so much is about to be declared illegal to a population that's been obeying-early all their lives, having grown up inside the panopticon & trained to see advertisers & congresspeople in a positive light.

scary shit

illegalism's time is back

getting connected with the people in your area, meeting people!, is key - after an emergency is not the optimal time

trade niceties early and often with everyone you see, even the ones you don't like! as long as they're not a cop

getting armed and familiar with self defense is crucial

learn systems that don't rely on corporations; don't use public media as a social network.

A lot of energy went into preventing you from forming actual communities, and the consequences have been devastating for all time.

Local physical reality is your beat. Your territory as a large, highly dangerous, unpredictable & high energy animal. Patrol your territory trading niceties with the other animals. Possess the area.

It's life or death stuff now.

the david zwirner gallery and the felix gonzalez torres foundation in the smithsonian removed the descriptive plaque for portrait of ross in la by felix gonzalez-torres. the old plaque explained portrait for ross' origins as the artist's partner's aids related death, and replaced it with a plaque with absolutely no information about the piece itself, who ross was, or who gonzalez-torres was either. portrait of ross was also reeranged to lay on the floor long ways instead of in a pile as it typically is situated, and the plaque outside the exhibition FOR GONZALEZ-TORRES omits his sexuality, as well as his aids related death. i'm in utter disbelief
