It is very exhausting to do activism with such a small group surrounded by a larger oppressive system. Ironically, the best thing is to make sure you are still taking care of your own needs and rest. Not only because it will make sure you don't burnout and can continue to help in the long term, but because by setting that example for other people to see it is possible to help without being overwhelmed.

In my opinion, the initial challenge to get people involved is to have them witness for themselves what is going on and what they can do to contribute. Once they see the need and a path to help then they are more likely to do so. But they also have to see that helping does not have to include giving up all their time with their loved ones and being destitute.

How about we stop the blame game and stay focused on fighting for both (and to be honest many more) causes?

There was always going to be a fight, it was only a matter of how we were going to fight.

Ethics and morals are a murky thing. Simon de Beauvoir wrote a whole book called The Ethics of Ambiguity on it and everything. Wouldn't it also be unethical for me to vote against my own conscious?

I don't need any mental gymnastics or long winded explanation. Both of the major party candidates have parts of their platform that are deal breakers for me. So, I will exercise my right to vote for someone that more aligns with my values.

My wife is the same way. She doesn't care so I just use her phone number for everything. But then she wonders why she gets more spam calls than me...

It's better for OP to explain, but from what I read they don't mind it being used in a collective work, but they want to make sure that collective work will also be CC-BY-SA. What from what they read it is no guarantee.

Yes. Once Fox canceled it Comedy Central picked it up after the direct to home video movies. Comedy Central canceled it after a season and Hulu has now picked it up, currently in its second season there.

In my town there is usually a long drive thru line for Raising Canes, but it snakes around the parking lot rather than the stroad. The few times I go there I park, walk in, and walk out with my food before the person who would have been ahead of me at the drive thru has even ordered.

I was going to mention postmarketos if they really wanted to dive headfirst into the degoogled life, lol

I am currently reading a collection of short stories titled Lake of Souls by Ann Leckie.

They’re all in the sci-fi genre, and they have been pretty interesting so far.

 

Alt text. A picture of Bane lifting Batman in the air. Top text reads “Me: Trying not to use words I painstakingly learned in college to make a document accessible.” Bottom text reads “Readability tool: Victory has defeated you.”

 

I came across this website that focuses on highlighting books that are out if print but still worthy of reading, if you can find them. The most recent post (Feb. 29 2024) talks about the various reasons books become neglected.

 

Mathematically they're equivalent, but the feelings could not be further apart.
