Looking forward to additional generations turning away from the manufacturing of consent, learning to think for themselves, and subsequently freeing themselves from the burden of seeking validation from mass media.

“If you were a parent (like me) then you’d understand why I sabotage my child’s life (out of fear.)
Since becoming a parent I have not, in fact, understood the parents who say “if you were a parent you’d understand” about vaccine hesitancy. Being in charge of this fragile little miracle has me saying things like “give her all the vaccines. Turn this baby into a pincushion” to doctors

Yes. Fuck the techno fascists!
Michigan communities are pushing back on massive data-center projects, citing huge energy use, water strain, and few permanent jobs. From Saline Township to Kalkaska, local resistance is growing as residents question whether the trade-offs are worth it.

SO THE FIRST THANKSGIVING WAS A BONDING SESH AMONG EEL EATERS
It's Thanksgiving! Are you getting your eels ready? It's tradition!
The 1st Thanksgiving included a big table full of eels. And it's fitting. Tisquantum brought eels to the starving pilgrims that spring to celebrate their new treaty w/ the local Wampanoag tribe. 1/5

Not I, for I have run out of reasons why I need to go back to my apartment
Taking a ‘cousin walk’ this Thanksgiving? As cannabis has become less stigmatized and more readily available in the U.S., industry experts say ‘Green Wednesday’ has begun to rival 4/20 for the most weed sales.
The other thing Americans consume in record numbers on Thanksgiving: marijuana
At a Maryland cannabis dispensary on ‘Green Wednesday,’ a day that has begun to rival 4/20 for the most weed sales, one product sold out in 15 minutes.

It’s like they’re doing a genocide in public
In footage published by an Egyptian news channel, 2 men are seen leaving a building with their hands in the air. Iaraeli officers order them to lie on the ground at the entrance to the building, and then shoot them to death at close range.

This is why I only ever sign petitions about legalizing marijuana
A group pushing to repeal legalization of recreational marijuana sales in Massachusetts has been dogged by allegations that it misled people into signing its petition.
They said they were asked to sign petitions for housing or safer streets. It was really to end recreational weed sales. - The Boston Globe
The coalition pushing for the ballot initiative has denied allegations of misleading voters, saying they were concocted by the marijuana industry.
