I’ve gotten to meet a few people from here irl and they were all awesome, I’d love to meet more of our comrades and I expect there’s a number of us who feel that way. Not would it be cool to hang out but as much as we wish it were posting isn’t praxis however meeting offline makes it much easier to actually accomplish something. My thought was either a sticky thread or new com. People who are down to meet can post their nearest major city and then handle everything else through DMs, that should keep the doxing to a minimum. Anyone else interested in the idea or am I just being dumb?
Honestly not much more. I first requested records about myself and got “no responsive records”, and then remembered to include the boilerplate about cross-references + administrative records + etc and got the blanket denial. So I figure that I’m named in an investigation into somebody else. Maybe they grabbed my email from Pilsen Community Books, which the FBI is/was surveiling over their involvement in pro-abortion and anti-cop-city movements. The Intercept ran an article about it awhile ago. Or maybe some people I know do Cool Shit and have wisely not told me. I filed an appeal so I might find out.
