I don't know how to explain to people that it's important to read books, important to keep the mind sharp and active through constant learning, important to spend time with actual humans.

fresh foods about to get very expensive (as-if it isnt astronomical already) so please consider committing to growing your own garden, joining a community garden, or opening your land to friends or family so you can all co-tend a garden together 🌱

This is heartening to see! The resistance is beginning. I know we are tired. I know we are fearful. But we will make ourselves heard and reclaim this country from the grip of MAGA fascism. I’ve seen the inside of barbed wire prison camps in America. We came back from that and shall overcome this.

Think the TikTok ban is gonna crush me. TT has been an important space for me the last 2 years, it’s helped me understand myself so much more with all the content from the ND community. If you think I’m overreacting, then you don’t get what’s great about TT, and this post ain’t for you.

So it's dangerous for China to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps. But it's okay for America's billionaires to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps. Do I have this right?

Another thing I made this year. Pigeon history!

A comic called "What City Pigeons Talk About". Two city pigeons are standing on the sidewalk. One says "Hey, do you ever think about the past?" The other says "The past?"

A closeup of the first pigeon. They say "Yeah - do you ever think about where we came from? Sometimes I forget that city pigeons are domestic animals."

A hand reaches out to three wild pigeons. The narrator pigeon says "Humans domesticated us many millennia ago in the Middle East. We provided meat, feces used for fertilizer, and much more." There are two very fancy pigeon breeds. "Over time, people split us into hundreds of pure breeds - some quite elaborate! Kings and queens proudly kept pigeons, and colonists spread us worldwide."

A closeup again of the first pigeon, who says, "But we fell out of fashion. Now we peck at the dusty concrete, our past glory all but forgotten. Do you ever think about that?"

life has its share of hardships but there are days when you can only marvel at your good fortune: that you can read; that you have enough to eat; that lupines still bloom in the spring and fog shrouds the stones of Oxford.

We shouldn’t accept that a CEO killer must get a national manhunt when cops don’t solve most murders at all. A migrant teenager was just murdered in NYC, cops just killed a guy here — the lives of these other people are worth just as much as that CEO.

The combined net worth of America's twelve wealthiest people just passed $2 TRILLION. 12 people. $2 trillion. The bottom half of America collectively holds $3.5 trillion. Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

The key to economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the wealthy. The secret to prosperity is investment in American workers. When workers have more to spend, the economy grows, and businesses create more jobs. It’s a virtuous cycle.

Don't assume maximalist outcomes for the Trump administration. That's a form of psychological surrender. We should attempt to exploit every stumble, failure, and misstep, and there will be stumbles, failures, and missteps.

modern literature is great but only Emily Brontë, feral, cloistered and being slowly poisoned, could have written the line “I wish I were a girl again, half-savage and hardy, and free.”

Yesterday, Trump again pledged to carry out his mass deportation plan once he takes office. He even threatened to end birthright citizenship and deport American citizens with undocumented family members. This would be a humanitarian catastrophe and an economic disaster.
