  2. @johnbrowntypebeats I like to point out whenever relevant that in much of the Appalachians, especially in East TN, the Confederacy wasn't universally supported.

    Most importantly, the Appalachian Mountains are a great location to launch a guerilla insurgency from.

    We've fought this shit before and we'll do it again.

  3. Now seems like a great time to mention a couple of organizations that are going to need additional help to meet the need.

    Rainbow Railroad & PFLAG

    rainbowrailroad.org

    "We help at-risk LGBTQI+ people get to safety.
    In countries around the world, LGBTQI+ people face violence and oppression simply because of who they love or who they are. We help them get to safety."

    #PFLAG has local chapters throughout the country and provide resources & community to parents of LGBTQ+ kids. I have participated in one of their zoom calls before & they are doing great work.

    Atlanta chapter

  4. Helping Appalachia webcast on Ancestry Roads will be starting in ~30 minutes.

    Hear from @AncestryRoads & @ai6yr about the current status of WNC & the Southern Appalachains as people start to dig themselves out & start the LONG process of recovery from #Helene.

  5. Georgia Attorney General Says Election Board Is Operating Outside Its Authority

    The board, with a new right-wing majority, is set to consider new election rules just 45 days before the election.

  6. Just one more thing before you go. 😉 This is all besides the fact that >1/2 of the time they're not thinking about & reacting to you at all. They got shit going on, too.

    The other personal insight I think I've had is that I may have accidentally developed empathy by figuring out ways not to trigger this phenomenon.

    By intuiting what aspect of the model they had of me was true, so that I could lean into that and some of the potential friction in the relationship. The simplest version of this that I can think of is shared hobbies & interests but the reason and mechanism are in the previous posts.

    This concludes (probably) your #Antifaganda of the day. ✌️

  7. It doesn't even have to be anything weird or gross. The effect is apparent as long as you suddenly don't fit into their model of you they've constructed from assumptions.

    It could be something as simple as being an intelligent person with a country-ass accent. Or a logical scientist that's also interested in things without even the possibility of empirical proof.

    A more common example would probably be being progressive in the South or a rural area.

    Either way, it has nothing to do with you and everything to do with their preconceptions about you & the effort required to "reprogram your model".

    This has been your #Antifaganda of the day. ✌️

  8. To my friends that boost the very real and very dire mutual aid needs that I post, I see you & I appreciate you.
    :hearthands:

    If you don't normally read or boost mutual aid posts because you're unsure of their validity but do it anyways, I appreciate that too.

    If anyone is still unsure of @SabiLewSounds truthfulness and need, I am happy to assuage any doubts. I first "met" Sabi 9 or 10 months ago when @venya invited me to an Owncast performance she was doing with #RadioFreeFedi. I got to enjoy multiple weeks of the Sabi coffeehouse. Complete with a chat window with fellow fediverse music fans. It really was special!

    Then getting evicted and losing most of her possessions and security ruined that. 😪

    Need some more receipts? Months of discord conversations & communication about her working on the antifascist audio collage album I've been trying to finish this whole year?

  9. How far do you think you have to spit a watermelon 🍉 seed to get 5th place at the Indiana State Fair?
    :blobcatthink:

    Full Disclosure: Top 4 spots were 4-H kids that basically lived there. 😅

  10. Does anyone needs signs or banners in the Atlanta area? This guy is my hero. Someone defaced a Kamala Harris sign that he had in front of his business. So, he made multiple and bigger ones. 😅

    He even has banners that people can sign with markers.

    Apologies for the tiktok link. I don't have an account, but you can still watch the video.

  11. I'm standing my ground, because that's one of my white privileges, but disenfranchised and at-risk people in #Florida and #Texas should probably consider their options.

    #MutualAid to help PoC and/or #LGBTQ+ relocate IS the underground railroad.

    All of the times you fantasized about helping runaway slaves and being the white savior, this is your chance.

    I also have hidden spaces planned in #Georgia. Just in case. Hit me up on #Signal

  12. In Georgia the MAGA have taken over the state elections board and are trying to make certain that they'll only be allowed to certify Trump as the winner of their electoral college votes.

    Three members who are unsure of Biden’s 2020 victory rushed to call a meeting later that week to push through more changes in a way that the Georgia Attorney General warned violated the state public meeting laws.

  13. I know that Black women have saved us before, and this time a single Black woman may save us.

    Taraji P. Henson's speach will be seen as the beacon that shined a light onto #Project2025 and forced the media to finally start reporting on it.

  14. Today's example of "What a difference a headline makes"

    Story comes out yesterday in local NC news with this headline & actual motivation is buried in the 2nd paragraph.

    "NC Senate votes to ban people from wearing masks in public for health reasons"
    wral.com/amp/21433199/

    The AP released the story with a more accurate headline. Which one do you think most North Carolinians read or heard?

    "North Carolina bill to curb mask-wearing in protests could make it illegal for medical reasons too"
    apnews.com/article/north-carol

    My more accurate headline would be "Fascism rising in NC"

    Do we still have anyone following @redstateinsurgents?

  15. In "I've come a long way, baby" news...

    I just remembered something. My parents are so #Country #Southern & backwards that circa 2000 I had to tell them that "furniture can be oriental, but people are Asian".

    To their credit, they listened and changed their vocabulary.

  16. @LeftistLawyer #RedStateInsurgents should do some #MATH and vote 🗳️ in the Republican primary instead of throwing half their votes in the garbahj. 🤷🏻‍♂️
    Why do you think #WhiteSupremacists from the birthplace of the #KKK have already prevented Independents and #normies from from running in TN GOP primaries and are trying to make them #ClosedPrimaries ?🤔wpln.org/post/tennessee-has-op

  17. @FawnOverFun and you get to chat with someone who lived in KY but is back in Texas. We're all #RedStateInsurgents

  18. #redstateinsurgents If they doxx me they find out I look really good on paper & I'm not to be screwed with
