FCI McKean, PA — Anson Chi says he’s a political prisoner dealing with mail censorship, book bans, and misconduct by federal corrections officers. In a letter to Unicorn Riot, Chi provided prison bulletins, prison communications, and letters from his mother as proof of “how the United States government censors anarchists in the federal prison system.”Chi is incarcerated at the medium security Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) McKean in Pennsylvania with a release date of December 20, 2029.“FCI McKean has banned all books, magazines, newspapers, newsletters, zines, pamphlets, etc. for the second time already!” While it sounds drastic, Chi isn’t exaggerating. Last August, the prison announced they would be returning all books, newspapers, and magazines to the sender.

it seems that personal recycling is a much better option, because then you can buy according to the material that is of most re-use for YOU and then YOU do the repair, recycle, reuse process, rather than distribution centers, where who knows what they do with it really ive been traveling for the past year or so and havent been able to store much, but i look forward to the day that i have a place to store and craft with all my own used materials ♡ this is think would be much more affective for communities: local craft shops storing recycled material for free use, a lot of places already do this with their cardboard, and will give it to anyone who asks for it

i have only just now considered that my adhd could be contributing to my binge/restrict eating disorder...wow

that aside, it has been a long time since ive had an binge episode and my greatest tips are:

HYDRATION!!!! -- NOT JUST DRINKING WATER, EAT IT TOO! i find it hard to chug a lot of watwr in a day, so i make sure to eat veggies and fruits and other drinks that have a lot of water in them, wet food satiates in ways dry foods cant

change the order in which you eat certain foods...if you can, during meals, eat greens and veggies first then short chain sugary stuff like fruit, and carbs, then long chain protein...you might find it slows down your eating and fills you up quicker, as well as its main bonus: improving digestion and regulating fat storage

during movies or sitting to wait, busy your hands with something like folding laundry, knitting, a fidget tool, SUDOKU, clip your nails, etc. get creative, planning ahead of time what you might fill your attention with besides a snack

but to be real, the best thing that has helped me from overeating is not to shame myself when it happens, to be kind with my habits and behaviors, not become dogmatic about rules or shoulds/shouldnts and let myself go toward what im allured to more often than not

sometimes our inattentiveness is due to shame and not actual boredom, we are ashamed to be still, to relax, and be content, so sit with your feelings and see if that is true at all for you, then you might be able to implement some things that would communicate to yourself that relaxing is okay in this situation, like soaking your feet while you watch tv, get a handheld massager to use on your legs and arms and body or one of those ones you can set on your seat and back to massage you while you watch, or any other relaxing thing you can think of...

hope this helps someone ♡

love how theyre trying to act like their hard on hateful conduct, fascist signifiers, but those soldiers are actually behaving inline with the military policies rolled out by the government...if canada helps fund and assist genocide, but condemns soldiers doing a nazi salute, that just tells me they are fine with fascist solidarity coming from the top down, but not the bottom up...this is how they try to get away with what theyre doing, act all hard and make examples out of the soldiers to appear against this hate, while their other hand is in nazi cookie jars!
