"There's no greys, only white that's got grubby. I'm surprised you don't know that. And sin, young man, is when you treat people as things. Including yourself. That's what sin is." "It's a lot more complicated than that" "No. It ain't. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they're getting worried that they won't like the truth. People as things, that's where it starts." "Oh, I'm sure there are worse crimes-" "But they starts with thinking about people as things." -Terry Pratchett, Carpe Jugulum (Discworld, #23; Witches, #6)

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

seems like every week just displays more and more why we need a societal reset, doesn't it

Ahead of midterms, climate policy has become a wedge issue splitting Democrats. After last week's electoral victories, some Democrats will only talk about expanding clean energy through lens of affordability. Others believe talking about climate change will win voters. www.eenews.net/articles/ret...

Google AI is like an Eric Adams quote generator
Al Overview Men in New York have done countless things throughout history, from building the city to participating in major events like the Stonewall riots and the September 11 attacks. Their actions have ranged from daily life and economic hardship during the Great Depression to playing significant roles in the city's political and social landscape, such as the assassination of Malcolm X or the fight for LGBTQ+ rights.

The tldr of this was in October I got notice to move very last minute, made a mutual aid post and it didn't meet the goal. But the need didn't go away. The goal is 100/1000 reposts appreciated.

please help Sahar and Odai and her family if you can 🖤 🫶

We’re struggling so much today. Odai’s medicine is running out, and we have nothing left for food or daily needs. 💔
Even $200 could help us get his treatment and some food to make it through the day.
Your support means warmth, hope, and life for us. 🙏

Al Jazeera: "Child among killed as Israeli air raids, drones target Gaza."

Life is treacherous for the displaced, hungry civilians in Gaza. They need us now as much as ever.

Please give to my friend Tasneem so she can feed her children and raise funds to flee. And others. 💕

An image of Tasneem and her children with the words: "I'm Tasneem, a mother of three children. I used to live a simple life, full of love despite its simplicity - but everything changed on October 7. Our home was completely destroyed, we've been displaced more than 15 times, and now we live in daily hell. My only dream is to secure a safe life for my children outside of Gaza. Any support - even just €5 - could change their future and give them a sense of safety. Help us build a new hope for them. ❤️"

Screenshot of text that reads: I'm a single disabled mom of four. I have uterine fibroids that causes excessive bleeding and fatigue, POTs and PTSD from Covid turning into long covid and causing my health problems. I was working two jobs prior to not working until it caught up to me and I ended up in the ER with a heart rate that wouldn't slow down until I had to take medication. I have been trying to get on disability since. A year later I started to caretake for my disabled child by myself as well. I had help previously but it wasn't working out and l've had to do a lot of it on my own, now I'm stuck in a situation where working isn't possible for my health and while I'm already caretaking for my disabled child that needs constant care. I did not ever envision this happening to me and have always worked hard to take care of my family but now I'm in what feels like an impossible situation trying my best to take care of my kids and myself so I can stay around for them as long as possible. Im not enjoying coming online asking for help but I have no where else to turn. I'm doing Screenshot of text that reads: have no where else to turn. I'm doing everything I can to get help but it's not enough to survive off of. I'm sadly the only responsible parent and have limited family that all live too far to help. I live in California which is a bit expensive but with the state of America right now I'm trying to stay where my trans child and disabled child are the safest. Any help is appreciated and keeps my kids and I surviving while waiting on disability or other options I'm pursuing to happen. I don't know what the future holds but as a mother I'm doing everything I can to keep my family together, healthy and happy. Even if it means coming online and begging for that help. Thank you if you read. Please boost if you're able. The chances someone who can help sees my post greatly increases with more eyes. Lots of love

democratic capitulation strikes again

there are no friends among the politicians

only obstacles, enemies to be seen

they prove what matters and does not to them with every utterance from their lips, every action taken with their bodies

it is not us that matters, it never is

wake up, and See 👁️👁️

Digital Drawing. A large dicynodont (Ischigualastia) is knelt on the ground, struggling to lift itself up with its forelimbs. A gash is visible on its thigh. Three small dinosaurs (Eodromaeus) observe from nearby. The sky is a pale blue - the sun has already moved below the horizon.
