Not the types of places I’m talking about, but yes I run a grassroots organization, volunteer with several others and have also volunteered at bigger non-profits for many years. I can see where you’re coming from at non-profit orgs but when you’re in a completely volunteer run organization, depending on what it is, it’s absolutely a different environment. Yes, there’s always interpersonal conflict, but you move on because you have to. And of course there’s burnout but that’s why you take breaks.

As foe the mental health thing, its the only thing that pulled me out of a deep depression and I have other friends that have said the same. If it’s not right for you, it’s not right for you, but for some people it works.

You know where you can find people who generally don’t suck and are less likely to be shallow capitalist boogers? Organizing spaces. Find someone doing something good locally. Get into social spaces that are “woke” where people are awesome and accommodating to mental health concerns and generally just want to make the world a better place. Importantly, make sure you find local folks and get out of the internet a bit.

It’s getting two birds stoned at once, you do something good in this world that is, for the most part, going to shit, and you also gain friends, make nice memories, and hopefully start to heal.

If y’all don’t wanna know me, don’t follow ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I used to mix them because coke was too sugary and coke zero doesnt taste very good

That is such a poorly written heading I felt like I was having a seizure.

Three Israeli citizens facing conscription into the Israel Defense Forces have been granted the right to reapply for protection visas in Australia, after a government tribunal found they held a genuine fear they would be forced to break international humanitarian law in Gaza.

I’ve only ever heard it used by comedians explaining how knowing the difference makes you sound like a pedophile, so I must be seeing the right crowd.

I block ads on pretty well everything, but my IG algo has me down pat. I actually jokingly blame it for my leftist radicalization (though really, that started when I first listened to Shakira sing about corrupt capitalists when I was like 6 years old).

Dementia patients are known to do this because, you know, dementia. It’s actually really sad.

I don’t care what it is, I fucking hate it, thanks.

Wait ew I didnt know paw patrol was Canadian why are we doing this

I know what community we’re in but like… There has to be a line right.

I would say both are norms and harmful consequences of the patriarchy tbh

Good pup or good kitten. I’m not a furry but you hit me up with that and i’ll be whatever you like lmao.

The actual response to that should be ‘okay, then let’s force those companies to pay better and improve working solutions for everyone including immigrants’.

But yeah you’re not gonna convince racists.

Yesss I hate when people get a bad taste for unions just because they have a shitty steward. It can make such a huge difference to feel like someone is on your side in those types of situations. While I understand that sometimes as stewards our hands are tied, it costs nothing to empathize with another human and help them feel heard.

I had a similar thought of like a score of how much they like themselves.

Seems pretty invasive but I think it would be a reminder to be patient and kind.

It’s not awkward to ask, I appreciate it when people do. I use any of them so it’s awkward to respond, but it’s nice that people care hahah.

Tanis is a nice name.

Hi Taurus, I hope your birthday went well. I’m sorry that it seems I missed it.
