We almost “adopted” a neighborhood cat we named Tabby because she was a calico(or the other way around, I forget now) becuse she showed up and i ded her dome tuna and she never left. We were gonna pick her up if she wasn’t claimed when we moved but another neighbor was also feeding her and had the same idea.

We have 2 now though. Once is a shelter adoption and the other was from a litter through some people we know. The shelter one is my bestie but the litter one is a little shit. He chews all our stuff but also hangs out with me when I’m working on code so he’s not so bad. Just had to learn how to cat-proof a bunch of stuff. He still finds Legos or wires though.

I’m listening to their whole discog from newest to oldest today. That’s my mini goal lol.

I’ve been considering getting something for the Black Panthers but want to wait until I focus my reading on that subject. Palenstinian flag might be fun since it will piss off both dems and reps. You know what, maybe some purchase therapy might be in order today.

First, it looks like I’m gonna be listening to SoaD today lol. Second, I’ve actually been wanting to get a few custom pins made and have a friend that does graphic design. I have an idea for one with like a big rainbow and clouds but the clouds are big bubbly text that says “Stay woke, comrade.” The idea is sort of a on-the-nose way of making fun of the chuds that decry “woke culture” and such.

I have a few antifa pins that didn’t make it on the hat and I think the Antifascist Action one is a bit more known so maybe too obvious? I think my friend ended up nabbing the scared cat pin one from me.

I should clarify I didn’t mean the Black Flag band logo, but just the black flag anarchist one. I do have a Misfits pin that an old friend gave me and I was gonna look to get an Anti-flag pin but the SA allegations happened so idk now lol.

Sweet thanks. I might have to order this in the near future lol.

I need to look into it. The book might even be a reprint. It’s old and in poor condition but the last date states 1935 so I am going off of that. I can look into getting it rebound. I’m afraid to really even touch it because the spine creaks when I open it like it’s begging to fall apart.

You got a link to the QR code one? I kind of love that idea.

I have a black flag, an AnCom(like my banner), and Anarcha Feminism(purple and black) one. Then I have a trans rights one, a smash the patriarchy one, and one that says All Cats Are Beautiful(ACAB). I also have Black Fist and Pride Flag/Inclusive one. I stay away from Hammer and Sickle just because it’s so known. The earnings sound cute though lol. A lot of these can be marked up as like just being progressive I guess.

I want a DSA rose eventually.

Overall, it’s sort of all over the place but each sort of represents the stages I have gone through along my leftist journey.

I was at a local bookstore/clothing consignment/vinyl shop with a friend because he collects vinyl. I was looking through the books and spotted “A People’s History of the United States” by Zinn and ended up picking it up for another friend. I started talking to the owner as I was ringing up about the few leftist texts that he had and how it’s kind of cool to see that sort of thing in the TX panhandle since there aren’t really many leftists here and he simply replied “yeah, we’re out there.”

I now call that place the “Commie Record Store” lol.

Last time I was there he had a 4th print edition of State and Revolution from 1935, that is now in my possession. The book is super old and the spine is brittle and I don’t know what to do with it, but I feel like it’s somehow special now.

He now acts as my source for physical books. I mostly read digital but I would like a small collection of “the classics” so to speak.

And similar to comrade Queerecommie, I have a hat with several buttons that anyone here would recognize but the average lib won’t. I also use the big nerdy Marx words like dialectics, material conditions, praxis, bourgeois, etc.

Gentle remind that the US was perfectly content with Nazi Germany for most of the war.

That’s a long ass read. Gonna send it to my computer and check it out in the am. Thanks!

My wife is a Christian socialist reformist but she’s also pretty great.

Where is the blue curtain thing from? I’ve seen it mention ned a few times now.

Can we just let all the fashies in here so we can all just get along and have tea and scones together puh-leaaaaaaaase???

It is Texas so yeah.

I’m glad western leaders never did horrible shit.

Haha let’s go!

If it isn’t called The Giant Spoon I want no part in it.

So this will be us Millennials’ 4th or 5th once in a lifetime crisis? I’ve simply lost count.
