May you (re-)discover something you are excited about today. Sonething you enjoy.

- Make things
- Join a coop
- Support decentralization
- Find small businesses and spread the good word

Or, find someone who is on a mission to hate things and focus most of your time and energy on hate. It's up to you.

If you want, you can think about who profits when you choose the latter.

Capitalism is gradually annihilating the integrity of the biosphere. The scientific case for this is indisputable.

Whether it be the emission spectra of common pollutants, the sheer amount of polluting gasses we are putting into the atmosphere, or the billions of dollars our ruling class is putting into denying these facts or their significance.

Not to mention deforestation, micro plastics, the environmental and sociopolitical impacts of mining, the sheer quantity of garbage humanity produces from their packaging waste and difficult to use technological scraps.

We need a new way of distributing resources that is not predicated on growth, capital accumulation, and the unjust domination of one class over another.

ICE officers doxxed by antifa, anarchists in Portland, DHS says

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem also said trash has been dumped on the front lawn of an officer's property but the location was not disclosed.

"There are no technological solutions to social problems" is far too simplistic. The reality is, some social problems are downstream of technological problems, some technological problems are downstream of social problems, and some problems are irreducibly both social and technological.
@CharlotteEowyn bioessentialism is essentially the belief that everyone is born with a fixed set of traits (including “sex”) and cannot change them

while bioessentialism generally says sex = gender, the trans bioessentialism in takes i see generally takes the form of assuming there is an
essential difference to an AMAB vs AFAB person and their experiences never overlap (in any valuable way), assuming there is an essential nature to “woman” and “man” or “femininity” and “masculinity” as genders and opposites (or whatever descriptor; instead of/in substitute to sexes in bioessentialism), things like that

this is of course not saying people don’t have different experiences of the world nor that “man” and “woman” don’t exist as gender identities, but these ways of posing and opposing them as essentials is bioessentialist and does not capture the nuance in the world nor in trans experience

An article about going to an ICE recruitment job fair. It's a horrifying mix of people, as diverse as the USA. You can smell the rot of empire across the globe.

Those recruits are unambiguously, taking an action equivalent to joining the Gestapo, out of boredom of their meaningless suburban lives.

But anyone whose life was shattered by the US empire could already recount the banality of that evil for decades. Just ask any Iraqi you meet today.
