  • Someone who hears my accent... "Where are you from?" "Nantes" "Yeah but you have an accent." "I am still from Nantes." "Yeah but where are you really from?" "That's personal information I don't give out to strangers."

    Fuck xenophobic France.

  • For a while, I've been posting on Loops, almost daily till recently. Even though I have a harder time speaking eloquently than writing, I like it because it helps us remember there are people behind all these interactions. But it definitely doesn't get the interaction it does here and I miss being able to talk to other people. So, I need to think about what I want to do for my social media time because I don't think I have the energy for both.

  • I'm an anarchist. And with that I have faith that in the right circumstances, people are generous & solidaire & good & helpful & everything. But oh god damn do I have moments where I'm like "why are you all this oblivious?" I guess it's just not the right circumstances, but come ooooonnnnnn. Help a guy out

    Anyway, reading The Dispossessed is this year's Ecotopia for me. It's my little hopium book

    @fheinderyckx @fschoubben This is probably good for someone already interested but if you give this to your average normie American/French person, they'll be like TL;DR. I'm very interested in this topic and I'll be giving it a read when I have a moment, but it's also possible that I could forget to go back to it. The same is doubly true for someone not really that interested. We have to find resources that are succinct and convincing in the moment because that window to convince is razor thin.

    @implementcontrols Surprisingly (or not?) the few family members I do talk to somewhat regularly haven't made the switch. Guess it wasn't important for them. 🤷 oh well. They know where to find me when they're ready

    @fschoubben @fheinderyckx Here it is. It's in French. The person in question was already sold on why to not use WhatsApp and Messenger but thought SMS was secure so I sent them this. Honestly I think there are maybe better articles out there but here it is anyway numerama.com/tech/1158570-vos-

  • So whatsapp sent me a message about how secure they are right after I set an autoresponse message telling people to find me on Signal. It could be a coincidence, but at this point.... The optics are not great, Meta.

  • Slump (A poem)

    Wind rushing by my ears
    Branches slap my face
    Speed increasing
    As gravity drags me down
    Into its bosom
    Woosh, whack, whiz
    As I wake up
    To a once hidden nightmare.
