all hexbear's powerposters should and create fresh anonymous accounts. there's a weird "cool kid club" dynamic with the same few names controlling the site's culture.

meh, he's the youth engagement wing of western leftism. he recognizes if he rocks the boat too much, he loses access to the platforms that enable him to do his work. his influence is all online and his wealth is tenuous, what meaningful interference could he possibly run?

in a state where every working class person is paying 50% of their income for a roof over their heads, hearing the democrats are giving free housing to """the undeserving poor""" may not be so popular. or maybe it would, idk anymore.

i have an apple tree in the backyard that does a great job being a meeting spot for earwigs and for dumping apples all over the yard. I sprayed the crop with neem oil and it helped with some of the fruits but most still have borer holes in them

today i was reading about the LA Riots, and in each instance of "awful group of black men attack innocent passerby", there is a direct follow up of "black men see victim of attack and render immediate aid". but all my life i only heard about the first part, so i agree with your point that even when poor people "do the right thing" in these situations it gets ignored.

i was just reading an article that covers this exact topic. the most memorable part was when the inventor of the lunchable mentions that his grandkids have never had one because the parents try to keep to organic, whole foods.

this is really cool and it's great to be part of a community that embraces our trans comrades, or should i say a community of trans comrades that embraces its cis minority.
am i reading the results correctly that very few cis women responded to the survey/are present on hexbear? "No votes by pronoun" has a dark grey sliver which i assume would be "she/her", implying cis women?

Wildlife is a good album, but I prefer Rooms of the House and Somewhere at the Bottom so much more. I was listening to LD's split with Touche Amore earlier today. I saw them together on that tour with Envy in san francisco and it was a very memorable show.

nice to see you keeping your spirits up. job hunting was the most soul draining experience i've ever had. i hope one of these works out for you.
i planted pumpkin, corn, and watermelon seeds last saturday. they've been on a heat pad, under a grow light, and the first sprouts have started popping up as of today. it's pretty exciting. got sunny spots in the yard planned out to plop the biodegradable planter pots into with lots of mulch, earthworm castings, kelp meal, etc ready to feed these beasts.

crazy how the traditions america spent 300 years cultivating keep popping up in weird and troubling ways. a black friend's parents bought their house in the 80s and the property had a racially restrictive covenant on the property (not enforced, but the phrasing was there)
as evidenced by [this](https://hexbear.net/post/2449813?scrollToComments=false) thread, we should have a /c/pics comm
Besides the annoying intro, I think this is my favorite Nirvana song. or maybe it's just their most punk song. either way, play us off, hexreplybot.
I was in twitch chat, watching some goobers discuss their geopolitical predictions for the next few years (spoiler: they're very afraid of russia) and i got to thinking about May 1968 in Paris. Which i actually know very little about, so i found this article, skimmed it, and found a few parts i liked. Selected excerpts below: >1968 can be seen as the moment when the two dominant narratives on the left – social democracy and communism – were both called into question. > >Social democracy had dominated mainstream progressive discourse since the end of the 19th century. Now it was seen as irredeemably complicit in the maintenance of a status quo that seemed to consecrate a materialist, routine form of life offering very little to the young or to the political imagination... >Social democratic politics was held as “capitalism with a human face”. It accepted the necessity for the market order and so, as far as ’68 critics of capitalism were concerned, for exploitation, alienation and the division of society into pharaohs and slaves. >By 1968, the working class had given up on the dream of its own emancipation in favour of chatter around holiday pay, generous pensions and the trifles that made existing life more bearable. It had lost its heroic capabilities, settling instead for indolent acceptance of a comfortable “air-conditioned” existence. >The net result was a politics of refusal – of social democracy, of communism, of capitalism, of elites, vanguards, intellectuals, and so on and so forth. But where, it could legitimately be asked, was affirmation? > >Those engaged in the uprising were clear about what they were against; they were less clear in terms of what they were actually for in concrete, institutional terms. > >So, 1968 represents the end of grand narratives in politics. It was an uprising against something; less for something else. >The sense of ’68 as a refusal lives on in contemporary politics. We don’t have a redemptive ideology to place our hopes on. We don’t believe the “experts”. We don’t think there’s a formula for collective planetary happiness. We have individualised politics to the point where refusal is a first, and quite often last, resort. i didn't read the whole thing, but appreciated the perspective. gives me "history doesn't repeat but it rhymes" vibes.
