Have you tried MeetUp? Might very well be able to find people into your niche.

Yup. Welcome aboard comrade. Try not to let it break your sanity.

Not only that, but artists absolutely embue elements from their subconscious into their work. When we talk about the author’s intention, what we’re really talking about is their ego’s contribution to their work. They can give their works meaning that they didn’t consciously intend or even that they disagree with.

How do you get liberals to read?

Not only that. Companies are now charging people extra for using cards, passing on their processing fees to consumers.

No lie though, escargot wasn’t bad when I tried it. Like a grassy oyster.

Dice up a sweet potato into an oven safe pan and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper, and whatever spices you like (I like to use paprika, chipotle, cayenne). 400 degree oven. After 25 minutes take it out, create some space, and crack some eggs in the space (may have to add a little more oil). Bake for 5-7min, depending in how done you like your eggs.

Easy healthy breakfast that fits in one pan and doesn’t take too long. You can prep the sweet potatoes the night before and do other things while it cooks. I like to add an avocado too at the end.

Just wanna say I feel ya. I also got a new job and for the first time in my adult life I will be outside of the “official” poverty line. But with that I have had to let my organizing take a backseat as I acclimate and attend to a bunch of other personal transitions. I simply just don’t have as much time and energy to do both. I have moments where it’s not easy to reconcile.

Congrats on the new opportunity comrade.

Congrats comrade! Quitting is no easy task, especially when you’ve engaged in the addiction for years

And now it’s the Zionist Entity recycling the same barbarity on Gaza.

I was gonna recommend this as well! Lol

Really the book doesn’t have that much poly content. Important read for Mono couples as well. Most of it is breaking down your personal attachment anxieties. Highly encourage anyone with relationship issues – romantic or not – to read this.

One possible way for this shit not to escalate to nuclear armageddon is if these death cultists are given an off-ramp where they stand to benefit from the new global paradigm. Hella unsatisfying.

That’s such a succinct definition. Reminds me of the left-wing version of libertarians who constantly say “well, that’s not real capitalism.”

It straight up baffles me that there are some notable Black communists in the US that actually support this opportunist.

It would not be shocking in the slightest if West ended up being on CIA payroll to draw attention away from the actual socialist candidates running on the PSL ticket.

Our activism predictably has very little effect on the decisions of our imperialist leaders.

What our activism has done is shatter the narrative that upholds peoples’ allegiance to empire. Moreso than any other time in my life has an event created more communists and anarchists out of Western liberals. That isn’t really going to help the people of Gaza in this moment, sure, but imperialist days are definitely numbered now.

And even then, Israel (and the West in general) has completely and permanently lost any facade of “civility.”. The aging imperialists in charge are trying to recycle the same strategies from Korea, Vietnam, Panama, East Timor, and so on, except this time the entire world is watching and remembering. These massacres aren’t just something being read about in the paper. These soldiers are gleefully making tiktoks of their depraved war crimes while a senile American president fails to gaslight the rest of world that its not happening.

Even if the Palestinians are completely displaced from Gaza, it’s just a matter of time before the Israeli state is in ruins. The most powerful tool that imperialism has is the mask of legitimacy that upholds its narratives. And the US and Israel, as regimes in decline, will never be able to restore it. While things are pretty bleak and are bound to become more violent in the shorter term, the writing really is on the wall for the yankee empire.

Developing a happy outlook isn’t easy. It’s a skill that you need to practice and cultivate over time. Recognize that rage-bait and fascist content is stirring up unproductive emotions in you and that you do have some agency over which thoughts you choose to identify with and give attention to.

Read a little bit about stoicism if you’re unfamiliar with it.

This is funny as fuck (IG post)

IOF entered Shadia Abu Ghazala school, removed the men and shot the sheltering women and children execution-style.
