(TW: emotional and verbal abuse, manipulation)
I am taking a step back from tumblr (and the internet/social media in general) due to lots of shit I need to deal with in my life.

I’m going through a bit of a personal crisis, or rather going through the motions of an accountability process for a former partner. If any of y’all wanna talk about it or ask me any questions, I’m an open book. I have deeply appreciated the feedback and support thus far. In an effort to remain as transparent as possible, I will post the grievances and demands of accountability I...

lavendula asked: Second your response. Preach.
andrewxvx asked: I addressed that by talking about convince stores. Of which (especially in the lowest ecominic standing: ie. shanty towns for migrant workers, etc) you can still buy cans of beans and vegetables. The quality of food may not be the same by any means, and that is why health concerns are such a problem is the low socio-ecominic sector, but the shortage of sustainable food doesnt mean one can't...

Somebody should put this in a better tumblr-rebloggable format. If nobody does I will the next time I get a chance to sit down.
Edit: And while you’re at it fix the cissexist language.

Egypt’s anarchists are anticipating a crackdown before the first anniversary of the January 25 uprising. They are perceived as seeking chaos; villains who want to bring down the state, defy authority...

Anyone looking to move to Olympia?
Two rooms at my place are opening up around March. Both are $230 a month. Let me know if you’re interested.
MY HEART IS POUNDING I'M SO EXCITED
FB Fran: CASTING CALL! I'm working on a surrealist no-budget sci-fi comedy pilot called "Timehole!" to hopefully get onto Olympia public access and although many actors, editors, musicians and writers are already willfully contributing their time/effort there are still about 22 roles to cast including members of two teams of warring psychics, a government agent, a rockabilly-obsessed ghost hunter/con man, some brutish galactic warriors, the unlikeable love interest for an unlikeable character and Dr. Science, Man of Research. Any of you want roles or want to assist with set design, creature effects, costuming or locations? Want to be on television (if they decide to air it)?
Me: MY FRIEND AND I WANT IN ON THIS! Give me some infoooo. When are we filming?
FB Fran: Oh hell yes. In what capacity would you want do this, like would you want to act or do effects or work on sets or multiple/all of those things? Because I have a role you'd be perfect for, you'd be one of the federales trying to hunt me down and unlock the secrets of the timehole. I'm trying to get filming started next month, once scripts are taken care of and I have the equipment, locations, casting, score and props taken care of. I'd also like to meet your friend, I'm sure I have something that they would work very well with also!
It's not like I need more on my plate, but this sounds incredibly fun : D!

The Ché Café was having a busy Tuesday night—more than 150 people showed up to see Weatherbox, Snuffaluffagus and other indie-rock bands, and the venue was seriously understaffed. Another volunteer was supposed to show up but got sick and canceled, leaving Prout to run...
