It's unlikely the algorithm will show them truthful stories about what is happening, but they are more likely to pay attention and believe it when they see it coming from a beloved granddaughter or friend of the family. Use what you have, it's more effective than you might think.

Basically the only reason I still have a Facebook account is because it's the preferred social media of all of my older relatives + their friends, and it's the best way for me to spread this information to them when they otherwise might not see it.

To everyone who says, "But this won't matter": *MAKE IT MATTER.*

You have that power! This is not inside baseball and your friends and neighbors will likely be appalled. And if they're *not* appalled, don't be cynical yourself. Take the lead, give the cue.

#OtD 14 Oct 1977 anti-gay crusader Anita Bryant was "pied" by Thom Higgins, a gay rights activist. She then began praying and burst into tears. Following a boycott, she lost her job as brand ambassador for Florida orange juice. More LGBT+ history here: workingclasshistory.com/tag/lgbtq/

Remember, for every person doing frontline work(anything involving active confrontation be it frog protests or anything spicier and more kinetic in nature), there is a critical need for something like seventeen people doing rear echelon work of every skill type.

"So what do you suggest we do to fight Trump?"

Find people in your community who need help, and help them. We all have skills. Maybe it's giving rides to people who don't have cars. Maybe it's going to the grocery store so your immigrant or racialized neighbors don't have to when ICE is around.

Remember that Microsoft is ending regular support for Windows 10 on October 14th! Get on that ESU to get a free year of security updates if you can! You can sign up for it after that date fortunately, but better safe than oh no my Win10 machine is now an endless malware generator

Edwyn "Omahdon" Tiong @edwyntiong.com · 24d

My PC simply does not want to upgrade to Windows 11 (nor do I, honestly) but turns out my copy of Windows 10 is eligible for the Extended Security Updates programme that gives that one last gasp of a year to work out my options (probably a Win11 lappy at some point).

Nash @radiodeadair.com · 24d

If you're still running Windows 10, here are your options:

- Upgrade to Windows 11.
- Jump through the strange, esoteric hoops Microsoft has provided to give you exactly one more year of support. No one knows how to do this.
- Switch to Linux.

That's it. Pick one and leave techies alone.

The single act you can take with the biggest antifascist impact is wearing an n95 in public.

Illness & disability most harm the communities that fascists target: trans, disability, BIPOC, immigrant, poor, &c.

COVID, measles, &c are bullets. Your maskless face is the gun.

I can't imagine having such a bleakly void soul that you can only imagine people doing the right thing if they're being paid for it. These ghouls don't do anything without a personal incentive, concepts like "giving a fuck about my fellow humans" doesn't even register as a possibility
