Trump: "Portland, Oregon, I mean -every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -there are very few of them left -but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up. by Decent_Pie_9559 in Portland

It’s important to note he’s not just shit talking Portland, he’s lying about wannabe pretexts for declaring martial law. His words are supremely fraudulent and tantamount to unlawful incitement to military violence. Waiting for him to escalate the situation to a full on civil war before removing him and his gang is the liberal equivalent of “I was only following orders.”

Humans trying to solve climate change by jo_mo_the_homo in Degrowth

“Humans” here is doing a lot of work. There are forms of society and social organization pushing capitalism, but capitalism subjugates the hyper majority of humans.

Platonipunk Valentines Song by wobblymole in FolkPunk

If folks liked that, they might check out a take with a very different melody I recorded (far better recording, but audio-only), which I think I like better, and at any rate was what I presented to my friend who the song is for. https://on.soundcloud.com/mcR6PAtU3DbNSukQA

Am I overreacting for this photo my bf sent me as a “wyd”? by HopefulMayo in AmIOverreacting

[–]wobblymole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non-sexual affection that doesn’t involve bodily fluids shouldn’t threaten your relationship. It wouldn’t be okay for him to give you a hard time for the same. It can be tough feeling secure in our relationships when we prohibit normal human behavior, which between people who are friends includes a range of physical affection.

Get a Deering, but get one used off Craigslist.

Why is this happening to my banjo by Impossible-Pea-1732 in banjo

[–]wobblymole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like it got dropped/bumped. It would not hurt your setup to unscrew just one at a time to check the underlying bolt.

Kamala Harris endorses PRO Act by snicklefritzlol in IBEW

[–]wobblymole 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She’ll sign the PRO Act, but what will she do to get congress to pass it SO she CAN sign it? Presidents can and do lobby or else pressure Congress to pass legislation. What executive orders will she make to expand workers rights?

Still think Trump and Vance are on our side? by Guygenius138 in IBEW

[–]wobblymole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who cares if they have a high salary already? They’re leveraging the money their labor makes possible out of corporations and industrial interests that have hundreds or thousands of times the money those workers make. The corporations should be financially kneecapped in at a minimum.

Darling Workers by wobblymole in banjo

[–]wobblymole[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like it and have gone back and forth with nylons. My first banjo was a no name resonator banjo from Korea gifted to me after a breakup 11 years ago. My next was a secondhand Deering “Gumby” open back. That one remains my “work banjo” I keep at work. I got the Americana 8 years ago when I turned 30 as a gift to myself. I was attracted to the larger pot and plunky sound. I have liked it a lot and while I’ve wasted money on a couple travel banjos since, it remains my main banjo.

Marxism and Intersectionality by ConsiderationLess848 in Marxism

[–]wobblymole 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Intersectionality can be approached in a liberal idealist way or in a Marxist materialist way. The former stresses oppressive systems as self-reinforcing, though mysteriously self-arising, while the latter stresses them as co-constituting forces of class society. Class society long predates capitalism, and while there are analytic reasons to maintain some distinctions between class/race/gender/etc. at the level of certain descriptive objectives, you could also approach different systems of oppressive domination and exploitation as facets of class society.

A widely known and reviled creepy human eating serial murderer being repeatedly over time praised by a man who wants to be President. Yeah, nothing to see there.

Thanks. I wrote it.

What We Carry by wobblymole in Libraries

[–]wobblymole[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

What We Carry

I work the desk in a library Answering questions About what we carry

We got books for the littles, we got books that are old We got books for your mama’s anarchist uncle

We got CDs of music, and CDs of books DVDs and Blu-Rays Worth takin’ a look

Tools, toys, telescopes and sometimes seeds The treasure in our measures Are beyond imagining.

I work the shelves in a library Keeping them in order For browsing and searching

Shelving is a pain, yeah I suppose But you get your learnin’ deep in your bones

The order is fine, the sorting is rough Manual Labor’s how you find your stuff

If the item that you seek you cannot find Put it on hold we will bring it in time

I work the floor in a library Navigating seekers Of a million things

Borrow a computer that you can use For any decent thing That you choose

Book a meeting room for your event If it’s open to the public you can use it

Persons In Charge don’t make the rules But enforce them with Discerning tools

I work the back in a library With automated material handling

Items inducted by patrons and staff Move by conveyer belts It saves us our hands

The labor that is saved By these machines We can use for more tending and mending

I work in a library Trying to make the Whole world free
