  1. @gregly yeah! I think I understand what you mean. I wonder what the next steps are. Dont want this to go the way of the #pussyhat and I dream of something like #wearethe99percent with long term outlines yunno?

    Thankfull to all who attended

  2. Just discovered David Graeber — anthropologist, anarchist, and co-creator of “We Are the 99%.”

    His big question: What would life look like if people were free to do meaningful work instead of pretending to be busy?

  3. @clive ‘Linux users’ is a reductive description of people who desired software freedom and privacy at some point… Linux, OpenOffice, ActivityPub/Mastodon/Fediverse, cryptocurrency/bitcoin… all of these are a cry for freedom and community from people who know what a computer is… that’s why there’s also people living with difference here, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, poor… #wearethe99percent

  4. @HeavenlyPossum @volkris @dagb @CheapPontoon It’s clear to me the US, and as a result, the world are suffering from the oligarchic whims of underregulated capitalism/industrialization, not the least those hoarders of common wealth who crave political power. Now appears an interesting opportunity to negotiate when so many workers and progressive international agencies have honed their skills in analysis, strategy and struggle. #wearethe99percent

  5. #ClimateDiary Tackling inequality and its causes is the single most important action to address #ClimateEmergency.

    We need to be better at recognising and showing everyone that all our interests are aligned - it shouldn’t be farmers against #JustStopOil or whatever; we should all be fighting #inequality and billionaires together. #WeAreThe99Percent

  6. Anthony Farindon, Anglican minister, on getting closer to God. List is charity, justice, compassion, and deep feelings for suffering. Modern evangelicals instead urge exhaustive prayer and bible study. “Bowels” absent from new checklists: Farindon says that currying God’s favor, even expecting heard prayers, without bowels is BS.

    How can you set aside your human efforts at merits? How can you follow God’s (actual) will?

  7. Hello Fediverse, hello Bits&Baeume,

    I’ve moved recently, time for a (re)introduction — and a heartfelt Thank You! to @ben

    I am a writer, copywriter, online editor, and I generally write a lot; I design websites with plain HTML/CSS/JS or using WordPress and other CMS; occasionally I work as a speaker, podcast producer, sound designer — to mention the most important bits.

    My blog: wernerprise.com/blog (mostly German, but I am considering making it bilingual at some point.)

    Climate catastrophe is on my mind, degrowth close to my heart; capitalism needs a short leash!

    Also, I still take SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 very seriously. Thus:

  8. Tonight at 7pm ET we're hosting organizer and filmmaker Marisa Holmes in conversation with media studies scholar @ntnsndr! In "Organizing Occupy Wall Street," Holmes analyzes the movement as a core organizer involved from start to finish. She reveals how #OWS organized in practice, which experiments were most successful, and what future generations can learn.

    Register for this free event at firestorm.coop/events/3097-mar (link in bio), where you can also pick up a copy of “Organizing Occupy Wall Street." Can't make the event? No worries! Register and we'll send you a recording once it's posted to our YouTube channel.

    "[M]ovement history at its best: meticulous, direct, and expansive in revolutionary scope. Providing a crucial corrective to all too many reductive Occupy narratives, Holmes emphasizes the movement's context in international struggles and centers it's all-too-overlooked form as a horizontalist, richly lived radical experiment. This is the Occupy we need to remember; these are the practices we must carry forward."
    —Natasha Lennard, author of "Being Numerous: Essays on Non-Fascist Life"

  9. I’m not megarich (gardener, go figure) but I am in the luxurious position of donating small sums to Good Causes. I use #Wikipedia & #WikimediaCommons for plant reference & photos, and @internetarchive mostly for their amazing online library.

    So, ker-ching, there goes my small change. Help out, but only if you can afford to

  10. To be fair we don't actually prescribe to #leftRightParadigm thinking — that is how we are #divided up into little confused tribes, how they trigger meatBrained #tribalism.

    We are so much #better and more effective when we realise #weAreThe99Percent.
