Overdue intro
Greetings and salutations.
Obviously an Anarchist. I'm also an androgynous pansexual goth POC. I mostly use he/him pronouns, but I do like it when someone uses she/her (especially when I'm not wearing any makeup and in work clothes).
I work in a clinical lab, and do a little bit of research. I mostly gripe and shit post. I'm also a multimedia junky who constantly looks for novelty. I indulge in hallucinogens, various crimes, and dabble with magic and music.
Phone Script
Are you aware of the IWW?
They are the Industrial Workers of the World.
They are a union dedicated to helping people like you achieve proper working conditions.
For example, if your boss is being a jerk to you, then the IWW can step in to tell your boss to be cool.
The IWW is international, and can help you where ever you work in the world.
Also, the more of your coworkers that join with you, the stronger you all can be when you fight for better working conditions and better pay.
US resources to use instead of the police:
Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC), MARCH
I summarized from this blog:

MARCH algorithm (preventable deaths in combat zones)
M-assive Hemorrhage
-Detect source of bleeding
-Direct pressure: hold pressure (~10min) until blood clot forms
-Devices: If necessary, use tourniquets, hemostatic gauze and pressure bandages
-Don't dilute: use concept of hypotensive resusitation to avoid thinning blood or pumping established clots
If you're using #Bandcamp, I would strongly advise getting two external hard drives depending on your size and download your purchased #music ASAP since the new owners are a marketing B2B company and I know where this is eventually going. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/09/28/epic-games-is-eliminating-16percent-of-its-workforce-and-selling-bandcamp.html
I would not be surprised if Songtradr is going to push the #enshittification button on it. https://www.songtradr.com/blog/posts/songtradr-bandcamp-acquisition/

#BREAKING: A far-Right Trump supporter, identified by antifascists online at Ryan Martinez, has been arrested by police after shooting an Indigenous protester (who is in reported stable condition) in so-called Española, New Mexico at a protest calling for the removal of conquistador, Juan de Oñate, called by the organization The Red Nation.
On social media the event was billed as a "prayerful protest." The statue was put into storage during the George Floyd uprising and was supposed to be put back on display this week at the Rio Arriba County building, which for the last week, has been the site of ongoing Native-led demonstrations, prayer, and protest - successfully delaying the statue being re-erected.
This is the second time that a far-Right counter-protester has shot and injured someone over the statue. On June 15th, Stephen Baca shot a protester at a rally calling for the statue's removal.
negativity, corporate bullshit, copaganda, Raspberry Pi
With the #RaspberryPi5 releasing, don't forget how they boasted about hiring an ex surveillance cop, then ridiculed the people who criticized them for it.
Also remember how you weren't able to buy a Pi for months because they prioritized supplying their business customers.
I'm not buying #RaspberryPi products any longer, nor do I recommend them to my friends and clients. The Pi Foundation has become seriously out of touch.
Trying to find my people on Mastodon. Please boost and follow me if you:
-want the government to abolish Mondays.
-think that every song could be improved by the addition of an accordian.
-are gaining mass to become too big to fail.
-still have a lingering fear in public places that a flash mob could appear at any second.
-lost faith in our criminal justice system because no one ever went to jail for replacing the lime Skittle with green apple.

Anyone working in any medical context should be required to wear a #Mask whenever they are in the workplace.
"Until when?” you say?
Until they retire.
Just like spay painters, welders, stone kitchen fitters, medical folks need to wear their PPE whenever they are on the job.
For ever.
Brought to you by the sheer horror of watching nurses cheering at not having to wear masks around patients, as mask-mandates are lifted.
Myth: academics make bank flying around giving talks.
Reality: prestigious university invites me out. I fly across the country and speak free. I front the cost and submit for reimbursement. First they lose the paperwork. Then they reject it because of a digital signatures. Now, six months later, they reject it again, because the receipt does not show the last four digits of my credit card so they don’t know if I actually bought the ticket.
They heard me talk. How did they think I got there?
I got a big pile of stickers and I would like to mail some to you for slappin' around your town!
Use "Wear A Mask!" (art by @foxgrl) and "Still Doing the Mask Thing" to boost community health and safety. Use "Respect My Trans Homies" and Catgirl Sickos to piss off local transphobes and foster safer streets. And for my local pals, I've got more "TC ACAB" too.

Tankies will bring up Operation Paperclip to talk about how much America loves nazis, yet conveniently forget that the soviets took in significantly more nazi scientists in Operation Osoaviakhim
Lol the police settled rather than exposing their lies and grift in court: https://www.portlandmercury.com/news/2023/09/22/46736233/portland-police-union-settles-false-information-lawsuit-brought-by-former-commissioner-hardesty
the only good thing that all of these true crime youtube channels have done is that the FOIAed interrogation videos really drive home that you need to say, and only say:
"I am practicing my right to remain silent until I can have a lawyer present. I am ending this interrogation."
The cop is going to be like, "we can get you out of here quick if we chat", "tell me about your record collection", "here is a funny joke", etc etc. The only response is:
"I am practicing my right to remain silent until I can have a lawyer present. I am ending this interrogation."
No gods.
No masters.
Kill yr idol.
