Hey, space cadets, your boss’s goal is to squeeze as much productivity after you as possible, and your bonuses and accolades and such are just breadcrumbs they lay down to keep your working for less than you’re worth.

The Earthern Solar Cooker is a large parabolicly shaped hole in the ground lined with reflective materials such as salvaged pieces of broken mirrors or reflective can lids.

Protesting and taking action involves necessary risks, including at times the risk of arrest. When we decide to take action against the state, we accept that that might have unpleasant consequences, or life-changing consequences. But we limit those consequences when we can.
Which is why activists prepare, meet without phones, encrypt their online communication, wear masks and gloves, organize a legal team, organize jail support, make sure every activist knows not to talk to police, etc etc.

Think before you choose a form of ‘civil disobedience’ that involves the certainty of arrest. That is not your only option and organizations that tell you that this is how activism must be are lying to you. There are more effective ways to resist and people that can help you do it. You can disrupt the system with a good chance of getting away with it.
