mastodon is crumbling, and many blame the fact that it was made entirely out of feta cheese

leading up to the election in 2015 i told a friend i wasn't gonna vote because i was so disillusioned by everything, and he yelled at me and harangued me until i promised to vote, which i did.

that year the constituency i live in swung from the tories to labour and was won by the smallest margin of any constituency in the whole country, a couple of hundred votes or so. one of those times where it's hard not to feel like you're being given a 'sign' or something. that MP is still in office and she's not the greatest MP ever or anything, but she's decent and things would have been worse if we were still tory.

i understand 'electoralism isn't going to save us' arguments in abstract, but not really in practice. we're probably not about to have an armed revolution tomorrow. we have a pretty solid left option. harm reduction is good. please vote. unless you're planning to vote for someone other labour, in which case, please do not vote.

Nailed it.

Favourite cult actors - the FRANCE edition.

Léos Carax left home at age 16 and started watching films at the Cinematheque. Soon he was sneaking in to film classes without ever enrolling or paying tuition fees at the university -- he just followed the courses and the professors he liked, and skipped what was just filler content for the curriculum.

From there, he went on to write film reviews for Cahiers du Cinema. It was only when he met his alter ego, the performer Denis Lavant, that he started to make films himself.

I recently met a professor who had been fired for instigating the occupation of a university building. When I told him I'd been sneaking in to history lessons for the whole winter semester, he looked at me unimpressed, "Well of course, the lecture halls of public universities, especially the large aulas, constitute public space, and that's how we should be treating them. We should be sneaking into classes a lot more."

Favourite cult actors - the FINLAND edition.
When Aki Kaurismaki cast Kati Outinen in The Match Factory Girl, he forgot to tell her she had the lead role.
Kati only found out on the first day of the shoot. And maybe that's where she picked up that ability of hers to be a little bit absent whenever she's in the spotlight. With the air of a wise dreamer who is quietly coming to grips with something weird and startling.

Mais là faut que je partage ça tellement c'est vrai !

learn to code? become a welder instead, a flagger, a plumber, an iron- or steelworker. something with a union. something with training. something with safety standards. something with even the faintest structures for asserting ethics. there’s nothing for you behind software’s glamour but trauma and anguish.

If you really think about it, life as we know it begins with an eviction.
