Rise Up

 Copying and pasting from ryrda wong:

The admirable Mother Jones have brought out their new FIGHT LIKE HELL collection of t-shirts, hoodies, etc., with designs based round the famous "Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living" quote from the original Mary Harris "Mother" Jones (and also some RISE UP designs if you want to go for that Hamilton vibe).

If You Live In The San Francsico Bay Area....

If you want to meet fellow fans who are fighting Trump? Or just want to meet fellow fans to work on self-care and fandom love?  If you want to build up your local personal contacts?  Drop me a PM or leave a comment at my blog.

Feel free to reblog, tweet etc.

edited: In a conservative city/state area? Feeling lonely and isolated and disempowered?  If  you were around for slash fandom in the 1970s-1990s, just remember how hard it was to find a fellow slash fan. But we managed. 

Here is a step by step guide on how to connect with other people - locally - to fight Trump. It only requires

1. 10 people from your local congress district (it can be less)
2. 2-3 hours a month
3. Two organizers
4. Access to an email list/group communication methods and a willingness to tweet/fb/blog about your activities,
5. Remember - you don;t have to fight everything. Just pick 3-4 key issues your group think are important.

The same tools can be used to create a local fan group for self-care and fandom love. Finding local fans will be crucial over the next years because local fans = people who can make a real, practical difference in your daily life (ex: Job networking, housing networking etc)

This week

 Spent more time at my mom's this week as she's struggling with health issues.  xlorp also came down with a cold and has been working from home all week (no sick time allowed, but at least working from home was an option).  As a result, my own health is teetering. On the Friday weekly cooking,  I used the wrong meat in a dish, forgot  that I had another dish to prepare and had to come up with a new recipe because I had used up the meat, pulled on the wrong gloves (and wondered why my hands had shrunken), and  have carried items round and round, from room to room trying to figure out why I was holding them.
