"I don’t have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad, "
This post is just asking: So, what are you doing about it?
Some examples from the past week:
- Being active and involved in my worker union (we’ve had a few recent wins).
- Attending and promoting rallies and counter-rallies for various causes.
- Cantributing to tactical discussions in political party meetings.
- Small financial donations to various causes (both social and political).
- Reducing my food and plastic waste.
Doing org work (albeit light for now, hoping to increase next year).
Just trying to keep my head above water for the most part.
Trying to pass along kindness hoping it continues to be passed along.
And voting for the good guys in every election.
And avoiding the worst privacy offenders in tech where I can because I care about that too.
Trying to get a bit stronger and more ready for whatever awful thing every day. Activism with political parties and politicians that can potentially win, although that still feels like trying to piss out a forest fire.
I think about how things could get worse, how I could prepare. But in the end I conclude the uncertainty is great. Interesting times.
