Quixotic

wtf can i do

making a list of things i'm doing because i'm tired of feeling like i'm doing nothing:

  1. cutting back on consumerism. it's local businesses for groceries. it's no amazon, walmart, or target. it's thrifted clothes only. it's FB marketplace only. it's not buying shit i don't actually need.

  2. supporting my neighbors. dropping off food at the community fridge, donating to the food pantry, asking every damn organization i can if they need anything.

  3. making art. a piece of paper hates to see me coming. i've been making zines and dropping them off. going to start making mini-posters to raise awareness and drop those off too.

  4. emailing and calling my reps. it's easier than i thought! i just talk about what i'm concerned about and ask questions on what they're doing.

  5. educating myself. because there's something new everyday. but also, we didn't start the fire, i'm leaning on older political theory and black and queer political thought.

  6. hoping. not giving into doomerism. believing there's a better outcome to all of this and acting like it.

  7. compiling resources and things i need to be doing here.
