Anyone can self-identify as "a leftist" in online spaces.
You're not going to get honest conversations with "anti-idpol" people who use class solidarity solely as a rhetorical weapon against intersectional concerns.
since again we are forced to guess at what construes "misuse" of the labeler among many, maybe people who noticed (via auto-label) the COO advocating for the Heritage Foundation?
obviously this is an easy mistake to make and all of us publicly follow reactionary groups, for reasons
kept seeing that guy show up in RTs with odd takes and finding the sleaziest ways to frame "we should tax people for not birthing" and framing anyone questioning as "antinatalist" was enough from that creep.

Suspension of accts from Bluesky has called into question the mission and very existence of Blacksky. "If bsky can still suspend you, what's the point?"

Optional but decent if your jam- boiling the skinned garlic alongside the potatoes, the garlic is properly cooked (tastes milder) and toasts up fine in oil with the bake.
1) Homemade hash pucks- baking potatoes long enough, overnight in the fridge for starch to crystallize juuust right. Peel skin and shred with potato starch / flour to bind, heat oiled small cast iron pans high and cook not too low for it to get oily and low enough that it doesn't burn.
Oh yeah, I went through the process and nearly did, and know decent people who got out and appreciate their perspective.
Having opportunities, targeted training and a foothold would be all the more vital in a time of unstability and stratification between "good families" and mobility for the rest
