I will almost always boost mutual aid shares. I won't boost if your account has zero to no genuine engagements & your entire profile has nothing more than multiple mutual aid beg posts. I'll look at you more like a possible scam grifter. If you ain't a grifting scammer - do more than just ask strangers for money, every single post. Show us that you are a real person with real struggles.

I'm an anarcho-socialist.
Democracy sounds great on paper. I haven't seen/been part of any true democracy in my entire life. I've been part of pseudo democracy for most of my life - where at least one(or more) of the essential pillars of democracy were destroyed. I've never been able to participate in true democracy because it's impossible with our current 2-party-swinging-same-colonial-doors farce-full election systems. Many folks scream to protect democracy that wasn't actually ever existent.

This really old #apple #tree refuses to die. It got damaged by tent caterpillars & then had some disease issues so we sawed off all affected branches. It's bouncing back to life. Before it was damaged, this small tree used to produce large red, juicy apples(unsure of variety). It's at least 60 years old.

Me & several others threatened to quit & they threatened us with lawsuits for breaching work contracts. It's only reason some of us kept working - despite hating everything about the productions. We couldn't afford to fight back.

2024-05-23 01:04:32

In casting - producers only look for physically attractive applications & others are quickly dumped in first few days of screening applicants. During 1st interview, they look for insecure & desperate for love folks. They don't do background checks. They create situations to create drama, if people are actually getting along well. There's so much more they do & I'm sick of being quiet about their abuses of casts & crews.

2024-05-23 00:48:58

FYI - I worked on 2 different #RealityTV shows in #Canada & after those lived work experiences - told everyone I could - don't agree to go on these shows. It's almost all scripted, not reality. Crews are forced to put pressure on voluntary participants - who rarely know WTF they're signing up for & producers exploit naivety. Don't chase easy fame/easy money - they both come at high personal costs. Don't agree to be traumatized on TV, for money. You'll regret it.

#Genocide needs to be taught in all schools. It's sad to see so many adults who obviously never learned what genocide truly is. They really believe that it's only genocide if almost every person targeted in a genocide is dead. There's more to genocide than only body counts.

When a stubborn black #bear made its way up a tree in a neighborhood in Golden, #Colorado, #wildlife #rangers went to great lengths to get the animal from the tree safely. That included blasting #BlackSabbath’s “Iron Man” in an attempt to coax it down.

My Mom: You've always been a big shit disturber for justice. I worry about what will happen to you when you're out there, a lot. You keep fighting & governments are changing protest laws. I worry about what they'll do to you because I know you won't stop disturbing & disrupting them, for justice for others. I'm so proud of you. I'm so worried too.

If you're a radical leftie & able to act in character - you can infiltrate far right groups without too much extra efforts. They're not too bright & they don't have as much public support as they want. They LOVE it when any POC can be #tokenized. They hate #BIPOC but will definitely exploit any BIPOC who are foolish enough to volunteer to stand beside bigots who would kill them, if they couldn't be tokenized for WS needs. I've infiltrated more than once & got several local BC fascists arrested.

REMINDER: Fediverse is global. It is NOT limited to US. Please get over your American exceptionalism shit. It's not helping you or the US. In fact, it only reinforces global communities' thoughts about Americans' arrogance & not caring about others, outside of their country.
Please refrain from US exceptionalism attitudes, if you're truly interested in doing serious decolonialism work - it's counterintuitive.

Their bird calls YellTell me - We are happy in our habitat here! It's another day we are alive!
Their early morning bird songs, remind me of the importance of feeling #gratitude of being able to enjoy another morning, another day, to relish in the fact I'm still alive & able to receive many opportunities that the dead no longer have.

My worst surgical living nightmare is a walk in park, compared to what children undergoing surgeries without anesthesias are suffering right now.
I had multiple surgeries in childhood for my polio paralysis. During one foot bridge surgery, I woke up in massive pain & was screaming from pain & felt terror upon seeing my foot all opened up with blood, bones & everything else showing. I was sedated again quickly but still remember that clearly.

Part of the mutual aid activism training I did with many new activists, over 3 decades, sometimes solo teach-ins & sometimes collab teach-ins - always included training several folks to work in relay teams to spot/document possible state agents/agent provocateurs & how to kettle & remove them from crowded protests & active large blockades. It's ESSENTIAL proactive training. There's always state agents & also right wingnuts who try to infiltrate big activist movements.

My ex used to be befuddled by why anyone would be interested in following me. I never actually ever asked for anyone to follow me - anywhere. I just posted things I was already doing & also posted my personal thoughts. I was weirded out by my ex freaking out on me - because I didn't do anything extra to gain a following. I didn't know why this shallow shit bothered him for awhile. He was jealous & that is fucked up. I wasn't competing.

Does anyone, I'm connected with, have this breed of dog or know someone who does? It's a new to me dog breed. I have never met one before.

I'm super excited about meeting these 2 Silken Wind Hound #dogs tomorrow afternoon! Never met this breed of dog before. My friend Lyrica is taking me for a nature walk tomorrow, shortly after noon. We're meeting up with her friend, who lives beside park we're going to hunt for wildflowers at & these are the 2 dogs coming out with us!
Expect lots of photos of nature & these rad dogs, after our nature adventures, tomorrow 😀

I've lived with post-polio for over a decade after being paralyzed by polio in 1976. I know more about how long covid works than average person because it's similar to how post-polio strikes past polio survivors, decades after initial infection & diagnosis. We're fucked because long covid isn't treated seriously by society & majority of medical professionals. AIDS had similar societal reactions & longterm health consequences for those lucky enough to survive & not die.

I'm not friendly to anyone who tries to tell me to be 'nicer' to politicians. I don't need to be nicer to any politician - if I think they are dishonest and/or evil and/or selfish asshats.
They never earned my respect or any kindness. They only lie, lie & lie to me & othdr citizens. Politicians who don't work hard at earning their votes - don't get a vote from me & many others, who think like me. We aren't a tiny fringe population either.
