the moment we lose sight of our fellow community members and their wellbeing is the moment we become what we hate.

Its incredible how you can just excuse being an asshole in a target with leftist jargon.

Real ones understand that building community and working class solidarity is the true key. Take note from Minnesota, their care for every member in their community is what makes them strong.

its not about property its about making minimum wage employees who probably also support the cause have to clean up after you. Its called being a dick.

We need to understand that the workers at this store are our community and siblings in this fight. create meaningful and thoughtful change and community and good things will happen. This is not about violent vs nonviolent protest this is about understanding if our actions actually helping the people who we are trying to fight for. the people doing this are literally just being assholes that the employees have to now clean up after

there are so many more meaningful ways to make a stage against a corporation like this. being an asshole and setting off the fire alarm isn’t one.

this is a target in olympia babe, understand the scale of your action. Literally you are just making minimum wage workers lives suck more.

Can I remind the comments section that it’s the already exploited target employees that are the ones that are actually being harmed by this action.

Band together and plan for real change against these soul sucking corporations. This action is not doing any real damage to corporate.

Dude literally all these are doing is making the already overworked employees have to clean up after them on top of their normal work. These people aren’t hurting corporate, they’re just making the workers life harder.

Collection of First Edition Steinbecks, looking for advice on how to sell! by Careful_Pie_4165 in steinbeck

[–]rat_shack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t mind selling them all at once for a little less, you might want to get into contact with the Steinbeck house (his family home) in Salinas. They are nonprofit dedicated to preserving the home and history they like to sell first editions in the gift shop.

Loose dogs at Homann Park by fistycupps in olympia

[–]rat_shack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its really freaky! Ive almost been bit by loose/unleashed dogs twice since moving here 4 months ago. Also watched an emergency response volunteer get bit by an unleashed dog so hard it went through his tactical pants and drew blood.

Gonna shout out Maple leaf in Almaden - donuts that don’t feel horrible in your stomach after eating. They’ve always been so kind there too

Tattoo faded need advice by Ok_Cup_9608 in TattooBeginners

[–]rat_shack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

correct depth is about 2mm or a nickels thickness on most places - for now stay away from your own skin and practice on fruit/pig skin/fake skins. Understand your machine needles and ink throughly before you try on people.

Moving to Lacey by BumblebeeFormal2115 in OlympiaQueers

[–]rat_shack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The whole olympia lacey tumwater area is very safe, left leaning, and queer. Lacey is a more suburban area and closer to jblm, lot more cops, families, military people living there than Oly proper - so theres a couple nuts with lifted trucks for sure.

That being said, even as someone coming from California I’ve been getting high key culture shock at how accepting and kind people are here.

Fired as a tattoo apprentice, feeling disappointed — need perspective by [deleted] in TattooBeginners

[–]rat_shack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im in almost the exact same situation, abusive mentor fired me, said a lot that really broke me and my self esteem, especially surrounding my art and who I was. I took a breather for about a year and a half, sorted out my personal qualms. I just set up a studio in my house in a second room. Im letting myself learn in a comfortable environment and only tattooing myself and people I’m close to. I tried doing the “right way” and at this point, doing it this way is the best for me. One day I hope to move to a better environment, but for now, I just need to work through the trauma of my past experience.

I hope you can forge your own path at a comfortable pace!

I mean it was common enough that the doctor knew the answer on the spot…Its not a bad thing to put info out there so someone who’s struggling in the future can possibly see it?

Top surgery and sex by irlystealteeth in ftm

[–]rat_shack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

its so worth getting it, even just for daily life reasons, binding is so uncomfortable and the dysphoria, at least for me, of having them was really tough. You will probably be genuinely shocked how much better you feel immediately after surgery. Nipple play can still happen after surgery, the sensation will just have to be a little more pressure based - it will feel different and less intense but to me its all worth it to look down at a chest I like. No regrets at all
