You know, I remember being told that "we have to fight them over there so we don't have to fight them over here" about the war in the middle east. So now, we're gonna go to war with Venezuela... in our own backyard...
It's honestly insane
tbh, I’m really disappointed. one time I saw an artist on twitter who painted a whole picture with eye tracking after becoming disabled and it’s so annoying that I can’t even play around with that technology because apple didn’t think about 1.6 billion people while testing an accessibility feature

We can't fall into right-wing populism’s lie that the most vulnerable in society are to blame for wealth inequality in our countries. We need to build movements that tell the truth: the story of wealth inequality is not a cultural one, but a class one.

The way we farm can either accelerate climate change or help solve it. Industrial agriculture degrades soil and emits carbon. But smart agriculture? It regenerates land, stores carbon, and secures food supplies. Here’s how these three practices lead the way. 👇
