I haven't used the site in a long while. But when I did, for IDing Arkansas wildflowers and insects, that wasn't a problem. The community suggested IDs and a consensus likely ID was chosen. I was a grad student, and most of the folks IDing were also laypeople

I totally understand. Multiple people I know vouched for the organizer. And moreover, Minneapolis City Council Member Jason Chavez said it's good and I trust him with my life

so don't worry about when the dam's finally going to break and a new world will sweep in and the wrongs will be righted

that's not for us to worry about.

when you get to the age where you've buried enough comrades, you stop worrying about "will we see it"

they didn't see it. it doesn't matter.

the way you stay plugged in to movement work is by working constantly on community

learning how to BE IN community is an individual skill

actively working on your own accountability

deprogramming the white supremacy, ego, misogyny you bring to the work

it takes practice and you'll make mistakes

this system is fucking atrocious, it's actually a bunch of interconnected systems of power and it took 600 years for these people to get this entrenched and powerful

and that's with constant opposition in one form or another

it's a generational struggle you just need to stay plugged in and work

oldhead advice from an oldhead.

every couple years, newcomers to the movement think "THIS is finally it, the moment when the dam breaks and the whole system is overthrown"

and when it doesn't happen they lose patience and get disillusioned and drop out of movement work

gotta build for long term

I only just found out Guilded shut down. Seeing Discord's IPO reminded me to go check out how it was doing. Turns out not very well.

It was a chat application very similar to Discord that Roblox had acquired.

Okay why does the internet hate Water World? I've never seen it. I just know it's a meme and everything associated with it is a meme. And it has a damn Virtual Boy game too for some reason.

Holy shit, apparently people with PhDs have to go through lots of steps to ID or even use iNaturalist??? If this is true, that's a terrible ass rule in dire need of being struck down.

"Gumbo" is the word for okra in one of the West African languages; you can use a roux or file' if you'd like, but gumbo's definitely allowed.

You're going to have to die wrong, because the word gumbo is derived from the word for okra, ki ngombo, in several west african languages.

I mean, obviously, you can put anything in gumbo including *shudder* file powder--but if it ain't got okra, it's just soup!

Project 2025 already has something for that in place. Its all going according to plan for them.
I hope anti-ICE Minnesotans can walk in the history of non-violent protest, because these fascists will, if given the chance, make this not only an excuse for an anti-democracy crackdown, but a bloodbath.

Protect one another, please.
I pray that this murderer is brought to justice. www.thenation.com/article/soci...
