Mini rant.
The next time someone try's to call me out for not being "political" or "radical " enough...
Listen up buckaroos, my older sister was a freedom rider, and later, she I and a few other folks opened Anarchy books in Chicago.
All my siblings worked hard with the women of the Panthers to feed kids.
And I have been "resisting" since before many of you were born.
Just being loud is not enough. Being angry might help, but only in the short term.

@corlin
Yep.
I get really tired of the Do Somethings who really do nothing except yell.
@corlin
What do I do?
I concentrate my efforts on making sure that people have food, because it's what I can do at this point in my life with my disability.
I can't volunteer at a food bank on site.
I can't work a soup kitchen.
But I can make sure that people have food. Cash donations. Goods donations.
I don't bleat about it. I just do it.
@Shelter
This is the way.
Start small, in whatever way you can. Act locally. Don’t be afraid to fail. Learn from mistakes. No need to ask permission.
@corlin
I worked bigger when I was younger and abled.
But again just did it.
People forget that most of the people doing the hardest work these days don't really use social media at all.
