What makes you feel a weird sensation of stillness?
  • I hear you. It's hard to escape the anxiety though. It's not just the news. It's watching myself be erased as a trans person, losing my health insurance etc.

    Paying attention to the news is one way I try to know what's coming down the pipe.

    But yeah, I could use a break.

  • What makes you feel a weird sensation of stillness?
  • Remembering that Nazis are people too. And that they will bleed when you punch them.

    On a more serious note, not a lot right now to be honest.

    Remembering to connect with nature I suppose. Breathing through the fear of fascism.

  • More Americans approve of Trump than Biden on every issue, poll finds
  • It's a disengenuous poll imo

    Penn was a chief strategist and pollster in the Hillary Clinton 2008 presidential campaign. Penn later became a defender of Donald Trump, opposing his impeachment, consulting on his 2020 presidential campaign, and alleging a "deep state" conspiracy against him.

  • Talk of a "Feb 28 Economic Blackout" is spreading on social media. What is it?
  • I often do do that. And prefer to order from the manufacturer when possible.

    However, there are expensive niche items that are very difficult to find other places and that are prone to damage in shipping due to their bulk, and the other places you can find them have shit return policies or extremely high markups. Because they are manufactured in China, shipped here and then relabeled.

    Don't assume other people are lazy because you don't see their point of view.

    I used it when I needed it, I got sucked into the convenience and I use it more than I like, I was planning on stopping anyway as my account is about to expire. March 7th gives me a good excuse to do it.

    Please be civil, don't tell people they're lazy. I get we're all outraged but let's not target each other.

  • Talk of a "Feb 28 Economic Blackout" is spreading on social media. What is it?
  • Yeah, that's the boat I'm in. Or was. I now have the expensive niche items I needed that return policy on, but got sucked back in due to convenience.

    Cheap student prime account is expiring soon anyway, so I thought Marc 7th would be a good quit date.

  • Mutual aid spam is becoming a problem on the Fediverse.
  • Again, the phone and the service, at least, when I was homeless in 2019, was covered along with other social services such as SNAP and Medicaid.

    And again, I completely agree about not handing money out online. Just disagreeing about homeless folks having accessibility to a phone or the internet. And Public libraries or anywhere with wifi (if you have a phone) are other options.

  • Talk of a "Feb 28 Economic Blackout" is spreading on social media. What is it?
  • Perhaps it wasn't an issue for the company you worked for. A large distributor may only have so much room in their warehouse, and expect inventory to clear in order to receive shipments that are due. Peaches can rot. Etc.

    I mean, you're right it's going to be a drop in the bucket overall. But it is a beginning.

    And the more folks who participate, the bigger that drop is going to be
