  • Where is this non-capitalist utopia you think we should emulate. It can be from anytime in history, when and where is it?

    If that’s a real question and not a gotcha, I strongly recommend the book The Dawn of Everything. The world is and can be more complicated than the choice between various flavors of authoritarianism.

    Personally, I don’t believe in utopia, but I do believe we all deserve an opportunity to exist free of the coercive power of others. The fact that any real community striving for this will be in some way imperfect does not diminish the worthiness of efforts toward that end. We don’t need to emulate some extant utopia, but we might, as individuals and groups, seize the freedom to choose what is best for ourselves in as many ways as we see fit.

    Friendly reminder to everyone: What is pictured in this image is not a molotov, but a self-immolation device that is likely to explode in the hand.

    A molotov, on the other hand, consists of a sealed bottle of fuel with a flaming cloth wrapped around it, which prevents ignition of its contents prior to impact.

    Your decisions are your own, obviously. I don’t know where you live, but in many places, DIY might be your better option for hormones. Given the state of things where I am (U.S.), I honestly regret going ‘legit’ and changing my documents sometimes. For a few hundred dollars, you can acquire everything you need for a lifetime supply of estrogen. This means never having to rely on a doctor or other gatekeeper to allow you to be who you know you are or giving you so little of the hormones you need that you are living in a perpetual state of perimenopause. It does seem scary, but the truth is everyone has unregulated amounts of hormones in their body. Happy to chat more about DIY or trans stuff via DM if you like.

    To directly answer your question, if the standard answers like Folkx or Galileo don’t work for you, you may want to visit some local queer spaces and ask around. Folks who are already navigating this stuff will know what’s around and who’s trustworthy already.

    Also, congratulations!


  • The metadata is really important especially if you or anyone you talk to ends up being targeted. 95% of intelligence work is mapping out adversaries’ communications networks…if you have that, you don’t need to decrypt the contents because you already know who is talking to who. The federation of metadata alone is reason to avoid matrix for anything important.
