Intro pinned 👇

Seeking to develop skills for freedom and autonomy. Interested in organizing and community building and learning practical and facilitating skills for use in practice. How can we create situations for non-capitalistic relations and build coalitions to fight climate collapse in a genocidal capitalist dystopia?

I like repairing bikes and stuff, dumpster dive, foss, coops, old thinkpads, solarpunk, low-tech, copyleft.

Love and solidarity
