#lifehack: you gotta put down the duckie if you wanna play the saxophone

I mean...I'm a fairly mature adult but the phrase "I boosted a toot!" still makes me giggle a bit.

#introduction: I’m Kelly, an #energy #democracy organizer on the East Coast (mostly #newyork- + #newjersey-based, though pretty itinerant). My politics are informed by #socialecology + #communalism. I’m a #queer #femme living with #chronicillness + #disability. In my past life, I was a diplomat and Arabist/Persianist. Side-hustles include #communityorganizing with #symbiosis + #dsalsc. Also I love puns and dogs.

"One cannot survive on duty and ideology, but human relationships can nourish and sustain us."

I feel this year's statement so hard. The longer I live in this world- the more joy and heartbreak I experience - the more I value the intention I and others bring to our work. How we are in relation with one another runs deeper than the words we say or the theories we hold.

The debate about #housing in the US is often framed as a battle between #NIMBY ("not in my back yard") and #YIMBY ("yes in my back yard"): against or for market-driven increases in housing stock in particular neighborhoods.

CityLab (part of The Atlantic) takes a look at the "#PHIMBY" campaign in California by several democratic #socialist chapters: Public Housing In My Back Yard.

(For DSA's full reasoning, see, e.g., DSA-LA's statement here: http://www.dsa-la.org/statement_in_opposition_to_sb_827)

Many older environmental groups were created to *stop* things from getting built. The big question facing Sierra Club & others today is “What do you do when building something produces an environmental good?”

If the state & local Clubs won't fight for building dense, livable economically accessible, low-carbon, mixed-use cities, they become at best irrelevant & at worst an enemy of climate action, engaged in predatory delay alongside Shell & the Kochs. #SB827 https://www.modernluxury.com/san-francisco/story/green-house-divided

Exasperated K-2SO is my main emote now.

blossoms at night
at the edge of the hearth
moving its wings

instead of defending tendencies, defend concrete ideas.

when people say “wow these ideas are so good where did u get them” you can then promote the tendency.

this is how you bring people to your side. Give them ideas not labels.
