@MatryoshkaLimit someone who maybe would have bought a new one and suddenly has a flood of good used ones to buy! this hurts Tesla’s revenue stream (where Elon is vulnerable) and effectively shuffles the brand over to people who are comfortably being identified with a Nazi
i don't personally recommend this form get flooded with bad faith entries, that would make it hard for staff to use and ruin the whole plan here, which is apparently to have a safe space to turn in your neighbors who teach diversity, equity and inclusion
we really can't overstate the degree to which period havers are gaslit about mental health throughout their lives and especially through perimenopause and menopause. this shows up socially, in relationships, and in the workplace. navigating menopause without holistic health guidance (i.e. most of us) causes us to experience hormonal changes as unrelated personal defects. so often this feels like we are failing, it's debilitating and insidious
car culture is a kind of bridge from frontier mythology to modern American fascism. it has been the mandatory daily training ground for hundreds of millions of people to imagine their freedom alone matters, it’s everyone else who is the dick or going too goddamn slow or cutting them off. the personal car is a paragon of false individualism, a box in which freedom so often means hating everyone around you https://mastodon.green/@CiaraNi/110558312498937258
it’s a gentle slope with many side trails you can stop and walk on and one bike/hike trail that goes down to the ocean. coastal redwoods are the tallest organisms on earth and very little old growth survived US capitalism, so cycling through those towering beings with no cars anywhere is incredible, total highlight of my winter travels
camping in this park is fun because first Saturday of the month they close an 8 mile scenic hwy through old growth coastal redwood forest to cars, and it becomes an idyllic towering forest carnival of bikes, kids, skates, trikes etc
this google doc above might be a resource if you are feeling lonely where you live in regard to hanging out with people who share your values and want to push back against fascism.
it shares a model for a community group that is working well where i live, but also points to lists of resources i find very helpful in this moment
also, there's a link to a signal chat i started for folks to get supported who are new to organizing
after the election, we started a "Friends and Neighbors" organizing group in my town that has been a great way to connect, find support, & share actions in these times. folks keep asking to join from out of the area, so i drafted a guide to starting one for your community!
1. Install a CEO Dictator 2. Purge the Bureaucracy 3. Build a Loyalist Army 4. Dismantle Democratic Institutions 5. Seize Media and Information Control to Maintain Power
240 people out in Petersburg, Alaska (pop 3000) today to support federal workers! we’ve lost ten workers so far and locals are feeling pretty devastated, but organizing to fight back ✊🏼
