    fortunately there is plenty of work to harness worry to usefulness. whatever your skills, I’m sure local chapters of progressive and human rights groups could appreciate the support. even just using whatever privledge you have to shut down racist or sexist jokes and denormalizing exclusive-supremacist comments and behavior helps hold the line.

    uh someone link those fight the altright videos ig. the lecture has already been done with cool production.

      Very true… putting worry to work is both constructive and cuts down on the worry. I think I’m just outta steam today.

        good job recognizing your limitations. no use burning out. these things generally work best in baby steps over weeks. more like gardening than a ball game. (we can play ball games on breaks though, of course)

        honestly, the simple advice isn’t always easy. it’s just better than internment camps/prison expansion.

        I just get up in the morning because FOSS is beautiful.

        Thanks for engaging.
