    Recently, I was invited to board game night at the local synagogue. I’m not jewish, but they love that chapter, and invited everyone who was at that serve, as well as the rest of the group. If I wasn’t busy, I’d 100% attend because I love that feeling of being involved in the community. I’m just sad I live half an hour away, otherwise I’d be able to be more involved.

    I fucking love food not bombs. It’s probably one of my favorite forms of praxis, and it has a huge boon on people’s lives.

    If you are someone who only votes or protests, please try FNB, it’s a good introduction to how direct action and mutual aid networks work, and you will meet some lovely people. You might provide the only meal someone has that day or maybe even a few days.








  • but Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, can’t even get the mental health services he obviously needs

    Lmfao

    I’d rather get healthcare at all. I’ve been too poor to afford any medical care at points in my life, I’d settle for even some low quality care as opposed to none at all and hoping that this new weird pain either is insignificant and goes away without issue, or it gently takes me out in the night.

    I’m excited to see where pirate medicine goes. I’ve met a trans woman who told me that her DIY HRT was life changing in the best possible way, and I can only dream of what would happen if people started making their own Insulin or T or whatever





  • I don’t disagree, but considering how averse the police are to being filmed, I’m willing to bet they just don’t want to be filmed, despite their ignorance on the law.

    In fact, I think a cop saying things like “It’s illegal to film cops” or “It’s illegal to film an ongoing arrest” or “It’s illegal to film a crime scene” cannot be viewed through the lens of ignorance. If you know little about the law you might misinterpret the law, or not know specific laws exist, or not know legal processes. But they aren’t “not knowing” the law, they are inventing a new law that doesn’t exist. They are inventing a new law that benefits them, and then using their authority, perceived knowledge of the law, and threat of force and violence to get their way.

    If anything, cops hate accountability. And cameras are good at holding them accountable. And even if what they are doing is legal (such as clearing an unhoused camp), the public outcry will not be super pleasant for them. I remember the anger cops had when my state made them wear body cams, and I remember early scandals about cops disabling the cameras before doing horrible shit.
