#TylerChilders gets it.
"It's the worst that it's been since the last time it happened...
How many boys could they haul off this mountain
Shoot full of holes, cuffed, and laid in the streets
'Til we come in to town in a stark ravin' anger
Looking for answers and armed to the teeth"
Name for Southern Appalachian antifascist organization:
Hellbenders
"We're not going straight to hell. We'll take the scenic route."
These times are too much for any thinking, feeling person to handle.
That's why RPGs are better with a party. 
Unfortunately IRL local #community & #MutualAid groups are tough to come by for a variety of reasons. One of my many goals is to encourage them whenever possible, but until then we have the Fediverse.
I wonder how many people reading this are lonely. Do you have more time on your hands than friends?
If so, are you willing to do 2 simple things? 1)Reply to this thread,then 2) find someone else who has replied and say hi 
Did you know that you don't have to buy a police scanner to listen to most of the traffic?
Some great info:
"Scanner Radio for Android (there is an iOS port, IIRC). Listen to near-realtime feeds of public safety channels across the US. Great way to stay informed.
There's a free version of the app but the paid version has no ads and some other goodies. Been using it almost daily since 2012 or so."
I've been inspired to finally seed my local Little Free Libraries with antifascist literature and radical zines.

Let's try this again. 
"There needs to be a word for rejection of #enshittified corporate tech in favour of open tech with no agenda beyond its nominal function.
The term 'neo-Luddism' doesn't feel right.
Any suggestions?"

Original thread that brought up a couple options. I like that #FediPunk also includes supporting #Fediverse artists. What do you think?

Now seems like a great time to mention a couple of organizations that are going to need additional help to meet the need.
Rainbow Railroad & PFLAG
https://www.rainbowrailroad.org
"We help at-risk LGBTQI+ people get to safety.
In countries around the world, LGBTQI+ people face violence and oppression simply because of who they love or who they are. We help them get to safety."
#PFLAG has local chapters throughout the country and provide resources & community to parents of LGBTQ+ kids. I have participated in one of their zoom calls before & they are doing great work.
Atlanta chapter

Studies have shown that not a single person who has listened to "This Cassette Kills Fascists" #TCKF has gone onto vote for a #fascist.
"Save the world, listen to music."

Have you ever made a piece of #HeirloomArt or written a work of #HeirloomFiction? 
Let's create myth & leave behind legends!
You know what's more dangerous than 1 liar who thinks they're fooling everyone?
Millions of people who have fooled themselves.
This post brought to you by the SUV with the "Be Kind" AND thin blue line stickers. Plus the house that I saw yesterday with both a "Be Kind" sign AND a trump/vance sign.
Brian Kemp is using the Klan’s playbook to steal Georgia. This goes way beyond legal but unethical voter roll purges. Where are the Feds?

The people that need to hear this are probably not on the fediverse, but refugees & immigrants have improved every community that they are given the opportunity to. Historically and presently.
If you were nodding along in agreement, then I have a question. Especially if you live in the #USA
How can we visibly show support to refugees, migrants & immigrants to counter the hate & vitriol coming from the right?
"Piss off a fascist today & build community. They hate that shit."
Helping Appalachia webcast on Ancestry Roads will be starting in ~30 minutes.
Hear from @AncestryRoads & @ai6yr about the current status of WNC & the Southern Appalachains as people start to dig themselves out & start the LONG process of recovery from #Helene.
Prviate gains and public consequences.
An entire county is on a shelter in place order because a pool chemical company was too cheap to do business safely.
