Hello fellow Occupiers, hows tricks? Check-in thread perhaps?

Everything is hunky dory where I am at.



OK, not really. Wish I could go into more details but everything my community is or was working on, is tied up in detailed negotiations over finding spaces to, well, exist.

There's not a lot of activity in the past three months, it seems?

The people who know what's going on, don't tell, because there's so little involvement in activist stuff right now that it's hard to post news unless you're willing to specify what you yourself are doing IRL. Which most people don't like giving their personal info on a political forum, of course. That is actually more the case because we all post under a handle. So if we didn't commit to post about politics under our name and address, then we committed to say, well, not so much about anything that isn't public info. Of course, Occupy was founded on principles of complete openness. How do you reconcile that with declining participation and an increasingly fascist popular mentality in the nation?

I posted more info on latest news in my neck of the woods, but I thought better of it because what there is to report is not ready for prime time. in the sense that it's not news yet. I wish I could give the rundown but it is a public forum...

Anyone care to check in?

It wasn't such great news anyway. Well, I had good news on the project I'm directly involved in but that's even more IRL. I guess some ponies read it anyhow... before I posted this. Everything else is so-so to not-so-great hereabouts. I wish I could say "Ask Me Anything"...

...but yeah, if you are curious, go ahead and I will try to answer...fortunately I don't think anyone's interested but the media likes to jump all over every setback we experience at Occupy, or so they say.
