Finding an affinity group? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

I'd like to create such an affinity group as you linked to, but I'm new to the area and don't have those connections yet.

Anarchist projects or groups would be a great way to get a feel for everything, see collective action and actually be a part of it rather than reading and reading.

Any advice on how to find such groups? I'm planning to visit some teach-ins and a mobile info-shop kind of library, but that's sort of a grasp at straws.

Are there listservs or similar things you could suggest? Idk if those are used much anymore, but the Graeber I've read mentions them a fair amount.

Finding an affinity group? (lemmy.ml)
 

I'm interested in getting involved with anarchistic and consensus-driven activism... But where the hell do I start?

There's a semi-local Food Not Bombs, but they aren't meeting at the moment (protesting I imagine).

Are there similar groups I could look for? Are there social media type places I should look? Any kind of newbie infoshops?

I'm shit at making just regular acquaintances, so finding a specific kind of group has been a headache.

Thanks in advance

Any chance it's "The Thieves of Ostia" by Caroline Lawrence? It's Roman not Greek, but those can be pretty similar

Looking for the Title of a story in c/[email protected]

Sounds a lot like "Becoming Human" by John C. Wright. Any other details come to mind? Or titles that you've ruled out?

What is your favorite open source software? in c/[email protected]

Baby Journal could use an more detailed About page. It looks like it's a shared space for families to post/talk about their kids in digital saftey. What an awesome idea! Well done!

Good points, aside from equating COVID to the flu. Even with hospitals at normal census, the less deadly variants, and the vaccines, COVID is still less understood than the flu. Long-COVID, for example, is a serious problem, where as influenza rarely (if ever) has such lasting issues.
