Hey did you know I have an Etsy shop? It's got a handful of cross stitch patterns if that's your jam: www.etsy.com/shop/ineffab...
I also have a tip jar at ko-fi.com/sarah_serinde. Occasionally I post Desert Bus craft pics there before they go up elsewhere (or ones that don't go up anywhere else)

I've said this before but the secret to moderating the DB chat is that we've grown a wonderful loving community that needs very little hands-on work from us mods. This lets us focus on helping people and means we have more bandwidth to just enjoy the run, so thank you chat for being awesome #DB2025

A lot of things are dark and scary right now, but we still got together to raise over a million dollars to make life better for kids in hospitals. I love @desertbus.org so much and I'm so proud of what everyone does for this each year.
Next year is the 20th, that's wild.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

It’s time for James Challenges @desertbus.org Chat. But I’m gonna be honest with y’all and lay it all out. Obviously this year has been rough on everyone, myself included. It’s been a struggle to find the energy for this years run. I know I’ll muster the juice needed for the show, but I’m tired.

This would be catastrophic to the household finances of every renter, dramatically increase homelessness for seniors & fixed income, all to boost landlord profits. Would destroy any slim chance of saving towards home ownership. Landed gentry pulling the ladder up & devastating ON society & economy.
In particular, they want leases to no longer necessarily remain in effect indefinitely, so that landlords have more options for creating tenant turnover.
