Today our volunteers made sure some of our unhoused neighbors didn't go to bed hungry w/100 servings chicken/pork fried rice, grapes, water, blankets, & harm reduction supplies!

We rely on donations to feed people

But if the neoliberals stop screaming that fascists are just ordinary citizens with good ideas that need to be valued how else can the virtue signal to their donors in the wealth class?

all i know is that normalizing debate with fascists has only facilitated the rise of fascism.

Searching for an OEM car part that has been discontinued, finally find an OEM replacement for the discontinued part, only to find it is also discontinued... but there's one (1) on the east coast for sale on eBay!... it's how much?! Fine. Purchased!... Seller then informs me they can't find it... FML

fascist will be fascist regardless of how protesters behave, I don't understand why people think that they have to appease the sense of decorum of people who want to kill us.

Chemical weapons defense

how to stay safe from tear gas, mace, and pepper spray:

Chemical Weapons Defense

You are awesome and you deserve to be taken care
of. Cops shouldn’t attack you because you disagree with
the way our government is run. You deserve better.
Sometimes cops do attack us, and the best help we have is
each other. Medics are here to spread love, prevent
burnout, and generally try to make things more pleasant
while we fight the good fight.
THE #1 WEAPON OF THE POLICE IS FEAR: Once
you control that, pepper spray and other police tactics
tend to be easily manageable.
Exposure to chemical weapons is not the worst
thing that can happen to you. The hype and fear
surrounding them is enormous, but in reality, if you are
prepared and smart, they shouldn’t faze you.
PAIN IS TEMPORARY AND WE ARE STRONG:
There are many myths about treatment and
prevention of chemical weapons exposure. Much of this
misinformation is potentially dangerous. Some of it, if
applied, could greatly increase or prolong a person’s
reaction to exposure, or at the very least provide a false
sense of security. We only use treatment that has been
tested and established by the medic community as safe. If
you are unsure about something, we recommend sticking
to clean potable water.

Action Preparation
Do
• Wear long sleeves and water- or alcohol-based
sunscreen.
• Have goggles or other eye protection from chemical
weapons.
• Carry a bandana, cloth, or other mask to put over your
mouth and nose if police start using chemical weapons.
Bring a second to wear if the first gets contaminated.
Don’t
• Don’t wear tampons – if arrested, you may not have a
chance to change it.
• Don’t put mineral oil, oil-based sunscreen, paint,
moisturizer, or make-up on skin as they can trap
chemicals.
• Don’t wear contact lenses, because irritating chemicals
can get trapped underneath them.
• Don’t wear things which can be easily grabbed (i.e.
dangly earrings or other jewelry, ties, loose hair).
• Don’t go to the demo alone, if you can help it – go with
an affinity group or some friends who know you well.
What can I carry to help take care of myself?
Water!! Enough for yourself and your friends. Energy
snacks, inhaler, epipen, insulin, or anything else you need for
regular or emergency health care. If needed, a few days of
prescription mediation and a doctor’s note in case of arrest.
BE CALM and FOCUSED when things get most intense.
Watch for signs of physical and mental problems in yourself
and others. Spread calm to those arround you at the demo.
Panic is dangerous for everyone.
BEWARE OF RUMORS: They are often false, and spread fear.
Deal with the known truth.

maybe they are scumfuck fascists who value loyalty over competence, so the people making decisions are dumb as hell

Twisted Copper @twistedcopper.bsky.social · 3d

maybe it's a feint & they actually want to invade California

Twisted Copper @twistedcopper.bsky.social · 4d

National Guard troops temporarily blocked from deploying to Portland, judge rules

While the U.S. president is entitled to a great level of deference, the judge wrote, “a great level of deference” is not equivalent to ignoring the facts on the ground.”

I bought it in 2010 & have been trying to keep it on the road for as long as possible

i found an OEM replacement part on ebay, but it doesn't look exactly the same. mine looks like it has 3 wire connects instead of 6, but the pic was taken at a slight angle

that pic found in google lens matches mine exactly & i can see that it has 6 connects like the OEM replacement

thx this helped

One of the first things I did was post in multiple Subaru subreddits

Twisted Copper @twistedcopper.bsky.social · 4d

I'll keep it in mind. It may come to that

Twisted Copper @twistedcopper.bsky.social · 4d

Yeah, but I don't have the time, tools, or knowledge necessary for searching scrap yards on the other side of the state 😔

Sadly there aren't many desert junkyards in the Portland metro area

I know those exist, just haven't found the right one yet

Twisted Copper @twistedcopper.bsky.social · 5d

I already put that information in the second post of thread

Twisted Copper @twistedcopper.bsky.social · 5d

my mechanic tried that already - no luck locally

Twisted Copper @twistedcopper.bsky.social · 5d

Haven't had any luck there so far

Unless I am able to find this part somewhere/somehow... I will cease to own a functional vehicle

So if anybody out there happens to know where one might be able to procure a rare fuel pump control unit (AKA revolution sensor) for an '82 Subaru Brat GL, please let me know

Two Sundays ago my beloved Bratmobile sputtered & died while I was driving & it hasn't started since. I learned today that in order to get it back on the road, there's a crucial part that needs to be replaced, but my mechanic was unable to find one - it's been discontinued
