The Yesterweb community: https://yesterweb.org/
In my own words, the Yesterweb is a collective celebration and reminiscence of the good parts of what the internet once was. There's probably a more eloquent way to write that, but that's why I always insist that I'm not a writer. (I'm an editor and you will respect the difference!!!!!1!!one) I think the best part of the Yesterweb is its focus on how we, as participants, users, online denizens, etc. can improve the internet in a democratic way. The internet belongs to everyone. It's also worth mentioning that I wouldn't have bothered leaving Tumblr if it wasn't for accidentally finding Yesterweb in the middle of 2022. I don't agree with everything the Yesterweb focuses on because I don't generally like "nostalgia" as an aesthetic. But I'm glad I found it because it gave me a renewed sense of hope for the future of the internet. Every movement needs to have a utopian fantasy, however tangible that may be. I think most of Yesterweb's ideas are worth reading about for yourself, especially when it leads to subcultures like permacomputing, which is about slowing down or eliminating this silly cycle of replacing obsolete tech every few years.
Jacobin: https://jacobin.com/
After finishing college, I had become politically apathetic and had a very nihilistic outlook on life. Jacobin's articles, their videos on [evil video streaming giant], along with their podcast episodes on [evil Swedish audio streaming giant] helped me understand the world a lot better. Nowadays, I ruminate a lot less and avoid cathecting over trivial things.
Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee: https://workerorganizing.org
If you want to form a union with your coworkers but don't know where to start, try EWOC. Their Organizing Guide is simple to understand and there are plenty of other resources, from printables to guides. I mostly read books and theory, which doesn't go very far in actual labour settings, but EWOC's materials could get you and your coworkers real material improvements like better wages, benefits, and working conditions. Workplaces once considered impossible to organize, like Starbucks and Amazon, had some of their workplaces successfully form their company's first unions, and all of this happened within the past few years.
"Dark mode" theme for Jacobin https://userstyles.world/style/3061/jacobin-night
This either makes me look way more competent at CSS than I actually am, or exposes me as a total amateur to anyone who has a modicum of coding ability. Still, it's free (forever), so if you like reading Jacobin articles as much as I do, give this a try. I also wrote a similar theme for Canadian Dimension, a magazine which mostly covers current events related to Canada. Alternatively, there are a few "universal" dark mode plugins which achieve a similar effect: make white backgrounds dark and black text light. I started using Dark Reader for Firefox around the end of 2022 and never looked back, but I keep an exceptions list which includes sites with built-in dark modes or custom themes I previously downloaded.
