It's that they have clipboards.

I've grown resigned that in order to topple this regime we're gonna have to use traditional resistance plus creativity.

But there's something about the deliberateness of the costume plus the clipboard that's *chef's kiss*

Where'd you get that info?

I ask not out of scepticism but because I'm sometimes long on theory and short on recent data.

It'd be nice to have some visual aids.

That image is striking!

Like the southern gerrymandering maps. When the south is, like, mostly black people.

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

The idea, I think, is to be but one branch of a network. To draw attention and inspire solidarity. As far as I know people are still boycotting tesla, target, Amazon, etc. People like mamdani are growing in popularity. Some universities are saying fuck off to the compact.

But what do I know?

This morning I was looking through a category called "hits from the 80s" and it was like Beverly hills cop, breakfast club, etc and then an Asian animated movie about two kids orphaned by war

Just like..

One of these things is not like the other

Autistic solidarity should be rooted in justice, not sameness. We don’t all experience the world the same and that’s especially true across racial lines. Learn, listen, and don’t center whiteness in the convo

"Waging non violent struggle" by gene sharp isn't a bad starting point if you're interested.

Ask chat gpt if you have to, I guess, but it's nit a difficult read

it would be kind of neat to see a massive movement of sustained objection that topples a regime like has happened a lot many many times around the world because that’s basically how it’s done

I've literally only read the hobbit. And that was like as a kid. I remember there being riddles, and like...monster spiders? I'm weird.

I appreciate what you're going for though. I kinda feel like I should watch those movies now, but aren't they like 5 hours a piece or something?

Barryation @barryation.bsky.social · 21h

I looked it up and was like "oh Sean bean! Doesn't he die in that?"

I never watched lord of the rings, but. Lot of my friends did. I'm not sure how anybody could relate lord of the rings to this, but I never watched the movies so what do I know?

I do remember him as a meme though
