Good advice. This is a team sport. A relay where sometimes we just have to hand over the baton until we can jump back in.

Mobile Frame Zero: Firebrands by Meguey & Vincent Baker, et al The messy lives of Mobile Frame pilots

13: There's a nonzero chance that @lumpley.bsky.social @megueyb.bsky.social made a perfect game with Mobile Frame Zero: Firebrands. Every session of it I've ever played or heard of has left scars and memories for *years* after. lumpley.itch.io/firebrands

general strike until they reconvene. If they can 'strike' and not do the job they were elected and paid to do, so can everyone else.

Oh heck! I'm a fool!

When you're tired...rest. But while you're resting? Plan.
Line up your next move.
Because quitting is how they win.
Action is how you win. How WE win.
Every damn day is an election...so treat it like one.
Wake up. Show up. Move the needle.
No excuses. No surrender. Together...we have power.

When people talk about terraforming Mars, remember that there is no way to make Mars habitable that couldn't also be used to fix Earth's problems for a thousandth of the price.

FBI does not need a judge to release Epstein information.

Fact.

For a decade, we had a black raspberry bramble that produced gallons of berries every summer, to the point we gave them away. When it died & we paid $12 for 1 pint? Actual tears.
The new canes just bore fruit this year. Thank goodness.

Oh hey! I figured it out! This is the Y2K bug come to life & running rampant through every part of the complicated & interconnected system of bureaucracy that keeps / kept the US & the global economy functioning! Complete with planes falling out of the sky due to shredded air traffic infrastructure!

I basically never interrupt someone reading in public. If they set the book/magazine/e-reader/phone down, or look around for a minute, I might make a quick “how are you liking that book/article/etc?” sort of comment, but reading alone in public is a clear “I’m taking my own space” sign to me.

Back at you.

Yep, that's in the next post in the thread :)

Etsy will have you set for this.

Moved? Basic morning stuff, gotta stretch out my sore wrist in prep for barn work.
Nature? Loving the dappled light through the tree outside the window!
Connections? Yep!
Practice? Yep!
Democracy? Yep!

Here's my answers at the moment, because mutual accountability is good for me.

Hydrated? Coffee, some water. Need to refill my water bottle.
Meds? Soon, with food.
Hygiene? Showering after work in the barn.
Eaten? It's been too hot to eat a lot, so not yet, but I will in a bit.

Short list for ease of answering/re-posting/etc:
Hydrated?
Meds?
Hygiene?
Eaten?
Moved?
Nature?
Connections?
Practice?
Democracy?

Today I'm adding two more:
Have you done your practice? (spiritual or mental or artistic etc etc)
Have you done a democracy? (resistance, voting, allyship, called an elected, etc etc)

Structure can help when things get tough. If this helps you too, that's really cool.

I added some "bonus questions" a couple years back when I introduced this to my Apocalypse World discord server

Have you moved your body? (adjusting your posture counts!)
Have you connected with nature? (pets & looking out windows count!)
Have you connected with a friend? (digitally counts!)

There's a #DailyQuestions practice that helps with basic well-being, started by @ladylakira.bsky.social back in the G+ days. It still helps me on the regular, so here it is again:

Dear friends:
Have you hydrated?
Have you taken your meds?
Have you showered/done a hygiene?
Have you eaten?

I followed the cat.

A very important note, for folks who will understand it:
IWNAY is DESCRIPTIVE, not PRESCRIPTIVE. It's an acknowledgment of _how we have played_, not a contract we set out to meet. That's deeply important. #StayAnalog

Made it!

Ok, I have 30 mins to do everything I need to do in order to be glued to my seat for Generation Analog section on punk sex & gender in games and education!! #StayAnalog

Or in 1980, with Reagan disconnecting wages from corporate profits, so wages could stagnate while corporate profits soared.

I've seen some talk about how we are witnessing the end of the professoriate as we know it and this may be true, but I think it's bigger: it's the decimation of the mission-oriented profession.

Want to make a middle-class living serving the public good? Capitalism doesn't want that for you.
