Obviously it says "broke but in love" to... Wouldn't be hipster if it didn't romanticise poverty

This is the quote (sorry I'm in a rush and don't have time to make a photo desc right now)

Some bouji company in town has a fucking Emma Goldman quote on the side of their building and I couldn't be more pissed ://// I hate gentrification and appropriation of Anarchist semiotics so fucking much

We're back.

I plan on passing the reins of the cooperative to someone else. I am working 50+ hours a week and my mother is very ill right now, so I simply do not have the time to be here anymore. If anyone would like to take over please let me know. This primarily means having the domain and hosting registered to your own name.

I've been thinking about this for the last few months and I believe now would be a good time as things are relatively quiet.

The Met Gala is just a bunch of privileged assholes flaunting their immense wealth and social capital

Took some CBD and now I know that the purpose of this life really is to Live Laugh Love...

I've done some research into how we would actually go about it so tonight I will be submitting a proposal to the Sunbeam City co-operative to donate a sum of money to Green and Black Cross.

PepsiCo suing Indian farmers for growing Pepsi-patented potato seeds is the perfect summary of why I can't support the proliferation of GMOs under Capitalism

The older I get the more I realise that Bookchin was right

I am trying to be be broadly supportive of the Extinction Rebellion movement but the latest controversy which has confirmed that leaders in XR are coordinating to deliberately get their subordinates arrested has made supporting the movement extremely difficult.

Don't be an armchair critic

Political Nihilism has never achieved anything and offers nothing to anyone. Likewise a "ruthless critique of everything existing" only achieves political inertia and smug satisfaction in armchair theorists as the world around them falls apart. How comfortable it is to criticise everyone else for trying to make the world a better place in which we find it, and how paralysing it must be to be afraid of having the same done to you. If you're not making mistakes you're not making anything.

"What we found in a nationally representative survey of 3,000 American adults was striking. Not only did Americans with lower levels of income and education have fewer technology resources and lower levels of confidence in their ability to protect their digital data, but they also expressed heightened sensitivities about a range of overlapping offline privacy and security harms. This helped to illustrate a critical dimension of digital inequality that is often overlooked; the poor must navigate a matrix of privacy and security vulnerabilities in their daily lives — any of which could dramatically upend their financial, professional or social well-being."
