What a wonderful idea! And got me thinking. I live in a gated community (I’m old, don’t hate me) and many in this place are very conservative paranoid haters who voted for President Orange FF. I don’t want to become like them or spend my days full of hate and range. I think I’ll build off the positive graffiti idea and go with the small rocks painted with positive messages. I can grab a rock, take it home to paint it, and casually drop it on my daily walks.
No real people appreciate that cloying, crybaby nonsense. We just laugh and cringe. Trump is crap but so are all the others. No, creeps don't get to give kids puberty blockers or participate in fantasies as though they are real life.
Oh, I have ideas on the positive anarchy. I came of age in the zine era, when “DIY” wasn’t an overused Hime Depot slogan but a punk attitude to Do It Yourself rather than whine about how someone else needed to do it for us. It’s the perfect anti-hipster attitude, and one I’m gladly re-embracing in the following year.
Love all of these, with the possible exception of glitter bombing because I'm still vacuuming up the sparklies from Christmas and I'm about to start sprinkling the rug with acyclovir.
Under your wise advisement and having laughed, cried and peed at your words, I am hugging everyone who looks at me, dancing in the elevator while playing my music loudly and getting some eyes to paste in strange places.
Hate glitter, so won't do that, even for the promise of someone liking it. See you at 6:00.
Already doin it. playing Billie Eilish Bad Guy on the elevator and woman's knees started to move and she was swaying back and forth and trying not to. Then I got the googly eyes in the mail. The 2 people at the front desk were laughing as I pasted
I personally favor standing in the middle of a sidewalk or dancing along it and singing "Lullaby of Broadway," "On the Street Where You Live" or "On Broadway" at the top of your lungs, a cappella. People will give you funny looks, but some of them might join along. Who knows?
Some friends and I started singing a show tune in an elevator at the top floor of a building (in harmony, because theater kids). About halfway down, it opened to some middle-aged guys who said "We'll get the next one..."
I've started dancing waiting in grocery lines, swaying at bus stops and doing the old school 2-step in government buildings. I'm adding to my repertoire - hugging every bored security guard I see (most are).
I have the original and remix of Anarchist Cookbook, then again if it's a banned book, likely I have a copy.
Thanks for more ideas to feed my crazy. There's 140 hours of music in my stash.
"Kill 'em with kindness," has always been one of my mottoes. It highlights dickish behaviour and makes 'em want to crawl under a rock, heh heh. Which you can then put googly eyes on!
Loved this, Robin, thank you for the reminder to always look on the bright side!
I'd definitely go with the "pay someone else" method if glitter bombing.
I mean we could all send glitter bombs to 1600 Penn in DC, there's nothing in them that would trigger the sniffers and imagine the awesomeness if Herr Groppenführer was walking past on the way to harangue a camera as one was being opened...
I love dancing to music only I can hear! And sometimes, if I give evidence of a real strong beat, by moving my shoulder up and down or something, someone standing near by will almost unconsciously join in!😂
I have to make sure not to mix up anarchist William Powell with the Hollywood film star of that name from the '30s and '40s who was more likely to play detectives than anarchists.

Maintain the resistance, people!!
Love the rock idea!! I've come across a couple of those before and they bring such joy to my day.
Viva la resistance!!
We are with you. Go get em.
Let's all be like Bishop Budde. At every rally he can't resist, folks show up and be Budde at him.
Be Budde. New phrase for the resistance. Love it!
Perfect! Make it a hashtag — and every time you see "Be Best," answer #BeBudde!
Love it!!
Go forth and make it trend! #BeBudde

Ooh anti-hipster attitude, love it Paul!

😆😆 omg the acyclovir comment sent me. Nicely played. And about the glitter...fair hehe
I am honored to have given you a giggle, Ms. Wilding.

And thanks for coming to the live! :)
Had to leave early...dinner,laundry,
phone call. Liked the theme.
😆😆 I love the havoc you're about to wreak Linda.

googly eyes on them and did a little movement to
Bad Guy. A Day in the life 💃
Pillows from the time of Obama? I think my partner has pillows from the time of Nixon… the newer ones at least!
😆😆 Is there even a feather left in them at that point
I don’t think they are feather… chunks of rubber maybe…

Some people just don't know how to have fun! LOL!
Or one of my favorite songs to sing, “Animal Crackers in my Soup”!

People who love to watch old movies will recognize that one!

Look out world, crazy cat lady on the loose!😂😂👏👏😎
😆😆😆 Sounds amazing Danielle.
And kudos on the banned books! Keep that shiznit up too! :)
Wonderful ideas. It gives me something to focus on. Googlie eyes are good 👀 .
Thanks Joseph. Googlie eyes are the best. :)
Cool ideas (I love glitter!)! Does the Canadian graffiti need to be in English and French? ;)
😆😆 Fortunately street art is too 'street' to conform to language laws.

haha 'then put googly eyes on'. I love that.
And glad you liked it, we need more bright side right now. :)
Kind of year where we need more gonzo! Wish that Hunter S. Thompson was still around.
Absolutely, Gonzo for 2025. I think we all wish Hunter was still around, sigh.
Onward and Upwards 💥💯👍
Exactly :)

😆 That would be hilarious to watch someone join in without even realizing it.
Always makes me smile!

I'm not sure who that detective one was, but yes, don't mix them up hehe
