nothing to see here, just an innocent patch of coral 

haha WOBBEGONG'D

Two US Army APC's leaving the Ajo border patrol station headed south this morning. First I've seen of the military here near the border. These appeared to be Stryker M1127 Reconnaissance Vehicles based on my best Wikipedia guess.

I regretfully have to head north for a few months this morning or I would have followed them down and gotten some shots of them driving around doing nothing along the border wall.

Because there's literally nothing to do there. This is all a silly photo op and part of the larger performance of border theater. I even feel a little bad posting photos here because, in my own insignificant way, it plays to the narrative. I mean, if the army is there with all this hardware, then there must be a problem, right?

I hope these guys don't get too bored and start driving these things across the desert smashing over saguaro cactus the way the national guard did when they were here back around 2008.

The #microbiology society has a very curious system. So there are eukaryotes, prokaryots, viruses and Irish, do I get it right?

Friends, I don’t know how to explain this any more simply: there can be no such thing as an anarchist prison.

Either there is some coercive institution with a privileged relationship to violence that can put you in a cage, or there isn’t.

Prisons are not some neutral tool that could theoretically be used by a community for self-defense from aggressors, but just so happen to be used everywhere by states as tools of oppressive rule.

They *are* oppressive rule.

“But how will we deal with murderers and rapists without prisons” THEY DON’T DO THAT NOW

I think that oblivion what mastered enough the first time.

This ‘Elon leaving politics’ story is such bullshit. Another example of the media being stenographers instead of reporting. Musk is seeding this story in order to try to stem the hemorrhaging at Tesla. He’s already said that he will ‘have to’ remain involved with DOGE to stop the ‘massive fraud and waste’ he’s uncovered from coming ‘rushing back’ the second he leaves.

Stop repeating his lies.

As a non-binary person, I've long believed that equality laws are flawed to begin with, because my own existence wasn't recognised.

Now I plan to fight.

One day, I will have passed what I call the Gender Nullification Act, which will erase all legal distinction of sex or gender, recognising only medical differences.

We will not have separation of the genders, or sexes. We will recognise the intellectual, creative and personal freedoms deserved by everyone.

Intersex people will be recognised.
