Food. I’m making just enough to get my bills paid, but I’ve been eating ramen and Mac and cheese for around a year. I just want to be able to have food in the fridge/cupboard. It’s getting so fucking tiring to never have basic necessities to work so fucking hard to keep my bank account in the negative. I’m so fucking depressed.

Now that I’m done venting, I would absolutely love to be able to get some gifts for my brothers and sisters but it just doesn’t look like it’ll be feasible this year.

You won’t regret it. Safety razors, and if you decide to, straight razors are far superior. I used a safety razor for a few years and then decided to get a Dovo straight razor and I love it.

Hence the “keep fighting”.

Find a way to resist. Join local leftist groups. Focus on mutual aid, further educate yourself and educate others. Resistance can come in the smallest forms and they’re all important.

Keep your head up and keep fighting.

Popular Front’s publications are very good. Conflict Journalism at its best.

Wait, is this not standard practice?

I’ve always organized media files this way; I index my music similarly.

Kemasabe! I love that channel!

My dad had The Blues Brothers on VHS. I used to watch it ALL the time. I’ve seen it upwards of 100 times. It is still one of my favorite movies of all time. When I was a kid 95% of it went over my head, but as an adult, it’s just so good.

I’ve been using Transit to get around the DC Metro area for a few years now. It’s pretty damn helpful and reliable. Sometimes they’re not accurate (buses don’t show up in their system, or are in the system, but never show at the stop) but I expect that with public transit.

Either way, it’s the best app I’ve found (for this area at least).

One of the candidates from the major parties will win. Period. One will gleefully do what he can to accelerate the genocide in Gaza and the West Bank. Israel has said they’re not concerned with Iran, and they shouldn’t be with all the weapons the west sends them.

Harris is currently the VP and can’t just openly go against the administration she is serving in and therefore is in a tough spot, I’d imagine. Do I think Harris will commit to a weapons blockade or any sort of immediate solution? Absolutely not.

I do, however, think that Harris will 100% be more open to measures to bring about a ceasefire through pressuring Netanyahu and the Israeli state. That’s the choice.

Nobody in US politics has a chance to stop the genocide instantaneously. That’s the fact. Nobody that will be elected can do that. Harris, I believe, will be far more open to measures that will bring about change.

Is there a perfect option? There never is.

I accidentally deleted my comment when I went to edit it. My apologies.

Miriam Adelson is one of the Trump campaign’s chief financiers. She pledged the Trump campaign in the neighborhood of $100m to support Israel’s annexation of the West Bank. That would be direct acceleration of the genocide.

Adelson previously donated close to $100m to Trump support moving the embassy back to Tel Aviv, which Trump gleefully supported.

Isn’t it dihydrogen monoxide?

The dislike for Trump crosses party affiliation and traditional right/left dichotomies. That is to say that there are A LOT of Republicans that dislike Trump and don’t see him as an ally, or see him as quite the opposite, in fact.

Thank you.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you’re saying, but I don’t get any of that from your linked article. It clearly says, in the article you linked that Israel has openly said the return of the hostages will not end the war. It also says the Israelis didn’t attend the meeting in which this agreement was reached and they were contacted within the hour.

It sounds a lot like Bibi and Gallant want only want to finish the Nakba

I went to a small private Christian high school too. Our Junior year we did a “college tour” to check out Christian Colleges. We visited Bob Jones, and I was blown away. That place is fucking wild. I’m glad I settled on Penn State in the long run.

Some more I thought of, by no means a comprehensive list though. Just what I’ve read on the subject that appealed to me as I was studying anarchism as a political philosophy.

Statism and Anarchy by Mikhail Bakunin

Anarcho-syndicalism: Theory and Practice by Rudolf Rocker

Mutual Aid by Kropotkin

Trotsky discusses anarchism in Marxism and Ararchism

Nestor Makhno has some interesting writings

Chomsky is good

Émile Armand has some good writings on Individualist Anarchism (he’s very anti-conflict though, which I tend to disagree with)

Lastly, something I would strongly recommend if you’re new to anarchist thought and philosophy is Anarchism: Arguments For and Against by Albert Meltzer.

I am leaving out tons of great writings and writers/philosophers/theorists (and theories)/poets/etc…

There is a lot out there. Let me know if you have any questions!
