Valeriano Orobón Fernández, born on this day in 1901, was a Spanish anarcho-syndicalist theoretician, trade union activist, translator, and poet who wrote the lyrics of the revolutionary song “A Las Barricadas”.

Orobón believed in the organizational power of unions, believe that they would have a major role in reorganizing society in a more libertarian fashion. Orobón was also strongly opposed to the communist (i.e., Soviet) ideas in Spain during the Spanish Civil War.

Shortly before his untimely death from tuberculosis, Orobón wrote the words of “A Las Barricadas” to the tune of “Warszawianka 1905 roku”, itself a well-known Polish revolutionary song. The anti-fascist tune became the anthem of the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT), and one of the most popular songs of the Spanish anarchists during the Civil War.

    Accidentally gave someone advice when r/cooking came up on my TruAnnon and Blackwolf feed as recommended. Now I’m getting it all the time. These people are fucking dipshits. Got dudes dry heating pans on max cause a recipe said to get a pan as hot as possible. So many posts about how to use really frequently used ingredients but somehow OP has a restaurant’s years supply. Like ‘what can I do with 500lbs of chicken skin?’

    I have the most sensitive skin and literally every skincare product has made me flakey/oily/break out. Cerave, Vanicream, that other one thats supposed to be great… I feel like niacinamide fucks me up which is in EVERYTHING now… BUT, Aveeno calm+restore seems to be the one. Kinda spendy but worth it, for anyone who has had a terrible time with skincare. Slugging with Vaseline is dope too. This is the only stuff that seems to not irritate my skin and ive tried thousands of dollars worth of products by now.

    Very funny side effect of my new mouse. Its supports 8000hz polling rate (normal mice are 1000hz). When i enable this setting and move my mouse around, my cpu usage bumps up to around 20% lmao.

    1khz will hit around 6%

    interested in how the ‘everyone on this island sucks’ framing I heard through osmosis manifested because to me thus far it just feels like, at least for the children (I do not trust any of the adults enough to make any sort of normative claims on them yet)

    Shannon unleashed Beatrice
    Kanon is Sasuke
    George is a nice-guy trying to marry a woman 2/3rds his age
    Battler sexually harassed his cousin and a maid
    Jessica
    Maria joyously abetted someone killing three people in front of her

    like what the fuck am I going to find out about Jessica. what did this woman do. what’s the deal with her.

    i don’t know how people do that extreme couponing stuff. nevermind that every coupon i’ve ever had is some bullshit like 10 cents off if you buy 16 truckloads of canned slop, every time i try to redeem them it turns into that mr. show sketch where they have to phone up the chain of command. if the regional manager’s gotta personally OK my coupon it’s really not worth it

    Grief, exhaustion, fatigue, confusion, hunger. I’m so overwhelmed I can barely think. I’m too tired to eat, too hungry to sleep.

    Maybe I need to hit the bottom idk

    The thought of making this phone call is genuinely starting to make me space out and feel unwell

    rant

    Why is health like this, a million different fucking doctors for each joint in your body and they all have different rates and none of them communicate, there’s no one person who’s like “oh well all of this is what’s wrong”, it’s up to thd weak and compromised to keep track of themselves. The fact that I have to call to set up something that doctors say I need is, upon reflection, insane. Like if it’s important, why are they waiting for me. Stop letting me avoid.

    I actually kinda wish someone would force me to do this. Like, I’m too obstinent. I want to, but literally can’t.

    And then I try talking to my brother but even though we have all the same shit going on, he gets all weird and distant. Like I told him I was stressed and making dinner, so he just asks what I’m making for dinner. No mention of the fact that I’m stressed. This is the only person I’ve felt comfortable opening up to and it’s like he doesn’t fucking realize how much I trusted him, or that these slights make it even harder to trust him.
