I am Crafty. (they/them/theirs)
I got an email this morning asking people to respond to the threat (typo, they meant thread) and I was reminded of this classic from Ask A Manager

“I will confront you by Wednesday of this week”

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage.

When a friend has been bit, stung, burnt, or otherwise injured by something, do you often wonder, "Should I suck on it, piss on it, smear butter on it, or stab the person?" Spoiler alert: no.

It was a beautiful Sunday in Portland. Farmer’s markets, the Portland Marathon, peaceful protests, and some views of Mt. Hood. This city is vibrant, peaceful, and resilient. We do not need a federal occupation, and we sure as hell don’t want one.

We're continuing our break down of the U.S. Constitution with Article One. Roman and Elizabeth talk with Representative Sharice Davids about Article One, the hidden rules of Congress, and what it means to serve in the “people’s house.”

Hey, PDX. The cosplay revolutionaries are already on social media doing their darnedest to stoke a riot and throw our city under the tank treads for their bloody fantasy. Don't take the bait. If we want to protect our city, we prove Tr*mp's ridiculous claims false.
This is how we stop a military takeover

“We have been left with no choice but to stop our activities, as our clinics are encircled by Israeli forces... This is the last thing we wanted.”

We have been forced to suspend our activities and leave Gaza City.

Hyper local: I went to the Midland library today for the first time since it reopened and it’s gorgeous! Also there are seven EV chargers and I spent less than a dollar to top up Clémentine while I crafted with friends. 🧡

Fat bear week is my favorite
It's that time of year!

The one week when we, as anarchists, will be reminding you all to VOTE!

Please make your voice heard in this all-important election.

(We would not dream of telling you HOW to vote. What's important is the process. And bears getting so so fat.)

I’ve been thinking about this since I read it.
this week's (free) post is about the adage "deescalate all conflict that isn't with the enemy" and what it means to be an enemy, and don't worry I manage to reference both Sun Tzu and Tolkien so I've still got it

If you're feeling hit especially hard by the sense of powerlessness as shit gets worse and worse, us too.
I feel like we should be offering advice or encouragement but right now, this evening, all we have is a sincere "same" and a "you're not alone."

At least Scooby Doo villains dressed up in costumes & pretended to be ghosts.

Ours are like “Here is the evil shit we plan to do.”

Then they brag about doing it in plain sight.

Then media reports it as “10 reasons this evil shit isn’t true and if it were it wouldn’t be that bad, actually.”
