Inequality / garbage sorters / canners documentary I watched today, worth it and powerful

I've had this recurring discomfort with my own internal biases / expectations:

I keep finding myself surprised somehow when images of people I strongly disagree with politically look no different visually than people I agree with.

I've heard it claimed that most judgments of others are based in projection.

Well, I notice myself constantly asserting that almost everyone (even those I disagree with or who seem antagonistic) has the capacity to learn, to be open-minded, are not hopelessly partisan or reactionary, and that we can make progress if we treat one another with compassion and emotional intelligence…

So much of our political complaints actually come from dysfunctional elections. If you want good democracy, help spread the word about #starvoting

Are there memes comparing seat-belts and masks yet?? If not, how do we organize to make some?

Naomi Klein on how to use crisis for good instead of letting it turn for the worst (which is a real possibility)

Where else should this get uploaded besides YouTube (use mpv and youtube-dl folks)?

Anyway, it's AMAZING

I appreciated this as a way to hopefully wake up people about invasive tracking: https://stealingurfeelin.gs/

(it's a public awareness video that does live tracking to demonstrate it to you)

"Hey, why did those people tell me I need to lift up my head more??"

"Oh, don't mind them. They're just the weird Neck Store neighbors."

What's a healthy and effective way to describe feeling pleased with one's work without pride?
