@Nnedi I've been thinking about this story for months now. Few other stories capture the depravity of this moment. PS. I only came here to see if it's still worth engaging on this hellish platform. And this post was the first one to come up...

PSA. One of the best alternatives to Adobe CC, called Affinity, is on sale through 1/24. Only 100$ one time payment for all three apps (Designer, Photo, Publisher) for Win, Mac, and iOS. It's a steal! #design #UXdesign #Affinity https://t.co/DxZwEHyw1k

Democracy for the sake of elections, instead of elections for the sake of democracy. That's the system we're stuck in.

@AaronHunyady @amandakhurley @ibogost It's not that easy. Sometimes it takes hours to get the verification email.

[Sandjar (@[email protected]) @sandjar]

@inkblurt @mediajunkie @ibogost May be Twitter having so many users IS the problem.

Cats against handouts!

[Jake Flores 🇵🇸🇲🇽 @feraljokes]

Someone once said libertarians are in fact like cats in that they consider themselves to be fiercely independent and autonomous of the safety system that keeps them from dying constantly, of which they are keenly unaware

[Sandjar (@[email protected]) @sandjar]

May be you need to, I don't know..., read some books on the matter.

[Edward Snowden @Snowden]

I've never understood the political fear of Libertarians.

"Sure, they're not in power now, but someday they might take over and... uh, leave you alone, I guess, since that's kind of their whole deal."

It's like being afraid of cats.

[Sandjar (@[email protected]) @sandjar]

Wait. Nobody has thought of doing this until now?

📍An alternative to the traditional gated societies in most metropolitan cities, the proposed 550-metre tall mega structure around the Burj Khalifa will be broken down into smaller units to include the multi-purpose amenities. https://t.co/ygdDu9Jkav

Anyway if you like reading stories about Magic, hackers, love, politics and the Islamic Civilization, check out Alif the Unseen. It's quite a treat.

[Sandjar (@[email protected]) @sandjar]

I don't read fantasy at all, but two people, independently of each other, recommended Alif the Unseen by the brilliant @GWillowWilson. And being a Ms Marvel fan, I didn't need much more convoncing. Just finished it and this text hit me like a ton of bricks. Here are some gems...

On ways of knowing and colonialism: “I think we’re going
back to the way things used to be, before ​a bunch of European intellectuals in tights decided to draw a line between ​what’s rational and what’s not. I don’t think our ancestors thought the ​distinction was necessary.”
