#Introduction: Howdy. I'm an author who specializes in #deconstructing #cult tactics, #AbuseCulture, healing #ReligiousTrauma, and #Mormonism. My book #RecoveringAgency deconstructs #Mormon manipulation. I #ghostwrite & #edit part-time for a living. Before that, I worked in #IT from 1996-2011.In 2015 I left my abuser of seven years, and since have been disabled with #PTSD and other chronic conditions, fighting #suicide. I was unable to work at all for five years. My personal narrative now is about recovery out of that #DarkSojourn. I'm usually in some kind of pain, and try not to whine too much about it. I'm #Genderfluid #nonbinary (they/them) of recent transition, #polyamorous, and #bisexual.My interests are wide and varied and I will not remember them all here. I dabble in #infosec, #fiction writing, #philosophy. DXed with #autism circa 2010. #GenX obsessed with the #90s. I love #music, #psychology, and thinking about #culture. Updates as I think of things.

I boost a lot. So if you hate that and only want to see my own toots, you can hide my boosts by going to my profile, click the three dots, and choose "Hide boosts from @corbden".

I made this Solarpunk playlist for times like these. There are two playlists. This is the longer one for shuffling. (The other is short enough for 1-2 listening sessions and tells a mood story in order.)Tracks span the moods from political to apocalyptic, from love of nature to learning to cope, from sentiments of rebellion to outright calls to action, from community building to emotional healing. It is cathartic, sad, hopeful, and inspiring.[2026: I've moved to Apple Music. The Spotify lists are still up but not updated. Including both links.]#solarpunk #USPol #Election2024 #ElectionDay #music https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4gZV3KZeg49zYwABxrFt1lhttps://music.apple.com/us/playlist/solarpunk-abundance/pl.u-KVXBvgBuZqPYl2

Given the data apparatus, now more than ever: Don't say anything online that you wouldn't say directly to a police officer.

We've made the corporate ideology that "innovation will cease if you put rules on us!" so sacrosanct that we're putting the shackles on everyone else instead.They're going to innovate us right into a world-sized forever cult.

@michelestrider I hate how I keep losing track of these things! Mastodon needs a track thread feature that notifies you when new posts are added.

Firing your entire drum section suddenly could have repercussions.

@stux There are very few cases where "You're either with us or against us" is true. This is one because we can demonstrate the mechanism. Fascists will use anything or anyone to get what they want. If you're not actively resisting them, you're at least passively their tool.

@stux And yes, there are fascist tools, those who think they're neutral or who sided with fascists out of ignorance rather than core values, and they can certainly be turned to antifa. There are approaches that do not involve accusing them in order to reach them.But until they're turned, until they stop carrying water for fash, there's nothing wrong with sternly holding them to that when the timing is right. And often, the timing is right, to say hey, you are working against your own values here to help those who would exterminate me. Stop that.

My son is reading Lord of the Rings for the first time and he just stuck his head out the door:"Who the fuck is Tom Bombadil??"
