27 She/ItI was told that writing down your thoughts would make them go away and now I’m all of your problem :3I swear I checked the “be a dragon” box at character gen, but I got this silly little meat sack instead.
it's definitely my predisposition to extreme frugality+redneck engineering, but i'm now obsessed with creating things literally without buying Anything. no supplies no tools no nothing, only the stuff you can just find outside, like Plants, Sticks, and Rocks.
I'm making textiles with nothing but foraged plant materials using no tools except sticks. Nature allows you to do this! There's no rules! I mean okay well maybe there might be some rules sometimes but they're just weak human rules! The plants themselves? They're like "Why sure! You can make yarn with nothing but fibers from the dead stem I don't need anymore, a couple sticks from that tree over there, and your own body and mind! Why not?"
Plants like to give us gifts! And nobody has the power to stop them!
All amazing points and so important to take in.
I think I have done a couple of these, but not habitually or intensely. But it's good awareness for me.
Your commentary really added nothing to that post that had not already been said. Also "try to design a better system"? We are. Look up prison abolition or even criminal rehabilitation.
we are very close to being able to leave here as we will be moving in with our girlfriend in new mexico for a few months while we wait for college to start, and we now need 527 dollars for airplane fare and 200 for an ESA letter from our therapist's office
for context on whats going on with us, here is the previous donation post that got too long
but not to mention they have been horrible to our pet rabbit Tater Tot and been purpousefully been treating her horribly, as well as trying to fuck up our own plans to leave. we're almost ready to just get the fuck out, ,and we just need to get the plane ticket and an ESA letter for Tater Tot, so yeah
Why do we say that capitalism must be “dismantled”?
You’ll hear phrases like “Smash the state!” “Eat the rich!” and “Smash capitalism!”
And, yes, of course, but… :)
However relevant those sayings are, our work must be careful, highly organized and above all planned.
Because capitalism and all of its associated systems are not discrete, abstracted entities we can attack independently.
It is a structure, like a complicated machine with many thousands of working parts…
And right now it is connected to absolutely everything.
If we do this… [picks up huge hammer and smashes the machine]
Then a lot of vulnerable people will die.
The machine was built and improved and redesigned and patched over the course of generations. It is very good at its intended purpose, which is ultimately to generate profit.
Every human being alive today relies on the byproducts of the machine to survive, without exception.
The machine’s engineers want it to keep working like it does. In fact, they want to optimise it.
That will kill all remaining life on Earth.
So, we must destroy the machine, quickly and carefully
We must examine its deadly programs and mechanics and replace them with alternatives we built together.
The engineers don’t want us tampering with the machine.
However, we make it run…
So we can make it STOP. Together.
How will YOU help us to safely dismantle the machine?

As protests start ramping up and violence escalates please remember:
DO NOT PUT MILK IN YOUR EYES FOR PEPPER SPRAY OR TEAR GAS.
It can and will cause infection due to bacteria. Flush with water, distilled if possible, and never EVER wear contact lenses to protests where there may be police retaliation.
"job hunting" is such a misleading term. i think if you were actually allowed to release prospective employers into a dark forest and chase after them with spears and hounds and horns and crossbows and guns and shoot them and kill them and hurt them, looking for employment would be a good deal more tolerable
agatha agate has a little spot on the top of her head where her fur is white and it’s very thin and the pink of her skin is a little bit visible all the time. turns out she can get sunburnt there
