I'm well. Went to a pro-Palestine rally yesterday, have a flash-protest today (meaning off of social media to prevent pig presence), have one tomorrow, and am going to the national march on Nov. 4th that I posted a few days ago.
The protest today is at a "defense" manufacturing company which is producing weapons and vehicles being used in Israel at this moment. A few parties I'm involved with are organizing it.
There seems to be a lot more support for Palestine than I imagined. We got lots of supportive honks yesterday. There were a few zionist apologist counter-protestors but they were vastly outnumbered. It's pretty cool to see.
I'm getting very involved in everything organizing and I love it. On a personal level, I'm doing well too. Sober for 75 days, feeling great. Just got back from a nephrologist and it looks like my kidneys are healing from the meth use. Schooling is going decent and I'm finding a lot of good connections through party activities. Things are looking up.
Only complaint is the relative alienation I have in my community. It's a crackerburb. I have to drive a good 30 minutes before I get to anyone who thinks like us. Other than that, I'm chilling.
Glad to hear things aren't horrible for you. Keep it up with the party stuff, that's really encouraging to hear. 14% is insane, genuinely. Doesn't sound like a lot but for a European/Western nation that's brilliant.
Crackerburbs really are a uniquely depraved feeling.
I'm really happy for you Teezy, you deserve this comeup.
Yeah, as someone who likes nature I’m sickened traveling most places in the US that aren’t mostly forest. On the highway all you can see is invasives and destructive industrial agriculture. In suburban or rural places there are so many lawns. Cities suck too with all the cars and lack of greenery most places. At least where I live I have a bit of greenery and can feel good about not wasting land with sprawling lawn and spread out living.
Congrats on the sobriety! I have 11 days sober from alcohol as of today, stay strong comrade ;) By the way, I've been thinking of starting a sober community, would you mind if I PMd you when I do? I'm going to try and grow it into a small, but active communuty hopefully.
That's fucking great, the first days are the hardest. Keep going, it gets better I swear.
That would be awesome! Definitely hit me up whenever.
For sure. It's been a great past two weeks though. I'm definitetly feeling more like myself again.
Sweet! I just created it. It's called sobriety, I wanted a space where everyone could go to stay sober, not just alcoholics or a particular drug. Here's the link:

I'll he making a sticky sometime today when I get to the computer.
Welcome, member number uno! ;D
Good to see you having a positive streak, and great to see you organizing as well. I'm glad you find orgs to be with.
Congrats on the sobriety as well. As someone who had to clean themselves of drug use I know how hard it can be and 75 days is huge.
Keep moving 💪🏼
Much love to you, comrade. Keep the head up
Nice, I heard about the DC protest at the one I went to and kinda wanna go.
