  • Get to know your neighbors. Organizing doesn’t have to mean politically, and community is the only strength we have.

    I’m dead serious. Get to know your neighbors. At home. At work? (lolsafely) Do less work, more talking to your co-workers about work. About whatever. But yaknow, get to know them. And probably find out you agree about a lot of the stuff that’s not on tv.

    Organizing isn’t some nebulous concept, politics isn’t for lawyers. Organizing (and politicking) 's just… talking to people. People who like you n me who can’t “influence politics” and don’t know how to start. But we do know what we need.

    People power is right there with us every day, politics is everyday life. So get to know your neighbors




  • i used to as part of my weekend job working in an old hospital have to walk the breadth of it and at some point decided that i would try to use every single bathroom in the place. Over the course of months i found many cool nooks and quiet bathrooms but i never finished the mission because i found the PERFECT bathroom.

    in the middle of an access hallway, up some narrow stairs, was a dead-end office. The only entrance was this one stairwell. Sun-facing windows looked out over the roof of the building and west, shining in on a bank of training computers. smell of warm dust and absolute quiet.

    someone knew of it, cuz there was always toilet paper, but in my many trips to that special place i never saw a soul. Something about that place i can’t describe to you, the vibe, the feel. it was perfect. I abandoned my efforts to find better and instead would walk past other open bathrooms just to use that one again.

    I still think about that room sometimes. Never been paid to poo in a better one.


  • Sorry, two things:

    1. crying and name-calling non-liberal leftists has the same effect after the election as before. Laughter and dismissal.

    2. Trump got the same number of votes as 2020. The leftists had minimal impact. Liberals that showed up in 2020 stayed home.

    Liberals. Liberals sat this one out bud, and no amount of (hilarious and cathartic) online spittle-flecked anger will make that less true.

    Get your head out of your ass, look around yourself and clean up your wreck of a political party.

    We have work to do and it won’t start until you figure out this? Aint it.

    Organize, bitches.






  • Well, i’m just goin by how insurance ends up working in the us so take it for what it’s worth. Problem is for-profit insurance companies in the States are so badly regulated they are denying the very claims they exist to pay. You are right that people need help and i didn’t really offer an alternative. If you pressed me on how, i guess i’d advocate govt. assistance for disaster relief as a superior choice. It would be far better for citizens money to be spent on taxes towards this than to a private company. How do i know this? I don’t, but my experience how private insurance “serves” me and people i know here in the land of the free couldn’t be fuckin worse.
