#LABOR #UNION
REMINDER
cops are not labor.
they are slave catchers, bail extortionists and state-controlled terrorists who only exist to serve the interests of the American oligarchy.
cops don't have #unions. they have union-busting gangs

Biology Defaults - Man & Woman...
Biology Defaults - Man & Woman
(The physiological and psychological pre-sets and template - changeable only with strong minds)
█Woman - Give Life / Care / Accept / Children as purpose or life
█Man - Take / Workhorse / Build Destroy Material / Use others as resistance or to define own self existence.
Admittedly narrow and limited but down to the body and defaults somewhat in many ways as well as education.
No denying Women want / need to give birth and Man has different skeletal and muscular template (that both drives both somewhat).
I wrote this after purifying crudely lots of conversations where either man or woman accepts some things in the modern day but finds it hard to do change their children or cutting trees perspectives in a nice or more consider way than their pre-set drive that seems to overrule a lot of logic.
█Like not bringing more children if they can agree how they or their man/partner get it less and less morally / that money or banks are raping them / their children are too expensive on the world and actually decision making goes out the window to solve any part of world as it narrows to 'my family first'. So then forcing children somewhat bringing children knowingly on to leaking boats and bad systems / pimps / managers but still going ahead.
I'm sure some adults feel like this (adults being the children now with feelings about being here on increasingly corrupt / false existence)
Denying themselves is hard...
█ Man using other men and finding it hard to accept that the rule for life has to be less a subservient structure and slave-like work (they don't like themselves) just to rule or balance life (which they can't see without and don't want to spend time thinking 'spiritually' or investing in non-material ways). Progress is material (and therefore war).
█ Give priority above certain level is impossibly hard too even if understood when #1 or #2 pre-set or drive is so high up and so close in priority but asking people to swap them around means for a totally different tree or category of life to exist and means "a world of difference" as #2 = #1 (and therefore root perspective of life like non-harming people or reducing any more harm as new or existing people).
The root mentality and perspective / end goal priority can change everything and that's why it's often listened to but thrown out because it's a type of death or asking snake to change skin or even changing into another animal (call it spiritual if helps see it's a totally different world than material or physical).
It's a kind of death or a leaving of traditional Disney ideas or old world mentality of doing well / doing right in a skewed concept or even self-tricking way.
Ending suffering more often or *creating* a new world while re-creating themselves is not seen as their job or purpose (but continuing the same 'jumping off bridges' seem to be ok for them or doing what others have done or paid to do.
Not easy! Again about survival - for some spiritually more than physically as one without the other is like a living death / emptiness.
Chewing plastic allows one to focus on challenging things, much like horses have a bit.
Also delays taking food instead, which is usually used as a kind of neurological or nervous reaction to the natural state of accomplishing challenging tasks.
I recommend soft wrapping (pasta wrap, crisp packets) and plastic juice bottles (sideways-on start to chew and flatten).
Although the idea or even using plastic doesn't make sense usually, as a material this has squashy properties which can work for you before throwing away.
This is a kind of practical solution in the time of scarcity and economy of spending time economically while being productive in other ways.
The problem in the end is the whole system, as the root problem growing all other problems...
(like you can grow poison or unhealthy habits and toxic environments and monetised attachments)
Question is how to uproot or change embedded roots without the whole tree falling over as result of changes (if indeed a leaning tree can be saved)
...even without the added mentality of lower levels of folk to adjust and balance somewhat. Or perhaps that's the answer... to repair from leaf to root in humanity?

The 2024 Zapatista Encuentro
A Report-back with Footage of a Play about the Movement to #StopCopCity
https://crimethinc.com/Encuentro2024
Participants in the Weelaunee Solidarity Collective describe their experiences at the gathering celebrating the 30-year anniversary of the Zapatista uprising, including their reflections about what the ongoing Zapatista project can teach aspiring revolutionaries elsewhere around the world.
We also share footage of the play they performed at the gathering in memory of Tortuguita, who was murdered one year ago today.

Do you feel like Fediverse really sees your posts and hears you?...
Do you feel like Fediverse really sees your posts and hears you?
Might be hard to say 100% but:
☻YES = you get do get responses and even occasionally instant reply
☻No = it's like Fediverse has still just started
☻So / So = maybe half and half
Society feeds off young people also because they don't know any better, and willing to go along with it for a bit (or a long time)...
(...which is good and bad, and not knowing is for better and for worse sometimes.)
--------------
Added note below:
--------------
Would be good and ideally the aim for everyone if adults could still wisely give space regularly to the unknown and roll with it a bit more often instead of on and off type binary acceptance and only expecting what works perfectly which is almost a false / harmful mechanism of progress since humans are "imperfect" by nature.
Whatever is the more regular solution or process NEEDS TO ACCEPT IMPERFECTION more willingly and as part of nature!

Would you be interested in using Fediverse / Mastodon currency...
perhaps by answering here it would help show support and discuss it more - yes do you want to bring about change by it's imagination and to test if it was fairly harmless?
(...would be fairly conscious thing but accepting of course never totally if it's sort of another arbitrary fakeness represention thing as a token or whatever for people and planet's existence...
but yes nearer to freedom and less valuing arbitrarily... getting nearer to people and planet as 'priceless' or no price over their heads ...
Within Fedi people maybe something...?
Short film that incorporates AI, music and live action...
@Meremortals
█ "Magic Mushroom Fun Time' -
a short film that incorporates AI, music and live action with splits going to everyone involved."
https://invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=CWpcnnjCM4o
----------------------------------
And few other mixed points and comments below starting with █ :
----------------------------------
█ My first AI type of video by almost accident - Is mushroom trip inspired but no main mushroom shots or lead role there.
█ Wonder how deep AI is used here and if it naively means more aesthetically using it to process transitions and the filter blends or more things like the need to use AI servers / handing over content to proprietary servers and software or API type stuff... (but I have no idea what's needed)
█ Best is learning more about "Value For Value" theory or model #v4v or #value4value as I'm into how we can involve or use each other more often...
█ Anyone clues welcome about how much AI is used here!...
█ Also wanted to ask makers if I can put clips of 'Magic Mushroom Fun Time' video clips here on the Fediverse?...

You might have heard recently about the first #v4v film to be made. I had a chat with @ColeMcCormick about how #value4value inspired not only his podcast 'AMERICAPLUS'; but also 'Magic Mushroom Fun Time', a short film that incorporates AI, music and live action with splits going to everyone involved.

It's about changing / opening our minds...
I give people time and I thnk that's the difference to others online who really don't have or give time and give up on people really easy... (don't mean to be competitive, no put-downs, just I more dedicate time to others and weave us together).
So you don't even have to read any of this because EVERYTHING needs time + communication and without that a lot is broken and even less human even if it's for good...
Just follow and put notifications on to TEST MY FEED.... the rest below is just over-info for most poeple.
Open Learning School or Freedom University...
------------------------------------
A lot you might be at length and depth, but if you're easy about it, you can take the best and even take me along to understand life with others!
To learn and do everything practically! (this is a practical living (and gets stuff done as much as we can).
Fan of Fediverse!
Quick Look - peace-loving work / services:
█ Mini-Podcast (few mins each, examples below)
█ Picture remixes / video remixes
█ Lessons without being too 'teacher' about it. Teacher has teeth for eliminating doubt.
█ Food for thought as gentle soul also.
█ Unique ideas - often impossible for professionals (they are burdened by financial repsonsibility and therefore associational risk in saying things). I'm more diverse and occasionally direct (with respect, though I don't shy away from reminding people).
█ Not too embarrassing to say "I don't know" but can still chase things.
█ More responsive than casual users usually because people think having 'job' is enough in life. I say it's not! And even faimily is of no use if it's only getting worse (in everything!).

I help people create audio / edit educational audio / podcast / music / visual short videos / transcript text
+ I like to add a bit humour while being quite strict in my own politics (opinions) but open / inviting for others to tell me what I should do if they can explain more than just a short comment (I don't mind it's healthy for me at least if you have logic and can stand yourself explaining).
FreeSchool is about Learning towards Freedom (which is about Uniting everyone slowly, even "1 by 1"... Easy with The Fediverse!
Not virtue signalling here only, but practise of EVERYTHING as we go. Judged by getting in contact (many have) and having courage to communicate (or seeking it from others is ok, EVERYONE needs a bit of courage or hand-holding to make big personal changes). Who else is there for example if family doesn't understand?
Learning and watching can be good and staying out of people's way, BUT better is doing something every day and helping each other with some tough decisions / lessons... and then being bold enough to do them. 1... 2... 3 that is all that's needed.
Let my posts do most of the talking.
Put me on notification (click bell that appears after follow ia accepted) and if it's not interesting switch off after and tick me off the list of potential people to follow daily!
Media version of my posts here... open link for later... good for visual scrolling version and judge me on that I don't mind...
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/media
I'm usually impressed with my media gallery as I work on posts a lot usually or hit the "Aha!" moments and capture it (other people may forget it for years, not me!).
Freedom is about *making it work together* better like using #Mastodon on the #Fediverse daily for better platforms with more #bestpractices and 'best' people to help us which I kind of collect here and
when it's #1 comment!
I am measurably better because I reply and stick to everything to the end(!)
No cancelling friendship suddenly without saying why or being moody!
Freedom is to Learn, Respect and Love eventually and ️to Unite!
Practically it's also like Tetris - add yourself to the puzzle and watch it all happen...
█▬▄▀ ╚ ╦ ╝╠╧
talk more on Mastodon and the Fediverse and puzzle it all out using better ways to less use the other bad commercial / extractive people...
L£$$ of the less caring people like the ggl's / ytb / gmail / mainstream communication points etc who are offering lots of space 'free' and it's not free of peace there.
We GIVE to real people (TIME NOT JUST MONEY).
There's no buy-in solution - we have to make it with selotape or whatever we have - it's not shameful to bring whatever you have.
FreeSchool is terminology put together from many good things from past (coined in 1950's/60's. I / we become it eventually through being.
It's a movement for Freedom via Learning it all (learning self included and less active stuff) and doing the learning *together* --> https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeschool.
I encourage you warmly to participate with me as a I have time and then spiral out naturally to others (we are part of humanity and so naturally a sort of evangelism or ecological pyramid of life as we choose to spread lesser suffering while accepting consuming is part of it).
Less-commercial in orientation (in everything) and happy to think / work for free.
Naturally you will hesitate if someone is sure of themself or ok standing on shoulders what we copy do the best from humbly but not too sterile either.
Based on just emotions ruins almost everything, which seems very common - very ungraceful - so don't disconnect... do it gracefully at least!
A "school" of thought is here you can interact / ask and make best together as free/low cost as possible.
Even a bad answer you can take best from (of course I won't know all your situation when I suggest something but I don't need to answer 100% - you also need to help me!).
Leave perfectionism, we are all imperfect humans! Let's do it... Choose something ANYTHING and keep the thoughts rolling together...!
