Fascism is a weak ideology for weak people. Everything fascists do is a coping mechanism for their weakness. There’s a reason fascist regimes don’t last long.

There are multiple posts on this thread from people trying to say that it’s hopeless, and that there’s no point in acting. In this context, I think it beared pointing out.

Then we need to let them know that people *are* looking.

I don’t understand why people who bought into hopelessness are bothering to make posts and comments discouraging people from acting. It’s one thing to feel too lethargic to do anything useful, but you are literally helping our oppressors here.

I called my Senators. Everyone else: there’s a script on the 5 calls app. If possible, please use that first, and *then* feel sad and lethargic.

1. Unseat Hakeem Jeffries as minority leader and humiliate him as an example.
2. Prevent any legislation from being passed whatsoever. Filibuster. Let the GOP accomplish *nothing.*
3. Literally every dirty trick the GOP has used the past four years.
I am sick of decorum. FIGHT!!

Technically, I’m guilty of the same thing in this post right now. But I hope it might make the big picture a tad clearer.

I just try to get all of my dinner meat from the co op. The butchers over there can probably help at least point you in the right direction.

Good to know! I’ll just keep sending a message on his website as my “sixth call” until then.

4. The above process takes care of the DC office numbers. I now gather the local office numbers for each congressperson, and repeat the process, manually using this second set of numbers on my phone.
5. Ok, technically I was only making 5 calls—I can’t find a local office number for Adam Schiff.

3.1 - also an important mention is a daily practice with my trans ancestors. Transcestors if you will.

5. Another current phase of mine: cooking game meat burgers. This photogenic third of a pound of venison is what I just now finished cooking for my lovely wife. And now you are caught up.

4. I’ve been continuing to organize my house. Our art work is hung up. Our tea cart has found new life as a mobile coffee table. My music collection is integrated on two personal streaming servers. Our house now has well fitted blinds on each window. I still miss that Jurassic park blanket we used.

3. I completed a year long intensive reiki program and researched aspects of my own ancestry into my energetic healing practice. I am available for palm healing sessions, guided meditations, and the odd tarot reading. I focus on the trans community, and am developing a daily practice with Brigid.

2. I still park skate and trail skate on a regular basis, but I take it much easier. I’m still available to teach folks how to skate a half pipe, but there isn’t really an org or a ‘gram for it anymore. Just informal word of mouth stuff. I stay in it for my health. I bought a trampoline for cardio.

1. I have quit roller derby for good. My body locks up at the thought of doing another practice. This was a huge chapter for me to turn, and it will never be fully out of my system. If you knew me as “Amazon” before, you may continue to call me that if you like.
