1/ Pretty epic falling out with C yesterday. It started first thing in the morning when I discovered she hadn’t phoned the doctors to make an appointment. She’s bed bound with abdominal pain meaning that I’m having to care for her and baby full time. I’m happy to do that but I do expect C to play her part by seeking medical help. She did then contact the surgery, but doing it late meant she was unlikely to get a same day appointment.

I went cold-turkey with caffeine 10 days ago.
After a few days of severe headaches and generally not feeling great - I started actually to sleep better, and thanks to that - I have more energy during the days, generally in a better mood, and I am finally feeling inspired to do fun stuff again.
Just finished my next meshtastic solar node, and currently fixing up my homelab that has been neglected for 7 month or so.

On ne pourra pas toujours compter sur l'incompétence des méchants et la méticulosité de certaines vigies pour sauver l'Etat de Droit.
On ne sera peut-être pas aussi chanceu.x.ses que les Tazunien.ne.s sur ce point. Parce que niveau incompétence des damnés de la méchanceté, ils posent la barre super haut.

The #IWW #GDC as an antifascist organization was always kind of a hack. It was a beautiful hack and it worked well for what it did.
In 2016, as Trump was rising, I found info from the Twin Cities GDC. They were super organized, building an amazing community defense organization. When we (Seattle) went to set up our chapter, following their lead, they were extremely supportive. When I got shot, Twin Cities folks were at my house keeping my partner safe. They literally flew people out to support us. They very much remain in my mind when I think about what mutual aid looks like.
Unionism is an important strategy of a larger fight. But it's important to realize that it's not the other way around. The GDC was built to defend the union, because there wasn't something larger to do that work. It filled a gap.
When we organized against Trump, we tried to make the GDC the greater thing. We tried to make the GDC into the vehicle for social revolution against the fascist threat... And it sort of worked. We were able to do a lot.
But that was never what it was built to do. It was always built as an appendage of the IWW. This contains its own problem. If Unionism is the revolutionary movement, then it becomes impossible to build a truly revolutionary society. Unionism centers "workers" which implicitly decenters those who can't work in the traditional sense (the young, the elderly, those physically or mentally able to work). It also decenters care labor that hasn't yet been widely commodified. Sure, there are all types of hacks to patch the holes, but the fundamental construction starts from the wrong assumptions.
It felt, for a while, like things could go another way. Like that our ability to bring members in could shift things a bit, maybe set the GDC on more equal footing with the core focus of the IWW. But that was always an illusion, far less important to think about than the crushing terror of the regime we were fighting.
Now, I will absolutely trash talk the IWW on occasion but in the end I do think they're doing good and important work. Any criticism I have should be taken with a grain of salt... And I know I do have a lot of salt. Again, Unionism is an important strategy. It's useful both in improving immediate material conditions and as part of the most powerful weapon we have against the capitalist system: the general strike. It's important, I can't say that enough. But it's not sufficient.
I've been thinking about this a bit recently, and I wonder if there are any other GDC organizers or former organizers who might be feeling the same. Feel free to DM me. I'd like to get some more perspectives and see if my understanding from several years ago deviates significantly from what other folks are feeling right now.
I'd also like to bounce some ideas around that come from my own organizing experience.
