    We had a party meeting regarding Cuba and we will send a solidarity team soon so we now have to get as many supplies as we can. Medical supplies, gardening supplies and seeds, bike supplies, whatever you can think of.

    We have had close relationships with the Cuban government for decades now and it’s good to see that we can keep up the solidarity between us. They often help out with our party’s free healthcare clinics throughout the country and they also secretly supply our yearly festival with Cuban rum lmao.

      Thank you for helping our Cuban comrades!

      If possible, check with your org if they can bring solar generators and panels as well! That is urgently needed.

    The army has been deployed in the Jewish district in my city to protect them. Two and a half year of genocide has sparked zero incidents and yet tax payer money will be spend this way. I have to walk past a hundred dudes equiped with machine guns when I go to work now.

          I have never gotten a negative response honestly. That’s the thing, the whole Palestina movement and the Jewish people here have never had a clash because it was never about targeting Jewish people.

    I think it’s starting to set in for me that the war may go on for months or more. The duplicitous nature of both the current US admin and the zionist entity means it’s essentially impossible to have peace talks. Iran’s battle is going to be (with the assistance of other resistance forces in the region) to evict colonialism and imperialism from the region to the extent that peace is even possible and safety is remotely achievable. Without that, it’s just Trump tweeting about talks while greenlighting another attack on civilian infrastructure, or the zionist entity grandstanding about ceasefires and then violating said ceasefires endlessly. Things are at a point where there is nothing really to talk about. The colonial/western presence in the region cannot be trusted for even a week at a time to not work on something violent.

    Two and a half year of genocide and nothing happens in our Jewish district, but the day military people get stationed there, all of a sudden a car gets set on fire. What a coincidence!

    Media says an ‘antisemitic terrorist group’ claimed the attack but they cannot even be arsed to say who it is supposed to be.

    Anyone else feel like an anomaly? Like they’re not supposed to be here, or that something went wrong and you’re a byproduct.

    I used to like being called wierd, but…there’s a certain feel to it now. Like I’m almost alien. Maybe it’s just that I haven’t found “my people” (even in my organization that I’m in) but…idk.

      I’m not sure if I relate in those words. I don’t view myself as a mistake or something. But I have for various reasons spent pretty much my whole life feeling like an outsider in one way or another. I do wonder sometimes though, if I would still feel that way if I were living in a communal society that is more oriented around getting people’s needs met. It’s maybe not such a bad thing that I don’t feel like I belong in the horrible culture that is the US.

      Feeling like/being described as/telling people they are an alien is a common theme with autistic people. My cousin and I were both 99% we were aliens between age 8-12. Just saying.

    Tried to take a walk in the park to clear my mind but the park was so busy with people, cyclists and joggers that I couldn’t relax. All the good benches away from the paths were taken as well. I came back home even more overstimulated. I stayed in a small village recently where you could just walk in the forest without seeing anybody which was great. I could just walk without the fear of judgement or invasions of personal space. I really need that. Especially since I’m grieving and don’t like seeing people just living life normally, while I’m broken inside.

    An unripe habanero in my grow house had a bit of damage so I picked it before it went to waste. I nearly ruined the curry i made for dinner. Its 3.5 hours since I cut it up. Ive washed my hand with soap 3 times. I picked my nose 5 minutes ago and my nostril is burning.

          i had a like hundred or so word comment about a hypothetical situation where many random prominent socialist revolutionaries/thinkers were in a party (well, not like, an international party, i mean like… Balloons and cone hat yippee) and had to decide on a flavor of cake and whether or not rosa luxemburg and stalin would like chocolate cherry habanero cake. tier list of socialist revolutionaries is deeply deeply usless EXCEPT to determine hypothetical sankara’s enjoyment of this hypothetical chocolate cherry habanero cake

    Had a great first week at my job. The pay is decent but what I really love is the social environment.

      Decent pay is way more common than a decent social environment, tragically.

      The last year at my first job was amazing because of how many cool people there were to hang out with. I was sad it was over. I’ve never had that experience since.

        That is true. I really hope you can have that kind of experience again. 🫂 We don’t really find these types of workplaces these days. I know if I found a job with a very toxic work environment I would be out of there quickly. I’d probably fall into autistic burnout afterwards.
