Coffee With StrangersBy Elsie GilmoreDecember 7, 2020

Don't be a douche

We’re all in this together, so don’t be a douche

Coffee With StrangersBy Elsie GilmoreApril 27, 2020

I just attended one of the most amazing musical performances I have ever witnessed. It was The Indigo Girls playing with a full orchestra on the stage of the Mahaffey Theater here in St. Petersburg, Florida. Every song was a dramatic journey from start to finish. It was enchanting, and I was mesmerized.

Taking social risks

Coffee With StrangersBy Elsie GilmoreApril 21, 2020

Many things I do are cause for great consternation among my family members. For example: going to Europe by myself for several months, voluntarily giving up owning a car for several years, and online dating.

I’m that weird neighbor

Coffee With StrangersBy Elsie GilmoreMarch 5, 2020

I live in a two-story building that contains 19 studio apartments ranging from 200-400 square feet. The majority of the tenants are very young, lured by the inexpensive rent and proximity to downtown.

Today's escape from capitalism into nature. Not as Today's escape from capitalism into nature. Not as much wildlife as my other paddles, but we did see many pelicans and glimpses of a manatee.Take time to spend in nature. It's calming and grounds us. Nature is real life. Computers, smartphones, AI, and the stock market are things we made up. The world would be fine without them. Pelicans would still exist.#naturegirl🌻 #naturegirl #nature #gooutsideandplay #outdoorsgirl #outdoors #kayaking #kayakingadventures #paddling #kayaking #kayakadventures #fightcapitalism
The existence of billionaires and their level of c The existence of billionaires and their level of control over our lives and our government is detrimental to everyone on the planet.There are no good billionaires. They are all driven by profit motive above all else... otherwise they wouldn't be billionaires.We need to give billionaires less of our money, support small businesses when possible, and demand our government stop making laws for billionaires that hurt everyone else (because they take money away from programs for our working class and most vulnerable citizens). Why are billionaires allowed to pay starvation wages in the richest country in the world? Our government's priorities are messed up. We need to fight back.#capitalism #capitalismkills #defundbillionaires #billionaires
This is my cat's new catnip toy (made by @feliniou This is my cat's new catnip toy (made by @felinious_).Capitalism and fascism are directly related. When you let capitalism run out of control (like we have), fascism grows (like it has and is).We will never tame fascism until we tame capitalism. Period. It's not possible.We need to relentlessly oppose any deregulation of businesses and relentlessly elect people who will keep the fire on billionaires by taxing and regulating them. One way or another, we need to overturn Citizens Union and put capitalism back in its place.#citizensunited #capitalism #fascism #antifa #antifascist @felinious_
Check out my recent interview with @mrbizsolutions Check out my recent interview with @mrbizsolutions about capitalism!I appreciate this thoughtful discussion, where we can see that even self-declared pro-capitalists think capitalism has gone too far.You can find the link in my bio or comment INTERVIEW, and I'll send you the link.#capitalism #capitalist
Yesterday, it was manatees and monkeys followed by Yesterday, it was manatees and monkeys followed by a gorgeous sunset.There is nothing quite like kayaking in Florida. I'm soaking it in as I plan to leave the area in around six months.But also, I've not been making nature a priority, and I must never forget to do that.Capitalism wants to keep us consuming instead of enjoying. We must always fight that.#floridakayaking #kayaking #kayakingadventures #silverspringsstatepark #monkeys #manatees #anticapitalist #naturegirl🌻 #naturelover❤️ #naturegirl #naturelovers
The farmers market is love.I heard a mother tel The farmers market is love.I heard a mother telling her teenage daughters not to talk to anyone at the farmers market or pet any dogs because people use dogs to abduct children.Don't teach your daughters to be afraid of people. It actually makes them more vulnerable. Not only do predators home in on fear, but your kid might need a kind stranger someday and be too scared to speak to them. Instead, teach them assertiveness and common sense. Tell them never to leave an area with a stranger or get in their car. Make sure they know how to call 911. Send them into the world with the idea that most people are good. Teaching them to live in fear is not healthy.Teach your kids to have situational awareness so they can talk to strangers and pet dogs with the confidence that they know how to take care of themselves if the unexpected happens.Fear is one of the things that tears this country apart. Don't pass it on to your kids.#farmersmarket #selfconfidence❤️ #streetsmarts  #fear #daughters
