it might be! i’m not sure if a camel’s back legs allow for splooting, but a lot of animals sploot to cool down / regulate temperature, so it’d be p useful!

nah, this one’s just resting. baby camels have their first wobbly steps almost right after being born, like horses!

an excellent loaf, may he always enjoy & admire his new surroundings whenever he is magically transported there! 🙂‍↕️🙌

gross, there should definitely be a rule against stealing people’s work & reposting it without credit so no one can find or support the artists 😮‍💨

amazing, thank you! 🙌

i’m assuming these are so closely cropped because you’ve cut out the title & artist attribution, hence the request to repost them uncropped.

can these be reposted with attributions to their artist(s)?

these days, people want to be sure whether what they’re looking at was actually made by a human or not

i hope it didn’t come across as harsh! really both problems 1 & 2 that you’ve outlined are the same things that everyone is dealing with. a lot of systems of oppression like patriarchy, european colonialism, capitalism, ableism, etc push people into isolation by design, & then tell people to heal from that in isolation, rather than in community.

(i suspect it’s designed that way to make people feel that these are individual problems & not collective problems, because if we realise that we’re all suffering from the same systems of oppression, we might do something to end those systems!)

we humans are a social species, and we’ve lived & learned & healed in community with one another for hundreds of thousands of years. just being open & communicating with the friends you already have about those issues is a great first step, then seeking out hobby groups etc is a way that you might expand your social circle beyond other men.

for the dating side of things, dating apps can be great, because boundaries are lot clearer there (over what is a date, what people are looking for etc) & that way, you can avoid the potential messiness of dating within your friend group.

tl;dr: i don’t think the formality of classes/training would be needed for this, but talking to your friends about this & going out of your way to make friends with mixed company would help a lot. (also, gathering with your friends, new & old, to dismantle the systems of oppression that are causing all these problems will solve things for future generations too 😎)

If men are facing a loneliness epidemic, they could learn to be friends with one another, enjoy one anothers’ company, and open up to one another about being lonely etc, instead of expecting women to train them.

I cant train men on how women want to be treated, and I wouldnt even want to tell men how women should be treated seeing as im not a woman.

Women want to be treated as equals to men, to be paid the same as men are, to be promoted in jobs as often as men are, and to be represented in government and media as much as men are. This is absolutely something that men can and should tell other men about.

it looks like an immense amount of work and skill, fair play! 🙌

this is crochet?! incredible, i didn’t know crochet could look so lacey and intricate 🤯🤩

i can use the searchbar on jellyfin & if it’s not already there, i can request it using jellyseer within that same search bar, so it’s possible to integrate the two somehow.

i’m afraid i’m not sure of the specifics though, i’m only using a friend’s jellyfin 🫣

thank you for posting this with the details, i’d seen this photograph a few times before, but never knew the specifics!

according to the wikipedia page, it sounds like the neo-nazis got a fairly icy reception in general 🤘

Another photograph taken by Runesson during the event shows the 10 Neo-Nazis being chased, pelted with eggs and violently confronted by a crowd made up of hundreds of attendants of the left-wing rally joined by local Växjö residents. One of the Neo-Nazis was kicked unconscious on the ground, then saved by one of the protestors who reportedly took pity on him. The far-right activists eventually managed to shelter in the toilets of the city’s train station, hiding there for a few hours until the police transported them away.

fair enough, it’s just a suggestion or jumping off point, what works in one area won’t necessarily work everywhere.

best of luck organising some way to make sure people in your community stay fed etc in emergencies, however you do so!

then i’m sorry that you’ve had that experience.

maybe try to organise a directory of local businesses/services/shared resources etc without discussing politics at all, if it’s something that gets people in your locality upset.

if your area has to deal with some extreme weather & gets flooded, for example, ensuring that everyone can stay fed & have access to medical care will be a lot easier if the groundwork has already been done in advance.

then you have misidentified them, those aren’t leftists.

try the same tactics anyway. you don’t have to be best friends with your neighbours & agree with them on everything in order to set up a mutually beneficial system, but that system will never get made if everyone just dismisses the possibility before ever making an attempt.

we can do both, imo! working class parties are great at organising folks on a larger scale, and on a smaller scale, sharing skills & resources in our local communities will still be useful under socialism, or even just in the case of bad storms & businesses being temporarily shut down

now’s the time to get really active in your immediate local community, figuring out a barter system & pooling resources so everyone will be okay during a collapse.

if you live near fairly conservative people, try starting it off with making a local directory of small businesses & trades, so people can support them. that’s a great starting point for getting to know who has what skills in your local area.

then after a while, you can try expanding that to making a local directory of resources and/or tools, and frame it as a way of sticking it to bigger businesses. “why should everyone buy their own separate lawnmower when people can borrow mine & the few others already in people’s garages? we win, walmart loses!”
