Often, when thinking of the struggles that an individual faces in Fascist America, Carlos instructs, "It's not you, it's the system". When it comes to prescribing systems work that needs your immediate attention, it's quite the opposite. It's not the system, it's you. It's how you interface with the workers who are also in the system for their own survival, and co...

Day off today? Thank your local socialist. That's right, it's Labor Day of 2026. What does that mean in a country that is increasingly hostile to workers? Collective responsibility and mutual aid, IRL relationship, and embracing our own shadows. Who's in?

How can we yield our crops before they're full matured. I''m not sure, but the United States has figured it out and now we have tasteless tomatoes and bananas that have little to do with nature.
