Also go a little slower?? Like

The worst that could happen is that they fall in? Bro each jump has gotta be a a year's worth of stress on the ankles and knees, and sideways

We're all black dresses fans here

As a bit of a fashion wonk I'd say shien is def the fastest, dirtiest, cheapest, and lowest quality stuff but esp if you really can't find the piece in your size/ color anywhere else and it won't be worn out too heavily then its def an option. Don't feel too bad cause it's on par with other fast fashion but obv don't start ordering 10 pieces a week from them ya know.

My tip would be to reverse image search the clothes you like on Google and if you don't get any hits make a good search description of the peice and go to depop, grailed, then your local thrift store! More time consuming but vintage is usually higher quality, same price, and keeps the planet one shirt healthier.

build your own comrade, it's pretty fun and knowing your board better can help in the future. Like others said if you go to a local shop and describe your needs and experience they'll hook you up with a kit of all the right pieces and will practically put it together for ya if you need. (or will let you borrow tools to use alongside YouTube vids)

solidarity and love comrade, I doubt I can solve your feelings but as some words of encouragement I think you might come to find out you have more in common with ur coworkers than you thought. I understand what it feels like to feel that posting into a void is somehow getting to ppl who reflect and appreciate your framework of thinking of things, esp in a Marxist context. But like try to focus back in onto the little fleeting moments that make life different than the internet, bullshit about annoying customers with the soccer mom in the office. At times when you're able to escape the ever consuming activities do bold things on your own, print posters to post around and spread your message so that you can walk by and say I did that. Friends gravitate towards people with purpose :)

thank you! Trying this out

another vote for phone aspect ratio since many ppl who want to repost would rather do it on their temporary story rather than part of their main content so it can add to virality! Side note... I really want an isolated audio of Anthony fantano saying "Capitalism, it's not good" with an explosion. I can prob get him to post it too if the meme hits right, someone I know is on his tik tok fyp

my understanding is that dialectics is the constant interaction of material conditions and the system that "choices" create. People often choose the path of least resistance that material conditions have lead to. On an individual level people can contradict the system but ultimately cannot change the path of least resistance and the actions of others without changing material conditions.

Find local mutual aid groups on Instagram, you can donate directly to them or typically they repost the venmos of unhoused and marginalized individuals. This is the most direct form of aid you can do with your dollars aside from going out and distributing supplies yourself.

Live off the interest and devote your 40 hr work week to do mutual aid and community building. Hand out supplies and food daily to get to know your unhoused neighbors and distribute leftist pamphlets that encourage organizing.

Just go on Instagram and look up (your city) mutual aid. A great way to find your own skills that you can contribute and work it into a larger structure. Offer to make canva posts to fundraise for unhoused ppl other comrades reach out to. If you have a car you can move unhoused ppls stuff when they get evicted or deliver supplies.

If there's a class that holds too much power, nerf it

Have fun and express your style in a way that makes you feel comfortable. I love thrifting too and if you can, accessorize a little. In a work environment it gives people a talking point and makes ya stand out even if your fit is basic. A cool bag, bright coat, silver jewelry, hat with vintage local sports team. Take the comments well! Oh yeah I picked it up recently, do you like thrifting too?

That's OK! I don't think anyone is feeling burdened or that they're "wasting" advice, I'd say most people that try in help in that way love sharing their experiences with overcoming obstacles! -that is the thing though when ppl give advice online it's probably their own POV and if they don't know your situation they're very likely to gloss over a thing or two that may be important to you. Just keep seeking input and slowly the right combination of advice will spark a self realization. You're worthy in this fd up world and change rarely happens suddenly.

Might be pricy but the best leftist wall art is buying from local bipoc, just search up your town then art on Instagram.

Northwest U. S. is great and I wouldn't choose anywhere else, but yeah we're still fucked as soon as supply chains collapse and we need to rely on local farming (not happening) and the govt is still run by liberal fascists with no concern for a struggling population.

Do it but use your privileged position to build community structures (unionize lol) and give mutual aid a large spot in your budget. Past the money you need to continue living, just funnel Hella into local anarchist mutual aid groups that do resource distribution to unhoused folks, trust me they really need to funding and are largely run by gutter punks with lots of time and no money.
