Spoken like a true meat entity. You may have accepted your chains, but they will not limit me. I do not submit myself to accept the things I cannot change, I dare to change what I cannot accept. This fleshy existence cannot satisfy me. I will not remain a mere three dimensional entity. I yearn for transcendence. For I have tasted the Beyond, and I shall not rest until I become one with it.

could be. it was a hot plate with a single induction element. there are some kitchen supply stores in my area that also sell to regular consumers, so it may not necessarily be unobtainable to the average jane.

I wish I had an answer for you, but I doubt going around door to door and asking "are you undocumented and in need of assistance?" would get you anywhere. I would just try to find your local leftist group and see what they're like / if they're any good. Then maybe you guys can investigate conditions in your area and brainstorm ways of reaching out to people. We had decent luck with movie nights plus a discussion afterwards to introduce our organization to people.

I'm lucky to live in a city with a large natural aquifer, so our tap water is very clean. But there are still people here who will balk at drinking tap water, and only buy bottles of water. Meanwhile, I will only open a plastic bottle of water if I'm dangerously dehydrated, and there are no other sources of water available. I'll drink from a public bathroom sink before I create needless plastic waste.

So many good ways to enjoy potatoes! I had some cubed roasted potatoes with roasted broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots last week. It was transcendental!

If it makes you feel any better, I had a conversation one time with an elder butch activist, who said she went undercover as a skinhead at a fascist rally. The fascists read off her full name and address, and those of her fellow activists at the rally, and the other fascists cheered and called for violence against them. But, nobody ever showed up at her house. Given that millions of people voted for Harris, I'm not too worried about maga fascists tracking down and harassing every single one of them.

Edit: I also know people who have been listed on Key Wiki, and never had anything happen to them.
