    Bernie Sanders

    I am gonna vote for him and I broke my piggy bank and donated $3 to his campaign. I trust he has the good sense to choose a rad VP in case he dies while in office. I understand he has made some mistakes in the past, but who hasn't? It seems like he is sincere in his struggle to improve himself...

    Where to go?

    Wherever you start from and whichever direction you go I recommend inquiring at local bike shops about maps for cyclists. Sometimes those organized rides that yuppies pay to participate in have really nice routes that avoid roads with nasty traffic and are often dotted with pleasant campgrounds...

    The Pronouns Thread

    I love this piece of art and the expansive sentiment in reflects. I think it is possible for you to accept others as they are, and I hope someday you do. You say that you value debate, discussion, thoughts and ideas, but you also mention that you only "occasionally" meet a worthy adversary in...

    official declaration of takeover

    I came across it while listening to Danbert Nobacon's solo album on youtube and remembered that you were looking for something like it. There is lots of other little gems of squatter eye candy sprinkled throughout. I hope everything is going well with your takeover.

    official declaration of takeover

    This is from abroad, but you can print it and tweak it a bit to sound more American (get rid of the part referring to a fine in pounds) . It might help discourage an owner or authority figure from infringing on the space you occupy even if the legality it asserts does not apply. It might make...

    FL appreciation post (Stockholm syndrome)

    That is possible. I just joined stp, and I have no idea how serious people are or who is joking and who is not. My only intention of joining was to be helpful. This news story illustrates how messed up Florida is, but also might remind some people how passionate and courageous kids here can be...

    FL appreciation post (Stockholm syndrome)

    Florida has a terrible history of horrible shit. It also has a rich history of resistance to oppression. Just because a place is not winning progressive campaigns doesn't mean it is not worth while to continue to struggle for change there. Oregon and Colorado have very different histories of...

    FL appreciation post (Stockholm syndrome)

    No problem SlankyLanky, and thanks for the warm welcome to stp. I understand not liking a place (particularly the place where one is from) and I understand having a favorite place. These feelings are totally different than the kinda self righteous "my place is better than theirs" sentiments that...

    FL appreciation post (Stockholm syndrome)

    Last time I was Portland Oregon a racist killed two men with a hunting knife on public transportation for standing up to him while he threatened two women of color. Don't fool yourself into thinking them west coast hubs are immune to what ails us down south. You don't see the environmental...

    And yeah I think a book of poetry about all the shit wrong with Florida would be really cool.

    FL appreciation post (Stockholm syndrome)

    When I hear people talk about how one region (or place) is better than another it often sounds like something akin to nationalism. If you ask a nationalist how their place in the world stacks up to some place else they will undoubtedly say something very much along the lines of "the country I am...

    FL appreciation post (Stockholm syndrome)

    When you say "Florida just sucks", does that mean that the place you are does not have the same problems? Is there no problem with racism, poverty, gentrification, or environmental destruction where you are? Does it make you feel a little bit better when you try to quantify how much worse it is...

    Whats u I hangout with wonderful people everywhere I go. Yes, Florida is problematic, but so is a sense of regional supremacy when it undermines the struggles of those outside ones particular radical enclave.

    FL appreciation post (Stockholm syndrome)

    When I hear people talk about how one region is better than another it often sounds like something akin to nationalism. At times being in Florida I long for the days I was somewhere else. I remember times and places where I felt surrounded by radicals not Trump supporters. I have chased those...
