A SalvagePunk Manifesto

"SalvagePunk Manifesto"

By Hechatonchires 

We demand that materials classified as garbage by the corporatist settler class become property of the people, to do and survive on with as they are able to store, modify or enhance at will! 

The old digital world is dead! We are a free tribe of human persons without any need for permanent homes, property or devices! 

We freely reject the corporatist mandate to destroy our precious Earth when humans can live freely, peacefully and completely on the waste and excess corporatism produces! 

Finally, we recognize no government, religion or self and enshrine the right to assemble and create at will for as long as we all shall live! May the Earth know our pilgrimage in time and finally know peace!

"Freedom is breath! Money is a lie! Work confines and exploits! For this day, and every day, lay down your slavery and follow us to the future!"

"Jennifer Walencek (at the old Polish Deli)"

 

"At the Polish deli"

 

They don't quite know what to make of her

at the old Polish deli?

 

At age thirteen, it was black, gloss nail polish?

and punk rock records by the Clash

 

At fourteen, steel toed boots and her first

boyfriend, the Jewish kid from Wilmette.

 

Mostly, she ignored them when they shook

their heads, smiled and wondered

"Ain't that Bill Walencek's youngest girl?"

"What happened? What happened?"

 

At fifteen, she stopped going to church

then she tried a few different ones.

 

Finally, sixteen, her first year at Brandeis

she came home speaking six different languages

 

She can't buy beer yet, but now she doesn't

mind running errands for her Papa anymore.

"Passed On"

 

"Passed On"

 

The gardener found her floating in the indoor pool

dressed in her ballroom gown at the house in Hinsdale, Illinois.

 

The cops ruled it suicide by overdose

empty pill bottles in the hallway

and a trail of brown rose petals

leading to what she called the "lanai."

 

Her cousin found her oncologist's email

on her laptop

sitting on the credenza, saying

the cancer had come back.

 

What do you say? What do you say?

She's passed on. She's passed on.

Everybody, say Hi to Scott

 He's been at the Lisle, Naperville border doing his thing for over a decade now.

Getting settings fixed on this app for age verification is basically broken. No wonder it's abandonware?

Joke?

Test 2

See how this looks. A highlight from my trip out to Lakeview. #Ch1cago

Setting Up.

Just playing with the app interface and testing a few things. This is what jottit could have been had Aaron Swartz lived?

#nocompromise #quality #noregret

a evolving city

Life, letting go, renewal care, attention. These are what we can build. Situationism. Meaning. Truth. Democracy for the least favored?
