Scrolling is such a mindfuck because it’ll be genocide war cute puppies more war pedophiles in power funny reality tv clip environmental disaster war but at home have you tried yoga for your mental health

For anyone who wants to reflect on this topic on their own, in creative writing today, many of us started with lists!

It's a good prompt start: make a lists of all the boxes you've been put in and go from there.

Creative writing is for everyone. Join @indiejenfischer.bsky.social at #CultureFix today. #writing

Join me tomorrow @9 am PT/12 pm ET for Creative Writing. Free on the #CultureFix discord.

We're writing through/about boundaries. Prompt: this paragraph is a box. Write your way out of it, perhaps! Or rant about the box/boundaries/borders or interpret it a new way OR pick your own prompt!

Norooz at #CultureFix includes an article by @indiejenfischer.bsky.social and a listening session curated by @binact.bsky.social. All the details and more here: mailchi.mp/5b342310766c...

The regime is bad.

And the enemy of my enemy is not my friend.

History has shown us, over and over and over again, that US intervention has never benefited a country. Or a people.

Don't forget who put the regime in power in the first place. Context matters and the geopolitical timeline is long.

On Iran:

I love my people.

I want to see them free.

For longer than I've been alive, they have fought not just for freedom but for self-determination. They have been fearless and bold in this, taking economic, social, political and physical risks most folks can not truly fathom.

Capitalism tells us we’re in competition with each other. We’re not. Replacing fear and competition with abundance and interdependence.

Last day to join #CultureFix Love Notes is Feb 1. @norarahimian.bsky.social wrote about why it matters: mailchi.mp/32fa7877941a...

This week at #CultureFix: Join @indiejenfischer.bsky.social for our Short Media Discussion Group. Everyone welcome!

#CultureFix Love Notes kicks off today. Join us! Details here: mailchi.mp/f8555c7d154a...

Join us this month for Creatives' Support Group, virtual coworking, anticapitalist goal-setting with @norarahimian.bsky.social, media discussion and creative writing with @indiejenfischer.bsky.social, and so much more!

Psst… Let me tell you a secret: There’s nothing wrong with you and you’re allowed to set goals you’re excited about rather than goals you think you “should” set.

I’ll guide you through the whole thing, complete with action plans and on-going support.

“Lazy” is a social construct rooted in capitalism and religious dogma about hard work “protecting people from sin”.

Rest and relaxation are good for you, good for our relationships, and good for our resistance against systems of harm.

Why is it that we talk about aunthood as a form of community care and mutual aid, but not unclehood? The gender roles and constructs are still so deeply rooted.

Community is collaborative work. An invitation from #CultureFix to you: mailchi.mp/ac8e4ea098f1...

Don't know who needs to hear this, but creating is about the process and not the outcome. Don't worry about how it turns out; just let yourself play and create and enjoy.

Would it be #CultureFix if we didn't offer stickers? Our end of the year email just went out:

It can be confusing to keep track of all the lawsuits against Ticketmaster. There are at least four!
1)DOJ antitrust case (could lead to a breakup)
2)FTC BOTS act case (probably just big fines)
3)Heckman class action (faces steeper odds)
4)Swiftie class action (same)

I keep seeing random flashes of “NO they’re PETIT BOURGEOISIE” being argued about various arguments, and look, I’m begging you to understand that we have to update our understanding of Marx for a modern economy.
