Sorry, but if you run a hipster café with really low couches with really low tables between them, I'm going to put my feet on the table while I read. And if you ask me to stop, I'm going to give you a look dirtier than your mustache.

I need about $400 to crack even so I can get my bills paid in July while I search for jobs. That's the minimum, not even counting the money I need to buy my antidepressants and not go on withdrawal.

I am available for employment if you need a remote graphic artist.

You can also hire me to work on commission. https://commiss.io/rhyspass (if there's something you want that's not listed, I'll come up with a rate for you)

The Occupy movement likewise struggled due to this:

1. They did risk negative consequences
2. When the media distorted and ignored their demands, it broke any effectiveness they could have
3. All they really did was symbolically live in parks. They didn't actually shut down the wall street firms by occupying their buildings. It was a symbolic gesture exclusively as besides Being Kinda Noisy they didn't impede anything.

Justice costs money.

I need $3,500 to beat the criminal and civil charges against me, and $6k to file charges against the officers who assaulted and brutalized me on the 4th.

Please, if you cannot contribute, share here and on other social media.

I prefer LiberaPay:

But, I also have a GoFundMe:

Anything helps.

Meet your local gestapo, PDX edition:

I'd be down to contribute a day of coding a month to a forked Mastodon with a participatory governance model if that helps build an alternative to Gargon's Little-Linus fiefdom. #ForkOff https://medium.com/@cassolotl/i-left-mastodon-yesterday-4c5796b0f548

I'm convinced https://www.remakethelastjedi.com/ is a tongue-in-cheek scam to get money out of buttmad nerds and I really hope it works

US #immigration authorities temporarily close #Portland, #OR #ICE office in the face of strident protests. Good on Stumptown, a city for which I retain , considerable affection, having lived there 9 years https://www.npr.org/2018/06/21/622243400/ice-temporarily-closes-portland-office-amid-tumult-of-protests-across-u-s

From Twitter:

"How to sabotage ICE:
- Film them whenever possible
- Pour sugar on new cement to prevent it from setting
- Pour bleach in ICE vehicle gas tanks
- Knife those fucking ICE tires
- Put a potatoe way up in that exhaust pipe
- If you smash glass do it last"

For the record ICE vans tend to be white and have the DHS emblem on them somewhere, they don't necessarily say "ICE"

Hi #SocialCoop, I'm a PhD student in computer science (doing programming languages research) and some kind of libertarian socialist. I've been living in #Paris for almost a year, but I'm moving back to #Boston soon. I'm new to participating in cooperatives, but have some background in labor activism and organizing.

some assorted interests:
#anarchism
#socialism
#coops
#politics
#ecology
#municipalism
#programminglanguages
#typetheory
#rust
#freesoftware
#RPGs
#tabletop #gaming

#introduction

Many #coop success stories I've read about seem to be about taking root in a community and meeting needs that aren't going away anytime soon: food, houses, childcare, etc.

Can #techcoops ever follow that model? Most tech work uses ephemeral tools to meet transient needs, and tech firms are rootless by default. Are there any meaningful generalizations we can draw from the exceptions?

Guerrilla Gardening - Seed Bombs: A Guide To Their Various Forms and Functions

This country has too many churches and strip malls. They should be replaced with libraries and public gardens.

Archive.org saved the list of every ICE and DHS staff who has it listed on their LinkedIn page:

https://web.archive.org/web/20180619165909/https://antiboredom.github.io/ice-linkedin/

do with this information what you will. I suggest looking up your local officers and excluding them from all public places when you see them
