Sir Rochard 'Dock' BunsonGonna keep this one in my back pocket for my redneck quisling brethren.
Where my other #RedStateInsurgents at?
Leftist LawyerWhat's the vibe in your hood these days @redstateinsurgents ???
I started this group a couple years back now. If you're a #leftist in a red U.S. state, come join the fun. All you have to do is follow and you'll be notified when someone posts using the @ above.
I think we all have plenty in common to talk about.
And remember, it's your guppe, not mine.

@johnbrowntypebeats I like to point out whenever relevant that in much of the Appalachians, especially in East TN, the Confederacy wasn't universally supported.
Most importantly, the Appalachian Mountains are a great location to launch a guerilla insurgency from.

We've fought this shit before and we'll do it again.
Now seems like a great time to mention a couple of organizations that are going to need additional help to meet the need.
Rainbow Railroad & PFLAG
https://www.rainbowrailroad.org
"We help at-risk LGBTQI+ people get to safety.
In countries around the world, LGBTQI+ people face violence and oppression simply because of who they love or who they are. We help them get to safety."
#PFLAG has local chapters throughout the country and provide resources & community to parents of LGBTQ+ kids. I have participated in one of their zoom calls before & they are doing great work.

Georgia Attorney General Says Election Board Is Operating Outside Its Authority
The board, with a new right-wing majority, is set to consider new election rules just 45 days before the election.

Just one more thing before you go. ๐ This is all besides the fact that >1/2 of the time they're not thinking about & reacting to you at all. They got shit going on, too.
The other personal insight I think I've had is that I may have accidentally developed empathy by figuring out ways not to trigger this phenomenon.
By intuiting what aspect of the model they had of me was true, so that I could lean into that and some of the potential friction in the relationship. The simplest version of this that I can think of is shared hobbies & interests but the reason and mechanism are in the previous posts.
This concludes (probably) your #Antifaganda of the day. โ๏ธ

It doesn't even have to be anything weird or gross. The effect is apparent as long as you suddenly don't fit into their model of you they've constructed from assumptions.
It could be something as simple as being an intelligent person with a country-ass accent. Or a logical scientist that's also interested in things without even the possibility of empirical proof.
A more common example would probably be being progressive in the South or a rural area.
Either way, it has nothing to do with you and everything to do with their preconceptions about you & the effort required to "reprogram your model".
This has been your #Antifaganda of the day. โ๏ธ

To my friends that boost the very real and very dire mutual aid needs that I post, I see you & I appreciate you. 
If you don't normally read or boost mutual aid posts because you're unsure of their validity but do it anyways, I appreciate that too.
If anyone is still unsure of @SabiLewSounds truthfulness and need, I am happy to assuage any doubts. I first "met" Sabi 9 or 10 months ago when @venya invited me to an Owncast performance she was doing with #RadioFreeFedi. I got to enjoy multiple weeks of the Sabi coffeehouse. Complete with a chat window with fellow fediverse music fans. It really was special!
Then getting evicted and losing most of her possessions and security ruined that. ๐ช
Need some more receipts? Months of discord conversations & communication about her working on the antifascist audio collage album I've been trying to finish this whole year?

EMERGENCY HOUSING SUPPORT
This is an EMERGENCY FUNDRAISING ASK for this month Our goal is $8529 by Oct 1st $2600 Hotel $50 Phone $530 Car $300 Food, Gas & Toiletries $1855 June Deficit $1994 July Deficit $1200 August Deficit Ultimately we would like to get into stable housing that isnโt so expensive, but for now this is what we need to survive our housing crisis. We also are seeking stability and have a fundraiser going via GoFundMe that is more of a longer term solution to our housing crisis. LONGER EXPLANATION: In March of 2024, my mother and I were evicted and our lives were thrown into chaos. Hi, Iโm Sabi (@SabiLewSounds on all platforms) and I am a disabled multidisciplinary artist who is the sole caretaker for my elderly mother who is also disabled and struggling with dementia. Like so many other people we were living one crisis away from the edge. Our crisis came in Jan 2023 when I lost my only source of income and our housing became unstable. Since then my mother and I have been living in emergency housing paying for a hotel one week at a time. At a rate 3X times than our previous rent rates increase in August. Everyday, I am emergency fundraising for our housing, our food, our car. You can fund our stability by subscribing to my Kofi https://ko-fi.com/sabilewsounds Or by funding our GoFundMe for Stability https://gofund.me/8cf27443
