Capitalists will swarm San Francisco for APEC, but I got there first.

I use a projector to paint buildings with light. If you live near SF, join up with orgs protesting billionaires stealing our future.
- Cool beans! What kind of software do you like to use to cue up the images?
  
  Most of the projections are not geometry-critical so I think it’s just about projector placement and adjustment.
  What's more interesting: what projector is it and how is it powered? It’s crazy bright for a portable setup.
  Also, did you write this?
  Please post more photos on the Fediverse rather than Twitter or Instagram.
- I love it!

What are the hashtags for? Is that Twitter stuff? The idea is cool, and it's awesome that you're doing something. I do think it would be cooler if you posted your website address. A lot of people don't use Twitter, and it's run by a harmful mega billionaire.
- Hashtags work on a wide range of platforms and double as search terms. It probably sticks in the mind of the average passerby better than website and gets people to your message about as well overall.
  
  Yeah. They existed before Twitter too.
- Yes, the hashtags are for the poor souls who use other social sites. Here is a link for more info on APEC. https://ilpsusinfo.wordpress.com/no2apec/
  
  Thanks!
- i don’t see it
  
  Don't see what?

Is apec Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation? Or is it referring to a different acronym?
Edit: found this https://www.apec2023sf.org/

I'm glad to see some exposure, but I can't help but feel the message is misfocused; lMO Solarpunk is about which actions to take not just saying "yeah me and all my homies hate XZY".
Its much easier to get people to agree on an action, like right to repair, see the benefit, and then draw their own ideological conclusion. Its much more welcoming and positive than than jumping straight to "my conclusion is good, you should hate XYZ with me"
- I don’t think it is true that it is easier for people to agree on action compared to uniting against a common oppressor. Something cutting is often more attention grabbing. But it isn’t an either or. We should use both positive and negative messaging to grow the movement.
