Alternatively, anybody know what the situation is like for disabled people in China? Resources for that would be good to read, too.

Context: I got it in my head that I really REALLY wanted a doorbell. I have light switches by my frontdoor (shown in image), and a porch light directly opposite them. Because of the placement of the porch light relative to the light switch, and some tapping on the wall, I could tell that the space above the switch was hollow, and I assumed that my electric lines passed through that way. I have a doorbell transformer that I need to install - I figured I would open up a space to the left of the switches for a box where I would install the transformer. Well, I started cutting out the drywall when I discovered that nope - that's where my electric lines are (I damaged the jacketing on the cables, but I should be able to fix that with some ~~shrinkwrap~~ heatshrink jacketing, I think). So I broke open the hollow space, found that once upon a time, there were electric lines there, but they've long since been cut. So, at the least I now know where I will install the transformer, and should otherwise be able to get this doorbell installed. My question: After I've finished the install, I don't know how to close up these holes I've made - or more specifically, I'm not sure what product is right for the job? I imagine some sort of plaster? Or mortar?

RE: [Episode 164: The Sultana Disaster](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KujxqUiKKQ&t=1737s) Y'all, why take the time to shit on Venezuela's election? Why swallow the white western pill every single time? I thought they were smarter than this. I feel like every episode they get shittier, and have been for years.

Installed an IPS LCD screen and an enhanced audio amp mod. (The audio mod was mostly to bypass a capacitor on the audio circuit that had gone bad)

Wanted to share this video from a small Marxist channel. I think it's a pretty good overview look at some details of the history of China, which might be easy to overlook, and the program that the CPC follows today, in a format that is easily digestable.

I don't exactly know how to describe in well defined terms what I've been feeling, but I want to get something out of myself, and I'm curious if others can relate or not. I've been seeking community for a long time in my life, it's one of the biggest holes in my self-essence. Connection with persons, or people is like, the thing I want most in life. I mourn its absence more than anything else. But, when I try to pursue a community, and get closer to a group of people, I experience the opposite. I only feel more isolated, further disconnected, more alone. Earlier this year, I started doing work with a local revolutionary party, in part because I believe it's necessary and vital work, but also in large part because I feel like, if I'm going to find community, it's going to be with people who share common values and principals with me. I've been trying so hard to be a good member, but the more months that pass, the more alien I feel. I also feel a tremendous fear of letting these people down, or being unable to meet a task. Usually during meetings I feel invisible, or when I'm not completely invisible, I feel like they must see me as incompetent or useless, just taking up space. I don't at all mean to suggest that this is the group's fault, though - I've felt this way in any community I've tried to become part of. There is something in me that I don't know how to fix that renders me unable to be a viable group member. Does anybody else experience this?

Can anybody make any book recommendations? Additionally, if any of Norman Finkelstein's books are on the subject of the origin, I would like to read something of his, but his book titles are kind of difficult to intuit what their specific subjects are.

Has anybody else coined the term CINO yet? If not, I'm coining it now. > Expelled its radical members > Celebrated the collapse of the Soviet Union > Claims that China is 'repressive' toward Hong Kong and Taiwan Smells like bacon to me
