There's a pervasive liberal myth that the powerful care, or even want to know, what we think. It's the same thought process behind sidewalk protests, because the thing that *really* causes change is witty slogans on posterboard

These things have *never* worked, yet people still believe that all we need is a few more signatures and a few more protestors and then they'll crack. Why should they?

The only language the ruling class speaks is force. If you don't make it more damaging for them to keep up than to relent to you, they won't give a fuck

I sit on my chair, tired. files littering my desk. the chief comes over with a coffee, worried. "you should just drop this, morgan" he says. "cases go cold for a reason. they're gone". I take the coffee and down half of it in a single gulp. "no". I take a file, pin it to my corkboard. "i'll find them". dozens of strings and pictures and articles are pinned across my corkboard. in the middle, written in bright red marker, an equation, and my objective: "Find X"

I'm at the point where I'm seeing decentralization and community control of production as less of a means to slowly move away from capitalism, and more of a crucial effort to ensure our communities' survival when capitalism inevitably and imminently collapses

Once you pay attention, you start to notice that once the 18-wheelers stop coming, most of us are fucked. Especially now, when most of our possessions are designed to be ephemeral to force us to regularly replenish them

You can't rely on the internet to always give you that information once you need it. You need not only the knowledge, but the experience to keep things running after our lifelines are cut. We need DIY culture and local infrastructure now

in abstract algebra, a *ring* is an algebraic structure that spins me right round baby right round like a record baby right round round round

Lazy and tired are used interchangeably imho and that's bad. So much of so called laziness is tiredness

does anyone have decent resources for being a not-shitty tutor? i've picked up a couple gigs teaching maths to some bright kids and i don't want to fuck it up but all the books on teaching I've found have a lot to say about managing class behaviour, which isn't . . . really an issue
