Hi. I was @mikeburns because I wanted to try Mastodon and it was the only server.
I have been informed that there are more servers now.
Awoo.

This Independence Day, remember the native people who have suffered but preserved and survived for all these years despite our government's best efforts:
Donate to the Navajo Nation Covid-19 relief fund (both money and supplies, like homemade cloth masks!):
http://www.nndoh.org/donate.html
Support native owned businesses:
http://www.beyondbuckskin.com/p/buy-native.html?m=1
Donate to the Black Hills Bail and Legal Defense Fund:
https://bhlegalfund.org/
Don't just decry America, help support and bring about its future
Long story, but I have a small collection of unopened, unexpired food that I would like to donate. Can anyone in #nyc recommend an organization or mutual aid group that would accept this?
Central Brooklyn Food Coop is finally happening! Help them get started with this Kickstarter π
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cbfoodcoop/meet-the-central-brooklyn-food-coop?ref=8b9pn5
They're by and for a mostly black community, and are going to be working to improve the links between regional farms and the city. Big ambitions for a food coop, and a welcome alternative to the often-less-revolutionary Park Slope Food Coop.
We still doing #carePunk?
While I'm still grading some of the pins I think I've got plenty of good ones to put it up in the shop! https://www.hellovoid.online/product/doot-soft-enamel-pin
Graceless, anarcho-goth zine
I finally read issue 1 of Graceless, the anarcho-goth zine from 2011. They addressed the rise and fall of DIY, recommended radical goth bands, and called out the misogyny of the goth scene.
> we demand that the goth scene be more than a black-clad reflection of mainstream society
so! a new project i'm working on is a #MastoTips guide!
i've got the basics down, and i'm still organizing a little and formatting
i will continue to add as i go, and you can suggest things or add them yourself (esp for things i don't use/don't know about) as long as you're not a doink about it
you can also suggest guides/things to include at the end
