Here's the instrument. I didn't know it existed and I love the violin but thanks to being a lefty and poor I can't afford lessons. And since I came down with dysautonomia I can't keep my arms up to play. But this? Solves every problem...

It takes a lot more courage to hold your friends accountable than it does to punch a Nazi.

Looking for resources (especially text-based stuff like books and articles) about overcoming shame and building a positive sense of self/self-esteem. Also, creating and enforcing healthy boundaries.

Trans folks, how does drag make you feel?

If you aren't trans, maybe give us a boost? :)

Today I found a great example of common pitfalls that happen with US progressives around racist incidents. The pitfalls are (unintentionally) on display in this therapy podcast.

It's a good example of how even folks who are less bigoted than average perpetuate harm, so it's very instructive. There's a long way to go.

The curious phenomenon of "ghost kitchens" has arrived in Canada. These are commercial kitchen facilities that exist solely to fill orders for food delivery gig platforms like Skip the Dishes, DoorDash and Uber Eats.

Each kitchen often poses as several different "restaurants". It is like another shitty silicon valley scam idea like "ghost hotels" on AirBnB and drop shippers with fake Shopify storefronts selling cheap watches and stuff.

Just found a directory of bail funds in the so-called US!

Jail is a fucking traumatizing and inhumane experience that no one should have to be exposed to. Donating to a bail fund can help reduce the number of people who are. A good cause to put your money toward, if you're looking for one

@Pops good reminder to kick some money to the local immigration bail fund for #solarpunkactionweek

#solarpunkactionweek Make a star compass!

Find out what the brightest stars are in your location, where they rise on the azimuth (compass points). You can learn to tell time and the seasons, by watching which stars rise and set, too.

The Stellarium desktop planetarium is free, crossplatform and open source.

Stellarium is cool because you can toggle on different star cultures under 'star lore.'

I don't know if there's a campaign around this, but the extremely overcrowded private prisons that new migrants and refugees are held in are going to kill a fuckton of people if they're not emptied before covid19 strikes.

Is there a campaign??
