As you scroll through memes honoring MLK, today is a good day to remember that a lot of leaders believe that the only appropriate place to hold a protest is in the past. Hat tip to @derringerpax.bsky.social, who made my quote into a woodcut in 2024.

As winter arrives, over one million Gazans lack shelter, with 92% of housing destroyed by Israel. In violation of the ceasefire, Netanyahu continues to restrict the entry of tents and other aid, including food. The U.S. must demand that Israel allow full humanitarian access NOW.
Lack of tents, food and warm clothes leaves Gazans exposed ahead of winter
As winter approaches in Gaza, more than a million residents are vulnerable to extreme weather and disease, as Israeli restrictions hobble the humanitarian response.

Economic democracy is a good thing and there should be more of it.
The Cooperative Economy@cooperatives.bsky.social · 10mo agoEconomic democracy provides the foundation for a more equitable distribution of wealth. This directly safeguards political democracy by limiting the power of concentrated wealth. Worker cooperatives, as one expression of economic democracy, actively support a more equitable and democratic world.
Cooperatives are gaining momentum as communities realize their potential for economic empowerment. The long-established Blue Heron Bakery in Washington recently transitioned into a community-owned cooperative. Since converting, the business added nearly 25% more jobs and increased its sales by 36%.

Some seeds require cold stratification- they won't bloom in spring unless they've been through the hard conditions of winter. It reminds me of post traumatic growth and how times of intense stress are often followed by the emergence of new ways of caring for and defending each other

Pope Francis: “As long as the problems of the poor are not radically resolved by rejecting the absolute autonomy of markets & financial speculation and by attacking the structural causes of inequality, no solution will be found for the world’s problems or to any problems.”
The Nation Magazine@thenation.com · last yr.Just months after he became the head of the Catholic Church in 2013, Pope Francis condemned the “new tyranny” of unfettered capitalism and the “idolatry of money.”

It's wild that we live in a democracy at the national level but in the spheres touching our lives most directly (like at work), it's often more authoritarian & because of things like NDAs ppl have no freedom to even talk about their conditions. We need more #unions & worker-owned businesses
Episode 3 of Emmi & Annie Talk Indie is now out! We're talking Drova: Forsaken Kin by Just2D Interactive, plus a bit in the beginning about gaming with friends for comfort In These Times:

Ive said this before. Unions have a moment in time to create parallel, Non Profit Trust or Associated Health Plans and offer them to small to medium size businesses. Unions can negotiate far better than SMBs or associations . Imagine if millions got their healthcare from unions ? Thoughts ?

For a pretty much frivolous escape from our bleak reality, enjoy this snippet of my and @not-emmy.bsky.social's second podcast episode. Full thing out tomorrow morning. And now I'll sign off again because my brief glimpses of current events have already revealed too much
Emmi & Annie Talk Indie@eati.games · 2y agoOur second episode will be out tomorrow morning on all platforms except Apple Music bc that one is taking forever to process! We're playing and discussing Potion Permit (2022):
