Each of Us Imperfect Comrades or: An Army of Fuckups Cannot Lose

… Rest assured, your cadre of angels will grow ever smaller, as one by one each of you is cast out for failing to meet some standard or another.” open.substack.com/pub/margaret...

This, from @margaret.bsky.social, needs to be internalized, be we anarchists, witches, or whatever: "We can try to build a better society with a dwindling cadre of angels, of perfect anarchists who have harmed no one who did not deserve it, or we can have an army of fuckups….

I am totally stoked to be a part of this!

this week's post is something i've been thinking about for a long time. it's called "all of us imperfect comrades: or, an army of fuckups cannot lose"

Can Artists Stop the AI Slop Machine? A recent workshop in Manhattan's Lower East Side challenged the notion that the takeover of machine learning is inevitable.

“[AI is] not a good knockoff. The ultimate goal is never to be as good as the art — the goal is to be good enough to get on the page, get the consumer to use it, and get rid of the worker.” —Molly Crabapple, artist

Also, the expanded 10 years reissue of my 1st #BookOfSpells rising to the Top10 on all booklists of AMZN in USA, and appearing in physical bookstores, without any publishing support, was not in my bingo, but feels pretty good 😊🥰

Hell yes! Congratulations!

I wonder if the people objecting to "eugenics against AI" also object to eugenics. The extreme vulnerability of disabled and elderly and low-income Americans. The threats to Medicaid, RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine efforts and attempts to pathologize autistic people.

Baaabeeees, if trans people just looking for ways to live their lives, and hard-working immigrants paying taxes, bother you more than p*dophiles and Nazis.

You need to Reevaluate certain beliefs of yours 👀

Love the shirt I just got in the mail from www.wyldheartandwright.co.uk/category/all...

I made it outside to the woods & waters, finally feels like home!

I also really enjoy Gemma Gary. This is piece I made for myself a lomg time ago, based on an image in one of her books.

It’s good to be back in the book after a summer off. Rainy days, grey skies, lots of words. I love Autumn.

young Jane Goodall with a camera remains calm while a small chimpanzee grooms the back of her hair

wishing the safest of travels to the great Jane Goodall 🙏

i got to talk about anarchist santa

not actually a biography, but instead talking about how this guy did a lot of cool science and changed the way we understand competition and cooperation in evolutionary biology

Interesting!
Samuel Jackson learned for Black Snake Moan and still plays every day.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

It is a beautiful formulation

I am unable to not read ‘trainers’ as ‘women’ in this sign.

I’m skeptical, it’s allowed!

Portland, this morning.

Wow, that sounds familiar!

Honored to be a guest on Julian Vayne’s iconic show My Magical Thing! I share the Fever Stone practice. For those interested who do not have my book Weaving Fate, it’s a public post (and linked to today's share there) on my Patreon. youtu.be/U79xb__8kj4?...

Just a bit of the nature channel: “Here we see the human tending to its masters, who speak amongst themselves in a language of light."

being trans is a natural outcome of giving people autonomy. you have the power to be whatever gender is yours, and you have the right to change your body to suit that if you want. because that is what it means to care about freedom.

Last call!

That was some quality wheat paste there!
