The #USA's racist #history says this 1933 scene in #Michigan is bad

But what's happening is good

A #bank has foreclosed on a #farmer and put their #farm up for #auction. #Neighbors have come to bid penny amounts to win the farm and return it

It was called a #pennyAuction

The nooses are a threat to high bidders. Others roam the crowd with axe handles

#CollectiveAction, #Community, #MutualAid

Against #financial #predation, #corporate #greed

We lost this as a country

Good morning #Fediverse

Let's all talk about our day today and what we all have planned or have already accomplished.

For me, it's the last day of the work week, since tomorrow is a holiday and we're off for four days!

We'll be baking some cookies for us and the neighbors today, and not sure what else other than that. Might attempt to make an apple cobbler.

Tomorrow, we eat! LOTS OF FOOD!

I'm very pleased with myself because I have finally created the neighborhood group chat I have wanted for years: Walk Your Neighbor.

If you need to be walked, you can request company for a walk, or if you are self-motivated to walk, you can let neighbors know you are going for a walk so they can join you.

And I seeded the chat with interested members of my urban gardening group!

It's nice to have good neighbors. Beyond nice. I'm in a state that overall votes Democrat, in a multi-county region that is hardcore Trumpy Republican, in a little college town that is more liberal than conservative. My one-block street has an awful lot of pride flags (and two Trump flags and one Church of Satan flag). Our neighbors had a bonfire. I feel peripheral to that friend group (it's my kid's mom's people), but they are great folks. And they appreciate an Indigo Girls sing-along.
