My passion for all things related to the outdoors placed me on a collision course with many of world's less pleasant issues.....and shaped me politically.

I am not knowing how all of you discovered your politics. For me, in the pursuit of my active outdoors hobbies I was placed in conflict again and again with greed, exploitation, selfishness and destruction of the world. Many find their politics from parents or school. How did everyone find theirs?

Just a few things I'd like to say about this @hausfath.bsky.social piece.
The first is that every 10th of a degree of heating over 2C raises risks for multiple irreversible catastrophes MORE than every 10th of a degree of heating under 2C.
That's why the 2C target exists. It's not random.

I wrote in 2017 that gunpowder, steel and boots is what matters. I don’t enjoy being right. Today's American demonstration of power coupled with hostile rhetoric against Europe is deeply worrying. Is Greenland next? #EU #NATO #Norway www.minerva.no/arne-ording-...
(+) Politisk makt i krutt, stål og støvler
Vi må formidle til USA at Norge er et av NATO-medlemmene som bruker mest på forsvaret, og vi må bidra til et helhetlig europeisk løft av forsvaret.

Good find Kurt. Guys from Philly can always add a dash of sass and wiseass to a social statement. They did it best. Have a good year. Get outta of the ranch sometime.

These guys had a lot of fun. Imagine they still are.
For all the fun, this song really, really hits.
"The secret of life is no secret at all
For secrets hold death and
Lies only build walls"
Secrets keep people needlessly suffering.

Gladys Ingle — the woman who stepped between airplanes like it was nothing. She didn’t wait for permission or play small. She made her own sky. I feel that in my bones. I walk my path the same way, barefoot and steady.

Not about sex-shaming at all.
But when you get out of breath going over your "body count" my visceral reaction is nausea while images of toxic waste cleanup dance in my head.
Maybe sex won't address your dreads in a meaningful way?

The US is at war with Venezuela.
No Congressional authorization, no public debate, no clearly stated goal, no casus belli, and a gradual ramp up rather than big opening, so many haven’t noticed (or deny it). But this attack removes the ambiguity.
