i dunno yall, most things about most things are entirely fubared and in order to actually change any thing we’re gonna have to change quite a lot, including much that we enjoy or appreciate or are emotionally attached to. and most days i dont think most of us are even willing or able to even approach the questions that we desperately need to be finding answers to. we are so propagandized into accepting human designed/built/maintained systems as naturally occurring phenomena that just are, that we dedicate our life energies to maintaining/ strengthening them to our own detriment. we are slaves in the belly of the beast, spinning the cogs and tightening the springs of the megamachine whose function is to enslave all life living into its dead self, that sees every thing that exists as a resource to be consumed. we can blame the pathetic mostly men who aspire to bosshood, who battle each other over control of other people’s time, but its all of us that continue to serve, and it seems that any mechanism within our reach is just that- a mechanism (of the machine) that is able to recuperate even our direct actions against it into strengthening itself. and we argue over which length of which lever, which color of which cog and cant even see the enclosure that we’re trapped inside. or if there even is still an outside..... climbing over each other towards whats been presented as an escape hatch but is really just a more fortified entrenchment- still in, of, and for the machine, and against our selves, life, and community.

snapshot of my shop in the last minute cramming of half finished projects before i stuff it all in a minivan to head to seattle for northwest flow fest. super stoked to see my seattle friends, less stoked to try and be all set up on saturday by a time when i’m usually in the middle of my sleep.
vending at events is where i’ve felt most at home. pre covid. everything is different now. i mean not everything. i still love the people i love and appreciate the people i dont love yet, and i miss hugging yall, but covid aint over despite the social production of ‘the end of the pandemic’ so i’ll still be tryna maintain some space. doesnt mean i’m not happy to see ya
