I just want to be more positive in my life as I see the world growing number of challenges as I like to say. Loving strangers is helping me out and preaching class solidarity.
Lots of the usual stuff, but speaking of class, when I get unexpectedly positive reactions for outreach. When handing out fliers at a train station, I’d often see someone instinctually ignore us for handing out stuff, but when I announce the reason (e.g. protesting a local weapons factory supplying the ongoing genocide, or for my union organizing to fight issues affecting our workers) some people double back and grab one, or even thank us for volunteering. It’s heartwarming and validating. Far more people showing interest or support than the one or two grumpy reactionaries.
I don’t even know, in my opinion it’s better to find good people with whom you will then continue to communicate, rather than these one-time conversations and then forget about them.
Cat
I have a kitten that will not leave me alone
Dead idf soldiers.
Nice. I enjoyed wearing the Palestine flag at no kings day
There are a lot of things that make me happy to at least some degree. Just going in order of what I remember, there is, finding uses for older pieces of technology, listening to music that is upbeat and “energetic” (if that’s the right word to use), playing games with good gameplay and stories (even if they can get depressing sometimes), and while it’s been a while since I’ve last watching one, watching Anime can also make me happy. There are also some other things but I’ve either forgotten them or I just don’t feel like mentioning them.
Building gadgets, modding electronics, and documenting it all so other people can try it out too. In a way, I’d like it to be my job, but my ideas aren’t that profitable and I’m sure selling off my hobby to capitalism would suck the fun out of it.
I’ve been looking into WiFi trackers and Bluetooth mesh. It would be interesting conversation old wireless routers into a mesh networks
hahahahahahaha I have disthymia, damn you 🙃
I think I have the same and it’s really good damn annoying
When I poop before I have to leave the house in the morning. I’m free.
Hey I’m doing that right now
Poop at work, get paid!
I’d much rather poop at home.
Hanging out with my partner, working out, reading (Marxist-Leninist theory as well as general fiction like sci-fi), gaming, making espresso, and running TTRPGs.
Have you read the culture series? I just found out about it. It’s post scarcity society, might be up your alley!
Haven’t heard of it, thanks for the rec! I’ll check it out!
My dog. He’s such a doofus but he’s beautiful and very funny, always getting distracted by bugs or plant seeds floating about.
Music, films, and video games. Probably just art in general. Also having friends but I haven’t had any irl ones in a while.
Edit: I got P.T. running on a hacked PS4 and that made me real happy. Especially because I didn’t know what I was doing.
Teaching something to someone and seeing them succeed at that after.
Such a great feeling!
For me it’s making something. Mostly coding a new feature on my personal project. Making a new map/plot.
Sometimes just winning a videogame match, or getting that in game achievement.
Which games?
I don’t do actual video game with steam or ps5 and such, so I don’t know if you’re into it.
Me and my wife play this game called bomb squad, it’s one of a very few games that run natively on linux (without steam and such), is free to install/play and works with game controllers.
My husband, chi tea latte, rainy fall weather, being home, in bed under the blankets.
What is your Chai of choice?
Been trying to figure that out for decades, but I have found that music, weed, and cuddles does wonders
