I never did personally, can't speak for anyone else. we were working on making legislators (who had been bought off the corporations polluting these communities) give a shit about the ways their constituents were being affected by pollution the whole time I worked there
well, if they really are trying to torture you...
another of my million previous jobs was as a paid canvasser! AMA.
overview that might answer basic questions: I did door-to-door for a lib environmental org back in the early 00s. we worked on local issues and would encourage residents to sign petitions, ask them to rewrite a model letter of concern in their own words (which I would collect at the the of the evening as I walked back through the neighborhood to my dropoff/pickup point), and ask them to contribute financially. my salary was directly tied to my fundraising numbers. everybody at every level of the org did fundraising – the bulk of the org's money came from the grant-writing and glad-handing that office- and regional managers would do.
edit: we also did community volunteer work related to the issues each region was working on. one of the activities I participated in was cleaning the gutters of people living near an industrial facility, so we could have the stuff we pulled out tested to see if it was the same deadly shit coming out of the company's smokestacks. (it was.) I still remember it very vividly – mixed in with the usual leaf litter and whatnot was a copious amount of silvery-grey particulate matter. I think part of the goal was getting proof for the class-action lawsuit some of the residents were trying to do too? idk, I'll try to remember enough details to dig up a news article or press release or something.
Im just a nerd for filling in bubbles
!!! this is a type of nerd?!? MY PEOPLE
haven't had to take a standardized test in a very long time, and I miss the bubbles so much. I love trying to make them a perfectly uniform, perfectly shiny, perfectly circular little dot of graphite.
I bet I could probably find some of the little scantron answer pages online just to fill in for fun 🤔
I know the horror and anguish I feel reading this and seeing his beautiful face forever stilled is only a tiny fragment of what you feel every day, and it is overwhelming and awful.
I am so sorry for your loss. He had a gorgeous smile, and I'm heartbroken you will never see it again. 😭
