But for real, that's fucking awesome and I know what you mean, I had a similar little renaissance in lockdown
I went into this pandemic and unemployment a jaded commie feeling trapped and helpless. Now I’m a commie who wants to help everyone I can enjoy this same feeling of liberation from being a slave to capital, and will do anything I can to help us get there together.
What was your lockdown story? They’re all so amazing to read because no matter the circumstances they all put us into the same situation and we mostly came to the same conclusions
Yes I’ll link you to my Etsy shop if you DM me it’s mostly games and stuff but it’s what I like
Well I radicalized in early february, then bernie lost and lockdown hit and I was spinning. Hadn't been involved in politics before but went ham for bernie. Luckily by the time he lost I had already had hopes for electoralism mostly beaten out of me by chapo so It wasn't too crushing, but I was just suddenly directionless and didn't know what to do, and then lockdown hit
and I decided that I'd learn to bake so if shit got real bad I could at least feed myself and others easily, and holy shit baking is great and I do it all the time now, and want to open a bakery.
But that's just the hobby. The really amazing part of all of this for me has been chapo, and getting to help build something new and amazing with you all, especially being able to play a part in the discord while this place was being built. I guess on the whole I've had a largely internal renaissance, grown a lot as a person and more than anything else have a driving purpose and desire to help my comrades in any way I can and do what I can to become stronger and more skilled to work towards a better world
everything sucks and is terrible, but for now I have shelter and food, and I'm the happiest I've ever been because I get to do shit that matters
Purpose and self fulfillment are so important and I’m glad you have both now and continue down this path. It was scary at first but it feels so much better now
I’m lucky to have dabbled a bit in monetizing what I enjoy doing before the pandemic so it really helped me hit the ground running when that became the only way I could feed myself, so yeah luck is a huge factor and I know not many people are as lucky as I am sadly, but that’s why I wrote what I wrote.
I just want everyone to remember there is a world outside of making a CEO rich through your hard labor
can I buy vinyl decals from you
thanks

It does. A lot relies on good luck right now which isn't great, but hey that's alright
