I gotta say, it’s a raw deal when you’re one of the “some gun deaths.” But, per his logic, it’s only rational that some have to die so the gun nuts can keep shooting their guns.

Charlie Kirk’s quote from April 2023 for use in his obituary: "I think it's worth [it] to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the 2nd Amendment to protect our other god-given rights.That is a prudent deal. It is rational.” #thoughtsandprayers #kirk

Nearly 10 billion animals are killed for human consumption each year in the United States. 99% are raised on factory farms, which maximize agribusiness profits at the expense of the animals, the environment, social justice, and public health. The truth is disturbing. #govegan

Psilocybin causes people to feel more connected & unified. The greater sense of connectedness is linked to increased prosocial behavior. In other words, psilocybin makes us want to get along & see the good in each other. That’s not good for capitalism or for the goals of the current administration.

In trying to find a possible alternative to getting sick and needed to go to ER (eg, cannabis hyperemisis), I started using only tablets (Breez, etc). Totally helped with the CH! But now my tolerance is through the roof. Suggestions welcome! I miss 😮‍💨💨💨= 😵‍💫 Figured this was a safe place to inquire.

I just returned from Mod Santorini (all #veganhotel) on the island of Santorini. The food was INCREDIBLE and so was the service from the vegan couple who own the hotel. I’m happy to share more info (many food pics and link to Mod on my page). Note: I do not benefit for recommending Mod to others. ❤️
