Seattle-pol, historic landmarks, something you can do about it
The historic Showbox music hall (which has just recently turned 79) is scheduled for demolition for some shitty gentrifying apartment blocks.
There's a petition linked in the toot below, I'm not sure if there's anything else you can do about it, I'm guessing you should keep your eyes peeled.

small ask re:mindfulness
Please don’t just barrel into another person and dump your pain on them. Your pain is valid and real, but if you do that you’re only handing that off to someone who’s not prepared for it. That’s only going to continue the cycle.
small ask re:mindfulness
Hey, I know that lots of folks are hurting right now. There’s a ton of pain going around in the orthocosm and elsewhere. When you go to someone else to talk about that pain, try to ask the following questions:
1) Have they eaten/showered/got a good night’s sleep?
2) Are they in a place to listen to you?
3) Do they have the time / energy to listen right now?
uspol / Gaslighting
Be extremely cautious when interacting with right wing agent provocateurs. They have adopted a strategy of gaslighting and subversion of meaningful discussion
You may not be engaging in dialogue or “debate” so much as playing into their performance
I don’t yet know of an effective strategy to combat this besides early detection. But if you’re in a heated argument, that can be difficult

A classic story that bears reposting:
"We're having a problem sending email out of the department."
"What's the problem?" I asked.
"We can't send mail more than 500 miles," the chairman explained.
I choked on my latte. "Come again?"
"We can't send mail farther than 500 miles from here," he repeated. "A little bit more, actually. Call it 520 miles. But no farther."

This is ME. ME! This is /so powerfully me/ :D :D :D
I feel so... /seen/. I feel something deep in my watery heart from this. Thank you, @Bonesnail@mastodon.art :) I can hardly wait to have this hanging on my wall!
