So whatever it takes for you to be in a space where you can give what you have to offer: that's the work.
For some people, staying alive is the work. I bet you're helping people in ways you don't even realize, but if you feel like all you are doing is surviving, you're keeping one of our comrades alive (you).
This is a situation where no one is insignificant. Solidarity means all of us. Solidarity means no one is left behind or discarded. Solidarity means you fucking matter, & we need you.
Mmm. Whirled peas.

on the weekly show podcast posted to YT 23h ago Stewart's guest Adam Tooze reports from the WEF in Davos that the US faction "did an event for the Turin Shroud (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shroud_of_Turin) under the headline 'The World's First Selfie With Jesus'"
from 19:05 at this link👇🏼. just when I thought I couldn't be gobsmacked by political news anymore. here i am sick to my stomach. 🙏🏼
"consumers aren't buying based on AI” is demonstrably untrue, because i am a consumer, and i buy based on AI. i see a product uses AI and i choose something else

#uspol as someone who was raising a family in the aftermath of 9/11, and horrified by our invasion of Iraq and dubious about the possible success of invading Afghanistan, the fact that Chump said that we've never asked of NATO, never received anything from them, is literally the most mortified i've been as a US citizen. We absolutely did call up our NATO alliance, and they most certainly did fight with us, _especially_ Denmark.
p.s. our piss-poor withdrawal from Afghanistan was Chump's fault.

SELF-CARE IS #ANTIFA PRAXIS
my sons took care of me during my #cancer treatment. they saw the hell i went through, even though my cancer was caught at the early stages.
one of them also had his balls checked. thank goodness, seems it’s an ingrown hair that needs to be taken care of.
am so proud of him. patriarchy kills men by making them believe #eugenics is healthcare.
no.
what doesn’t kill you, maims you.
healthcare isn’t weakness.
it’s your human right.
