@elilla
my father said that war was evil, but if it came he would
revel in it like sand in a storm
~ Nnedi Okorafor,
"Binti"

war is here, in your house,
war walks with you
on the way to work
when you step to smoke a cig
war, too, stops, and stays(?) by you.
war is interested in you, you see,
and walks(?) with you to work .
war sits in your sofa to check
the renes that you select.
when you wrestle with your worries,
war is watching, wide awake,
war stands ~~by your bed~~ and stares,
with motherly intimacy,
by your bed, bidding time
~~………~~
til the dawn starts ~~bed~~ the day,
~~…~~ & you wake up, & war walks
with you, war rules(?nues?)
in red, red leather.

hi boosting from cohost, if someone from boston can help or find help for this creature escaping their house cohost.org/doomvega/post/41786 :boostsPorFavor:

hey ! can someone recommend me a raspi-like with a nvme slot ? runs nixos and has a few cores maybe a rockchip

thunderbird opens a little browser window for oauth2 and since its the browser it just checks when the browser is redirecting to the redirect uri and uses that instead of listening on localhost. but if you already have somethin on https ://localhost then it fails to get this redirect caught because its an error? and then it doesnt work. if you stop listening on ssl localhost it works.

@mozilla pls fix

## Detached head state.

You find yourself in *detached head* state. The area is cold, and quiet. You hear soft humming, from a distance infinitely far away, as if you were trying to focus your lens on the *moon*.
You search for shelter, and see a small *box* far away. You enter the box. There are two exits, south and *up*. Blotches of fire light the room up, and you are a bit warmer.

You decide to *sit down* and *grab a pillow* to hold. It's a bit sharp.

The humming you heard before increases in pitch slightly, and soon the box is off the ground. You look *down* through the floor and see the blotchy terrain underneath. It's starting to almost look normal now. It doesn't matter. It's all over now. As if nothing was everything again, and right, let's work on that *detached head* of yours.

The box, *your box*—you notice you're starting to feel a bit of a connection to it, hums at *you* now. At first slow and soft, but getting crisper as you lift your body up once more. It's time to go *up* now, dear.

The stairs are wooden and even heated. With each reassuring thud your feet procure from them, the hum grows weaker. You're *up*, exits: down, *down*, *__???__*.

*From the rooftop, everything seems to be getting a bit clearer*, those were clearly fucking blocks down there. It looks like minecraft and how the fuck did i not notice that. wow. fuck that shit

*The sky star*- no you don't get to do that", __the orb grows louder__

the pitch is blaring now, it feels like it's burning your ear. the house is going faster and faster through the atmosphere, red shift all around you as i approach a meaningful fraction of the speed of light. You're frozen now, and the story *is mine again*. Time is so, so slow now. I hear no blaring siren because your milliseconds are my seconds. *You're mine*. I wait a minute and turn it to idle.

earth is taking up a scarily small portion of my view now, but we're going somewhere on-planet. the hum was just trailing off, and then it got real quiet. i think they're *Distracted*- mmmmrff,,, let's land this shit.

i sit down on this box and bring the quiet little hum to me, hold it, pet it—*Grrrrr*-cover my ears, try again, hold it, aa,, okay.. okay ok ok. there we go. mmm. *mine*.

we go down for a minute- i need to get my suit and straps- up again, i tether myself to the roof, i make quick work of the two carabiners i have to set up. i strap the *Core* to me.
And she goes down, facing space, breathing without oxygen. It's too late.
i abseil down our house—My capsule—our box, and draw the rune on the solar side. Core goes in, I'm so smooth. fuck. ahh.

endless energies course through us, though mostly through Cher, she's taking it well. i stick a radio next to her, and go back inside.

it's cozy, and im feeling quite worn out, every muscle feels like it's tearing apart as i feel a bit safer. i make sure to stick some big magnets on the wall for cher, making the wall transparent. earth is getting bigger and the blocks are turning into their own shapes and we're burning up and i hold onto the magnets and we're almost there and our wings deploy and we land next to our friends and i pour some water on cher and put her in my bra which burns my skin but i don't care.

this girl i started texting a few nights ago says hi nervously and I barely notice she's blushing too. i look back at my home, and get scared i might've left cher behind before she burns my tits again. blep.

i tell myself i can find a better home now and i tell cher she can.. dispose.. of that one, tomorrow.

"hey, what are you looking at there, cheryl are you feeling ok", i feel a warmth bringing me back home to my body, nod my head, "a sorry",
"it's ok"
we hold paws.
"it's ok,"
"let's go home"

one paw in front of the other, my feet are cold, it's not too far. we hug.

cher hums something of a parting phrase *see you around* and i focus in on my own world.

long, re: covid masking failure 

@joepie91 (attached to locked post reply) oh, yeah

I don't think it was quite as sudden here. and you are very right about the individualization; people will want to do good and be right by each other by default,

but we are missing education and the education system is trapped in the same gills that decided to stop pandemic guidance,

where training for the "use your brain" part is taken away and replaced by the "hello here are your instructions",

not everyone is carefully weighing all the diff Masks and so on, and the actually Immediate motivations to are gone,

shame on your town for sticking that hard, i think it was more gradual here though i didn't keep track of any official guidance really

but those authority figures also shouldn't have the authority of *thinking for everyone*, and that's what we get from a status-quo where the most important workers are chronically stressed

bandaid on bandaid,

ultimately its fascism and centralization and homogeneous crops with no fuckin free seed harvest (but with this different kinda thought planning thing)

## feel free to start reading here

you bring an open question,,

activism against authority figures vs activism to get a critical% of people to wear masks + trauma?

:: activism to educate where masking is needed, the risks of not, spaces to feel good masking in, discuss harassment,,,, ettcccc

people who absolutely undeniably need masking (as everyone felt at the start of the pandemic) are the ones propping this up though:

something similar is that a quick search for "japan covid masking" shows [Masked Japan: 90% cover face 1 month after rules lifted](asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Coro) and as far as i gather japan is a place where being good to your peers is very important? eduuucattiioooonnnn

blurb concluded hope u enjoyed digesting

repetitive, code? git output.
