#it shouldn’t be this hard

[placeinthemiddleofnowhere]

Does anyone else struggle to leave the house when they have no social obligations? 😂 Sometimes I feel like I’m coaxing out an old dog when I set out to go on a walk and I just can’t seem to get the motivation to leave even when I want to

I want a someone to do all the blogs that we’ve had to unfollow for antisemitism and misinfo but with the disclaimer “misinformation and antisemitism free” and for all of us to follow them.

Just to heritage posts and one time I dreamt and all those other blogs that used to be good but without the antisemitism or any reference to politics. Everyone, pick a blog and do it but without the hatred! #instantfollow

Sometimes writing is a beautiful and liberating balm for your soul. It soothes and relaxes you. All stress is poured out onto the page in a gently flowing catharsis.

Other times writing is like having your teeth pulled out one by one by a 19th century dentist without anesthesia

I’m not even close to the first person to say this, but technology is getting worse at a frightening rate. It’s gussied up to look better, with fancy graphics and touch screens where user interfaces should go, but I have less and less interactions with technology that don’t end with me frustrated or disgusted. 

Most recently, I had to get a new laptop and it camed prepackaged with Windows 11. Just like anyone else with any sense I’ve been putting off upgrading from ten for months and while I have a good copy of 10 to downgrade to, I just wanted to hop on and start getting some shit done.

Motherfuckers blocked me from running ninite. Not just that, the default is to block any software that doesn’t come from the Microsoft store. The corporations who create technology aren’t just trying to sand off rough edges, they’re trying to flatten everything into a single flat plane and leaving nothing but sawdust behind. 

I know that I could downgrade, or switch to linux or whatever, but that feels like a temporary solution at this point. This is happening everywhere. With Twitter crumbling and facebook blocking ill defined “sensitive” content without recourse, it feels like online habitats are undergoing deforestation. You have to go farther and farther afield to access functionality that was basic and low hanging ten years ago.  How the hell does progress look like walling us all into smaller and smaller walled gardens?

I have no idea how to fix any of this. It feels very much beyond individual action, but I don’t even know how you would organize anything collective to stop it. It just sits on my mind, filling me with despair along with the Canadian smoke darkening the skies, and the resurgent fascism cropping up the world over. 

I wish I could have hope that things will get better, but my entire life has been a confluence of ineptitude, malevolence and commercial interests making things worse. Technology sucks, and just like everything else, it makes me sad.

I wish I could go back in time and abort me in my moms belly. If I was really wishing I’d wish for Italy in 1930s to occupy just a little longer May have been able to colonize the fucking country been a nice better future for my mom and her family. Buuuut noooooo Mussolini got punked by thee incel and nazis and war and genocide and the carving and raping of ppls and countries by European terrorists ruined everything. Let the commies in and destroy everything and ppl had to flee home nations flee continents marry and have babies with the weakest links of humanity just to move to western nations and repeat the fuckery the familial obligations the societal structure the it doesn’t matter it’s done.

This is a friendly reminder that you can support Palestine and Jewish people at the same time. I am absolutely by no means an expert, but…

It is absolutely free Palestine, 150%

The two aren’t mutually exclusive, and Judaism is notttt Zionism. They do get unfairly twisted together, but they are not the same.

You can be for Palestine and call out antisemitism, both at once. You can do both and be against the Israeli government.

Israel has been ILLEGALLY occupying and trying to ethnically cleanse Palestine for decades, that is the issue.
