That's why I'm holding onto my 2020 Samsung s10 for dear life. And when it inevitably passes to a better life, I'll just get a refurbished one for a 10th the price of a new phone.
Perfect size to hold with one hand and fit in most pockets, with good enough guts (it was a flagship when it came out) to run most current apps without issues.
It can be mental health and alienation, doesn't have to be one or the other.
Then there's the consideration that a lot of mental illness is socially defined by deviating hard enough from the norm of a good wage worker, and not by the need to have a dignified, fulfilling life. But it doesn't invalidate the struggles we go through, or that we'd go through under other modes of production.
Yeah, I grew up at a time when point-and-shoot film cameras were cheap enough that each household had one, but we often had so save for months and let film rolls accumulate in a drawer until we managed to go develop them (all of my family is so adhd it's not even funny). I remember the development being really cheap, but printing the pictures was where the labs took you for a ride. When we got a film camera that had the tech to produce a test strip and select pictures before printing them we were so relieved.
I do the film camera thing because it forces me to be more aware of when I take pictures and of what/whom... I like the feel of the clunky mechanical cameras, and my dad left me a Soviet-made SLR that's a workhorse. It's also nice to have physical objects that jog your memory, instead of thousands of pictures I forget exist until I go looking for something on my phone. It is pretty expensive though. I'll go for months without taking pictures until I have enough to get by and spend on film and development.
Doesn't he have like millions from small donations in his legal aid fund? People are willing to give (very limited) material support, in large numbers. If a fraction of those people can be mobilized to provide further material support, it would be way more militancy than we've seen in decades.
Cheeto in the white house and so on.
White liberals (and many white leftists) will support anything until they realize it mostly helps black people, and inconveniences them slightly. Tale as old as the US.
Air defenses have shown themselves incapable of dealing with drone swarms, too... Iran has the capability to make and launch very large swarms in preparation for a missile strike, so they have the capacity to strike with a pretty good chance of success. Of course, this wouldn't work with a pre-emptive strike, since the drones pretty much announce that a missile attack is coming.
Damn, that looks like such a precise and limited strike. I know nothing about these things, but it's really amazing they have this level of accuracy.
Porky showing their true colors with regards to Ukraine I suppose.
This has been the framing in a lot of western Europe news almost since the beginning of the war. How Ukraine will be a playground for European capitalists once the war is won.
Snowmobiles and helicopters are the means of transportation I won't get on under no circumstances. The only time you'll see me on one is if my life depended on it.
I remember my family ditching their film cameras in favor of a digital camera I got as a gift when I was a child... The camera had 3.2 megapixels and now all our pictures from back then look like ass.
Can't blame them though... Developing and printing film was such a large expense and hassle to go through.
Tag yourself I want to be Sun Ra but I'm more of a Chet.
First, infinite thanks to the comrades who have contributed. You have no idea how at least having that bit of money set aside helped me motivate to not rot in executive dysfunction. You're all wonderful. 
Some good news, for a change! Found a job that should tide me over for a few months while I put things in order a bit. The job should start at the end of January, and pays monthly. But at least i'll be busy and getting money!
If anyone can chip in with whichever amount you can, you'd be providing precious help. Thank you in advance, and have a lovely weekend!
EDIT: i'm a dumbass, i didn't put the details to send the money. I have set up a ko-fi account, where you can donate anonymously: ko-fi.com/izzysfoodtakes (don't worry about the first name and opsec, it's a new name i'm trying out but nothing to do with my real name), and I can PM you my paypal username if you prefer to use that.
Just a heads up that the idea of nature = no humans, or rather, the divide between human spaces and "natural" spaces is also firmly rooted in white supremacy and colonial ways of looking at land and its role in production. Indigenous and global south people, even global north people in some cases have thrived in rural and wild environments while inhabiting them and participating in the biodiversity. The problem isn't people, it's extractivism. And if ecosystems will ever have a chance to recover it will be through regenerative and conscious practices, not by letting fields fallow and forests do their thing while humans live sequestered "outside" of nature.
