I'm getting so much done that I wouldn't have if I were stuck in the office. I started ~ 200 seeds on Thursday. Already have quite a few sprouting. Biggest win so far has been cherry seeds from a native cherry tree about a mile from my house.

Reply to comment by An_Old_Big_Tree in What do ya'll think of platformism or platforming? Is it something you condone? Practice? by existential1
You're right as far social insertionism, that's what I was really talking about I guess. There's a group not-to-be named that has that as a major element of their work since they don't expect to every be large themselves. And that idea seems a little intellectual vanguard-ish to me.
On the other hand, I get why someone who has read more theory or has had more experience would want to guide others along...it just seems very toxic to engage with others under the idea that you're going to drive them more towards your ideas instead of that happening organically. It strikes as a form of proselytizing, which I disagree with in nearly all forms.

I do in the sense of having a particular experience attributed to my locality and descendance. Combine those two and you get locaility (US) and descendance (African: former slave).
Growing up, I would have considered myself a person from my area of my state more than from the US as a whole, though. That was something that used to give me pride when I was young because of the particular experiences my community made it through.
I don't view nationality as much of a real issue in isolation so much as what it means in relation to other things. I view religion in the same way.

I can't find the Kobo mini on their site. I'm guessing it's out of production.

I have the kindle paperwhite, which seems to be the same genre of reader as the clara hd. I think I'll try that one.

Honestly if Incouldnget paid to do it, I would train for 5 years to be a hacker and super soldier just to assassinate Erick Prince. Aint nobody paying a living wage for that though. So nevermind.

I'm gonna have to check this out. I normally don't watch shows that are like 80%+ white, but it seems interesting enough.
