We need casual company and a chance to express ourselves. Invite some friends over for a night of anyone-can-do it art and snacks. Provide everything yourself, or go potluck: have folks bring something for the charcuterie tray, a bottle of wine, or a couple of old magazines to cut up. For a holiday twist, collage cards!

Public libraries are one of our most important resources in fighting fascism and creating a healthy democracy. They don’t just have books, classes, computers and more — they’re also one of the only places people can spend time without spending money.
Get a library card, and find an event or check out an audiobook — libraries are amazing!

Create tiny afternoon pick-me-ups to brighten someone’s day, and “spill the tea” on your favorite form of resistance. Create a ‘zine with a list of local businesses engaged in mutual aid, or spread the word about an action (Whistles?) or a resource like this web site. Write little encouraging notes and tuck them into packs of afternoon joy.
Afternoon tea is a luxury not everyone can afford right now. Spreading joy is resistance!
Buy tickets for yourself (and a friend?) and attend a local entertainment event, especially if it’s a benefit for a cause you value! Musicians, spoken word poets, theater—joy is resistance!
Choose venues and artists who live in your region, and spend what you can to bolster the local community. The economic downturns hit artists hard.
If you live in an area where a lot of neighbors are struggling — maybe you’re struggling — a baked potato potluck is an easy way to build community. If your neighbors are doing well, it’s a simple way to throw a party — pair it with a fundraiser or resistance-building activity.
It’s simple: bake enough potatoes for everyone and ask each guest to bring one topping. It’s one of the simplest ways to have a hearty meal with low cost and effort.
