I refer to this post like once a week
if i've learned one thing from doing union stuff while also doing other forms of organizing, it's that you're better off with people you disagree with who are nevertheless trying to do the same thing as you than with people you agree with who aren't trying to do anything

Hey Columbus, please keep an eye out for my bike/bag. It was stolen out of my garage and I can’t afford to replace it (nor can I actually replace them - neither this bike or bag are made anymore). The bag was a gift so I’d especially like to recover that one ):

Currently, Genshin Impact. Sometimes pizza. Also organizing for a better world with my community and comrades.
I wanna ask my American friends, how do you deal with all this anxiety and tension?
Because if I lived in a place where:
- A single injury or illness could ruin my life financially,
- So many people carried guns in public,
- I could get sued for the tiniest thing,
I think I'd die from stress.

Teen creators jumpstart careers by selling clothes online and getting brand sponsorships
It’s unsurprising that more teenagers aspire to become influencers, given how many grew up watching TikTok stars like Charli D'Amelio and Ariana Greenblatt go from social media to the big screen.

Society has approved of the death of your loved ones “because they can’t afford it…” Why is this not seen as murder?
with all seriousness, do we all start approving of murdering individuals based on their job titles? how would you feel if the public did that to someone you loved?
If he had lived a righteous life it wouldn't be a thing.

This has become an area of academic research, that people often mistake the profound discomfort of visible poverty with risk of violent danger
People "Feel Unsafe" Because Visible Poverty Is Everywhere
Media hysteria around “rising crime” works because it touches on something real: a palpable increase in visible human suffering. What matters is how we alleviate that suffering.

Huh.

We have to talk about how fucking DIFFICULT existence is in the US. Everything is broken - banking, labor, housing, health care. Administrative systems are horrifyingly inept and inefficient.
The one thing Trump keeps saying is “We’re gonna make it easier.” He’s lying, but he *keeps saying it.*

This is great, and it's going to serve a lot of people who bike in that part of town, but this path ends just east of the freeway and is unconnected to the one that starts just west of the freeway, and I still think that gap demonstrates that the city is, in the end, basically unserious about this!
