Ask for help, even if it's with something small, when you need it.
It is *a bit* fun to see everyone get on the train and make a bee line for the area that looks empty, only to witness, horrified, The Foot Man, and then back away, as though from a crime scene.

Before you hit that reply button, ask yourself:
Is it kind?
Is it constructive?
Am I prepared to hear it read aloud in a court of the law?
Ok. So, this is Masto in a nutshell.
Technical competence required, diligence required, if you don't, then you're just another example of white privilege and we don't want to talk to you, go away.
Honestly. I didn't get my Captain Midnight decoder ring.
Maybe on your well-connected instance this is obvious, and too bad for the people on less well-connected instances. They deserve what they get for... lack of diligence.
I can see the forces at play here, driving ppl apart.
Announcement: unlike the rest of you mindless peasants, I do not enjoy current popular thing. In fact, I would go so far as to say that popular thing sucks and is derivative of obscure thing. This proves I have superior taste, a richer inner life, and at least three undeclared intellectual gifts.
@Daojoan I know this because my third grade teacher said I was gifted.
I picked up a pizza from my favorite pizza place and I was taking the elevator up to my apartment when another person got on and they were holding a very large IKEA box with some sort of flat pack furniture in it and, for some reason, I decided to say "that's a big pizza!" and he just flatly said "It's not a pizza. It's a coffee table."
So I guess we're not going to be neighbor besties.

All eyes on Delaney Hall in Newark, NJ!
Hundreds inside an ICE concentration camp are on a work and hunger strike at Delaney Hall in New Jersey and other hunger strikes have been announced in New Mexico and Southern California. In Tacoma, WA, over 100 detainees announced the formation of the 'Union of People Kidnapped by ICE.'
Clashes, protests, and arrests continue as people continue to form blockades at the facility.

"Use of force by guards in trial of pro-Palestine activists in Germany under scrutiny
Defence lawyers reiterate demands for the recusal of the judge, who they say has 'no interest' in hearing the defendants

The use of force during the trial of pro-Palestine activists in Germany has come under scrutiny after defendants were forcibly carried into the court in handcuffs and people attending have been subjected to “violent body searches”.
Daniel Tatlow-Devally, Zo Hailu, Crow Tricks, Vi Kovarbasic and Leandra Rollo, who are from Germany, Spain, Ireland and the UK, were arrested on 8 September following an alleged break-in to the premises of Israeli arms firm Elbit Systems in the southwestern German city of Ulm.
Known as the “Ulm Five”, the group is accused of damaging the building's glass facade and smashing office equipment, including computers, screens and telephones.
In addition to charges of trespassing and damage to property, the five are accused of “membership of a criminal organisation”, namely Palestine Action Germany, under Section 129 of the German penal code."

Picture the scene...
You're playing soccer and just after kickoff you notice something odd. Your teammate next to you is suddenly wearing the opposing teams colours!
You look around you, and several other teammates have also changed shirts to the other team. Behind you, your goalie has switched sides. It seems like half your team are playing for the enemy now.
It seems hopeless, but you play on anyway, because what else can you do?
I wish I was actually talking about soccer.

Naw - being in charge sucks if you care about other people. I spent a lot of time in the working world being "in charge" of stuff and man... not even. Just say no.
