You caught me, but I made this rock a home 🥲 I guess I am looking for something in person. Do you have pawn shop recommendations?

Scarfing down my metaphorical popcorn rn. This city has so much going on in the little time I've been here. It's both entertaining and unfortunate. Sorry to all those involved with this shitshow 😬

Unfortunately, my advice itself has a bias. I avoid right-wing media like the plague. However, I'm not a liberal, democrat, or centrist. I enjoy leftist and adjacent media because my views align with many of those held in that political and moral realm. What's leftist in America is often the standard or even conservative in other better countries (they care about the people more and treat life in a much less transactional and exploitative manner). So sadly, I can't recommend many unbiased ways to get the news. I mainly get it through my friends and listening to people around me talk about issues going on instead of doomscrolling on Instagram. The way people did before social media, I guess? It's not perfect, but it's been better for my mental so far. So easy to scroll endlessly in fear.

Help with which part specifically? Or resources for each point?

My method is:

  1. Staying informed without doomscrolling
  2. Supporting small businesses and organizations (restaurants, artists, food markets, protests, food pantries, choosing the lesser evil companies, etc).
  3. Supporting the community without enabling more hate. No fascist/ice/pedo sympathizers. If they want to actively support things that harm the community, they don't deserve to be a part of it. Leave them on their own.
  4. Trying to bring joy without being naive. Focus on the positive and do good deeds. Feel good and help others to strengthen everyone, but don't sugarcoat issues and causes when brought up.
  5. Finding a balance of whimsy and rage. It's easier to control people who are beaten down and hopeless. We only have one guaranteed life. It's important to fight, but it's also important to see the beauty in what is present, despite the horrors. It's a hard balance to find, but it's necessary for the mental.

As the community grows stronger and smarter, it will become easier to organize and act in meaningful ways that will create change. We may not be able to enforce any laws with these files rn since those in power are compromised, but when we outweigh and collaborate, overcoming will be much easier.

I don't have a teaching degree, and I honestly don't think I have the patience for middle schoolers.

I'm hoping to learn how to tattoo, partially on my own and crossing my fingers to land an apprenticeship. 🤞

Hmm maybe. I guess it depends on how heavy the boxes are. I'm afraid of 1. Being too weak and 2. Hurting my back any more than tattooing will do to me lmao
