if you’ve ever tried to organize political change irl, you know that broad appeals on social media are a footnote to your real work of spreadsheets, phone calls, knocking on doors, and learning how to meet folks where they’re at & catalyze action. you know you don’t turn out your votes or actions by posting, and you definitely know that insulting people is not persuasive and gives your cause a bad name

viciously blaming all current problems on hypothetical leftists or nonvoters is a big win for fascists: they really want you sitting at your keyboard enraged at your own base or an abstract left wing. because then you’re not out building community with vulnerable people, you’re not having nuanced and intelligent discussion with folk who have different life experiences, you’re not — to put it bluntly — practicing the kind of solidarity that defeats fascism

New research suggests the concentration of CO2 is not only a potential indicator of airborne virus incidence, but that relatively high CO2 concentration helps keep virus particles viable due to pH levels. it id definitely time for that indoor air revolution!

“… we need to understand what is happening to us, systemically, in this age of catastrophe and collapse.

If we confine our political imaginations and analysis to partisan talking points, we are doomed, frankly, because both parties are on trajectories that will ultimately destroy us.

That isn’t an argument against making strategic electoral choices. Because elections do have consequences…” 1/

“… But to reduce electoral politics to good versus evil — which is what a lot of people are demanding, because according to them, advancing any narrative that isn’t good Biden versus evil Trump, is putting democracy at risk — really robs us of any analysis of the age we’re living in.

This is a time of catastrophe and collapse, and both parties are ultimately tasked with maintaining the capitalist system amid that collapse…” 2/

“The manner in which people are sacrificed, excluded, or contained may be different, and the justifications for that violence may be different, but it’s all capitalist end game. That’s what we’re up against, whether we’re on the neoliberal authoritarian track or the fascistic Republican track. Whatever choices we make or don’t make at the ballot box, we have to understand that.”

So, I have the feeling that the #fediverse is a very left-wing dominated space. Let's see if that feeling is correct.

Please boost for reach.

Canoes from around the region arrived in Juneau Tuesday after paddling hundreds of miles

“Leaders on each boat asked permission to come ashore, and Seikoonie Fran Houston, an Áak’w Ḵwáan elder, asked their reason for coming. One paddler who came from Haines answered.

“We’re here for Haa Shagoon, for those before us, and for those yet to come,” he said. “For our kids and our grandchildren on the beaches, so this way of life lives on forever. Aatlein gunalchéesh.”

sadly the era of easy data reference for Covid wastewater levels is over with Biobot taking its Covid graphs away 💔.

I dug into CDCs data and found Alaska (only 3 sites reporting) is above even the US west coast’s recent spike
