Queer✨Anarchist Anti-fascist

Direct message

Thats great! I was raised christian, and in my younger years I remember doing stuff like that all the time, but by the time I left christianity and went to college, that volunteer group fell apart, and I don’t believe my old church does that stuff anymore.

The city near me has some churches that let people use their land for community fridges and stuff, but that’s about as far as most christians go near me. That same city does have a radical pacifist christian group that I might reach out to if I start a FNB there, since they organize a ton of pro-Palestine protests.

It’s just I’ve been in christian areas where the people genuinely don’t give a fuck about their neighbors (looking at you, midwestern us), and it’s weird to me that they claim to love jesus but do not engage with his teachings in their life, and only use the hierarchy established by religion for political reasons. Instead, I turned to non-christians for mutual aid

I find it real funny that a food not bombs I used to volunteer at a few years back had no christians in it. Just atheists, pagans, muslims, and jews.

Like, the people who worship Jesus, a person who would love the idea of people making food for the needy, did not participate.

I mean, I might have seen some radical catholics show up if I was living in an area with more catholics, but that wasn’t the case. For whatever reason the only radical (left wing/anti-war) christians I’ve ever met have been deeply catholic.

Have you tried talking with family? I got strong leads from multiple family members.

I met a southerner who speaks in a more northern accent, but sometimes slips into their original southern accent on certain words or when yelling, which happens in the busy kitchen I was working with them in.

It’s pretty funny to have someone behind you shouting about their hot trays of potatoes or about them carrying knives or whatever.

As someone who escaped that hellhole a while back the secret is networking.

I’m a very introverted person who hates small talk and showing off, so it was miserable, but all of the interviews I got, except for one, out of my 250-350 applications were solely from networking. I started going through my contacts and shit, and I was looking at who I knew in the field, or might have connections in it. Worked wonders.

Perfect, deep snow to ice your bruises and broken bones. That’s extremely efficient.

As a fan of early Ulver, I love finding their later shit floating around online. I’d rarely see it otherwise.

Politics is pretty violent, don’t let men in suits with honeyed words fool you.

My cats love to get behind my servers. When I’m running a compute job and the fans spin up my cats scurry over to bask in the heat
