i truly recommend plum village’s app, it’s entirely free and has extremely detailed guides (in spanish as well!) as well as videos explaining the basics and ethos of meditation down to how to sit and how to breathe

This is the Western Alaska animal nonprofit working to rescue the pets in Kipnuk.

The residents of Kipnuk are under a mandatory evac order but can not bring their pets with them. Supporting this group will help with charter aircraft, etc.

Clusters Near and Far - Messier 35 and NGC 2158 - From Rolf Wahl Olsen - https://flic.kr/p/UgDqcm

The contrasting open star clusters Messier 35 and NGC 2158 are located in the constellation Gemini. First discovered by the astronomer
Philippe Loys de Chéseaux in 1745, it was later included by Charles Messier in his "Catalogue des Nébuleuses et des Amas d'Étoiles" ("Catalogue of Nebulae and Star Clusters"); the famous list of Messier objects.
Messier 35 in the upper left of the image is a nearby young star cluster, some 2800 light years distant and about 150 million years old. It covers an area of sky similar to that of the full Moon and contains approximately 2500 stars. Most are bright and blue, having not yet burned out their supply of Hydrogen.
Southwest of Messier 35, in the bottom right, lies NGC 2158 which is nearly four times more distant and contains many more stars. It is also much older, estimated to be some 2 billion years old. All its blue giant stars have burned out long ago and only the orange glow of its older stars remain. NGC 2158 was once though to be a globular cluster due to its compact nature.
Open star clusters are groups of stars that have formed from a single cloud of gas and dust at roughly the same time. Their individual stars are more or less bound to each other by gravity but may become dispersed over time as the cluster orbits through the plane of the Milky Way and interact with other clusters and clouds.

What are you good at? Got some skills? Are you a good talker? A gardener? A cook? A laborer? Got a closet full of coats that don’t fit your kids but might fit the kids whose mom just got deported? C’mon friends, there’s space for you in the movement. Join it. Pick up the tools for the time you got

Same shit here: think the protest is a waste of time? Ok, fine, join a community patrol. Make coffee and pass out care packages to the unhoused. Door knock for the local candidate that promises to do smthg about ICE. Help a frutero with an extra 200% tip. So on and so on

The biggest lesson I’ve learned from my time in the labor movement is this: solidarity is a *verb*—and that action takes many forms. Can’t hit the picket line? Pick up the phone and get a member off the couch. Can’t make the time to phone tree but have a half hour on the weekend? Help make signs.

My point is—make sure to link up with an org that’ll help you get into longterm organizing.

Protests aren’t effective warnings for the powerful if you aren’t backing it up with more organizing outside of it. Find the local coalition partner you like, introduce yourself, and stand under their banner

If you get involved and find that your time and energy is better spent elsewhere, then…go elsewhere. There’s a group doing *something* under every revolutionary category you can think of…just go. Do the thing.

Stop yelling about effectiveness online or whatever, any small act is a worthwhile one
