Something happened to me over the course of the past few years.
I went from holding a deep sense of hope about the future and our ability to fundamentally change our material conditions through uniting, organizing, and supporting one another... to feeling utterly hopeless.
This transition has been eye opening in many ways. The human brain is tricky, and I've noticed how this hopelessness has changed the way I think, without me prompting it to.
Whereas the current events of the day and the general state of the world used to live in the forefront of my mind, they have since been buried somewhere I have to search to find. I feel so out of touch sometimes.
This may sound strange, but the more I speak with other people, the more I realize I'm not the only one experiencing this. I think many of us are in a state of dissociation, freeze, and numbness.
We are on autopilot.
Our minds are protecting us from the onslaught of negative, terrifying, horrible, unbelievable, and getting worse by the day news. One can only hold so much at once.
I believe this is part of the plan. When everyone is on autopilot, then no one can act. Or plan. Or be present. Or use their critical thinking skills all that well. It's like flipping a switch and turning millions of lights off at once.
But I don't want to exist in the dark. None of us do. And I don't have all of the answers on getting myself or anyone else back to a place of light and hope.
I think the first step is to talk about it. I know I'm not alone and you aren't either. Maybe if enough of us share these experiences with one another and admit where we are at, we can figure out how to move forward.

@77BB4V @TheCensoredRock @SpecialOlympics @KamalaHarris The song is actually anti-homophobia if you know the story .

@TheCensoredRock @SpecialOlympics @KamalaHarris Notice the original version of “Money for Nothing” by Dire Straits is missing some key versus.

Noah strapped on his $180 Nike Air Jordans this morning—manufactured by Taiwanese contractors paying workers $2.68 per hour—and felt the revolutionary fire burning in his chest.
9:15 am: Posted "ACAB" from his iPhone 14 Pro. Apple's $3 trillion market cap makes it the most valuable corporation in human history, but Jake needed those extra camera features for protest documentation. The lithium in his battery came from Bolivian salt flats, where mining operations displaced indigenous Quechua communities. But Evo Morales opposed American imperialism, so the math works out somehow.
11:30 am: Grabbed his usual oat milk latte ($6.50) from the local coffee collective. The beans traveled 4,200 miles from a Guatemalan cooperative that pays farmers $1.20 per pound while Starbucks charges $12 per pound retail. Jake tipped $2 on his Square reader because workers deserve dignity. The collective's owner graduated from Wharton and drives a Tesla Model S.
2:45 pm: Bought a new black hoodie from an "ethical" streetwear brand. Cotton sourced from Xinjiang province, where the Chinese state apparatus runs the world's largest forced labor program. But the company's Instagram bio says "Anti-Fascist" and donates 2% of profits to local bail funds, so Jake felt good about the purchase. The hoodie cost $85. A Hanes equivalent costs $12.
7:20 pm: Ordered Thai delivery through DoorDash while ranting about gig economy exploitation. The driver earned $3.47 after expenses for a 45-minute round trip. Jake rated him five stars and added a $4 tip, then posted about dismantling capitalism on his $1,200 MacBook Air.
The beautiful irony: every single transaction Jake made today strengthened the exact system he claims to oppose. But he measured his day by his stated intentions, not by where his dollars actually flowed.

@mnolangray @YIMBYLAND It’s probably already meeting code if it’s met international…
Submit the plans and seems ?

The US should be overhauling and standardizing our building codes to allow this sort of development. The latter is key: to build quality at scale and affordability, you need standardized codes.

8 days to complete a 4 story, eight unit, courtyard building with timber prefab kit. That's one interesting detail I took away from a FASCINATING meeting today with an Austrian prefab company.

@GeriPerna The MONEY itself changed.

When I worked at Macy's back in the 80's, people who worked there raised families on what they made. It was their career. I remember the guy in electronics retired after 30 years, and my boss in the cash office did the same. The guys who worked in the suit department did very well for themselves. Despite that, the store profited greatly every year, and we were given a beautiful Christmas party in appreciation. What changed in this country? When did it become nearly impossible to support oneself at a job that didn't require a degree or technical school?

@Cr7Godbrand Most of them too young to be fully matured in the brain..
So no not by choice .. they don’t know what they are choosing half the time ..

RIP to the man whose work challenged a common lie and assumption about women being forced into the porn industry.
his creation proves that, when given the choice and opportunity, many women will choose to enter the prostitution industry voluntarily…Despite having no barriers to
education or voting, and in many cases enjoying more rights and privileges than men And they are mostly supported by other women who frame these choices as “freedom” and “sexual liberation.”

@MorganHousley1 What about the women making the content? (The ones who freely choose to?)
English

🚨 Do you understand what just happened..
the owner of OnlyFans just died at 43.. Leonid Radvinsky.. the man made $3 billion off a platform where other people sell themselves..
he took 20% of every transaction.. every video.. every message.. every tip.. while creators fought algorithms and chargebacks and deplatforming threats just to make rent.. he sat at the top collecting a cut of their bodies.. and everyone called him a "tech founder"..
the man wasn't a tech founder.. he was the most successful middleman in history..
and the wildest part.. OnlyFans was profitable from day one.. no VC money.. no IPO.. because when your business model is taking a fifth of what someone earns from their own skin.. you don't need investors.. you need creators desperate enough to not ask questions..
he had $3 billion and still couldn't beat cancer at 43.. what exactly are we all racing toward.
