There's nothing wrong with you, and you are not broken. The world that should offer us peace, warmth, and book clubs in the old forest with sophisticated animals in little tweed suits is broken.

Elon Musk is bankrolling an ad campaign to get you to check your voter registration through an innocent-sounding website. But his real goal is to collect and sell your personal data to advertising companies, Big Tech, and other Republican PACs.

The slick voter registration website, currently being promoted to millions of people, is a digital surveillance machine.

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” Matthew 6:5-6

The image is of a four panel comic.
Panel one shows an eldritch god, a skeletal possum like creature with large antlers, saying "I AM AS OLD AS THE FOREST ITSELF". 
Panel two shows a stick figure saying, "But you must have been a baby at some point?"
Panel three shows the eldritch god saying "Well. Yes."
Panel four shows a tiny eldritch baby sitting on a rock, his antlers just little twigs.

And then they throw in some Celtic languages and yoink bits of languages from around the world along the way. The result: a language where there are usually about 10 different ways to say something, but when it comes to writing, you sit at your desk for 20 minutes trying to think of one 🤣 #amwriting

For most of human history, we have acted as if we were separate from nature. As if forests, oceans, rivers, and wildlife existed solely for our use. But the truth is simple. We are not separate from nature. We are part of nature. We need nature. Without nature, humanity will not survive.

Identifying historical patterns, including how autocrats behave when their power is threatened, can help us to understand what may happen in the future. We should all be prepared so we can expect the unexpected and do something productive if and when that moment comes.

to hear Trump tell it, American elections were completely corrupted while he was president and he was helpless to stop it, then they were cleaned up by Biden ahead of Trump's victory in 2024, and now that Trump is president again they are once again becoming third world caliber

For anyone who thinks increasing oil & gas production is the path to energy independence, you're dead wrong. While we continue to rely on fossil fuels, we're held hostage to global pricing. The real path to energy security is local production of renewables and grid-scale storage. #EnergyTransition

Clownfish aren't born male or female. They're born undifferentiated, then the largest in a group becomes female and the second largest becomes male. If the female dies, the male becomes female. That's just one fish. There are over 34,000 species. And the diversity is wild. #fish #ocean #nature
