Very outside of what I'd normally post, but a Tiktok just explained the Information model in Models of Magick in a way that made sense to me, and I'm excited about that. So, if that's ever bugged you too, here: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTD8Sg1AE/ (also, the mental image they're painting is hilarious).

I know everything feels terrible and doomy but I've been working on surveillance issues for most of my adult life and I have never seen so much energy, momentum, and concrete VICTORIES happening as what we are seeing right now on Flock cameras and facial recognition in venues.

I've been seeing a lot of security arguments concerning mutual aid. I think many are missing important points for trivial points. One key thing I see people missing is "Need to Know." For example: It doesn't matter /why/ someone needs groceries, it matters /what/ they need. So don't say the why!

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
