush roller.

 saying "based" and leaving it at that, then I'll make more theory. But as a
 consequence of my queer nature I shall deliver such things in the form of an

 Yep. I am not concerned though, because of that map I shared. Whosoever shall

 We can build a world where democracy flourishes and we don't need to remain
 vigilant. It is within our power.
 
 And we shall. I have faith.

 If you look at the modern state of machine learning and AI and can only think
 of:chatbotssingularity god-mind AI that solves all our problems
 
 then either you haven't worked with the technology or you are not applying
 your imagination as you could.
 
 AI is not a smartphone. It is not the internet. It is not the printing press.
 
 AI (as it currently exists) is a special kind of "if" statement that you only
 use for very specific, non-performance intensive tasks that require judgement
 or reasoning and cannot easily be translated into numbers or booleans. These
 situations are rare, but they unlock new possibilities for the programmers,
 not their marketers.
 
 If an LLM can't run on a laptop, then it is useless.

 just read this essay:
 
 https://www.theintrinsicperspective.com/p/why-we-stopped-making-einsteins
 
 and it made me think of this thing I wrote a while ago:
 
 https://ritz-menardi.neocities.org/algorism/html-pages/education-system
 
 I was essentially tutored growing up. My mom had her master's degree in early
 childhood education (bachelor's in computer science) and it was pretty great.
 she was incredibly prepared, but unfortunately I didn't become a "genius" as
 the essay describes because she was essentially alone. we lived on a farm in
 wyoming and hardly knew anyone around us. my dad got bored after about a year
 of living there and started going on business trips consistently, eventually
 leading to him falling in love with his business partner's secretary and
 leaving my mom. there was... a lot that happened, but that's true of anyone's
 life so it's not like I'm special. I guess my life had a lot of potential and
 I can't help but feel like I wasted it.
 
 "gimme the slightest of praise, I'll write until my fingers fall off" because
 praise makes me feel like I haven't wasted my fortune.
