They didn't want to live in a retirement home. So these women started their own housing collective in Montreal. Maison des RebElles is a chosen family of 22 women – mostly gay, some allies – that's been flourishing for more than 30 years. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

The world’s largest sand battery got through Finland’s harshest winter in years. 2,000 tonnes of sand, heated to 500-600°C by cheap power, feeding district heating in Pornainen. And it worked. Result from one install: oil down 100%, emissions down 70%. Industrial process heat is the real prize.

the "illusion of free choice" meme (the one with the cow), where the cow is labeled "I am not hot enough to be this much of a disaster", the two paths are labeled "I need to get my shit together" and "I need to get hotter", and both lead to a hole labeled "my inevitable death at the hands of the state"

Five years ago today, cops and militia types encouraged a 17-year old with a 9th grade education to wander into a riot with an AR-15 A man prematurely released from inpatient care for his 2nd suicide attempt in 2 months chased him into a parking lot The man lunged for the rifle. The kid shot him
I

Childhood in Tennessee - Runs away - New Orleans - Fights - Is shot - To Galveston - Nacogdoches - The Reverend Green - Judge Holden - An affray - Toadvine - Burning of the hotel - Escape.

S ee the child. He is pale and thin, he wears a thin and ragged linen shirt. He stokes the scullery fire. Outside lie dark turned fields with rags of snow and darker woods beyond that har- bor yet a few last wolves. His folk are known for hewers of wood and drawers of water but in truth his father has been a schoolmas- ter. He lies in drink, he quotes from poets whose names are now lost. The boy crouches by the fire and watches him.

Night of your birth. Thirty-three. The Leonids they were called. God how the stars did fall. I looked for blackness, holes in the heavens. The Dipper stove.

The mother dead these fourteen years did incubate in her own bosom the creature who would carry her off. The father never speaks her name, the child does not know it. He has a sis- ter in this world that he will not see again. He watches, pale and unwashed. He can neither read nor write and in him broods already a taste for mindless violence. All history present in that visage, the child the father of the man.

Goodnight, friends. Did you know that Monarch butterfly migration is multigenerational? That is, it takes several successive generations to make the trip. Their individual lifespans are too brief. People are like that too. We have to persist in hope of what's to come. I love you.

A reminder that after years of speaking out against Epstein and giving other survivors the courage to come forward, Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41. Let's not forget that there are real human tragedies behind everything we're discussing.

Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein's most prominent abuse survivors, dies by suicide
Other Epstein victims credited Giuffre with giving them the courage to speak out.

When historians, experts on fascism and people who have survived fascism say that this is fascism and the legacy media still refuses to call it, what it is, they are not doing their job. If you work in the media and you are not willing to do your job fuck off, quit and find a new goddamn job.

This story is extremely rare. This type of reporting almost never makes it out of a war zone. Because the reporter usually DIES. I am speechless and numb. It feels like reading a personal account of the Warsaw Ghetto. At the same time I want everyone I know to read this.
