Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

i am just going to say it, if you are transgender. please start doing DIY hormones and stockpile if you can. or at least find access for DIY estrogen and connect with those who provide that for communities. get as much as you can.
FYI: this can be a felony and you might end up in jail if you get caught, so weigh your options.

community spaces. solidarity networks. free clinics. mutual aid. community kitchens. community clothes closets. solidarity funds. give-away shops. filesharing. community servers. tenant unions. sit-ins. disobedience.
humans are a communal species. we thrive when we're together.
building a healthy community is more radical and more effective than anything else you can do. never forget that.

U.S Politics, 2024 elections, Nevada
If you know anyone in Nevada, please share: there are some fourteen thousand ballots with signature issues that need to be cured before they can be counted; curing of ballots only lasts until November 12. They can check online to see whether their ballot was counted:

content warnings and politics meta
Why are the worst offenders for un-CWed politics always self-described anarchists, leftists, or anti-fascist activists? I kinda think the people with politics in bio should have the best understanding of political social expectations...

uspol, organizing
just a reminder yall, you don't have to be a gunner to be a fighter. every soldier has someone who feeds them. someone who heals their wounds. someone who helps with organization and communications. someone who finances their cause and gathers resources and information. someone who inspires others to join them, with art and propaganda.
we all can help each other, even those who aren't bruisers and brawlers.

US pol, mention of ableist slurs, swears
Other white people, especially in Europe; instead of crowing about how stupid Americans are, how about instead you go to the #MutualAid tags and give #trans #BIPOC some money, even if it's just a few dollars. You will feel better and you will give them some hope.
Also, if I follow you and I see you saying some unhelpful shit, you're getting muted and then blocked.

Be kind to yourselves today. Eat and drink when you need to, rest, stretch, move, breathe, medicate. Find your poise, your calm, your sense of place and purpose. Give yourself positive reminders of who you are and what you went through to get there.
Recoup your energy; you'll need it for the resistance.

Unbelievable, this shit is *still* going on, and it's *still* the same names concern-trolling every discussion about inclusivity

The biggest obstacle to our getting housed has been unemployment. My wife graduated with a Master's of Science in Library and information Sciences last year, and we have been homeless since January. Looking for viable jobs; currently she works in a call centern for minimum wage with a sideline in selling plasma.
@katievm @mynameistillian I don't know of any off the top of my head (finding a job seems to be pretty difficult in general right now), but I could certainly boost a job-seeking post for you if you want? Just let me know which post to boost basically
CW-boost: US politics, and its relation to tech/data companies
https://neuromatch.social/@jonny/113435767996347318
I can also confirm that I have had the exact same experience, consistently, in talking to such people.

Seriously, folks, check in with the people that go quiet, in the days to come.
Also, if you feel like going quiet, because it all feels hopeless to you, talk to others. Find the helpers. Use the network you have on here.
Organising is how we get through this, by banding together. Form up.
DMs are open, if you feel the need to rage or cry a bit more privately. Just remember that it's not encrypted.

Please try to turn your anger and spite into support for the most vulnerable around you, instead of turning it into angry posts.
If you're in the US and need help with something right now, please let me know. I'll do what I can to help.
