at this point when I read free palestine or see a watermelon emoji in someone's bio I go "are you free palestine as in innocent gazan civilians don't deserve to be massacred and peace is the solution to the conflict or are you free palestine as in hamas are freedom fighters and the solution is getting rid of the isnotrealis". I wish I had the power to instantly know which one it is so I know whether I'm looking at a person who wants me dead or not.

I hope this wave of of strikes pushes the veterinary industry to unionise. As corporations like VCA and Banfield (both owned by MARS, yes the chocolate company) continue to buy out independent clinics, the industry is shifting away independent businesses founded and owned by DVMs to corporate franchises.
Working conditions in the industry have been abysmal for years. But everyone working under the same company + significant staff shortages (in canada both DVM and RVT positions typically take 6+ months to fill according to a report by the CVMA) does provide opportunity both for community-building and an advantage for bargaining or, if necessary, striking. Staff are not easily replaced.
We all know we're being overworked and underpayed. It's time to fucking do something about it. Talk about your wages with your coworkers, make sure you're being reimbursed for overtime, see if you're getting enough vacation days. Find out what you want and take it.
Some clinics have already unionized, I hope more will soon.

February 2014 (text from Mat Oxley's The Valentino Rossi Files: Everything I've ever written about VR: From 2008 to now):
During the winter the nine-time champ spent more time than usual thrashing round his dirt track ranch, keeping himself mentally and physically sharp and getting used to a motorcycle moving around beneath him. He knows that Marc Marquez’s ability to ride on the ragged edge with a more muscular, more sideways style is changing MotoGP, so he needs to change with it. Rossi may never look as spectacular as Marquez on a dirt bike or a MotoGP bike, but both his former and current crew chiefs believe he can do better than he did last year, when Marquez made him look rather second rate.
Rossi on inviting Marquez to the ranch:
"Yeah, for sure, a lot of time. But I think that Emilio [Alzamora, Marquez's manager] is not very happy that Marc come because he said that after we make a race and maybe it's dangerous." (x)
A Sideways Glance at Misano 2014, including pre-event karting on Wednesday night where Marquez reportedly struggled:
Tumblr media
Misano 2014 (text from Mat Oxley's Valentino Rossi: All His Races):
Tumblr media
^ Márquez won the first ten races of 2014 and this was the first time all year he was beaten in a straight duel. He couldn't handle Rossi's pace at Misano, so he ended up losing the front and falling.
Valentino was fast throughout practice and secured his first front-row start of 2014. [Rossi was asked after qualifying about the threat posed by Marquez and Lorenzo, identifying Lorenzo as the favourite before adding, "But you never know with Marc. He's a bastard."] In the race he rode better than in years, hanging his upper body inside the motorcycle more than ever before to increase turning. He snatched the lead from Lorenzo and then fended off Márquez, who struggled to find enough grip to match Vale. At one-third distance the world champion pushed it too far and slid off, so Vale cruised home 1.6 second ahead of Lorenzo. His crew had done a great job of creating maximum grip via adjustment to chassis balance and electronics set-up. His 107th GP victory showed he was once again as fast as anyone, because when he won at Assen 2013 he didn't have to beat Márquez, Lorenzo or Pedrosa, who were all injured. "It's fantastic to come back to victory again," he beamed after his first win with [new crew chief Silvano] Galbusera. "I knew we could fight and I pushed from the start. I always work hard and never give up and trust that days like this can happen."
Tumblr media
^ The breakthrough win at Misano. For the first time since his return to Yamaha he had gone head-to-head with Jorge Lorenzo and Marc Márquez and beaten them both. From this moment another world title was a possibility.

(x for more details)
Aragon 2014 press conference:
Rossi: Revenge at the ranch! No, first of all, we enjoy a lot, because have a lot of riders and also from superbike and a lot of bike on the track and was a good day, yeah. Marc was very fast, already fast like me at the first time, as always, and I think he did the best lap time but I won the race so is 1-1, so is... come si dice, pareggio pareggio [tied]. Marquez: Yeah, yeah, was really nice, you know, I was really [impressed] to see his circuit, his home, because in the future I would like to have, because was impressive and riding there was all the riders was really nice and... like Valentino says, we were there fighting together like in Misano race more or less, but yeah... the important thing is that we enjoy it and was really nice to ride there with him and also with the other riders.

It's the end of another week, so you know what that means, right?
Self-Care with Dieter and Jett! 
Tumblr media
Hang on, wait-wait a minute. Frankie?? What are you doing here, where's Dieter? 
Tumblr media
Ah. Don't tell me; he's in rehab again. Yes? Well good for him. So you're here to what? I see. You're filling in for him this week. My, what a chivalrous man you are. And so handsome too.
Tumblr media
Stop blushing. You know you're hot.
Well, I suppose we'd better get on with it, hadn't we?
It's the end of another week, so you know what that means, right?
Feel Good Friday with Dieter Frankie and Jett! 
Happy Frankie Friday, everyone! 💚
So, it's Friday. You made it through another week. You're doing amazing! Look at you go! Now's the time to kick back, relax and enjoy that Friday feeling, eh Frankie? 
Tumblr media
That's the spirit. Wait, how many of those have you had?
As we enter the weekend, what are you doing to recharge your batteries? And, if you happen to be working because you don't get weekends off, that's okay. You can always save this for your day(s) off. When it comes to feeling good, there are no set days. No set routine. No rules. 
Frankie, do you have some ideas to share about what you do to feel good? 
Tumblr media
Come on, don't be shy...
Tumblr media
Great! Let's hear them, bud. 
Get out & go for a walk. 
Getting out in nature is a great way to unwind and destress from a hard week of labour, both physical and mental. Surround yourself in the beauty of nature. Visit your local beauty spot; this could be a lake, a park, the beach. Go for a hike in the woods.
Sweat it out stalking through the Colombian jungle… 
Tumblr media
Either way, get out and inhale that fresh air deep into your lungs. Be brave and travel somewhere you've never been to before, especially if you have the means to. You might just find something wonderful.
☝🏻And can I just plant the seed for some solo travel? You don't need to go far, especially if you're anxious about being on your own, but it's definitely something I recommend, and often do myself. The feeling of being self-reliant and discovering somewhere new by yourself, is incredible. 
Catch up with friends.
Grab a beer (or several) with your buddies at the bar. Have a movie night together. Cook a meal for your chums; homemade tacos anyone? Have a go at making some fun, themed cocktails at home. Go dancing. Grab a speedboat and traverse the choppy waters after a high speed beach chase...
Tumblr media
When you surround yourself with the people you love most and who have your back, you always feel good. And you can always count on them to make sure you make it down the Andes mountains in one piece. 
Unless your name is Tom... Then, you know, you won't. 😬
Engage in a hobby you love - or try a new one.
Tumblr media
Woah! Is that a… oh right, sorry. You were in the forces. Silly me.
My, that's a pretty big gun you're packing there, Frankie. Mind if I, uh, hold it…? Wow, it's so big. So heavy. So... hard. Damn. 
Can I watch you, uh, shoot it? 
Tumblr media
No? Ooookay, moving on. (I'm missing Dieter already. Sheesh. 🙄)
Your time off is a great time to indulge in your hobbies. Practise your craft. Or try a new one out. You might find a new passion in something you least expected. And that's always so fun. 
Helicopter lessons anyone? 
Uh, Frankie? Is it always supposed to shake like this? Oh shit, I'm gonna puke! 🤢
Tumblr media
Laugh. Yes, even snort laughing counts.
Tumblr media
Laughter releases feel good endorphins, and after a hard week, sometimes it's hard to find a reason to giggle, right? But did you know that laughter is actually really good for your health?
No? Well Frankie, take a look at this, my good man:
Laughter relaxes the whole body. A good, hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress, leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes after.
Laughter boosts the immune system. Laughter decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies, thus improving your resistance to disease and illness.
Laughter triggers the release of endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain.
Laughter protects the heart. Laughter improves the function of blood vessels and increases blood flow, which can help protect you against a heart attack and other cardiovascular problems.
Laughter burns calories. Okay, so it's no replacement for going to the gym, but one study has found that laughing for 10 to 15 minutes a day can burn approximately 40 calories - which could be enough to lose three or four pounds over the course of a year.
Laughter lightens anger's heavy load. Nothing diffuses anger and conflict faster than a shared laugh. Looking at the funny side can put problems into perspective and enable you to move on from confrontations without holding onto bitterness or resentment.
Laughter may even help you to live longer. A study in Norway found that people with a strong sense of humour outlived those who don't laugh as much.
So, find something to laugh about today. Just like Frankie here. 
Tumblr media
Hug it out.
When people hug for 20 seconds or more, the feel-good hormone oxytocin is released which creates a stronger bond and connection between the huggers. Oxytocin has been shown to boost the immune system and reduce stress.
Tumblr media
Aww… Frankie. That's so cute of you.
Oof, you're kinda squeezing me a little tight there. No, I didn't say stop! Ooh, you smell good. Mmm…
Hug it out with your besties. Your significant other. Your family. Your pet. Even yourself.
Yes! Hug yourself. A self-hug is a beautiful way to show yourself some compassion and kindness. As you wrap your arms around yourself, you send a powerful message of love and support to your inner self. Feel that zen!
Tumblr media
Phew! Are you all hugged out now Frankie? No? Okay. We can do it some more… We'll just stay like this for a bit. Nice.
What's that pressing into my thigh? Oh. Oh.
So, there we have it, lovelies. Frankie's Feel Good Friday. I hope Frankie and I were able to put a smile on your face and make you feel good today. Friday's are all about feeling good, but no matter the day of the week, I hope nothing but good vibes surround you.
☝🏻Don't worry, Dieter isn't going anywhere. He'll be back next time - as soon as his sixteenth stint in rehab is over... 😐
Hold strong, D. We love you.
Tumblr media
YOU. ARE. STRONGER. THAN. YOU. THINK. 💚🖤
Do you. Then do Dieter. Frankie.
🖤
More Dieter & Jett here
GIFS of Frankie used by @palioom @bruhlpng @perotovar Also found via Google/Pinterest. If I've used one of yours & not credited you, it's because they've been saved to my phone & I've forgotten since who created it. Let me know so I can add the appropriate credit. 🖤

I'm not actually sad that I don't have anyone to spend Valentine's Day
What I AM sad about is that out there is a demon being alone and pining for the one he's loved for more than six thousand years, and there's also an angel surrounded by nothing other than people who hate him, in order to protect his other half

[video description: footage of the game Stray. an orange cat jumps out of a white box, then dashes over to a humanoid robot laying on a couch with one knee up and a cowboy hat over their monitor shaped face. the cat jumps up onto the robot's chest, and curls up in a ball, purring loudly. the image on the robot's screen face flashes from a question mark to a red heart, as it looks at the cat and then back around in confusion before laying back down with the hat back over their face. end description]

I want Cellbit to still actually be in his depression arc after he wakes up from his weeklong hibernation JUST so I can see the looks on Bagi and everyone else she tells' faces at the subversion of expectations, it would be glorious to witness (especially after she spent all week preparing and bracing herself for him on the warpath, she would be so caught off guard and I think that's something you don't get to see very often)

Since most people here don’t have TikTok (and honestly, I don’t blame them) they haven’t heard all the dps musical snippets, so I figured I’ll transcript them
(None of the songs are in any specific order) (when there are several snippets, they also aren’t in any specific order)
"Another New First Day"
From the lyrics and title, I figured this would be the first song. It’s possible I’m incorrect.
Sang by: all the poets simultaneously (except Todd)
But l'm still hopeful that it might just get better / Some senior fun 'til my acceptance letter / Nothing really grows, despite how I wish it would / I've got friends enough to know this place brings some good / No use combatting destiny, the history that's bound to be / Sit back, settle down, and give in / It's set in stone, you're set for life / This is your life, now live in it / Predictable in its way, you know how it all goes / You'll feel it in your bones / The feeling you can't shake / Everything that you should want is waiting for you at the top / Another fresh start, another pathway, another new year, another first day / Another new first day
“Desk Set”
Sang by: Neil and Todd
Snippet 1:
(Todd) How do l know this is really the truth? My lines get blurred when it comes to you / And I don't wanna play the madman in this mad show made for two
(Neil) I wouldn't hurt you Toddy. I couldn't if l tried / l've never met somebody who makes me feel half as alive as you do / Half as alive as you do / Beyond my mind
(Todd) Outside my head
(Both of them) I've kissed you once lets kiss one thousand times again / One thousand times again.
Snippet 2:
(Neil) I can't make sense of sleep-talk / I can't declutter the strangeness / I'll always be weary of wishing and its dangers / I twist and turn in panic / I think ‘til I come to / I've held it back, but damn it, I'm thinking about you / Clouds pass and bring sunshine through our window / Waking, blinding me, but setting you aglow
(Both of them) I tend to imagine and get lost in that space
(Neil) I can't help but sleeping because I determine my fate / Determine my fate at the sound of turning pages, at the sight of your face / I could spend days in the worlds I create in my head
(Both of them) Let's kiss one thousand times again and again and again and again and again / One thousand times again
"Choking On The Bone"
Sang by: Charlie
Spare me the tough love, this just can't be how the kid grows up / Is this now my epilogue? ls letting go really growing up? / Will growing ever be enough? Or is it worth just giving up? / Head first into the ebb and flow, having no say in how l go / Drowning in the shallow, sucking out the marrow, and choking on the bone
"I Can Hear It Now"
Sang by: Chris and Ginny
(Both of them) There is nothing I can do to make myself feel relevant next to him / 'Cause it's his world and we're all just living in it / My potential can be fatal / It's my living breathing downfall / Haunting moments / Stuck in corners / Keeping me cut from the picture / It's his portrait / It's his moment / And I'm here as a silent accessory
(Ginny) But silence can feel more like death to me. Fade in into the background / The black behind fluorescent lights / There's music ringing through the room, but I’m counting on silence tonight
(Chris) A moment of deep recollection / Make me feel / Make me seen / But this is the way things oughta be, for this is how they’ve always been
(Ginny) There is nothing I can do to make myself feel relevant next to him
(Both of them) Cause it's his world and we’re all just living in it
(Both of them) (in a round) My potential can be fatal / It’s my living breathing downfall / Haunting moments / Stuck in corners / Keeping me cut from the picture
(Both of them) It's his portrait / It's his moment / And I’m here as a silent accessory / But silence can feel more like death to me
"At Your Will / Choking On The Bone"
Sang by: Charlie and Cameron (they both sing at the same time, not after the other)
(Both of them) They throw me into the fire and I don't feel a thing
(Charlie) The blizzard has burnt me more than the flames / They want all of my innocence wapped up like presents / But you can’t cover up neatly what ended in ruins
(Cameron) For the first time, I don't get it / For the first time, I doubt I ever will / For the first time, I’m giving up on getting it / So crucify me at your will
"Father Made It Clear (Reprise)"
Sang by: Neil
Father made it clear / He leaves no room for hoping / I stare out of the window / The ground beneath me frozen / Snow white and pure, the pearly gates of heaven / Maybe I'll arrive to find the curtains open / Or maybe I'll arrive to find out he was right / *pause* / But father made it clear / There's no room for me here
“God Of The Cave”
Sang by: the poets (snippet 1, 2, and 4) + Chris and Ginny (snippet 3 and 4)
Snippet 1:
(Neil, spoken) Alright, alright, quiet, gentlemen. We must behave ourselves in the presence of a guest.
(Pitts, spoken) What guest?
(Neil) Who is this, that enters our sacred ground? / It's a guest, a visitor, and one of great renown! / Do we have any guesses? / C'mon give it a go, champ
(Pitts, spoken) God, Neil, I don't know, it just looks like a lamp.
(Cameron, spoken) That’s ‘cause it is just a lamp.
(Neil) See, that's where you're wrong / Gentleman, friends, men paving the way / There's a divine force here today meet: / the God of the Caaaaave!
(The poets) …
(Neil) God of the Cave, brotherhood incarnate / We follow your lead as as you set the path straight / Get on our knees, bow in faith, light and shade, praising you / God of the Cave
Snippet 2:
(Neil, spoken) Take it away Todd!
(Todd, visibly struggling) …
(Todd, spoken, to Charlie) Will you read it with me?
(Todd) We are dreaming of tomorrow when tomorrow isn't coming / There's today and there's the end / And everything is sudden
(Charlie) And still we sleep
(Charlie) We are dreaming of a glory that we don't really want / We keep it up our sleeves to preserve what we are taught.
(Todd) And still we sleep
(Both of them) We are dreaming of a new day when the new day's here already / Exalt, sob, live, take your time, and keep it steady
(All the poets) And still we sleep
Snippet 3:
(Ginny) I know exactly what I'm grateful for / I'm out on my own / Exploring the outdoors / A girl in the wild, how crazy, how vile! / Nobody by my side to babysit all night / Or compare myself to ‘til my heart's black and blue / Not scared of being in second place
(Chris) Being allowed to take up space
(Both of them) And finding home inside a cave!
(Chris) Being wanted for who I am alone / And for once not only who l know / So thank you again for inviting us / Tonight you've all provided us / A new reason to smile / And all the while / Let's be true to the people we knew we could be
(Ginny) More than a sister / More than a shadow
(Chris) More than a girlfriend / More than a sideshow / So, thank you for today / And, thank you, God of the-
(Simultaneously)
(Ginny) Out on my own
(Knox) Under her spell
(Charlie and Todd) And still we sleep
(Chris) Who l am alone
(Cameron) Use of my skills
(Meeks) No more blues
(Pitts) Living in my prime
(Neil) Paving the way
(All) Caveeeee!
Snippet 4:
(All) God of the Cave / brotherhood incarnate / We follow your lead as you set the path straight / Get on our knees, bow in faith, light and shade, praising you / God of the Cave
(Knox) I think you’ve got the right idea / Praising God for friends / I've got new and old beside me / And truth be told tonight reminds me / How I feel sitting here / Every time one is near / She's smart / She's kind / Funny and stunning / Warm like sunshine / Beautiful inside / And out just as well / One word from her lips / And I’m under her spell / Heat that expels and won't let the cold in—
(Chris, spoken) Well who is it?
(Knox, panicked, spoken) Uh Nolan!
(Chris, spoken) Nolan?
(All) Nolan?!
"Paper Ripping Song"
Sang by: the poets
(Neil) A hum from outside the window / A consistent buzz and pound / Whispers of desire ring low / I feel what I hear in that sound / I wanna be the train in the distance when it races
(Neil and Cameron) I wanna feel the gain as I'm put through the paces
(Neil, Cameron, and Todd) There's a light in the shadows of doubt / Nothing leaves you without a mark / If you haven't grown up by now / You'll be forever, forever in the dark / Who will I be...
(All the poets) Now it's all up to me, and l'm clueless / Been told what to do / But not how to do it
(Background, spoken) Rip, shred, thread!
(All the poets) My life is a maze, I can't cut the corners / Maybe today I might move forward / I'll be what I am, whoever that may be / And when I meet them l'Il see with utmost clarity
“Phone Call From God”
Sang by: Charlie
Snippet 1:
(Mr Nolan, spoken) Whoever the guilty persons are, this is your only chance to avoid expulsion from the academy
*phone rings*
When a phone rings, we're taught it's rude to hold off / So l hear a … and figure it's polite to respond
(Spoken) Mr. Nolan, it's for you. It’s God. She says we should have girls at Welton
I know it might sound crazy, but I know God when I hear her / That voice rings, booms, and stuns. She’s offering us the answer! / She's gifted us advice to repent us from all sin. There's a way to avoid all hell, yes! / lf you let girls into Welton / God herself is begging, pleading with a crackling voice / How are we to see the world if it's only seen by boys?
Snippet 2:
Now I can’t help / That I was born the chosen one / Hand-picked by the father, the holy spirit, and the son / So when they call me a prophet / What can I do but agree? / I guess the blessing of a goddess has forced a spotlight on me / And yes, there's pressure, handling it all on my own
(Ensemble, aka unnamed students) He talks to God!
But I take it in my stride and I take it over the phone
(Ensemble) God has a rotary - it makes sense if you don’t think about it too hard
Are we?
(Ensemble) Yes!
I wasn’t finished yet
(Ensemble) Sorry!
Are we ready to be the reason that God's plan falls through?
(Ensemble) No!
Then what should we do?
(Ensemble) We'll listen to you!
"Party Of Seven"
Sang by: Knox and Chris
*telephone sounds*
(Chris, on the phone, spoken) Hello?
(Knox, nervous) *hangs the phone abruptly*
(Charlie, spoken) What was that pussy-move about, Knoxious?
(Knox, spoken) She's gonna hate me! The Danburry's are gonna hate me! My parents are gonna kill me!
(The poets) …
(Knox, spoken) Alright, jeez. Carpe diem, even if it kills me.
(Chris, spoken) Hello?
(Knox, spoken) Hello, Chris?
(Chris) Yes, who am I speaking with?
(Knox, spoken) Hi! This is Overstreet! Well, no, it's Knox. I mean Overstreet is a part of my name but not all of it. It's Knox Overstreet in full, but I just go by Knox.
(Chris) …
(Knox, in a lower voice, spoken) Hey, it's Knox.
(Chris) Hi, Knox. I'm glad you called.
(Knox) She’s glad I called!
(Chris) I was actually gonna call you about Ginny's party to promote the play / I was hoping I could count on seeing you Friday.
(Knox, accusing, towards Neil, spoken) Ginny's having a party … and she didn't invite Neil … because if she DID he would've told us about it, right?
(Chris, spoken) Well, if you can't come Knox, that's totally okay.
(Knox, spoken) We'll be there!
(Chris, spoken) We'll?
(Knox) Of course! / What kind of party would it be / Without the hell-raisers of the academy? / We are going to that party / We'll do what the cool kids do / Like smoke and drink and talk to you
(Chris, spoken) What?
(Knox) Nothing! / The Dead Poets will be in attendance / That much you can count on / We've been waiting for something like this / Something to…. / Get our groove on
(Chris, spoken) All of you? That is … great!
(Knox) That is great / Just you and me / And six of my closest friends
(Chris) Well, it's this Friday at seven / So I'll see all seven of you then
(Knox) The Danburry's house / Friday at seven / I'll be there / All seven of us will be there
"Puck's Celebration"
Sang by: Neil
Snippet 1:
Years of waiting and pining have finally lead to this feeling / Happiness that's mine to keep / Nobody else I've gotta be
(Spoken) But that shrewd and knavish sprite called Robin Goodfellow. I’m Puck! I'm playing Puck!
(Background, spoken) Puck you!
Just a bed of bliss / Just to lay my head in / Just one thing that's really mine / Just one thing, just one time / God, I’m happy / Really happy / Don't think I’ve felt this kind of happy before now / Not even when I was barely ten, and my dad got me that toy train and / I played with it for days on end / I would sit and play with it / Well, play with it ‘till I broke the back engine / I guess I never did have steady hands / So much for being a surgeon then! / I still loved that train and, yes, I was happy / Happy despite the broken back engine / But this happy is different from back-engine-happy / This time I'm happy and it's just for me / With no despites and no tiny print / No more back-engine happy and no more restrict…ions
Snippet 2:
If father could see me now he'd see this smile on my face / and maybe he'd be proud of the happy boy he raised / I'd hug him and weep and say / "I love you, thank you for seeing me through" / And he'd say, "son, if you're happy, then l am too" / And he'd mean it / Each show I'm in, he'd see it / He'll buy flowers and stand in the aisle / Shouting "that's my boy!" with a genuine smile / I'd jump in his arms, he'd cradle my head, just like I'm a younger child again
“Starlit Smile”
Sang by: Chris
What is it about / His smile, his words, his gift — no, his curse / He beams, he shines / It seems he's mine if I want him to be / So, what's stopping me? / God, what's wrong with me? / But how can I know what's wrong or what's right / If I'm always running without giving a try / To the bright, warm joy of the moonlit boy
“Desk Set (Reprise)”
Sang by: Todd (talking to Neil)
Here, now I find you, abstaining from dejection / But know you don't have to be locked down by perception / The world will seek joy to crash upon, a light to bash until it's gone / But I've seen your unclouded days, your unlighted nights / I'm here for you always / I'm here now by your side, by your side
(Spoken) You’ll be alright
“At Your Will”
Sang by: Cameron
(Cameron’s villain song)
Drag my name through muddy waters / Make my face rough with blood / At least I'll know I took a stand / I followed through a steady plan / I faced it head on like a man / I did it once, l'Il do it again / They kiss the ground of this "great poet" / They sit here and leave me for dead / They weep and sob over teachings / And learn to abandon a friend
(Mr. McAllister, off stage, spoken) Gerard Pitts
My apologies for being neglected, unfair / Make me the enemy / And see if I care / Bully me, silence me, mock and ignore / They tried to brainwash me, but not anymore! / My apologies for winning, living right inside the grey / Success in dignity, morality in vain / For the first time, I don't get it / For the first time, I doubt I ever will / For the first time, l'm giving up on getting it! / So crucify me at your will

Hey Matteo, is there anyway I can be an anarchist from home? I dont have the means to do things like leave the house for too long so no protests. I know theres donating to certain places but I dont feel like Im doing enough
hi friend! first of all, being an anarchist doesn't necessarily mean youre gonna be out on the front lines throwing molotov cocktails or creating communes. being an anarchist, to me, is living life in the most anarchist way of de-centering hierarchy in your interpersonal and intrapersonal life/relationships, of honoring people's autonomy (and even their autonomy to make bad decisions or decisions we don't like), holding ourselves and our communities in transformative accountability, and to just live life as authentically as you can.
there is of course the political action aspect, but you must understand that everyone is at different points of their lives. when you're in community with people, you pick up the pieces people have left behind, you pick people up when they fall behind, and you shield them from harm and retaliation by fulfilling their needs. You can read as much theory as you want--from adrienne maree brown to karl marx--but you need lived experience and community to see how these theories play out and are informed by life. you can't be an anarchist without a community of folks who are willing to love you, protect you, and keep you accountable.
at the same time, i'm not here to shame anyone. i have certain thoughts about everything and how "allies" have been pushing marginalized communities to speak up. frankly, what I will say is I will never shame anyone for how they survive in this fucked up capitalistic white supremacist world. you are suffering daily oppression from all sides, I can't blame you for not doing much to inform yourself about daily atrocities because you can barely make your rent. but if you have the capacity and are willing to want to do more, just know that you are holding endless knowledge and historical memory of these moments that the world wants us to erase from history. do not forget. donate, share information, talk with your friends, and hold your marginalized communities closer than ever, but the best thing you can do is never forget.
at the same time, this goes for everyone really, but im not intent on pushing the most marginalized voices (BIPOC but especially Black voices) to speak on every atrocity ever when they're already struggling through their own. i've seen far too many BIPOC communities and advocates online be pushed into speaking when they're not ready or when theyre genuinely protecting their BIPOC folks from MORE zionist/white supremacist hate by making sure they respect their decisions to not speak pubicly. again, I don't intend to shame anyone for doing what they can to survive, ESPECIALLY BIPOC communities. It's atrocious that even now racism is still being used to villify BIPOC voices that are speaking in drafts, still processing their grief and emotions, and for pushing BIPOC voices who aren't even okay with speaking publicly due to fear of retailiation (because thats fucking happening!) at the same time, i do think white folk need to pick up the slack as usual and just get off of BIPOC folks' backs.
i hope this helped. long story short, don't shame people for surviving under oppression, do what you can with the capacity that you have, and hold your people close. I hope that helped and im happy to expand on more.
and as always, the anarchist library is the best resource around.
