I am so tired of trying to get others to help me schedule things in advance......it is the single most frustrating part of any event planning for me
k
I'm in love with Massachusetts
mutual aid, #zines, DIY, punk, anarchy, the commons, #CommunityFridges, public health, covid awareness, #WearAMask, #CleanTheAir, #neocities, websites, ludditism, #AntiWork, #Massachusetts, scamming copies
is it gauche to share bluesky screencaps here (like fun ones not shitty discourse or mean ones)
am I annoying today or did I just get my period? both?
Feeling that psychic toll of being one of only 4 people I see masked at the (very crowded) grocery store... haven't felt this in a while and I'm really in my head about it.
The only people I see masked anymore in my area are elderly Asian or Latinx people, and it's always just a surgical mask.
I wish we all cared to protect ourselves and one another like they still do.
*Of course I also wish that I had the energy to maskbloc more...I do leave a pile of respirators at the entrance when I can (and at the community fridge and free table etc) but I fully respect the local code of not tryna chat with other shoppers; I simply cannnnot be in canvassing mode at Market Basket on a Wednesday (IYKYK).

RE: @xeroxerox@kolektiva.social
looking up my landlord's tax bills for our building because it's one of the reasons he cited for the increase --
taxes have only gone up $300 this year. and that's for the entire 3-unit house, not per-unit.
he definitely just printed out the form letter and filled in the numbers. it also mentions the rising cost of "utilities" and "trash collection" which he doesn't even pay for. such bullshit man.

I just refreshed the layout of the Massachusetts Community Fridge directory! It's still v much a work in progress, but please check it out and share widely. This layout should be more mobile friendly and the font sizes more accessible. Feedback welcome!
🌹 Happy May Day!
Fan-Listings has been updated for May, and our newsletter will be sent out shortly 💌
(the site is actually updated every few days, but I'm tryna to remind folks when the next month is up!!!)
as a reminder, http://fan-listings.neocities.org/ promotes covid-safer, mask-required events in the northeast US with additional accessibility info included in each listing (as it's sent to us or if we can find it).
if you have an event that requires masks in New England (or maybe further, who cares, fuck borders) you can send it in to be added!!
to borrow air purifiers/far-uvc, or learn more about making yr events safer from COVID-19, check out Fan-Club at http://fan-club.cc !!!
the NEXT fan-club skillshare will be on Friday April 17, from 3-5ish PM. this will be a slightly different format than previous skillshares; more of a casual space to drop in, ask questions, and chat about covid mitigations for events and gatherings.
there will be 2 focus-topics for the drop-in that I'll be prepared to sort of present, but feel free to come with any questions or ideas as there will be time to chat freely! (this is a REMOTE event)
sign up for this or to find out about future skillshares at http://fan-club.neocities.org/skillshares
not to let everyone know I'm wicked old but when/why did people stop doing hand signals during consensus process? like jazz hands/twinkles?
no war but the war on AI
📢 URGENT Fundraiser for NAICOB (North American Indian Center of Boston)
https://chuffed.org/project/standwithnaicob
“North American Indian Center of Boston (NAICOB) is currently facing a critical funding gap due to cuts by the federal government and other funders. This comes at a time when NAICOB's employment, social and cultural direct services are needed now more than ever by urban Native American and Alaska Native people in Massachusetts.
Will you join us and donate to NAICOB?
During its 57 years of existence, NAICOB has also provided leadership in many struggles for social, economic, environmental and racial justice. It’s important to ensure that Indigenous voices and perspectives continue to be heard loud and clear by elected officials and other communities and organizations in Boston and in Massachusetts.
NAICOB collaborates closely with United American Indians of New England on many issues and events in addition to our MA Indigenous Legislative Agenda work, including Indigenous Peoples Day, National Day of Mourning, and much more. The staff is amazing, committed, and consistently going above and beyond for local Indigenous peoples.
It’s also important to keep the NAICOB building, located in Jamaica Plain, open and fully staffed. The building is the heart of Boston's urban Native community, with a long history of providing meeting, artbuild and social space for Indigenous and allied community groups and causes.
Thank you so much for supporting Indigenous communities and issues in Massachusetts!”
Spread far and wide. #BoostsWelcome #Boston #CommunitySpace
