If you live in DC (or in MD/VA suburbs) and want to get involved, DM me. If you live elsewhere and want help finding or building a similar org in your location, DM me. I have a lot of opinions about what Free DC is doing so well. It has been the best organizing experience of my life.
@negative12dollarbill I didn't want to write a letter because he was disrespectful about the bodies of some of the dancers. I heard a few comments about their weight out of his mouth and I just didn't like him. So, I think it's not so much a "rich people" thing, but it might be a thing for abusers and their loyal enablers.
@smh @futurebird when I was overseas and absolutely dirt poor, a bunch of likeminded volunteers had a library in the nearest city that did exactly this. The conversations in the margins of The Snow Leopard made it an utterly transformative read—one that otherwise would’ve been very solitary. Strong recommend.
@dzwiedziu I'm sorry for getting a little grouchy, but I don't post things because I know or like the person, so I don't really know anything. It's a good essay. dassit
I delivered the letter in person at his office which was closed and mailed it to him signed. I guess it's time to get serious about finding a new democrat for the primary. He's too far gone.
Made good progress on the tools side, need to work more on the components and materials side. I am not sure what some of this stuff does, but I mean, certainly I could make something cool with it all, right? Some things include, solder, num pad, screens, battery holders, buttons, solar panels, etc.
@fivetonsflax @shabazzstuart It is very strange at minimum. And at this moment, well who can say. Perhaps it is just a strange series of events that really happened. But, why is there a "domestic violence hero" story about the guy who is a notorious lecher? Why don't we know who hit him with a car and why isn't his head of *security* interested in that?Anyway perhap it is nothing.
