This is what I've been working on all summer. It's my first book, called Escape Velocity: Explorations of Digital Culture and its Discontents 2019-2024. It's partially a retrospective of my time doing No Escape but it also features multiple revisions of old work and five entirely new essays.

"basic feminist aspirations would require a radical overhaul of society and the worldwide reactionary backlash is driven in large part by the gains of feminism in the last 60 years"
Okay so the only problem with metoo was it didnt go far enough, in light of the file drop
Though tbh now i think a lot of the stuff that people claimed was too far especially what was associated with MeToo now seems super reasonable as the MeToo reaction explicitly morphs into a pro-rape and pro-harassment faction

I can’t believe (I can) that real life’s supervillain was a functionally illiterate pedophile who had a pathological need for famous people to like him

i also tweeted at him about this photo; he replied to me claiming he did not know Ghislaine and that he was only at the same Vanity Fair party as her because of his partner at the time, actress Tallulah Riley. those tweets have also been deleted from my account, not by me.

i logged into my X account to retrieve my old tweets questioning him about Epstein and Maxwell, and found this: I 100% promise you I did not delete these tweets myself.

I feel like a lot of people are going to use the moment we're in, these new files that have come out that link Epstein to chuds like Moot, to be like "the internet was a mistake and anyone who believed in it was a fool."
I would offer an alternative: our enemy, namely capital, is the same as ever.

I do love that one of your social links in Harvestella genuinely wants nothing to do with you and is only putting up with your prodding because he stands to make money

I'm one of the people who got him to delete the old politics board, I'm not sure I feel about finding out I got overridden by fucking epstein
So apparently I was right to shittalk m00t this week because it's been revealed that his boneheaded decision to establish /pol/ and subsequently ruin the website was allegedly born out of a one-on-one meeting with Jeffery Epstein.

so much of Harvestella is just your character listening to kids, and respecting kids' choices and opinions, and being an advocate for kids. seeing kids as people, in other words.

Hey yall. As you've seen here - unfortunately a large portion of the ivy road team was laid off today, myself included. We're all looking for work! Gonna do a quick thread about those who were laid off today and why you should hire them:
While we've gotten affirming feedback on Engine Angel, pitching unfortunately hasn't been successful. As a result, we've had to make the hard decision to lay off five team members. Each of these devs are incredible: if you have a place on your team, or know someone hiring, please keep them in mind!⬇

the only opsec thoughts I will share on the timeline are: everyone’s needs vary because people face different risks. feel free to ignore anyone telling you there’s only one way, and take a little time to threat model your own situation. more here: freedom.press/digisec/blog...

Just to put some good news on the timeline, Oklahoma City residents came out in force and got the City Council and the Mayor to stop going forward with a contract to let ICE build a detention center in a southside warehouse.
