Does anyone have any experience writing bills to be pitched to a TX Legislative sponsor?

Because they've had to. Black folks have worked hard over the past 200 yrs to develop strong social structures to train and support each other in activism.

We're too busy enjoying our privilege, I guess.

Who are we voting in for Texas Lt Governor in 2026?

YEP

How about:
- Texas Work Visa program for infrastructure in counties under 50k- energy, transportation, housing, medical construction.
- Rural Repopulation program, supporting residents in a move from any county to one under 50k. Free transpo and tiny housing supported by Texas Work Visa program.

71% of Texas counties have a population under 50k. Most of those have little to no medical care options.

How about:
- legalize weed in Texas, but sold only in counties under 50k population, who's residents approve in a vote
- fund training for medical professionals of all types who commit to working in a medical cooperative (like farm co-ops) in a county with a pop under 50k for 4 years or more.

These people are clowns. Can we have a clown protest/news conference where we dress up like them and say the shit they're saying and invite the news?

Been saying this for years!

Sometimes people are with me enough to see how sad I am most of the time, and they worry.

Sometimes sadness is right tho.

Connect with life around you -there's lots to be sad about right now.

I'd rather have my heart be torn out, stabbed, and eaten daily than whatever other humans are doing.

Have you read David Graeber/ David Wengrows "The Dawn of Everything?"

Unfortunately, y'all, the human does not truly learn until it fucks around and finds out.

They're gonna break worldwide currency and send us to a local-credit model faster than any anarchists could.

I bet you *could* pay someone for that.

I'm curious about people's perspectives, currently.

I'm wondering if our community has space for any kind of tools that looks like restorative justice.

Can we provide guidelines for fuckups that help them to grow/improve, while also helping them recognize some people will never give their trust?

What would acts of remorse look like to you?

What actions (or time/distance/etc) would you want from a person in your community who fucked up (even repeatedly) before accepting them back into spaces you control?

Under what circumstances would you never accept this person back?

Did you ever fuck up and lose friends/community over it?

Yeah but they can't or won't snuggle me, they don't count.

Get on my calendar! I work from home so can cowork many daytimes. I also have some availability on weekends and rare times after 9 on weekdays.

Little energy to write into the void anymore. For what purpose? To what end?

Trying to make broader changes means always failing alone. Can't even work directly and leave my kid and disabled partner without care.

So I'll post where ever and pretend it's useful, and pretend I'm not still alone.

Just make a bot?
