With the help of #SpeakeasyPrintshop in #Salem, we will be providing 75 unhoused folks in #Boston and #Cambridge with hooded sweatshirts in order to help prepare our community for the fall and winter months ahead. We got a really good deal on the sweatshirts, but this still cost us $1000. We still have some funds left, but it would be awesome if some folks in our community had some money to spare to help us recoup. While sweatshirts will be a huge help to people, the winter months are the most draining on our budget. We do what we do on ~$400/month. If you have some money to spare, please consider donating to Warm Up via our #kofi. #WarmUpBoston #ServeThePeople #SurvivalProgram #MobileDistro #EncampmentSupport #Solidarity #Community #MutualAid https://ko-fi.com/warmupboston

I really fear what #Internet is becoming. #Cookies, accept, decline some nonsense shit that many do not understand; #laws, #restrictions, #vpns, #bans, policies, and other stupid rules that defending the world does not exist, etc. What has happened? How did we let it be? It is not the place where I wanna be. I come here to see what I wanna see, to talk to anyone I wanna talk, to post what I wanna post, to find knowledge and skills I was deprived. And what we have now? What do we do then?

@futurebird i remember hearing something like this, but i wouldn't expect the boss to acknowledge a successful labor action. #GeneralStrike and #Boycott of #capitalism could work and would be undeniable in their success.

Grâce au dernier épisode du podcast Hommage Collatéral consacré à Dan Harmon (3 heures quand même, wouhou), je découvre l'existence de cette lecture de l'épisode "Cooperative Polygraphy" de #Community par le cast pendant le confinement, et je me marre !!
(et je me souviens d'à quel point j'ai aimé cette série, même si je l'ai très peu revue ensuite)

#Tiktok #narcissists are so eager to get validation from #neurotypicals, it’s sad. Watch them insult and demonise their own #community just to get a condescending “wow, you’re one off the good ones 🥺” from #someone who would have you dead in two seconds flat if you dared to breathe in a way that made them uncomfortable.

"There is hope. I promise. Young #people just won their case against the state of Montana. Ecuadoreans braved escalating #political violence to vote against oil drilling in the #Amazon. #Brazilian deforestation is down by enormous amounts since Lula took office. They’ve invented hydropanels that synthesise pure water from the air. People are farming in solar parks. A ship just launched for its maiden voyage using rigid sails designed to mimic wind turbine blades. EV sales are taking off, and, more crucially, cities are re-assessing their very relationship with the car. By the 2024 Olympics the river Seine will be safe for people to swim in again. More and more people are replacing their gas boilers with heat pumps. Solarpunks are growing crops in their back garden and distributing them to their neighbours. Great tracts of land are being given back to nature. Young people are channelling their energies into meaningful careers. Pilots are leaving the aviation industry. Yes, the #world is dark and terrible and full of awful dangers that keep you up at night, but we are a huge movement that grows every day in numbers and power. Your small actions matter. Our collective triumphs are increasing. Things are going to get harder, extreme #weather will be more common, but with ingenuity, resilience and crucially, #COMMUNITY, we can build an equitable world on this strange, tired old #planet. See you in the future."

a design for yet another idea of mine that may never get off the ground: a music-based befriending club for housebound people to spend a bit of time with another person sharing their favourite music.
tempted to do it just so i can try #riso printing.

Inspiring piece of writing on Mutual Aid in the latest issue of Planet magazine by Llinos Anwyl illustrating how Unite Community Cambria, Wales, are learning from Comunidad Habitacional Acapatzingo, an autonomous area in Mexico City.

“If we depend on the political establishment to provide our needs to survive, they maintain their power. With capitalism currently eating itself, the state is clearly increasingly uninterested in and unable to meet our needs, meaning that we ourselves must find autonomist solutions for the problems that we face.
Autonomous communities offer a clear way forward, but yet remain very uncommon.”

It’s behind a very affordable paywall (the magazine does it’s best to pay writers fairly), I have a digital only subscription.

“landlords are bad because they don’t work” no. #landlords are bad because they use the justice #system and the #police to render innocent #people #homeless. landlords are bad because they put barriers between living #human beings and having shelter. landlords are bad because they #hoard wealth and resources while their #community suffers

enough with the #ableist horseshit. nobody needs to work 40h a week to deserve to live"

Rides to appointments or shopping offered, sharpening of my hand lawn trimmers accepted. Not as a one on one exchange but the result of lots of offers and lots of accepts, and a simple spreadsheet to keep track. Because people feel better if we keep track.
I think this is a reasonable and functional system for many of our needs.

Just thinking out loud.

Is it possible to create an online community without active moderators? A community that is self moderated, either by the users or by technology?

Anyone got experience with this?

#community

"yesterday I went to a little meeting at my local queer #community center and I was admiring their bookshelves and mentioned that I work at the public #library and someone said "well I bet they don't have any [LGBTQ+ books] at our library" and I was like um. yes we do. we have tons of them. half of our employees are queer #leftists so they said "oh well I bet they don't in [nearby rural county]" and I was like uh once again yes they absolutely do. gay people live and work there as well

so here's a quick #reminder that if you don't think your local library has enough queer centered materials you should actually check before assuming, and if you're not satisfied with their collection you should submit a request for more such #books. I don't know what the #political landscape of #libraries looks like outside the us rn, but within the us no matter where you are, I promise you there are employees at your library fighting for inclusion and intellectual freedom and they can't win without vocal #public #support"
