Damned Muddle

Life is a Damned Muddle. Here we muddle through together in the hopes of getting to liberation everywhere for everyone. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Willo (♾️,🏳️‍🌈,👩🏻‍🦼‍➡️, etc…)

Yesterday there was a young male resident learning with my female primary care. I tried to explain chronic fatigue to him 3 or 4 times in different ways. By the end he was still equating it with tiredness. The woman got it immediately. Women are diagnosed with chronic fatigue 2-4 times more.

It’s telling that I’ve seen so many European Americans (white folks) more upset about the White House (a colonial monument built by enslaved people) than I have the complete decimation of Palestine over the past two years. Both were done with our money. Only one killed over 680,000 people.

TFG tearing down part of the White House to build a $250,000,000 ballroom in the middle of a government shutdown, while millions of Americans are set to lose SNAP benefits November 1st, is giving big “let them eat cake” energy.

One thing we are not going to do as the ruling class set out to starve everyone, is judge anything about the way people eat. We won’t be judging what they eat, how they get it, or anything else about what folks need to do to survive. Do everything you can to care for and feed people.

The first step isn’t a general strike. The first step is getting as many people as possible to boycott and engage in a mutual aid practice. Not only does this lay the groundwork for an eventual strike, it helps people RIGHT NOW.

It’s not about never making mistakes. It’s about how you respond when mistakes are pointed out. It’s about if people can easily identify what was a mistake versus what is your normal MO because they are different.

Lock in folks, we boycott until BDS, the Congolese people (new tech), and the Sudanese people (gold and the UAE) say otherwise. Free means total liberation and land back. We are boycotting to get people free.

If you are going to a No Kings event, please consider donating to mutual aid as well. If every attendee gave just $1 we could make a real difference in the lives of others. Tons of opportunities in my reposts.

DNFed, “The Death of Expertise” after he casually maligned the Black panthers without factual information. I think there’s a problem that could have been addressed in this book. Instead it’s just a powerful white guy complaining about the downfall of systems that serve him. #BookSky

Has anyone seen anything on accessibility of weapons for disabled people? I hear a lot about “arm yourself” but what about those of us with no to low vision, limited strength, amputees, joint and balance issues, etc….?

Anyone else find the time of this no kings/50501 thing a little sus? I personally have been seeing more and more people ready to get more radical and then here they come with their unmasked, organized, police supported parade?!? Weird.
