I spent a good few hours cataloguing media, artwork, and paperwork. I need to get everything organised before I start decorating.

More importantly, I need to be happy with furniture placement before decorating, because I need to know where all the artwork is going.

I emptied shelves, moved around furniture, and started putting things away when the life just drained out of me. I felt entirely useless, fed up, defeated. I was doing something nice but my body and brain both said: "Hey, Book. We're not doing this today."

So, I've been in a funk all evening with a mess still in the living room.

How To Be A (Better) Organizer in 2026

Given what is going on in the world, #silentSunday is destined to increasingly become an act of #radicalselflove. Switch off the #news and enjoy #breathing. Enjoy #hereandnow, the very underrated only #truth there is. And yes, eventually you can go into #organising, campaigning, advocating later in the week. But for now, enjoy being. If you must DO rather than BE, try #crafts, the #arts. Something to give the world the colours you want to see. Because no one else is going to do that for you.

one of my favourite anarchist comrades is #PeterGelderloos who has written countless books, zines & articles & works his arse off travelling around #organising #educating & building a free world for everyone.

here's his latest article on the oppression of languages by oppressive #authorities like #france , the country my ancestors have most likely been oppressed by in centuries passed..

@stefan commenters seem to be upset about a high profile account that was suspended arbitrarily, any idea who? In a way, glad my time isn't sucked up in #Bluesky politics, because that would have been time I wouldn't have spent IRL #organising (litterally). More and more grateful to the Fedi every day

.. there will be nowhere to run, best advice i can give you is stay & defend yourself & your community & if you are able, join the fightback, #educate yourself on #SelfDefence #prepping #organising & effective #resistance. learn about #sabotage #MassBoycotts & starting a #CommunityDefenceForce.

support local, independent businesses, look after your neighbours & vulnerable groups in society & your self.
