NYPD are in DC to support the US Capitol Police in managing the perimeter. Gave all the anti-occupation/apartheid/genocide demonstrators I saw out honks and raised fists of solidarity.

Far up the river, 22 years ago, daydreaming and looking out the window “that’s not how you land at Albany,” or a thought to that effect.
Well it wasn’t where it landed.
I will not forget that, and all the hell that ensued that day and for decades to come. It isn’t over.

My own identity is federated (as well as idle or abandoned and isolated) across many networks and platforms. I feel like some sort of social web equivalent of a vector analysis diagram might reveal a true center, or destination I suppose. Some notional node between the nodes.
