NGL, the econ blackout tomorrow is a great opportunity to look into Buy Nothing groups in your area as well as free clothing swaps/ skill shares. Recently got into a Buy Nothing group and it's been so helpful in getting some things I needed while also giving away stuff I might have thrown out!

I just wish when I mention to boycott/avoid shopping at Amazon, target etc that people realized, yes I do already know it's not possible for everyone. Like, why must the first reaponse be some moralizing pushback? Not to mention the fact some people don't have other options is also an issue??

It’s wanting to abolish Section 504, wanting to cut Medicare, wanting to get rid of DEIA, wanting to stop people working from home. All of this will kill disabled people. When we tell you that pandemics lead to fascism, this is what we mean. When you excuse our deaths, these policies are pushed.

working in sci comm right now is wild. my philosophy has always been not just to tell people information but also model HOW to learn. to be confidently curious and feeling comfortable to say i don't know or accepting mistakes. some of the conversations i have with people bring hope while others...

Bandcamp lets us keep 85% of revenue. That is the best rate of anybody out there. Over a period of about 15 years, I have taken home ~$3000. Every album is "pay what you want", so you all rock. If you bought an album for $5 then you gave me more than streaming the whole album ~300 times.

Finally read Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man this year and I honestly yearn for a double feature book club pairing it with Franz Kafka's The Trial. There's some interesting parallels and divergences between those novels that would make for some fun discussion.

Another thing re antidotes... the people you love, who you value... be in the moment with them. Not distracted, not on your phone, but fully present. Open to them. So you can see them and be seen. This feels even more important right now.

I probably don't even need to say this, BUT. Me not posting about every nightmarish thing is not because I am not internally (or externally!) screaming multiple times per day, i just figure you heard about it from 100 other people posting about each new nightmare.

This time it’s a shitty law you oppose, but what about next time? What type of precedent is being set? The remedy for the TikTok ban is Congress, not handing a wannabe dictator even more power.

It isn't about finding 'replacements' for Gaiman and other creatives that get exposed for their monstrous bullshit. It's about pulling away from idolatry. If work resonates with you, that's fine. It does not connect you to the creative in a way that demands blind fealty.

Re: LAFD Budget Seeing City officials in the press ignore the severe impacts of these budget cuts, especially the ones covering for their poor budget decisions to cut a majority of departments' budgets & even AFTER Chief Crowley told them about the impacts these cuts have had, is DISGRACEFUL.

Angelenos, If you have the resources please check in on your unhoused neighbors. Donating to groups is great but if you have a pack of masks to spare, directly giving them/ offering other resources can be a huge help!!
