trying to get the local city council to make some movement with a toothless ceasefire resolution from february is weirdly crazy hard
i don’t know how inner government works and it’s confusing and it feels silly that even a small town is so bogged down in bureaucracy
idk some people advise working within the government system to change it and some advise tearing it apart to build on top and some people want to do a little bit of both and i guess i think we should use everything at our disposal

I live in LA. It’s been tough to see innocent people hurt here and around the globe. I feel entirely powerless reading the news. I feel entirely powerless about climate change. My future is bleak to say the least.
I wanted to do something, but nothing felt big enough.
So I tried to ignore it. I buried my head in the sand and hoped that somehow someone would save the world. But it still ate away in the back of my mind.
I had to do something to feel better.
I went to protests. I started going to city council meetings and giving my opinion. I joined a few local advocacy organizations. I volunteered to feed the homeless.
I feel a bit better.

i do organizing work on the college campus i'm on, which is currently facing budget cuts, and a large question in the leftist activist spaces is whether we start organizing with pro-israel or groups that don't necessarily align with our values, but in this specific instance, they do. it's sort of a hard thing to square because for a while we were in conflict with these groups but i was recently told by someone i'm organizing with "just as much as you have a moral prerogative to do what's right, you have to have the moral perogative to win because that's how change happens" idk it really changed my perspective and has been a good motivator for the past couple weeks

this was mundane documentation but now I’m overcome with guilt

last night i dreamed my 70 year old coworker came back from texas and she looked completely different but i think we all collectively assumed she got extreme plastic surgery and didnt say anything until we realized it for sure wasn’t her
spooky but nothing like my decapit^ted heads on the beach dream

i once listened to a podcast about streakers at national sporting events and learned that they have specially made clothes that they can rip off their bodies super quick. they dont usually get the clothes back, which is sad
