There are some things to say about this. Small but significant.

Trump didn't start new wars directly. But he invited Turkey to invade and destroy the fledgling feminist cooperative economy development among the US's military allies against ISIS. This is heartbreaking. https://rojavainformationcenter.com/2020/11/explainer-cooperatives-in-north-and-east-syria-developing-a-new-economy/

Saw Van Jones cry on TV. I understand that feeling of release. Four long years of stress. Of course, Trump's loss does not mean the end of the age of exploitation, but it is a joy to see him lose.

If my partner and I wanted to farm but don't have much experience besides rooftop gardening and houseplants (plus a good amount of ambition and book knowledge), is there a farming network that connects people who are new to farming with those who have working farms (and patience... and housing)? ...and that is queer/BIPOC-friendly and supports regenerative farming and land-back initiatives? Feel free to boost :-)

HEY AMERICANS, big reminder: you can text "USPS" to 50409 to sign a big-ass petition to save the United States Postal Service that'll get sent to your congress reps. inexpensive, reliable mail service is crucial to everyone in the American comics industry, as well as everyone else in the creative and small business fields. signing only takes a minute and doesn't require any info more personal than your street address and email. DO IT!

"Nature. Essence. Innate. The way things are. This kind of rhetoric should
raise suspicions in any context. It should especially raise suspicion here. If
there is any place where nature has no rule, it is in #cyberspace. If there is any
place that is constructed, cyberspace is it. Yet the rhetoric of “essence” hides
this constructedness. It misleads our intuitions in dangerous ways."

a little bit amazed that i haven't heard of this tool before!
