Fox Thirty Eight 🦊🌹 @fox_news@mastodon.social

Just called in to approve the work. Soonest I'm looking at having my car back is coming wednesday. Latest is monday the week after that. I should have the money together to be able to pay for the repair by the time it's done.

My next current urgent need is lodging. I can't afford to stay in this hotel. I can't afford one more night, and I really took this night because I needed the rest so much.

If anyone knows someone with space in Colorado Springs, or even Denver, to be able to put me up until my car is fixed, it would be greatly appreciated.

I can't afford both fixing my car, and staying in a hotel, or even a hostel, until the work is done.

I'm going to pick up a membership to couchsurfing.net and see if I can find anyone.

Every dollar sent to the "save anarkat" fund goes to saving anarkat! Well, not every dollar... some goes to processing fees. Ah whatever.

Since my family was involved in the white-flight segregation of the Chicago area, this is a step in the right direction.

Okay new PSA:

If you are in the U.S. or Canada, and identify /at all/ with "the Left," you /really/ should be reading all the news that comes out of Chiapas, Mexico. The region is the largest stable autonomous zone on the planet, controlled and protected by the Zapatistas. As such, it is a place where many of your theories are practiced, and things you've never even considered are also practiced. They routinely release updates about what they're working on and the political situation in the area.

https://chiapas-support.org/ is one solid website with English translations.

Let's see. In the past month alone I've seen:

-People in Texas being slapped with 5-6 figure power bills and companies not backing down.

-Context for the student debt crisis in which, well, if you have a so-called "useless" degree, how do you ever pay that back?

-Weeks of hand-wringing over means-testing for a stimulus that could be solved in a balanced way by nothing more than a flat distribution and a progressive tax take-back.

-Moratoriums galore but no forgiveness. There's a looming rent crisis being snowballed.

-Various forms of intellectual property lawfare and negotiations fucking up everything in medicine from ventilator repair to vaccine distribution.

-And more recently, context to a looming disaster in China. Cities build property to stay afloat, millenials buy it for marriageability, which is extremely competitive there. As it turns out when you mix sexism, abortions, tradition and capitalism together you get... literally entire cities where almost no one actually lives. They just "own". Sure politburo could bring the hammer (and imaginary sickle) down, but that would destroy their GDP. And as we know from the market, ZOMG DROPPING NUMBERS BAD! D:

-And don't even get me started on NFT. Just... don't.

And not to be orientalist here, just I think whatever happens to a place with literally 1/6 of the human population is gonna make waves, ok? Especially given some of the property they're buying is out over here on the west coast.

Disclaimer aside, the real thing I'm wondering is how much longer this veritable 'sugar snake' is gonna keep reacting and growing until it topples over (it already has been in a lot of ways), because I'd rather see it coming in a way where it won't land square on my head.
