Wish he'd been right about people waking up over a century ago
We have become great because of the lavish use of our resources. But the time has come to inquire seriously what will happen when our forests are gone, when the coal, the iron, the oil, and the gas are exhausted, when the soils have still further impoverished and washed into the streams, polluting the rivers, denuding the fields and obstructing navigation. It is also vandalism wantonly to destroy or to permit the destruction of what is beautiful in nature, whether it be a cliff, a forest, or a species of mammal or bird. Here in the United States we turn our rivers and streams into sewers and dumping-grounds, we pollute the air, we destroy forests, and exterminate fishes, birds and mammals -- not to speak of vulgarizing charming landscapes with hideous advertisements. But at last it looks as if our people were awakening.

"Defenders of the short-sighted men who in their greed and selfishness will, if permitted, rob our country of half its charm by their reckless extermination of all useful and beautiful wild things sometimes seek to champion them by saying the 'the game belongs to the people.' So it does; and not merely to the people now alive, but to the unborn people. The 'greatest good for the greatest number' applies to the number within the womb of time, compared to which those now alive form but an insignificant fraction. Our duty to the whole, including the unborn generations, bids us restrain an unprincipled present-day minority from wasting the heritage of these unborn generations. The movement for the conservation of wild life and the larger movement for the conservation of all our natural resources are essentially democratic in spirit, purpose, and method."

How they were when Izzy first started 😁
The AD&D 2e kobold art from the monster manual: a kind of little rat-dog man with horns and pointed ears, in a vest and torn pants, with wrappings for the forearms and feet, and a bandana on his head; he is carrying a stick with a scorpion dangling from one end by a string

A picture of a head of broccoli. On top of it is text reading: how can you tell if someone is vegan? Don't worry, when you offer them meat, they will say "no thanks", then you can ask them a bunch of questions about it which they will answer politely, then you can get upset about it for no reason.

Schizophrenia is so weird, because reality checking is basically beneficial self-gaslighting yourself You have to doubt and even contradict your own senses and perception, but instead of accepting a lie you have to convince yourself of the truth, despite what your mind is telling you ♡

Heinlein, 1967
I began to sense faintly that secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy...censorship. When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, “This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,” the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives.

From AWS to Cloudflare... always go out of my way to avoid "smart" appliances 😖

Do not want always-online
Do not want phone controls
Do not want an app for it
Do not want a subscription

Just want appliances that work, on their own, without software updates, by pressing a physical button 😌

You're actually playing the game that gave us this meme? 🤭
You can't even make this stuff up, did no one consider the optics? 🤨
A reddit post in r/tattooadvice from u/Dif_ that reads: "my girlfriend is saying that it kinda looks like some nazi symbol. Does it really?" Then a picture of a white guy's forearm with a tattoo on the wrist of the helldiver logo, which is a stylized skull with abstract wings. The message concludes with "would someone who doesn't know what it is think so?"

Olive and (vegan) mayonnaise sandwich, but also with mustard! 🤤
So good! Savoury, salty, acid, creamy, soft bread, firm and gently chewy, so much tastes and textures it great!
As described, but pretty looking

Olive and mayonnaise sandwich 🤤 have been craving for weeks

Family tradition, down through Izzy's grandfather, and it works!

Salty, savoury, tangy, with a just slightly firm and chewy texture, so good

Izzy use vegan mayo, layer on bread, then cut green pimento olives in half and cover, then close
As described, wheat bread with a layer of mayo on each piece, and a layer of halved green olives in the middle
