Many folks want to organize right now but aren’t sure how. There are many ways; that’s the hard part AND the beauty of it. This model by Leah Penniman, illustrated by Christine Tyler Hill, shows how comprehensive social change requires many strategies. We need all of us. Find your role and begin.

Four Wings Of Movement Collaboration
- Leah Penniman

A butterfly is drawn with four segments of its wings, each labeled RESIST, BUILD, REFORM, and HEAL. Within each winglet, examples are written, and they’re described in detail along the edges of the illustration.

RESISTING oppression via direct action—think Occupy, protests, boycotts, marches, treesitting, etc.

BUILDING new worlds and systems—think co-ops, community ownership models, land trusts, social networks, food hubs, organic farms, etc.

REFORMING existing systems to shift power and resources—think holding elected office, advocacy, institutional leadership, etc.

HEALING individual and collective trauma—think art and experience-making, storytelling, medicine-making, therapy, music, etc.

For almost 50 years, Donny's Place was a hub of LGBTQ culture in Pittsburgh. The former bar could become the first officially recognized queer historic site Western Pennsylvania.

Pittsburgh’s first queer history landmark is up for review

Efforts to preserve the shuttered Donny’s Place in Polish Hill will go to the Pittsburgh Historic Review Commission in February.

related but opposite fun fact: if you click on any google ad for an etsy item and buy anything from that store in the next 30 days, it costs the creator 12-15% on top of standard fees. so if you see something cool..... don't click, type it in

Yup. Microsoft automatically switched me to the $99.99/year version with Spicy Autocomplete. You have to go all the way through "cancel subscription" to be presented these options and get the $69.99/year one you actually chose.

Graphic comparing Microsoft 365 "Personal" to "Personal Classic." The sole difference is $30 more a year for AI.

You really are getting the sense that Zuck was resentful at having to treat LGBTQ people like human beings and the split second it became convenient for him not to he took it. He’s not reluctantly doing it, he’s not in touch with his employees about it, he’s racing for the button that lets him do it

Good chart! Ventilation can also be as easy as opening windows in every room during your holiday parties to get air circulating & refreshing continually instead of letting stagnant air give the aerosols from talking, laughing & caroling a chance to accumulate and hang in the air and infect everyone
