New here. Not sure how much I’ll be posting as I’m a quiet poster to start with. Refugee from Nazi hellsite. Mostly here to follow the smart voices I was following on the aforementioned site.
Random radio dj, first of all, the Golden Globes sucked. They were not great. Second of all - you think it was awesome they sat Leonardo DiCaprio/Sean Penn at the same table? Do you, an idiot, think that maybe they were at the same table bc they were in the same fucking movie. Wake up or shut up.

My fellow organizers I beg you to rethink your use of reply all. I don’t need 19 emails hitting my inbox in a variety of can’t make meeting/can make meeting/looking forward to meeting/etc. And I’m a small hamster! How people more involved handle it I don’t know.

Good morning from Canada, a country whose border Trump has called an “imaginary” “artificial line” established by an illegitimate treaty. I’d like to be spared your nuanced “Were Trump voter’s racist with fascist inclinations or just low information voters with fascist inclinations?” debate today.

No illusions about what I can control. I did email Prime Minister Mark Carney asking for unequivocal condemnation of the Trump administration’s actions in Venezuela.
Later I’ll go to the grocery store to buy food for the community fridge as I do every Saturday because people in Ottawa are hungry.

So far today I’ve smashed the bodum and cut open my finger. Two separate incidents. So if we begin as we mean to continue I’m going to need someone to give 2026 a spanking.

Years ago when I was a kid I watched a program about a bunch of kids having a bake sale. It was to raise money for some worthy cause, actual cause not relevant. So brownies were baked, peanut butter cookies were pressed with the tines of a fork to make that little grid pattern on their back.

Am I supposed to have “goals” for 2026 when I’m living squeezed between the rock of ongoing Covid everywhere and the hard place of the climate crisis?
Goals require hope and I’m finding hope to be in short supply.

COVID-19 increases your risk of heart attacks, blood clots, strokes, & more. The risk of heart problems from COVID-19 infection is significantly higher than the risk from vaccines.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

I have a weird question for the #bird people on here. Do you think someone could tell that a book was pooped on specifically by a sparrowhawk (or perhaps hawks generally) just from the feces? I'm looking at a 16th c. case where witnesses claim books were pooped on specifically by sparrowhawks!

I am convinced in the future we will look back and realise the sheer unimaginable folly of letting a virus that can cause immune dysregulation and cognitive dysfunction in humans infect and re-infect the global population over and over again. Worse still, that we encouraged it.

Friends, when you reach out to a practitioner a reminder that email is not a secure means of communication and you don’t know me. Perhaps save the intimate details of your medical history for when I’m actually your herbalist.
