Semi-related: if you haven't tried it, you may want to consider coffee from the Zapatistas, which is probably some of the most ethical coffee you can get.

Adding onto his recommendation to join or create unions:

Unionizing your workplace brings almost immediate benefits to you and your co-workers (a living wage, benefits, more time off), it also lets us fight back against the regime with an effective general strike, just as it worked in 1886 (they wouldn't have fought us so hard back then if it didn't).

Below are some resources to Unions from around the world who can help train you to become an organizer and form a grassroots union with your co-workers:

Laws obv vary by country, but in the US, a corporation is legally required to recognize and bargain with a union if over 30% of their employees choose to unionize.

Publicily advocate their base join grassroots and decentralized movements that enact direct action since the courts and political system are completely captured by fascists and time is of the essence?

Seems like that'd be a bit more useful than what they're doing now, which is effectively nothing.

Steam workshop mods work across all OS's, AFAIK.

Outside of that, I believe you can run the Windows Nexus Mod Manager in WINE. Otherwise, your best bet is this new Linux native mod organizer, which will add more game compatibility as time goes on.

  • Plaid patterns kinda look like a city street grid.

  • Plaid clothing/flannels is often worn by and associated with people who would buy organic, or are 'earthy' (see: Vermont Flannel)

  • This interesting thread.

Potential cons:

Could be confused with the Plaid Bank Linking App.
