I am looking for a new instance to move to, preferably octodon.social but need an invite. I rarely use this account so I’d would like to go somewhere I will be more active.

If anyone has other ideas for general *anti-everything bad* instances that are currently open or if I can get an invite to octodon.social please lmk!

While on a googling rabbithole, found this helpful list of #metal recordlabels that are specifically anti-facist. Enjoy! 🤘

Doesn't it go without saying that we should be paying more attention to the marginalized, victimized, stigmatized, racialized, silenced, erased, appropriated and oppressed if we hope to understand their experiences, before the “allies” trying to fix them?

I'm looking at you, fellow middle-aged white men.

Hey, #Christians on the #left: Can the hashtag #HolyAnarchy be a thing?

Here's what I mean: I look at the first-century #church, and I see an #egalitarian community which cared deeply about #equity, #inclusion, #MutualAid, and #CommunityCare.

Now, they had trouble figuring out how to do it, but what they were working towards looks like what I see a lot of #leftists working towards today, including those who choose the label #anarchism. If #anarchy basically means coming together as a #community without hierarchy, neighbor caring for neighbor, then I think there's a place for us to join in with the work.

I know many people have concerns about identifying as #Christian because at least since Constantine, #Christianity has been entwined with #empire and #power. If you want to #decolonize the faith, you have to go way back.

But for those of us who do so identify, who do see the importance of coming together without #nationalism, with an eye towards #antiracism and #disability equity, of building the common good through #solidarity -- for those of us who live out our #faith in that way, might that be called #HolyAnarchy?

Note: I wrote this from a Christian perspective, but if you are of another faith and find this resonates with you, I would welcome your thoughts. I find the intersection of #spirituality and #leftist action very compelling.
