telling someone "you dont have to be their best friend or invite them to your group chat, but you need to get along with people you dont like. your neighbors, your coworkers, people near you but who dont have a lot of shared interests with you - you need to get over your disdain for the ways they interact with the world and try to find common ground and community solidarity with them. that doesnt mean tolerating harm or hate; it just means forming communal bonds with people who fundamentally want the same things as you" and watching the leftism leave their body

Collective action does in fact require having an answer to "you and what army"

@sedge asked:

of all the types of wood you've worked with, which one's aroma do you like the most?

Red cedar smells pretty amazing, cherry's nice but there's a thin margin between nice hardwood smell and choking on the stuff. Honestly at this point while freshly cut wood is pleasant, if there's a strong enough smell for me to become really aware of it that registers first as a problem with the dust collection system. For my money the top woodworking odor is shellac, the old-fashioned kind that comes in flakes. Science has not yet invented a food that tastes as good as that shit smells, especially in your like third hour of french polishing the same little area gradually getting blitzed on ethanol fumes
