Canā€™t you tell him to stfu? Whatā€™s the protocol?

I mean, I do phone and text stuff and Iā€™m trying to imagine the absurdity of some joker butting in.

Thatā€™s pretty awesome, thanks for the link. Iā€™ll check them out.

My sister is a foster mom and recently adopted a girl who has been with our family for 1.5 years, placed with my sister when she was 4 months old. The entire foster system is pretty sad, and any help those kids can get is great. My sister also founded a nonprofit last year whose goal is to reunite siblings who have been separated in the foster system or through adoption. Their main event is a weeklong summer camp where the kids get to be with their siblings and make those sibling bonds/memories that are so vital. If you know anybody who may be interested in volunteering with her camp or helping to raise funds, they are always looking for that. I think they particularly need male cabin counselors this summer.

I forwarded your message to her and she replied ā€œThank you! They already support us :)ā€

Been reaching out to other freelancers and asking if I can use them for any surplus work. As long as I have a little work to spare to people far less fortunate, I gotta do what I can. I wouldnā€™t be where I am if someone hadnā€™t done the same for me more than once.

Are you comfortable saying what sort of work you do?

Iā€™m a writer and media consultant primarily for fiction narratives but occasionally also for nonfiction stuff if itā€™s biographical. I will PM you a link.

Yup, I got a text from the campaign yesterday asking me to call my Senator to show support for relief efforts.

Our country really doesnā€™t deserve President Bernie Sanders unfortunately.

Iā€™m im bed all day watching porn intermittently which is, finally, doing something. Thank you coronavirus.

Did I find the right thread? Iā€™ve been trying to step up efforts to call my representatives and anyone I can think of since I have nothing to do at home during the day. Iā€™m not working and donā€™t need to for some time, and can dedicate my ā€œwork dayā€ to activism.

So far I called my representative to ask her to support the Pressley/Omar bill. Left a message.

I called the Erie DA (716-858-2400) to ask them to charge the officer that pushed that older man down as well as everyone who stepped over him. They said they were getting a ton of calls and put me on a list.

Probably will call some other DAs as well

I need to call my Senators but Iā€™m still figuring out what exact bill / issue Iā€™m going to focus on with that call

If thereā€™s anything else I could be doing with my time here, feel free to drop some suggestions.

Iā€™d also like to attempt to organize a protest around the ICE facility in Vegas, itā€™d be my first time doing any such thing but I have nothing but time and resource.

A few weeks back and motivated by current events, I seized on an opportunity to introduce myself to neighbors that hadnā€™t long occupied the low-income-housing house next door.

Since introduction, Iā€™ve mowed their lawn (which was becoming massively overgrown, as they have no lawn-service or mower of their own.) Bought them dinner one night and referred them to food pantries (they have 4 kids I think) Iā€™ve lent them my mower, gas can and handsaw for some felled branches, and I cleaned up some trash they left at the side of their property, as our garbage service only collects 2 bags weekly and they are a large clan, that included dirty diapers and whatever else.

I shit you not, they also tried to involve me in a domestic dispute for some reason, both heads of household coming over, knocking on my door, and the 1st thing out of the womanā€™s mouth was her asking me to call the cops on the guy. I refused to call the cops, and tried my best to positively conflict-resolve and deescalate, days later telling the woman Iā€™m not a marriage counselor lmao

Maybe you can help replace the cops after we defund them. Seriously, good job though.

thx, brother. kind words :heart:

Was just at the hardware store, and in an aisle with an attractive woman(black)

We both had masks on, and I was conscious of our distance. She came toward my end of the aisle, and I said, ā€œWe gotta maintain social distancing,ā€ then added, ā€œNot that I mind being close to you.ā€ errr

It was straight PUA Gangstar and a tiny bridge of the racial divide os
