  • I’ve felt he same way as you. If you have an activist tenant or worker organization or a socialist party that’s actually work joining know that they want and need your time even if you think you have nothing to offer them. If you show up consistently when they need you it won’t matter if you have nothing interesting to say.

    Go to a DIY space (micro cinema, punk concert venue, comedy club) and you’ll find other poorly socialized people which really doesn’t make it any easier on you; two awkward people not knowing how to carry on a conversation is worse than one. But the point here is to realize you survive these scenarios (and aren’t alone) and build comfort and confidence in being uncomfortable.

    Cooking, wood working, gardening. These are hobbies so neglected by most people these days that at an advanced beginner level you’re already beyond the average person. Try various hobbies, give each one 2 or 3 genuine attempts, stick with the one that made you feel the most alive. I didn’t like cooking at first but grew to really appreciate the process and how much direct control you have over an act of transformation.

    Just some thoughts.



  • PlanetES - in the near future the moon and space near earth are colonized. Our protagonists jobs are to deal with dangerous space debris but it’s not a profit generator so they are neglected and underfunded despite everything in space relying on them. Also themes of colonialism and the moral hazards inherent in capital accumulation.




  • 2008 libertarian to 2012 socialist curious, started frequenting the Chapo sub in 2017 and came over here when it was banned.

    I’ve stayed because y'all are way funnier than anyone on Reddit and your hearts are always in the right place… seriously, there’s like a utopian level of kindness here. Oh and no ads!!!

    Plus someone here introduced me to Black Dresses so I consider you taste makers as well.
