@x4nw that's what 'computer people /derogatory' is about i think. and yea
we've been viewing it on a somewhat-different-but-ultimately-similar abstraction lately:

- there's our industrial-era society backed by late-stage capitalism, cold hard math eventually kills people's values: this is why we have 'productivity' and psych 'mental disorders' (these occur with any rigid enough system, autism is not a bug and serves a purpose in a mindful society. about the same with adhd)

- and there is the new world struggling to be born, or at least the anarchoqueer's version of it; stare at plant for 3h50m, go for walkies, etc

computer touching is a mishmash of both; most of us don't live in nature as we likely would in the post-collapse world, but we're still trying to make this world fit what we want with what we do. look at hackerspaces and ccc events, look at (non-assimilationist) pride protests

its not about limited time for us,
we haven't watched the clock tick by ever since we escaped school (or even work) and took control of our lives and took our shape of gender from them

we are like - a flower blooming - an early trans person putting on their first ${clothing_item}, a kid who has yet to grok the depth of the world we are transitioning to

a hope we still hold onto even when we know climate collapse is so close
a dream that we try to repress until we can't ignore it anymore and we do it anyway
a dream that likely puts us in an AGAB's prison and so on

so we don't do it. but we still daydream when it's not going so well, and it hasn't been going well for a long time

it's okay to dream a little. it's okay to learn from your dreams, it's good to learn from your dreams, it's good to help others, even if it doesn't make sense because 'time is money' — in our dream, time is not money.

time does not move linearly. memories do not record everything in the same depth;

i know every touch in my favorite moments, my first time seeing that yes, there are other queer people and they are real and touchable in the physical realm and struggling and imperfect just like me

- do things you'll remember,
[physically prepare of course, but pausing everything you love to wait for collapse isn't very self-loving.]

- it's not fair to present-you to not enjoy themselves just so future-you [maybe] can.

thank u 4 reading <3
