@nocko@makerdon.org #introduction I am a long-time anarchist formerly active in Tucson, AZ and DC; working on becoming active again in London, ON (#ldnont).
I worked with FNB in Tucson once before I left and did lots of organizing around sweatshops / Anmesty / prison abolition and anti-war.
DC work was mostly HacDC and tech mutual aid and a few IWW meetings.
In #ldnont I've hosted (pre-covid) monthly fix-it cafe / repair mutual aid. I've reached out to FNB and am currently looking to do more.

im trying to eat and you're trying to emulate settler colonial pastoral landscape aesthetics. we are not the same.
