my boss said he doesn’t personally post here but some others might. and my boss thinks it’s cool that I’m a leftist, he’s one too, apparently, and that a bunch of our coworkers are leftists. some of them might post here?? it’s a finance firm – the last place I’d expect this. how the fuck do they have a positive opinion of this place??

YOU HAVE TO TELL ME IF YOU POST HERE AND WHAT YOUR @ IS. THIS IS SO UNFAIR LEAVING ME ON THE HOOK LIKE THIS. DON’T MAKE ME POST PPB TO THE WORK SLACK AND SEE WHO LAUGHS.

(I use tree style tabs so they can read my tabs when I share my screen – I didn’t hide this place because who the fuck has heard of hexbear)

    A couple weeks ago I was talking to my landlord about how hard it is to find leftist friends, and he got the idea to introduce me to a buddy of his, the one who actually introduced him to Hexbear in the first place. Turns out he’s the police officer who usually handles the evictions here. I’d seen him around, but I had no idea he was actually cool. Dude’s an anarchist and heavily involved with his union, really based. We invited him to get baked and hang out with us and we really hit it off. It’s nice having an anarchist perspective for our theory talk, really fitting given we all use the same left unity website. Not gonna lie, it does get heated at times, and I’m still a bit apprehensive about him showing up to these hangouts in uniform with his service weapon, but I think that’s just me being antsy.
