Brainstorming Request! - I need help coming up with a name.
So some solarpunks and anarchists and mutual aid folks and food folks are coming together in my town and we need a group name.
Two constraints:
It needs to be: FXBG <something>
FXBG is the local town branding for Fredericksburg. So we have FXBG Hackers, FXBG Solarpunks, FXBG Winery, FXBG Arsonists, FXBG... well you get the idea.
The other is we want it do be food related. Mutual aid related. Sort of thing. So something that encapsulates food security, free fridges, food rescue / gleaning. Buuuut... its not the only mutual aid group in town, so it can't be too overarching. Like no FXBG Mutual Aid or similar.
What are your (and I mean you... the one who read all the way to the bottom of this post) thoughts?
"FXBG Free Fridge & Food Rescue" is too much of a mouthful.
"FXBG Food" is too generic
"FXBG Gleaners" isn't specific enough
"FXBG Food Rescue" doesn't include the free fridges.
I need help!!!!

Mass resignation of the editorial board of the Journal of Human #Evolution. #Elsevier has gone bad. Very bad, in fact.
anti-transmasculinity and me / 🧵
There's the label on the tin: transmasculine non-binary. Which some folks read as "man."
Then there's the reality of my appearance: short, large breasted, delicate skin. 99.9% of people read me as "woman."
And then there's fedi.
"Transmisogyny exempt" doesn't exist except in hyper online circles. And y'all who think it does need to go touch some fucking grass.
All trans people are subject to transmisogyny. Transmisogyny is an intersectional marginalization.

zionists–and antisemites who pretend to be antizionists–want to flatten 3000 years of history and culture into a less than 200 year old political movement.
I truly believe one day the State of Israel will fall, Palestine will be free, and the majority of Jews will again be non-zionists, just like before the State of Israel existed, it will be reduced back to a fringe nationalist element.
the State of Israel will be a dark chapter in our long history, to which we will say–never again. and we will make our promised land wherever we choose to dwell on this Earth, or off it. and Jews who live in Palestine will do so as neighbors and not as an occupying army, just as it was for thousands of years.
