A side profile of a stocky and pensive nobleman. He is wearing a yellowish gambeson under brown lamellar armour. With both hands he holds a sword by its grip and hilt, the blade pointing down. A border woven from wheat and thorny stemmed flowers is meant to be reminiscent of an illuminated manuscript. Stylized text near the bottom reads The Fate of Lenn. Below the title text, in smaller font, the author name reads Dylan Madeley. On a rich black background, a longsword stands on its point in front of a cluster of wheat. Title text at the top reads The Redemption of Jarek. Author name at the bottom reads Dylan Madeley.

We should talk more about how getting through this is going to involve rebuilding most of our information institutions completely from the ground up (at the very least news media/journalism, universities, and the entire technology sector; libraries seem fine). Whole scale capture by disinformation.

So don't let people tell you that your presence and visibility aren't doing anything. There's plenty to do but showing up is one of those things.

In hindsight, they didn't even do much despite outnumbering us until that spark figure showed up to light their powder keg. But from other experiences, even the spark figure is nothing against having sufficient numbers.

And the one thing that would have truly defused the situation is literally a bunch of people joining us with placards. Because these kinds of agitators will call and hide behind cops the moment they are outnumbered, but they love a fight they imagine they can win. Numbers dictated the situation.

I am ill-suited to jump into discourse at any time, but I'm thinking back to an evening where a gang of racist agitators outnumbered my crew and I spent moments wondering if I would die just for standing on the sidewalk and holding up my side of a banner.

presumes our consent by default. "Men always want it!" "They won't ever say no!"

So any man who says "no" is seen as faulty. He is mistrusted. He is shallow or secretly gay. If we're partnered, the knee jerk reaction is "he's getting it elsewhere"

Men's voices are often overlooked in this community. I write about my own experiences to show other men out there who are ace/demi or think they might be ace/demi, that they are not alone. They are not broken or weird for not feeling what the men around them seem to feel.

It's big Trump protest day so that means we are mere hours away from my least favorite Bluesky: the Russian disinfo surge.

Here's how it works, and what you can do about it. 🧵

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.

Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights.
Block, and move on.

This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

Same shit here: think the protest is a waste of time? Ok, fine, join a community patrol. Make coffee and pass out care packages to the unhoused. Door knock for the local candidate that promises to do smthg about ICE. Help a frutero with an extra 200% tip. So on and so on

Seems like a day for a walk by the waterfront. Cool but not yet cold, bright and no precipitation. Light jacket weather. I need to do something for sure.
