In my imagination I'm always a scarred, grizzled old lady. That's if I imagine myself at all, I don't super often.
I like knitting, math, and uplifting the proletariat.

Lemmy for sure, I love this place so much!
I do understand this. Never said I wasn't a marxist, I'm just not a tankie.
...you know, that definitely sounds pretty plausible! Massive wave of fascism happening internationally right now, and we're screaming about these people instead because the red scare was so incredibly effective? That is sadly very believable.
No.
Maybe I'm way off the mark here but... I think the reaction to tankies seems very overblown. No one you could describe as a "tankie" is currently in charge of any of the countries/companies/organizations that are busy destroying the world right now, so I don't super understand why everyone's talking about them like they're at all a priority? The authoritarians that tankies are obsessed with are all either long dead, or totally unaware of their existence.
Maybe some people on the left are just trying to look at future dangers here, like tankies are gonna be "Bolsheviks Part 2", somehow come into power, and then purge all the anarchists or something. But didn't Bolsheviks actually have a lot of power and influence prior to the revolution? Tankies don't seem to.
Remember how many days are in each month. I mean, I guess maybe I could if I tried harder, but I refuse.
EDIT: ok I'm seeing everyone's tips here, and thank you, but I gotta say... None of these heuristics seem any amount easier to remember. 😭
Definitely both, since a lot of people (myself included) don't have anything resembling a good local landtrust. Evety tiny bit of park/public land/etc near me is like 99% amur honeysuckle, garlic mustard, and lesser celendine. None of the people ostensibly responsible for taking care of said land seem to care... 😭
Isn't that the app I used for voice training to get feedback from people? If it is, then that lol
I've got one! Obscure textile crafts.
There are knitting/crochet communities of course, but all the super niche ones like ply-split braiding or smocking are too rare to warrant a whole community to themselves. On reddit there was a defunct sub called bistitchual, both for all obscure fibercrafts and for combinations of unrelated fibercrafts in one work. I wish we had it here.
Just tried re-uploading mine and ran into the same issue.
A confederation of autonomous zones run horizontally under anarchist principles, a la Rojava, the Makhnovshchina, Catalonia, etc etc. Presumably for many types of collapse, there'd be a gradual period where the government just cuts off services to increasingly populated areas and abandons them. Autonomous zones like these could spring up to fill the void, and eventually be better than what they're replacing.
I know it's not this, I know... but is it this?
Why are people afraid of house centipedes? They already ARE cute! It'd be one thing if they were at least somewhat willing to bite you, like some spiders, but they won't. They've got the best eyesight of any centipede, which inadvertently gives them really cute little eyes too.
Surrender the entire property to creative commons.
Yessss, that's exactly how I felt! I only even forced myself to finish it so I'd feel qualified to write a terrible review lol
This is a show and not a movie, but definitely The Magicians. The show is pretty incredible, and more or less abandons everything wrong with the original. The books mostly spend way too many pages following all the MC's petty grievances, and he's like a massive incel.
All the people saying exercise... I swear that has to vary across people. I went to the gym thrice a week for two years and hated every gd second of it.
An old PS1 fighting game called Unholy War. It had a lot of really unique mechanics I haven't seen since.
