"secret" society

Thinking about starting a secret society that is actually not a secret at all and is open to everyone, but we call it a secret society and have a cool clubhouse and secret handshakes and gestures for when we're in public and speak in code that's just silly nonsense.

It would be a community clothes closet, fridge and pantry, we'd have block parties where the only way you can gain admittance is to agree that this is totally a secret society and promise to tell at least one person that it's a secret society and tell them all about what we do and invite them to join.

We'd put ads out inviting people to come to our parties and join our secret society where it's just potlucks and trading or giving away things that members want to donate like clothes, books, furniture, baby items, old tools, extra tiles and lumber from that reno you overestimated materials for, etc.

There would be no leaders, just people who are good at organizing who want to help, and we would rotate and take shifts so nobody would be doing the same thing month to month.

There would be no dues or fees or treasury, just bring food and items to donate, and volunteer for setting up and cleaning up when you can. We'd have a community garden that was managed by volunteer members.

We'd have a time dedicated at each "meeting" (party) to discuss individual's needs like so-and-so needs help with a plumbing problem at their house, or so-and-so is offering free labor on car repairs, or this family in the community is looking for a pediatrician, or this elderly member needs help with yard work.

There would be no religious, political, or ideological prerequisites, just a community of people being kind to people.

If there were troublemakers, malcontents, or disrespectful people we would empathetically try to understand what their needs are that aren't being met and try to meet those needs, show them that there is a better way of resolving conflicts, and keep being kind, honest and respectful to them as an example of what community can be. We wouldn't just kick them out because we're stronger unified.

I don't believe this is an impossible idealistic fantasy. I've seen groups like this, I've been part of groups akin to this, and I've heard good accounts of communities getting through very difficult times by doing something similar.

The guiding principles would be: 1. Treat everyone the way you want to be treated. 2. Do what you can for our environment. 3. 1 & 2 are good enough.

Now we just need a cool name.

“They’re giving away free food at work,” my colleague said on the phone, “I’ll take some [list of things] for you. Oh, and dried tomatoes. Would you like some dried tomatoes?”

“Yes,” I said, without asking about pack size.

10 kg of dried tomatoes in oil.

Ten kilograms.

TEN.

ok so i'm gonna say something controversial

voting. i'm probably still gonna do it this election if i'm given the opportunity (i don't have reliable transportation to polling locations), so don't get mad at me. but like. the vote blue no matter who crowd is.. a bit concerning? people are blaming the average voter for the 2016 election not being a win for democrats, but if i recall correctly, hillary won the popular vote. the only reason trump won was because the electoral college voted for trump, which happened because of swing state loopholes. the conditions we're in right now are not uniquely unprecedented. project 2025 is not going to be stopped by kamala being president. after all, biden being in office didn't stop roe v wade from being overturned, and a lot of the promises of the 2020 biden campaign have fallen through. i don't think it's "doomerposting" or whatever to point any of this out, and i think it's obtuse to pretend like even if dems win this election any of the terrible shit that's being cooked up is going to be prevented.

i find it concerning that people are calling other people selfish and saying they don't care about ""harm reduction"" when they point out that voting is pretty much the thoughts and prayers of leftist action. i find it concerning that people are saying that this is unprecedented and has never happened before, and then coincidentally have never read up on US history outside of what they were taught in high school. i am begging you all to read up, become informed, and hopefully come back with a mindset of community work. no offense, but if you think that voting is the end all be all, i do not think you have read up on US history.

my point is not that you shouldn't vote, just like i wouldn't say you shouldn't think or pray about something. but please, PLEASE, add more to your roster of political activism than putting in a ticket to the polling booth. if you're not sure where to start on us history, i would recommend starting with a people's history of the united states, then go through beacon press's revisioning united states history series, and then go from there. there are free copies of those books/audiobooks online, they're not hard to find. you will learn so much about historical precedent, historical action, and historical community, and i promise that you will not regret learning more.

voting is not the end all be all, and it has never been. anyone who tries to convince you that it is the end all be all is either misinformed or has ulterior motives.

i promise you that you are not the only one that feels upset about the way things are right now. remember: strength in numbers.

as someone who often deals with ant infestations in the summer-make a mixture of sugar water and borax (more borax than sugar, but enough to attract the ants). put in on cottonballs or something else, and place them near where the ants are appearing or on their pathway. change it every so often, eventually the ants will leave!

YEAH I'm buying borax today for it </3 begging hoping and praying it'll send them to hell thank you

“bucky had decided it was best not to ask the commander if he would violate his nondisclosure agreement with the us government and give bucky her phone number” this book tests me … but this 16-almost-17 yr old boy tests me even more

Let me in, you've nothing better to do."

Worst thing about dogsitting is finding out a very nice lady in her 60s or 70s is still shaving her body hair and she’s probably been doing it since puberty. Best part is finding where they’re hiding drugs but not stealing any because I’m a good person and i brought my own. Jk the best part is looking at all of their food and how they organize it
