A physicist, a biologist, and a mathematician are assigned to watch an empty building. On the first day, one person goes into the building, and nobody comes out. On the second day, one person goes into the building, and nobody comes out. On the third day, nobody goes into the building, but three people come out.

The physicist writes in his notebook, "It appears that our initial observations might have been incorrect."

The biologist writes in his notebook, "Clearly, the two people we saw go into the building must have reproduced somehow."

The mathematician writes in his notebook, "If one more person goes into that building, then it will be empty."

i feel so bad for black panther party. imagine being the only truly revolutionary vanguard (in communist sense) organization usa ever had to end up destroyed by fbi with multiple members still in jail to this day and then the empire you were fighting against made an utterly reactionary marvel movie named after you with your ideas of black nationalism/liberation and pan africanism flipped upside down to resemble something more like zionism. so now modern people associate black panther with that movie instead of you. and also the biggest black capitalist popstar in the world performed at the country's main jingoistic event appropriating your imagery for the good of empire.

Being a leftist is fun because it's mostly you and your buddies very loudly saying "this system doesn't work and if we don't do anything about it shits gonna get bad" only to be told "shut up don't be unrealistic" and then shit gets bad and those same people are like "wow I hope you're happy."

you guys know you can get USB connectable CD, dvd, and blu-ray players right. and you can buy external hard drives with crazy amounts of space for an amount of money that would make the average person from 2009’s head explode bc of how cheap it is. and if you do this and get ripping software such as handbrake for CDs and DVDs and makeMKV for blurays you can both own a physical copy of whatever media you want and make it accessible to yourself no matter where you are. do you guys know this

From the article:

But, as Brownell explained to new customers, Smart is different from the typical craft store: Everything on its shelves has been donated. The shop is what is known as a creative reuse center. These crafting thrift stores keep leftover and unwanted art supplies out of landfills, and instead get them into the hands of other creators at affordable prices. Smart combines that model with another mission. Many of the employees and volunteers who run the shop are adults with disabilities. Over the last decade, the organization has diverted more than one million pounds of art and craft materials from landfills, while providing over 37,400 hours of job coaching, volunteering and employment for adults with disabilities.

I think this is a really great example of how expansive environmental work can be--and how it can coincide with other forms of community action.

Protests and politics aren't the most effective or sustainable form of action for everyone (though there are more diverse ways to participate in that kind of action too!)--providing a service to your community that increases sustainability and aligns with your passions and interests is also an extremely valid and needed form of environmental action.
