Well, I thought I was making a bit of progress with my lego-ish retro radio. Each bag is number Be My AI was telling me what they were. That's bag 1. That's bag 2. That's bag 1 and that's bag 3. And that's bag 2. So, I may have to call a volunteer. That or rope in my wife, but she gets annoyed with stuff like that. To be continued.

Since I got asked this a bunch last night after reporting stuff I heard from the White Women Call #AnswerTheCall2024, “Now is not the time for purity politics,” I’ll define what I think that means.

Leftist purity politics is:

“I’m not going to do that thing to move the world left because the world is not already left enough.”

(You can feel this way I guess but what’s the point in saying it? It only brings down the energy of those who have chosen to act in a way they think best.)

Or variants, including “I’m going to distract from leftward momentum and drain energy from people moving the world left because they aren’t left enough.”

Purity politics is NOT:

“Please consider the effects on marginalized people as we work together moving left.”

(This is worthwhile actually, and not what I was calling “trivial.”)

Nor:

“I have a better idea for a strategy / approach / policy, so I’ll try to persuade you but we may disagree and have to hash it out.”

Also productive.

It is also productive at this stage to discuss how we or our representatives have done wrong in the past *only* towards solutions & avoiding the same mistakes.

It is NOT productive (purity politics) to interrupt momentum on a different topic (say fundraising, volunteering) to bring up past mistakes of OTHER, DIFFERENT Dem representatives for no other reason than to dunk on how shit past Dems have been.

I know this behavior has won a lot of social clout for folks in the past, look at me, look how much further left I am than you, but FFS it’s divisive & detracts from actually moving the world left. We all know how shit past Dems have been. It’s all we’ve talked about the past decade. How well has that worked out for us?

In the words of the late great Bob Newhart, “Stop it!”

If we want to move the world left, now is our chance. Pick up some tools and do what you feel is right, but do not derail someone else’s efforts unless they’re actively causing harm.

Like, here’s what.

We either believe in democracy or we don’t. (Yes, I know some schools of anarchy don’t believe in democracy/centralized democracy, but I do and so do most people on the left.)

Democracy comes with some difficult realities. Especially if we’re embracing diversity. That means lots and lots of differing opinions about how society should be run. Which means that when we come together to decide, or influence our elected representatives to decide, that we have to compromise. Everyone gets a voice, some of those voices are wrong, and sometimes people you disagree with will decide things you don’t like. That’s how it works.

Otherwise, what you’re effectively saying is that you want a tyrant so long as you’re the tyrant.

What isn’t up for compromise is each person’s right to exist and other rights that should always be protected. Everything else is up for debate, and that’s the downside of sharing power equally.

The liberation of the upper class from their experience and culture free gilded cages need to be a core part of class struggle. Breaking straight people free from the shackles of an enforced monoculture of reproduction and subservience have to be part of the LGBT movement.
A feminism without the understanding that also freeing men from crushing gender norms is critical will miss the mark inevitably.

3/3 So finding the pressure point of those that benefit more from an oppressive system as a tactic needs to be a thing in any egalitarian project. Because there is no system like it without the enslavement of all within it. Some suffer less under it, but they still suffer.
My point is pretending someone is an active enemy is attractive, but its a losing tactic. Revenge is a human urge, but at best its only a changing of the guards but the prison still stand.

Guess who had no issues when I went out this morning? AwesomeSean!

I think the key is having full food dishes in the kitchen when I go out and making sure he sees it. I'd not been doing free-feeding with them before as they weren't great at self-regulating at the start. But I think the combo of "oh god she's left AND there is no food and I'm gonna starve" was just a bit too much for him.

I'd rather they eat a little too much than have a panic if I leave.

And I have to show off my brother's low tech but very effective method for keeping the cupboards shut - he did some measuring and just found cabinet handles on Amazon that we just hung over the cupboard handles. Keeps them shut, and we can get them on & off easily to get into said cupboards.

Bonus: If Jorge tries to break in, they rattle so I know what he's up to.
A shot of our kitchen cupboard handles and the securing method we are using to keep Jorge out. There are the two vertical handles that are attached to the cupboard. There is a third handle that is hung over the bottom loops of the vertical handles. The third handle has two pieces on each end that hang far enough down that the cupboards can't be opened.
