"this website uses cookies" fucking why. i wish we hadn't named it that, so cheap and unthreatening. a cookie can be anything from a single data point to actively tracking your usage throughout websites. and if you try to research it, you overwhelmingly get (ad-placed) cheery and chipper responses that "cookies are useful data tools that help websites to help you!"

one article suggests cookies allow for "more personalized websites." i do not want them to know how to personalize their website for me. what they really mean is "make this website better for advertisers." they are not going to turn the website a nice shade of my favorite color. they are going to put ads up they think i like. so it's not for me.

okay sure. it makes shopping easier! okay, great. spend money more! happy advertiser. but then why the fuck when you google how long cooked chicken good for are they skimming your data. why when you google can my dog eat tomatoes are they skimming your data. why does mixing bleach and vinegar bad? require someone skimming your data.

so now you slog through AI responses because sometimes the AI tells you no worries! cooked chicken can never go bad and all dogs go to heaven. something about this feels like being 13 before google was really-a-thing when you had to be kind of clever about how you used Ask Jeeves. what is even the point anymore. half of these sites are not written with human hands anymore. we are creating an infinite digital graveyard in order to give advertisers more space, more billboards.

you have to find the first reputable-looking site in a list of GORP.COM/HEALTH. and when you click the first thing it says is can i skim your data? and meanwhile yes bleach and vinegar bad, you've made chlorine gas.

and meanwhile! yes! the infinite digital graveyard. the internet turned into a true highway: devoid of life. endless paved monotony. the exit sign blinking - this website uses cookies.

We are what is

How does anyone find anything in themselves but numb rage and disgust at the world?

The rat chase

Hellscape

Pre-apocalyptic heap

Of highly volatile animalism

And cheap commodity

All which burns, ferments, foments

So so easily

The end is inevitable

What rises will dictate a hundred years

A thousand

Or only 20

Or 10

Or 8

Or 4

No.

Not 4

Nor 8

Nor 20

Maybe 40

Maybe 90

Maybe millennia

Maybe until the end of all we know

Maybe we have a chance to define

Some culture some practice for reflection

That we may always navigate change more smoothly

Or at least, devise a system that forces us to examine ourselves

Before we can place those moods and beliefs upon others

What we need are not laws

Not rigid leaders

With rigid systems

Not prisons

Not enforcement of some

Abstract belief guided by anything

Other than community

Community of self

And community of all

That’s it

No city

No country

No region

No matter anything else

Self

And all

All others. All things.

All is the only other community that matters

Maybe then we can heal ourselves

And learn to sit with challenge

And strife

And pain

So that we may all know what we are working to minimize for all

While also knowing that some amount is inevitable

Not always necessary, but inevitable all the same

What is necessary to sustain

Can be decided by ourselves

To some degree

Though never as much as we’d like

That’s the inherent evil of life

It’s not evil at all

It’s a guide for learning if only

If only we would all see that

Otherwise it’s just a source of pain

And angst and suffering

And death

We find find a level of collective discomfort

Collective discomfort with the wrong things

With class

With echelons of society

With arbitrary differentiations

So we find collective comfort

Collective comfort

Collective comfort in community

At any scale

Collective ability to communicate

Collective wellbeing as the first and highest directive

But not to rule all

Only ever to guide

Life is complex

But complex can never

Never be a guise against intelligence

Complex must be the reason we learn always

At some rate without going backwards

Hopefully

Not like now

Or maybe now was inevitable too

Maybe now is a fixed point

A canon event

The only path

Maybe

But how we emerge is still up to us

To everyone

To the dismantling of the structures that choke

Collective community of all

In favor of few

We must all aspire to all

Not everything but everyone

Everyone

We are all everything

And that’s it

All of us

All of us

All of us
