But also it’s a proud punk rock tradition to say “fuck off, you corporate shit, we’re going to protect our people” 😤

Right, punk doesn’t stop moving just cuz you did

Oh my god his complaint that a venue, “especially a punk rock venue,” would take a stance against bigotry, is wild. So he also knows nothing about punk rock, then.

Wait yeah we… we don’t want more teen births, correct? I thought??

Storytime – The Worst Organizing Meeting I've Attended YouTube video by Afterwords

We're bringing the second channel back. I cut this lil story from the previous video but it's on the same topic... how organizing efforts can explode if we're not being considerate of one another 😅

Come hang & lemme tell ya about one very frustrating meeting 🙃

Wait am I not subscribed to myself lol

But postmortems are a component of improving 🤷‍♀️ hopefully telling this story with a bit of exasperation/humor doesn't, like, unduly paint anyone in a negative light.

I was SO conflicted about making this video, btw. It doesn't feel good to talk about things that did NOT go well – like I might scare people away from organizing. Or like I'm not being sensitive to my comrades whose behavior has not always been... my favorite.

Change-Makers: "Nobody Wants To Be A Villager" YouTube video by Afterthoughts

✨🎥 NEW – Change-Makers: "Everybody Wants A Village" (Nobody Wants To Be A Villager)

A look at the main reason I see organizations fall apart: a lack of peer support. And how easy it is to give that support 😀 (Many examples from my life that felt good to get into 😅)

Hahahahahaha

Literally anyone who follows anyone who follows me needs to watch this video if only to see the payoff to this message Sam sent me a couple of weeks ago

🐦
💪💪

Everyone should watch this because we need to be doing this but selfishly, I need y'all to see the birds with arms. I love them so much.

I did a tiny writeup on Patreon – my thoughts about making content during a period of continuing and worsening global tragedy. It's brief but... yeah. Idk. It's weird being alive.

The most fun is when people at the gym ask “what happened? meniscus? ACL?)

and I get to say “no I had my tibias and femurs cut off and put back on :)”

2 months after femoral osteotomy. Still not allowed to use the leg but 🙃

(but this is the only activity that makes the screaming in my brain stop 🌻💖)

Q & A Stream YouTube video by Afterthoughts

Gonna be chilling and answering a few questions I've been getting, like "what are the logistics of living nomadically?" and "how do I start organizing when I've never tried it?"

Change-Makers: How To Become Fearless YouTube video by Afterthoughts

Wonderful video by @afterthoughts.bsky.social about building up your own strength and experience in resistance action. The very end is a powerful call to action that is frank and emboldening.

"Be the person in public that you are in your mind."

youtu.be/zavx4Obq1OI?...

Oh god 😅 to our own ends, like… equity. And safety. And respect. How terrible.

Wait this actually so inspiring lol

Sam's recent output is like a warm blanket and a call to action at the same time.

Everything can be alright, if we make it alright.

If you are still figuring the WHAT you're going to do after deciding on your Rubicon, or HOW you're going to go about it - do I have the video for you.

Just watch it! You should be thinking about this in your daily life.

Well holy fucking shit. Ring cancelled their partnership with Flock. Keep pressure on them to stop volunteering their feeds to state, local, and federal agencies, though, because that part's still going.

I never want to be like, "fuck you, stop telling people to learn" 😂 but we know that's not what is being said!
