  • I am doing better as I realize a lot of things are out of my hands.

    I voted, show up to protests when I can, boycott the companies at Trump’s inauguration.

    So I joined a gym to go to classes to force myself out of the house and trying to read more to deprogram the effects of social media on my attention span.

    But overall im exhausted and have this underlying worry of what dreams I’ve been having lately. I don’t believe that much in messages received in dreams but I’ve had some trippy moments lately.

    Yeah that’s a great point. Soon as I saw the companies at the Inauguration I deleted social media platforms owned by them and switched to DuckDuckGo/Firefox. Ive been on Linux Mint for some time.

    Protesting with our wallets and going against the whole consumerism culture of these oligarchs is definitely the way to go. :)

    I honestly don’t think these one off protests will force any change personally. They are a start to network and I think we should shift protests to be places to centralize people to a method of communication.

    But the only thing that would force the hand of change is a general strike for weeks/months like Georgia is doing.

    One decentralized protest organizer is starting a method of collecting sign ups to organize such a protest. Im not sure who the original organizer is but id rather give trust that something will come of it.

    Personally, I think I will see if I can be more involved in my local state politics and volunteering. Might see if I can run for local office or if that is feasible.
