The series is goated I would watch it, in any case it's fun background noise. It's appealingly cheesy.

On a Sunbeam by Tillie Walden. It is a very fantastic graphic novel / webcomic about found family and queerness, I read it as a teenager and it has heavily affected me.

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers. Also a sci-fi found family story with queer themes but in the form of a novel. The worldbuilding and stories told in the Wayfarer's series has moved me to tears multiple times <3

If you're being polled for jury try saying these things:

  • Man I fucking hate Italians...
  • Healthcare? Yeah I haven't had any problems!
  • Dude I love McDonald's workers and people that work with cops!
  • If I saw a health insurance CEO bleeding out I would tear up my own shirt to plug the wounds... They're my heroes.

And then you hang the jury!

I was just thinking about this earlier today :(

I actually liked working my factory jobs but unfortunately in the US they don't let you sit even if you could fulfill your role on the line in a chair. If this changed then my ideal career would be factory work.

I also recently got into Buddhism and I would say a good place to start is What The Buddha Taught by Walpola Rahula, once you've finished that you can check out The Noble Eightfold Path: Way to the End of Suffering by Bhikku Bodhi as well! Both of these books will give you a very good foundation.

I would also advise against fixating on choosing a school or sect, it can lead to decision paralysis and you may just get fixated with a school that isn't even practiced anywhere near you. Absolutely look into Sanghas near you and base your choices around that! I hope you enjoy your time with Buddhism!

Temu and AliExpress are both fine, avoid Wish and be mindful of scams. Also watch your shipping costs, they can easily eat your wallet. You can filter items by whether or not it ships from US and for AliExpress they have what they call "Choice" items that you can get free shipping on if you meet a dollar amount.

Never in my life, have I seen a comment this concise.

I like Jerboa because it's very straightforward and has no frills.

I've been having fun with Zen Browser but I'm not too sure how privacy friendly it is, there isn't a lot of discussion about it right now and I'm not very good at researching these things on my own.

 

Hey comrades, I'm thinking about getting a degree. About 7-8 months ago I made a post asking about the process of obtaining citizenship in China and I was met with the expected response that I should continue my education if I wished to stay there long-term. Initially I dismissed the advice and just put away the idea of living in China long-term, but in the past few months I think I've come around to continuing my education.

This is a big deal for me, I dropped out of highschool when I was 18 and just two years from graduation because the school I was going to would shut down and I couldn't stomach starting over again at a new school in the middle of the George Floyd Riots and the COVID-19 Pandemic. I eventually tried to finish my highschool diploma but when the school went under a bunch of my credits just vanished into thin air and I was looking at another 3½ years of highschool so I gave up again.

Now I'm 23 and with the support of my comrades on the commune I am finally feeling confident about picking up my schooling again, I'm planning on biting the bullet on the GED (which I should have done in the first place instead of going for the highschool diploma) and applying for college.

I'm looking at mycology, I've had an interest in it since I was 18 and I love microscopic organisms. Fungi are extremely interesting to me and I'd love to learn more about them in ways that are not from the pervasive pop-science or spiritual/psychedelic angles that dominate in the West.

I just wanted to share this with others, I'm excited and I've already started crawling through my old textbooks!

 

Here's a little video for folks new to adventure mode by Blind!

 
 

I just wanted to express my appreciation to everyone here for making Lemmygrad what it is. I love reading your analyses and seeing the memes you share. You always make me feel better and give me the motivation to keep fighting when something horrible is going on in our world. No other online Marxist community has been such a positive influence on my life like this one has, love you all very much. <3

 

I'm so excited for adventure mode to make it's return! Do you have any favorite moments from adventure mode?

News from Niger? (lemmygrad.ml)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Catfish@lemmygrad.ml to c/comradeship@lemmygrad.ml
 

Hey just wanted to see if anybody had any news about Niger, it's been quiet in my circles and I hope things are going well. If anyone has any news sites they could share that touch on Niger that would be appreciated.

Edit: I accidentally typed in Nigeria instead of Niger. I changed the title and body to reflect that I'm trying to learn about the situation in Niger.

 

Hey comrades, I'm looking to hear experiences from people who've received visas or citizenship for China.

I'm thinking about moving to China in the future but my resume isn't stellar. I've never graduated US highschool and my only work experience is as a farmhand, in a warehouse, and in a factory. I don't think I have any extremely marketable skills for something like a work visa. Interested to hear from y'all!

 

Hey comrades, I just want to make sure we're all aware of some basic opsec when it comes to leftist firearms. Whenever you take a picture on your phone or on a camera, Metadata is stored in the file. This metadata can include a lot of information like what phone you're using or the location it was taken. We all care about this for obvious reasons so it's very important that we're making sure to wipe the metadata and any identifiable landmarks or information on images we plan to post here.

Take a moment to learn how to wipe and read metadata on images, you can find information online of how to do this. I personally just use an app on my phone to do it.
