+ It's both a digital diary and an act of protest.
+
+ It's both a content library and proof that we exist.

+ Protesting is pretty great, actually. +

+ Docs are uncomfy as hell, which made me think
+
+ We talk a lot about how to 'walk in someone elses shoes'
+
+ As a means of understanding how they're doing, and what they might be struggling with.
+
+ Rarely, though, is there such focus on our struggles.
+
+ There is much focus on my struggles, but not on the collective.
+
+ Break for meeting w/anon
+
+ Oftentimes, I get caught up in my day-to-day.
+
+ The bullshit of it all.
+
+ The stupid fucking tasks my project managers give me.
+
+ The endless spew of bullshit my customers tell me.
+
+ The expectations society sets for me.
+
+ It's likely that you relate in some way.
+
+ But, you might ask "what can we do about it?".
+
+ Which, well, is a fucking loaded question.
+
+ So, let's talk about just that.
+
+ Every protest I've been to has had some set of underlying goals.
+ Whether this be a set of demands, visibility for their issue,
+ or merely for others to take their cause seriously.
+ You might have some demands yourself.
+ Maybe you've faced some hardship you wish nobody else would
+ ever have to face.
+ Maybe you're part of a marginalised community, and you need
+ to fight to fucking exist.
+ Maybe you hate the hypergrowth forced upon us by late-stage capitalism.
+ Or perhaps you're an ally to those fighting for their rights
+ to exist.
+
+ If you fit any of these categories, protesting may be for you.
+
+
+ Sometimes, during a protest, you may find yourself
+ sitting on university steps, listening to a shitty
+ guitarist, wondering what the actual fuck you're doing.
+
+ Othertimes, you're having a really constructive conversation about
+ your goals as a community, and as a person.
+
+ Both may exist simultaneously.
+
+ That's the beauty of protest, in a way.
+
+ This post is inspired by a woman who stopped by the steps.
+ She said she wanted to help us out, and gave us the advice
+ to "make a GoFundMe" and to "ask some rich people who are
+ really into art for money".
+
+ This spawned some questions.
+
+ The truth is, money is easy. You make it, or lose it.
+
+ Community is harder.
+
+ The capitalists don't need to foster their stacks.
+
+ We need to foster community to survive under attack.
+
+ The only equity that matters under capitalism is percentage growth.
+
+ We promote equity first, then acheive degrowth.
+
+ To depend on the wealthy to allow creation is to destroy unique
+ creation itself. To depend on only a subset to allow
+ creation is to gatekeep creation from those not chosen by that
+ group.
+
+ Do you really want art gatekept by billionaires?
+
+ Do you really want to revert to a system where you need
+ a sponsor to get exposure?
+
+ Do you want program output to be more visible than
+ human input?
+
+ No?
+
+ Good.
+
+ Save the fucking arts.
+
+ Don't wait for the billionaires to do it.
