We all know that the Communists Have the Music, but there's a problem that I don't believe is talked about enough. It's an unfortunate reality that music meant to carry leftist messages are not mainstream and therefore hard to find if you don't know where to look. I also have a vast collection of music I think should be shared far and wide. This has led me to create !leftymusic@lemmy.world so these songs can be more readily found and shared. Come by and share some songs you know!

Ok so I got this idea not while showering, but because I'm very high. The story does come from my bathroom though! I have a night light in my bathroom, and I was looking at the night light as I turned off the bathroom light. I'm a big nerd so I remembered that the things that detect light levels are actually diodes wired in reverse. I thought it would be funny to make it flicker by reflecting the light back on the diode, but it didn't work. That's when I had this realization

I like to think that I'm a very knowledgeable organizer, so if folks want some advice ask me in the comments!

I'm a mod of !leftism@lemmy.world, and the last resort preemptive defederation from hexbear has me concerned. As a mod, what are the specific rules that I need to know about to make sure our community fits the guidelines of LemmyWorld? We aren't a huge community and there aren't a huge number of posts every day, but I want to see this community grow and thrive. I can't do that without knowing the guidelines hexbear violated to warrant defederation. We're focused on left unity, so I need to know what we can't allow.

I'm working on family planning with my partner, and we want to have children within the next couple years. While I'm definitely an anarchist, I'm not a 'studied' anarchist and don't know as much as I'd like about the political theory. I watched a video from Andrewism on the topic, which made me think about this topic. I largely agree with his assessment, and want to raise my children without a hierarchy because I believe that it's the best method of raising children. The problem is that I don't really know how to go about it or how to bring it up to my partner. Obviously there isn't a 'right' way to do it because each child is their own person and I'd need to balance that with the responsibility of being the parent, but I'd love to know some guidance from other anarchist parents.

I'm firmly on the side of "water is not wet" in this debate, but it's a question that I was asked while I was high and have no answer to it. Water cannot itself be wet because you can't get water on water. However, what is a fish in a lake? It can't be wet until it's taken out of the water, but it's not dry either. Is it something else?
