Court Cantrell does not complyDonald Trump is nothing but the temporary president.
He will never be anything other than temporary.
When everything feels overwhelming, it's important that we remember this: Donald Trump is nothing but temporary.

Court Cantrell does not complyThis Is Just To Say
they have stolen
the democracy
that was in
your government
and which
you were probably
counting on
for survival
Don't forgive them
they are fascist ass-pastries
so repulsive
and so cowardly
Court Cantrell does not complyDon't do what they tell you to.
Don't do what you think they're going to tell you to.
Find reasons to delay.
Find reasons why "it won't work."
Do it slightly wrong, just enough to make it almost work but not.
Do it half-assed in a way that makes it look like you're actually putting in your full effort.
When they want something, make that thing mysteriously disappear.
Smile, nod, ignore.
For the love of all that's good and true and right in this universe, BE FUCKING UNGOVERNABLE.

THE OTHER SIDE
by Brother James (Justin Sinclair)
What if when you were a baby
You were born to the wrong side?
And you were taught the other story
The other people's harmful lies
But what if every time you questioned
They warned you "get back into line"
Would you ever search for wisdom?
--Or accept that they were right?
Do you think you would be brave enough
To seek out what was true

Court Cantrell does not complyThe goal of the companies who run AIs is to
1. get us all to use AI until the point where
2. we're dependent on AI, then
3. remove all access to AI and
4. grant the privilege of use only to those who pay a monthly fee,
5. which will periodically rise
6. while the service becomes worse and worse.
It'll be enshittification of enshittification.

Court Cantrell does not comply...If something happens that I can actually do something about, I'll hear about it through the people closest to me. But for my own mental and emotional health, I have to stop doomscrolling.
But Courtney, you ask, can't you avoid doomscrolling but still keep aware of daily headlines?
No, not really. I've tried that, and it doesn't work. Blame addictive tendencies, blame a sick form of escapism, blame whatever. It results in an all-or-nothing I can't seem to break out of.

Court Cantrell does not complyI'm taking care of my yard. My gate is closed to the autocrats, oligarchs, fascists, and supporters thereof. My gate is open to anyone who needs refuge from any of those.
In the meantime, I'm tending my yard and adhering to the Spider Robinson Principle:
"Shared pain is lessened; shared joy, increased--thus do we refute entropy."
I'll still be here. But expect a lot more book stuff, writing stuff, reading stuff, and cats.
Love you, fedizens. 🫶

Court Cantrell does not complyWell, I've been mostly not paying attention to "news" for the past two weeks -- one because I was busy with book-publishing, two because I felt so much better emotionally as a result of not doomscrolling.
Over the past 2 days, I've checked back in with the collapse of civilization and see that it is continuing at a breakneck pace, just as expected.
I think I'm done for the foreseeable future. I'm done reading about it all, I'm done doomscrolling about it.
