Day 01: Acorn

I am doing peachtober hosted by @furrylittlepeach.bsky.social over on ig! I'll do my best to remember to post them here too ;)

Digital illustration of a giant acorn with a hollowed out inside where there is a little elf/fairy person sleeping with a wee acorn hat. They have a whole bed and blanket. The acorn is surrounded by stars and a border of oak leaves, branches, and more acorns.

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

Remember back in January when all these sage politics-knowers were writing about how there had been a vibe shift and now the resistance was over?

The average monthly food stamp benefit in America is $322 per month, per household that receives said benefit.

About 42 million Americans likely will not receive their food stamps in November.

Oh, and the U.S. just gave $20 billion to Argentina.

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 23h

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

Telling moment: I was walking back from the rally, but a couple miles from it, carrying nothing but my gigantic American flag. An eight year old on his bike sees me with it and yells "No Kings!!" with absolute conviction.

My friends, they have lost the flag.

When there’s so clearly more people who don’t want fascism than do want fascism it becomes pretty fucking unignorable that the Democratic Party has a widespread candidate, platform and messaging problem. Every election is theirs to lose, and they do.

The inflatable costume thing with the protesters is really good because it renders the body armor/CoD weaponry aesthetic of the ICE Nazis even more ridiculous than it already was. Suiting up like Rambo to face down a dancing frog. No coming back from that

the thing about a lot of the wine moms who mobilized for the Women's March a decade ago is that they stayed mobilized all that time! my aunt's local Women's March Facebook group became an ongoing grassroots organizing effort to elect local pro-choice women Dems in her small North Carolina town

Cameron @cameroncorduroy.bsky.social · 23h

every smug internet communist tweet about showing up to a No Kings protest with an abolish ICE shirt to scare the libs is getting completely mogged by the real-life winemoms showing up with slogans like "ICE will melt in hell"

folks can complain about the effectiveness of scheduled orderly mass protest but to think about it another way its the closest thing we have to the opening scene of A Muppet Christmas Carol where all the muppets sing "there goes Mr. Dipshit, there goes Mr. Ass" to Scrooge and it clearly bothered him

They'll cast these rallies as "angry" but everyone there is plainly having a great time because it's fun to get together with like-minded people to engage in the oldest American tradition: telling a tyrant to eat shit

The teeny tiny No Kings things in very red areas are so huge

Say like five or six people show up. None of them knew each other before. Suddenly they’re all friends. And maybe from that you get a group that does longer-term organizing that can punch *way* above its weight considering where it is

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

I didn't take pics but the feeling of being in a group of people with no visible beginning or end was so thrilling. The opposite of online anomie, and a living counterpoint to the wary, isolated, compartmentalized world the shitheads want to make. It's simple and obvious I guess but it means a lot.

In the top panel the chaotic queer cat digs into their rainbow bag and tells their corvid friend “it’s not safe to go alone.”
The larger bottom panel zooms in on the corvid’s face, shining with awe, as the cat’s paw gives them a glowing dagger with rainbow facets along the handle. The hand guard is in trans and poc colors to make the full progress pride flag. “Take this.”
