i fw something cool

yea absolutely, scuffed ass use-case that shouldn’t demand any attention or support. niche overlap of ppl trying to create funky atproto records that also are stuck away from a proper computer 9 hours a day

honestly my main crit is that editing records on mobile is annoying because selecting/pasting/deleting text is hard but thats not really a you problem

help i can’t disconnect and my phone is on fire

/hj i just close the tab

albums i like but can't recommend because they promote epistemology

felt

wait watch this

idk if it’s ever really gone away, i saw it when the feature dropped too. i don’t dm on bsky much tho

lmfaoooooooooooooooo yeag

hm maybe i’d have to see the context of what inspired this post but i feel like the wack thing there would be the chrome endorsement, and that ff could still matter

oooh let’s test editing the quote

nice it worked lovely

being realistic by demanding the impossible by rossi covers this more explicitly, tho obvi footnotes to geuss

and what’s with this premature appeal to feasibility? what’s “realistic” to convince people of now not later is precisely part of the issue i’m talking about. glad you agree that revolutionary change is more difficult than appealing to established values

realized i like the other “feasibility” post more than this one

dislike the thought process

you can tell a lot about someone's politics from which contexts and what level of abstraction they impose feasibility constraints

not to say that ppl necessarily should soy out over firefox - just that this approach can basically arbitrarily justify anything bad as long as what is interpreted as the realistic alternative is worse

pretty sure i’ve gained some weight but im not gonna let that awareness affect the danii trip

hard to tell because e of course

successfully resisted weighing myself, i’ve gotten better at this shit

i cite my sources, even in dms

for a while the top left panel was my pfp

Por cierto Kyler te iba a preguntar ¿tu foto es de Puck?

it's not Puck, but it is from Berserk! Lost Children arc (vol15, chap102, p57)

this short relationship was cute, they sent me noise music and we translated each others messages

for a while the top left panel was my pfp

not quite horny but i liked that it was hidden horrific

ur smile 🥺

i normally don’t like natural light at all, but i’m surprisingly really content rn

not expressed in exactly the same way, but i felt this a lot when i was there too

willowFeb 8, 2025

i feel close to you

quite the memorable post (doesn’t hurt that julie puts it back on my timeline every month lol)

also not to be that guy but: not being able to find an important post… sounds like you should try pinboards.jeroba.xyz

this one?

been thinking about online disagreement lately and i've arrived at the unfortunate conclusion that it's contextual and conditions for positively evaluating a particular method of engagement are not antecedently specifiable

i will say however that my reflection was spurred by being impressed with the futility in certain adversarial interactions and wishing that people took advantage of more creative and indirect methods.

it’s fine to disagree and even argue with your friends, and yes publicly! it’s lubricant for thought and good for the soul

on the other hand, i've had a number of thoughtful and expository engagements lately that felt appropriate and kind. and further still, i still maintain that there are plenty of occasions where overt confrontation is beneficial:

willowNov 30, 2024

to defend indirect engagement for a moment: partly it's because i think squabbling can sometimes preclude the full expression and development of one's own perspective, and partially it's a matter of some positions best being best expressed in the tone "try thinking of it this way"

richard rorty, contingency, irony, solidarity, pg. 9
This sort of philosophy does not work piece by piece, analyzing concept 11fter concept, or testing thesis after thesis. Rather, it works holistically and pragmatically. It says things like "try thinking of it this way" - or more specifically, "try to ignore the apparently futile traditional questions by substituting the following new and possibly interesting questions." It does not pretend to have a better candidate for doing the same old things which we did when we spoke in the old way. Rather, it suggests that we might want to stop doing those things and do something else. But it does not argue for this suggestion on the basis of antecedent criteria common to the old and the new language games. For just insofar as the new language really is new, there will be no such criteria. Conforming to my own precepts, I am not going to offer arguments against the vocabulary I want to replace. Instead, I am going to try to make the vocabulary I favor look attractive by showing how it may be u11ed to describe a variety of topics

over the years i've also become increasingly impressed with all the ways in which i can harm those i care for during the heat of passion. i've won plenty of arguments that have lost me plenty of friends, and i can tell you which constituent i recall more vividly.

retweeting is me saying i love you for your autistic tendencies with an exclamation point

@dreary.bsky.socialMar 2, 2025

all good things! shouldn't have been intimidated

@dreary.bsky.socialMar 2, 2025

jonas was very very right about something, but by necessity i must remain silent about it

@dreary.bsky.socialMar 2, 2025

i should have done this forever ago!

she's doing this

i didn't think i'd make it this far

marx's value theory is not trying to establish an operational standard for price at all, it's explaining the process of equalization of different forms of labor that actually take place

https://x.com/PoliticsWillow/status/1832259354587783168
marx, capital volume 1, pg 197
If the conditions of production, or the productivity oflabour, remain constant, the same amount of social labour-time must be expended on the reproduction of a quarter of wheat, both before and after the change in price. This situation is not dependent either on the will of the wheat producer or on that of the owners of the other commodities. The magnitude of the value of a commodity therefore expresses a necessary relation to social labour-time which is inherent in the proces by which its value is created. With the transformation of the magnitude of value into the price this necessary relation appears as the exchange-ratio between a single commodity and the money commodity which exists outside it. This relation, however, may express both the magnitude of value of the commodity and the greater or lesser quantity of money for which it can be sold under the given circumstances. The possibility, therefore, of a quantitative incongruity between price and magnitude of value, i.e. the possibility that the price may diverge from the magnitude of value, is inherent in the price-form itself. This is not a defect, but, on the contrary, it makes this form the adequate one for a mode of production whose laws can only assert themselves as blindly operating averages between constant irregularities.
The price-form, however, is not only compatible with the possibility of a quantitative incongruity between magnitude of value and price, i.e. between the magnitude of value and its own expression in money, but it may also harbour a qualitative contradiction, with the result that price ceases altogether to express value, despite the fact that money is nothing but the value-form of commodities.
