This thread is for myself and other white folk to share things we read and ways we can confront and deal with our Whiteness and work towards Anti-Racism.

I am white. I was raised to be racist by my white parents. I am trying to be anti-racist. I'm gonna fail sometimes. This thread is for me to connect with myself and other white folk to read work by Black authors and activists and work on our shit.

FYI: i joke about and much like other leftists.

But actual premeditated violence or murderous intent makes me deeply uncomfortable bc I've been to that place and hate it. So uhh. Not on my TL plz/I may trust you less. And if you think there isn't a difference between self defense and premeditated "self defense" plz think again.

In conclusion: punch don't kill nazis.

Hey,

Head's up.
If you want to recommend something to me, just mention it offhand and something you liked about it.

The more you push the more i'm NEVER EVER GOING TO READ IT.

Sorry. It's a brain thing.

Re- #introduction

I have some more followers now and have mostly settled into my mastodon self.

Generally I post about #uspol , #mnpol , #localpol regarding the MSP area, #zoning and #urbanism , #socialism but from a pro-market and pro federation of peoples/larger groups are fine actually perspective and mental health stuff about #adhd #anxiety and #arfid or #pickiness with food and sensory issues.

Sometimes there are dog pics and home renovation stuff. Enjoy!

it did not work. ahh well.

doing a linux

also the stylus i got is not compatible, despite being made by the same manufacturer. *sadface* Ahh well. guess i'll just have to figure out a different pen solution and use the keyboard like a normal person for right now.

the scrolling is the opposite of what i am used to and is therefore very confusing.

Brit's new laptop has logged on.

We now have very nice holes in the ceiling upstairs on purpose. ^_^ the room is much brighter! Also warmer? And hubby and I worked hard on improving the space and getting it ready for repainting. (Yay new paint!!)

Got gutters repaired post ice dams as well. Woot.

Overall today was pretty good. But having so many things going on [to do list was like 10+ things] made my head hurt and I had super adhd hyper talking during therapy today.

But meh! It's fine.

I think this race is mostly about the redistricting thing?

OOOOf

So, Kim Ellison is the current school board member. (and is related to the other Ellison's of local politics) so ya know, i might just vote her in again as she helped us just get MPD out of the school district...

But I'm doing my due diligence and Doug Mann has a link on FB to E-democracy. That's an automatic dismissal right?

Made chili. Tried it. It was missing something. Turns out that was salt. If something needs "brightness" it's probably missing salt.

Happy Birthday @fysicscat !

Hello from your msp-local only insomnia poster.

Hope you sleeping folk are dreaming well.

Panel 2 Al continues:
I'm scared that the body will do its job.
What if I lose everything people had hung onto the old Alistair Stirling?
What if I lose YOU?
What if you don't love me anymore?

Panel 3, AL with head in their hands:
I'm scared of changing.
I hate that I need it so bad.
I hate how difficult I've made things just by staying alive.
