Do Something In The Real World

Do Something in the Real World

Alright. Folks. Here is the thing.

Posting on tumblr, Youtube, BlueSky or other social media is nice and all. And it is very important to educate people. I mean, have of what I am doing on this blog is trying to educate people.

But I have realized, that it simply ain't enough. And this is why I am writing this.

I am sorry, folks, but y'all need to get going in the real world out there. And I mean it. No matter where you are, there is going to be some organization at your place trying to make a change.

Maybe it is a political organisation trying to get good people elected. Maybe it is a soup kitchen. Maybe it is some other mutual aid group. Maybe it is an organisation bringing stuff to disenfranchised people. Maybe some folks who band together to phone politicians. I don't what it is. But I can guarantee you, that almost for certain there is something around you, where people are trying to do good.

And you - yes, you! - need to join them. And you need to do it now.

As this is going online (this is prescheduled), I am out in some street canvassing for the German Left Wing party, because there is an election on Sunday. Tomorrow I will be out helping folks set up a protest against fucking fucking nazis. We are expecting more than 10 000 people to come on our side.

Yes, I know you are tired. And I know you might be somewhere on the spectrum. I am too. I am fucking exhausted. I am on the spectrum. Oh, and I am heavily physically disabled.

It does not matter now. We need to organize. We need to get moving. Educating some already similar minded people online is just not going to cut it anymore.

The world is out there. And you need to interact with it. No matter how much it sucks. Because I guarantee you, if you don't do it now, it is gonna suck even more in the future.

We should have done this before. Fuck. We should have done this latest when Greta Thunberg started her thing. At the most latest we should have gotten this going when the pandemic was happening. We had some movement with BLM, but we let it peter out.

No more.

The future begins now.
