Shared. Next time you go up there let me know. I didn't even know it existed as I don't leave Hillsborough that much and have an interest in the open mic stuff along with concerts.

Declaring sovereignty and denouncing the fiat currency system didn't work? Apparently we're not getting the message out beyond the gates of Substack readers. Damnit- Fakebook, Twit-X, Instascam, Dik-Tok, LinkedInandout, and the like, have destroyed democracy!

Can we take a vote?

what does that have anything to do with trying to help a local community venue keep its doors open? Should I tell them to let everything they've worked for just burn and everyone who gathers there to go fuck off because in order to be free you cant touch monopoly money? This isn't an anarchist compound, its an independent music, healing and community event space in a city.

as for the rest of us, we're ALL still in the system until we are NOT. this is in no way helpful at all and is honestly really disrespectful to people who are having real life struggles in keeping their doors open. There are plenty of people who are helping IRL in the community, and I did what I could to spread it further to ppl online. "The message" isnt going anywhere if it just stays on the internet, thats the whole reason everyone has been herded like cattle into these digital dumping grounds. we pour our energy out into the fucking void and then nobodys got any energy or empathy left when it counts. was that the point you were trying to make?

Precisely that point, Tess! I'm as frustrated as y'all are too. So I was being inapplicably facetious. But yeah it's not Kool but why not start a GoFundMe account for your buddies there, gurl?

Forgives? 🥺
