I want to introduce a new hashtag, meant for small acts of direct action you spot in your community: #OurStreets. It could be graffiti, stickers, supplies left for your houseless neighbors, hostile architecture being dismantled - whatever, as long as you're *not* the one who did it
And to kick it off, let me introduce you to the building formerly known as Walli's Market. I don't know much about this place other than what it says on the signs (it was a convenience store in the middle of a neighborhood) - it's been in this state as long as I've lived here. It doesn't appear to have been broken into at any point
Outside is the biggest community library I've ever seen plus a smattering of stickers, including these huge art pieces on the outside of the windows (I don't like the conflation of empathy with kindness, it's a bit of an ableist microagression, but I appreciate the sentiment)
I wish I could meet whoever made this their pet project, because this is really inspiring
@scottishwobbly Since I know you post the stickers you see anyway, here's a hashtag you can use for them lol
@socalledunitedstates #OurStreets
Update on Walli's (Really Really Free) Market: within the past couple weeks, a bench, a clothing rack, and a small box for donating shoes have all been left at the store! Sharing spaces are rad y'all!!!
@socalledunitedstates For convenience, the link written on top of the bench is http://libreobjet.org/objects/uhbench/project.html
@ruehrtofu Hast du diesen Toot ^ gesehen und mal auf den Hashtag geklickt? Da sind lauter Sticker :)
@socalledunitedstates
meanwhile over here in fucksville louisiana we have Infowars stickers on power boxes.
@leah Here in Fucksville, Alabama I took the initiative to tear the infowars stickers off a nearby power box ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@socalledunitedstates me and my mom are planning to spraypaint trans rights over it
