Very excited that the latest issue of The Counterforce is available to read and print at home.
It took a while, but Martin Force pushed me to do more and more for the zine over the last year and this ish has my fingerprints all over it.
I hope you enjoy it, especially the tour recap from my friends in Stress Positions, as well as the Blood & Roses fest rundown!
Long live the true alternative!

...unless you practice of all of the above, in opposites....
Without you 👈 this is 1-way traffic and almost a waste of our "social" time similar to #bots or #Zuckerberg type #Meta #
social.
Not really socially improving basically unless we practice 2-way communication...

1/ Trust is to a collaboration-based social order what fear is to an authority-based social order. Trust, then, is the glue that binds everyone together in a large-scale society or organization.

Whenever I have new #pottery ready, I send an email to my subscribers. It’s a way for me to communicate with people who want to buy my work and it’s also a place to express myself in more than 500 characters since I like to write. I describe my process, explain the thoughts behind certain pieces, share my inspirations, etc. If you’d like to sign up, visit my website.
My last #selfie for the algorithm before I deleted IG last weekend. Goodbye after 12 yrs + 50k followers 👋🏾 I couldn’t have done it if I hadn’t gained some traction here, so thank you for following.
I grew up in #punkrock and #anarchist organizing, so moving to #NonCorporate and #decentralized social media feels full circle. I want my #pottery to be part of a future of thought that represents progress and liberation.

@kralcttam That's why I don't even go to conferences to the US.
@Oma_Trisha_F @kralcttam I keep thinking about how Germans viewed the people who didn't stop Hitler getting into power when they could have...
It's Fediverse Punk Month! The Counterforce is encouraging punks to spend January trying the Fediverse: DIY alternative social media that is open, decentralized, and not-for-profit.
Check out the website for all the info: ALLPUNKSPLEASELEAVEMETA.com
As part of this initiative, we're hosting a series of online drop-ins.
#1 is this Sunday. Join anytime between 7pm and 10pm eastern time. This is very informal, and we'll do whatever folks wanna do: answer questions, do some demos, skillshare, walkthroughs. Bring your questions, or just come to listen and learn!
The Jitsi call link will be added to this even before 7pm on Sunday. You'll be able to join the call with any browser.
This even is open to people outside Montreal!
If you can't make this one, don't worry there will be others later in the month!
Freedom pioneer. All things towards #Freedom.
#FreeSchool = #Notes #Quotes (extracts / gems) from great #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites from all around the world towards
TOGETHER & MORE OFTEN DIRECTLY (who else is going to do it?).
#FreeSchool hashtag shows examples what this is about... and can check anytime.
Overall: Moving From Shorter to Deeper intelligence and more Caring thoughts...
( More below if you're able )
#DIY Care (because nobody else is going to as best as you do for those around) - #Caring IS our main #Politics / #Politics and "System" (not a system of cheating each other but caring and what Capitalism is cutting out - this is what we need to put back in and teach to those willing).
#Degrowth / PostGrowth
#WellbeingEconomy #DoughnutEconomics
#CaringEconomy / #CareEconomy / #Partnerism
"Free School" is a term for a movement born from the 1960's / 70's using educational living & learning practice towards #Caring & #DIY with all others (all at the same time - not an after-thought or specialism in 1 field or person who is a #compartmentalised person ignoring others in other fields). Caring to involves more things, increasingly aiming towards everything...
Posts are 1-line #Notes and #Quotes that links all other things (it's all relative).
Long comments use CW to shorten post vertically and add a 'show more' button to reveal more text if you want it. Long posts might seem bad but it's giving chance to more connection and understanding.
All things towards #Freedom (life moving from Shorter to Deeper thought).
Freedom doesn't come from short-depth lifestyles / short lines of text / ignoring / #inaction. Not less communication between lovers of similar things. MORE!)
#FreeSchool = Learning Together 🔁
#FreeSchool = Working Together 🔁 (eventually + I do Free work for Freedom.
#FreeSchool = Co-Operating & #DIY Solutions 🔁

#FreeSchool ➡ Increment Talking + Peacefully solve everything.
TLDR - Inaction = Fascism
Trust comes from "slowly but surely"... Doesn't have to be all-in, but peace doesn't come from one-way short messaging on 'social' Mastodon either - collecting memes and cats only is limited!
Remember we need develop better humans as well as 'develop' code on computers etc.
☮ Peace needs more... even to save all types of cats!
Get in touch - I'm someone that cares for everything because it's all human-related...
Human #chats welcome - I using #Jitsi audio chat which uses JUST browser (ANY PLATFORM + 2minutes to enter !)
(i.e. no-install / no account / no google / instant / privacy-respecting / safe-enough, etc!) Really the best out there - any platform / device! Instant audio chat !
Just ask for a link and prepare a few topics!
#AltText used (when I remember).
FREE WORK - I do free audio and video editing (anything considered - just ask).
Again - Creating Trust needs a bit of trust given "slowly but surely"... not all-in... being relaxed about it... but has to be more - 'working' like a 2nd job towards peace because your job isn't going to do it / it's now allow by State to get there! War increases prices etc ☮
So do "peace" as a side-job like it was your real job in the world, parallel to the Capitalism (Trap) you (we) were born into. We have to accept that and fight out of that and not be comfortable in it.
Heart and Soul all the way.
