For many of these companies, we can boycott them forever until they no longer even exist.

The stranglehold that Starbucks has on airports around the globe is wild colonial malarkey.

The amount of utter bullshit that southeastern countries have to endure and adapt to because of white capitalist colonialism is unforgivable.

Ending capitalist colonialism is the only way forward for life.

Parts of Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia are experiencing devastating and historic flooding.

While heavy rain does happen during this time of the year, as with the entire globe, these catastrophic climate impacts are fatally compounding as a direct result of western influence and Empire.

Oppressors are like plastic, toxic, circulating microscopically through our very cores, killing us in every way shape and form, seemingly indestructible. But eventually, even they will be disintegrated, broken down, and forgotten forever, in the trash pile of the universe.

Additionally, we are also constantly in times of viruses, germs, UV rays, dust, and exhausted resting faces.

Hats, sunglasses, and masks can help with all of the above.

It is 100% reasonable to normalize wearing a brimmed hat, sunglasses, mask, and play around with your gait, all on a regular basis.

Because that is an appropriate response to the state normalizing surveillance.

North Carolina. I love you.

Apple has now launched their Digital ID for Wallet, enabling mobile passports.

While I recommended holding off when possible, if you do store a digital passport on your iPhone at this time, remember what I have talked about thus far:

1000s of acres of Amazon forest were cleared to make way for a 4-lane highway preceding the conference, thereby severing the entire ecosystem, and displacing life.

If you needed a peak example of Empire's capitalist colonialism, this is it.

Indigenous-led communities demanding land justice were barred and barraged by security from COP30 in Brazil, the world's largest climate conference.

In addition to disregarding Indigenous voices around land protection in general,

Oppressors have set up a world where they live in constant fear.

We will still be queer, trans, gender nonbinary, and genderqueer no matter what our passports say.

In fact, as history shows, the more they try to silence and shut us down, we only get louder, stronger, FIERCER & QUEERER.

The vulnerabilities of these AI browsers are overwhelming. Exploits could feasibly access appointments, contacts, email, banking, albums, personal, and any other connected service.

Don’t open that box.

I recommend AGAINST using an AI (agentic) browser like OpenAI’s Atlas or Perplexity’s Comet at this time.

These platforms have not worked out the bare minimum privacy and security issues of agent AI access and sharing.

I DO NOT CONSENT.

Without consent, there is only violence.

I do not consent to fascism, surveillance, people recording without explicit permission, policing, prisons, facial recognition, biometric theft, I CE, borders,

Recording and running people through databases without their consent using Meta Glasses makes you still a glasshole.

If anything, we should be even louder in our resistance, because this is when imperialism becomes operationalized. We keep going. End the siege, end the occupation. Free free Palestine.

Ceasefires, to Empire, are often tactical moves to shift gears to another stage of colonization. This is what is happening in Gaza right now.

Settler colonizer Israel is still
actively attacking, occupying, invading, and targeting Palestinians.

Korea has been under a U.S.-imposed ceasefire for 70 years, and we have been occupied every day since, still.

This includes unlearning individualism and embracing interdependence. It means bending genders, honoring sacred cultural values, and learning to be closer to the land while also letting go of trying to own land.

Decolonize, Indigenize.
Land, body, and mind.

Our fight is to make Indigenous People’s Day every single day.
For this to happen, we must end settler colonialism entirely.

This means toppling Empire, LandBack, and also, defeating the internal colonizer in our minds.

This is a great opportunity to practice using cash. Try buying a few physical OMNY cards with cash and alternate using them. The system makes using cash difficult, so build a practice with one small cash purchase at a time.

The NYC MTA is transitioning to OMNY tap-and-pay cards, rendering swipe cards obsolete by June 2026.

OMNY is notorious for tracking riders through our devices, digital wallets, and credit card top-ups, and the MTA is besties with the NYPD. MTA Surveillance is a given.
