I now realize this is an ancient meme format and I can't find the original reference anymore.

getting arrested on a shaky migratory status is quite a risk. most of the people we're seeing in the streets are not undocumented: they're neighbors, families, regular ass american citizens. right wingers can't have this.

solidarity is an incredibly dangerous idea. imagine if others were willing to fight for a minority's rights.

I feel like a lot of the protest advice I see is very good but it assumes you will get gassed, kettled, arrested or targeted for arrest later. the vast majority of people will hopefully go, wave a sign around, see their neighbors for a while, and then go home early. THE VAST MAJORITY. don't be scared.

If you're scared to go to a protest tomorrow, you should know the ones that are organized in advance and become very big are unlikely to be dangerous early on. probably lots of families, dogs, strollers, old people. there's a moment when those start clearing out. If you want, you can peace out right then and there. keep an eye on it!

in the beginning you will see large TV crews with vans and dishes and anchors doing live broadcasts from the sidewalk. at some point those start to clear out, and you're only left with the odd camera person and the photojournalists. maybe that's your time to head home. up to you!

IMO don't listen to anyone with a megaphone, trust your situational awareness. do you feel comfortable? what are other people doing? what are cops doing? if you had to leave right now, what's your plan? etc.

anyway for the vast majority of people going to a protest is a good experience. you can say "I'll be there for an hour" and then go. you will find a lot of energy and community and release from isolation and despair. no one knows what's going to happen ever (of course) but generally going out there is worth it.

I wonder how the people who invented the microwave felt about us nuking everything at 100% power, ignoring all other settings

my coworker is teaching her cat to play a tiny piano and ride a skateboard and honestly I can't think of a better life goal in the current situation we are all facing

next time someone tells me the solution to all my problems is to install linux I'm going to make them come to my office and provide linux tech support for the lawyers.

for what's left of the lawyers, because half of them would probably quit.

I think many of you don't understand how hard computers are for people. my writer friend's computer died and he had no money, and all I had at hand was a pretty nice lenovo thinkpad with ubuntu. he was so overwhelmed he gave it back the next day. not even for free.

you're asking people to do a thing they have no interest in doing at all. nobody likes computers like we do. that's ok, because I've never wanted to figure out how to fix a car in the slightest, I don't give a shit about how it works, I don't even want to put gas in it. I just want to drive it as easily as possible. please never make me drive a complicated car.

i want to be excited about computering again and I feel like the only way to do that is to make little things by hand.

i hear the racists are mad about the actress chosen to play Helen of Troy. but how mad are they? are they willing to go to battle for this? say, launch a thousand ships?
