Did you make something? Do you want the fleeting rush of endorphins that come with affirmation from strangers? Do you think what you made is neat? Share it here!

Paintings, movies, music, drawings, models, gardens, houses, snowmen, sandcastles - if you made it, you can post it.

RULES:

AI-generated content is banned in all forms.

Some things you make are not to be shared. These include:

- No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, classism, or bigotry of any kind.

- Don't try to sell stuff unless people ask. You can post your Etsy (or similar) if someone prompts you. No spamming self-promotion.

Made some simple last minute signs with a friend for the "No Kings" protest :) (lemmy.zip)

Had a really good time, I'm really glad we made signs :)

I'm not awake during the day generally so I'm kinda thinking now, maybe a way I can contribute is making signs for people to pass out or give away as a way I can contribute

There were people out handing out cookies and donuts which was pretty cool too :)

Studies show protests do make a difference, eg. https://www.asanet.org/for-press/press-releases/do-protests-matter-new-study-examines-how-protests-bring-about-change/

Yeah, up to a certain point in time when autocrats realised that they don’t have to do shit and wait them out.

I'll tell you what really doesn't help - naysaying

I’d rather have people learn from failures of the others rather than repeat them.

If you have some lessons, share them, don't just say "don't try"

I don’t have answers you’re looking for. Christian fundamentalists refined their playbook to perfection in Europe by now. We’re so fucked that I became an accelerationist. Liberals seem unable to learn anything and keep banging their heads because they won’t do anything that would upset business. Going to those marches is just further enabling them. Maybe you’ll get further if you skip futile steps.

Don’t need to know how to swim to tell someone’s drowning.
