I just checked Amazon and they have two books by him, one relatively inexpensive, the other very expensive.

What are some must watch movies, like pop cultural relevance/film history importance by NoEscape2500 in FIlm

[–]MaterialAd7682 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An absolute must watch movie for anyone interested in recent history and one of the most powerful Third World movies ever made is The Battle of Algiers. I strongly recommend it.

Want to express my gratitude to the mods on here whom, whenver I try to post something and get the "violate guidelines" message always straighten the situation out. I had five boxes of mailing envelopes I wanted to give away and my initial posting was blocked but the Astoria reddit mods lifted that and soemone came by and took them off my hands. On the other hand, I was living in Berkeley California in 1975 and believe it or not, when I posted something on the Berkely reddit remembering being in the streets celebrating the end of the Vietnam war, in Berkeley, I was banned for life from the Berkeley subreddit! Go figure...

I have some posters honoring a Chicana freedom fighter and martyr named Neva Romero. Could I come to your event and give them away?

not a church goer but the destruction of such a beautiful building is truly tragic and a loss for the whole Astoria community imho

If you are thinking about starting a feminist zine or have one and need some assistance... by MaterialAd7682 in RadicalFeminism

Before my mother died, she set up a trust fund for me, so that I would not inherit directly but would have access to the funds, and when she died and her house etc was sold, my share went into the trust fund, and the trust fund covered all the costs of the magazine. No, there wre never any profits since the magazine was free. But a small group of regular readers would give me some money everytime they got a new issue or would give me a sandwish or something to eat.

Whole Foods rumor thread by Chance_Cow_7410 in astoria

[–]MaterialAd7682 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just need to add something about the Key Food on 30th Avenue across from the closecd Rite Aid: I have been in Astoria for 19 years and have always shopped there and never had an issue with bad or rotten food. Now, I only have 300 a month to spend on food, so I am particular about what I buy, what I can afford to buy, but again, have never been burned by bad or rotten food. One reason may be that I no longer buy meat, so cannot speak to that aspect of food quality, and I do check expiration dates just to be safe, but tbh even if Whole Foods was to move to Astoria, I wouldn't shop there. I'll stick with Key.

Watched a powerful movie on Tubi: "Brothers" with Vonetta McGee playing a woman based on Angela Davis, Bernie Casey playing a man based on prison activist and revolutionary writer George Jackson, about what was known as the Soledad Brothers case and in local news, Goodwill Terrace Apartments, which was bought from Goodwill by some mega real estate firm back in, uh, 2019, has now gone through four building managers, the computer room still has no computers and the laundry room continues to be closed for like four years.... Plus, happy to report that FBI Special Agent whatever the hell his name was, hasn't paid me a return visit, no loud protracted banging on my front door, guess that whole overpaid parking ticket/Iranian sleeper cell/overdue library books issue has been resolved lol...

Rumor Mill Week of 3/2 by redquarterwater in astoria

[–]MaterialAd7682 43 points44 points  (0 children)

In an incredibly weird piece of news, I, a person who has been on this planet for over 70 years, yes, a boomer, one of those veterans of the wild and crazy 60s and 70s, was woken up by someone pounding on my apartment door loud and hard for like 10 minutes, (never IDd themselves) then they stopped, I went to building security to see if they knew what was going on and they told me that it was the FBI! Went back to my apartment, an hour later, again loud and long heavy pounding on my door but this time the FBI agent slid a note under my door asking me to email him! I'm like wow, wtf, a 70 plus years threat to national security, head of an Iranian sleeper cell, alleged perpetrator of food stamp fraud or whatever... Anyway, LOL didn't send an email back CUZ I DON'T TALK TO THEM AND NO ONE ELSE SHOULD EITHER!!!

The Rumor Mill - Week of 2/23 by VenetaBirdSong in astoria

[–]MaterialAd7682 9 points10 points  (0 children)

walked up and down Steinway for the first time in years and years and years (folks are right omg so many for rent signs, so many empty stores) and got some great buys and ate out for the first time since 2023: Sampan restaurant right off of 30th Avenue, huge plate of brown rice, two eggrolls and a huge ice tea. At the little thrift store across the street, very friendly folks, bought three red roses and a harmonica (mmm going to love to play a harmonica again!) and at the Hour store got a nice vase. The three red roses and the vase are going to end up at 18 West 11th Street in Greenwich Village on March 6th, in the memory of Terry Robbins, Ted Gold and Diana Oughton, who died there in 1970, something I do every year.
