We rented out space for the evening, got the county council out for a Q&A session, and put out sign-up sheets for a dozen different activism opportunities we're planning. One of the activities is the sign brigade, which had samples on display.

We aren't just trying that in a small town, we're succeeding. We collected over $300 in donations for a local immigrant support network just tonight!

I've been absent while focusing on other organization efforts in my community. However, we have been inspired by other sign brigades, and are forming our own!

These could be miles long, but we've settled on these eight signs of fascism to warn about.

• Voter Suppression
• Control of Media
• Using Military as Police
• Pardoning Loyalists
• Prosecuting Opponents
• Detention Without Due Process
• Racial Profiling
• Rampant Corruption

Going through some old files, and found this antique gem

I've been wanting to make a 1:220 scale megacity diorama and don't know what options I have. I'm projecting I'll need to control the speed of two motors, some LEDs, and maybe a dozen or so tiny screens as digital billboards. It's the screens I'm worried most about.

I'd like to scavenge digital displays from e-waste, group them by type/resolution, and have a slideshow for each group that rotates throughout the city.

My initial idea was to use digital photo frames, but they're too big, and used ones are still too expensive for the quantity I need.

I'm assuming I will need multiple controllers(/processors?), but I don't know enough terminology to find what I need. I'm still thinking out the diorama, so if it's too hard/expensive I can just do backlit decals, but that's boring.

We had over 300 people turn out in the rain, in a town of only 2000!

We discussed the need for outreach at my local protest group meeting today, so we're planning a potluck! I'm designing the signs to advertise, and this is my initial concept. Details will get filled out when we're farther into the planning stages.

I might add more foliage at the bottom, idk yet.

I was talking to a friend and complaining that the nearest grocery store is 3km from me, he says that Europeans consider that a reasonable distance to the store and I'm just being lazy.

I don't have a car, I don't have a bike, and the bus only comes by every four hours. Am I being unreasonable for not wanting to carry groceries 3km in 30C weather, or is my friend full of shit? Neither of us have been to Europe.

During the pandemic I started taking photos of the snails in my yard, and now I'm making the jump to Pixelfed. I think this is my favorite shot so far.

I hope I see them again, they were cool!
