Ursula is all prairie prairie prairie here but these grasses are indigenous to much of North America and there are so many more native perennial grasses that will ALSO grow these huge root systems! STOP PLANTING INVASIVE EURASIAN GRASSES stop having lawns rewild every inch of your property
There’s a famous chart from the Conservation Research Institute, which demonstrates this. GAZE UPON THESE ROOTS, YE MIGHTY AND DESPAIR.

Further evidence that widespread covid vaccination is better for everybody.
A study on 1.7 million people in Hong Kong shows superior hybrid immunity to Covid in people who got vaccinated before infection vs. people who got infected first. "Our findings are a direct rebuttal to arguments for natural immunity," the authors write. doi.org/10.1016/j.va...

Birthright citizenship is not a magical right conferred only in the US. 33 nations have birthright citizenship on the books and another 40 have restricted versions of birthright citizenship. It is not in any way controversial unless you are a frothing fascist.

Americans need to be told they do not want to live in a version of the US in which they have to be the right kind of American to be treated equally, or without malice.

I feel like Commander Adama warning people he won't have a network on the Galactica when I tell my family that under no circumstances will I allow a smart device into my house. No internet connected doorbells, washing machines, air fryers, lightbulbs. None. Not during my watch.

They want to escape from regulation and ‘failing’ democracy — but are they more opportunistic than libertarian?

This is true, three of my best friends I met This way (more or less)
you know how when you were a little kid you could go up to people and be like, “you, girl with the pink ponytail, do you want to be friends?” and then you were friends?
you can also do that as a grownup; they don’t want you to know this, but people hardly ever say no

I’m not sure which of my chronically strict to the point of sometimes imposing personal inconvenience privacy measures is the effective puzzle piece here but that has never happened to me.
I really don't think it's a good thing that you can casually browse a website you've never been on before for 30 seconds and suddenly they can email you like HEY ARE YOU SURE YOU DIDN'T WANT TO BUY SOMETHING. I'm bravely saying that should not be able to happen.

Yeah. All of the strikes have been just as illegal as if Iran sunk a Disney cruise because it suspected passengers carried weed.
But this one is so blatant—helpless survivors on an already-damaged ship—that it's impossible to fabricate any rationale. It's a crack worth widening.

I get this but plenty of people had been calling all the strikes murder and it hadn't broken through. This revelation did and put even Republicans on the defensive and willing to do some oversignt. My sense is that any crack the regime's implacability is a foothold.
Once the debate centers on whether the 2nd strike was legal, the first 21 strikes have been accepted as baseline. But the murder of the two survivors doesn’t make the other 21 any more legal. Selective outrage, not silence, is how authoritarianism becomes normalized @tadstoermer.bsky.social

Don’t forget “work that is objectionable but obligatory”
Moral injury can also be a form of burnout.
Lack of agency over your work, too - even if the work is not morally objectionable, of a reasonable amount and difficulty, having no agency over what/when/how to do it is also a source of burnout.

the one thing I wish they'd taught in acting training is
burnout
and how there are different kinds
too much work
not enough work
work that is unchallenging

I don't really know what the administration hopes to gain by picking fights with the most well-liked pop artists in the United States. You're just generating backlash for no discernible reason outside of owning the libs.
