An illustration of a cartoon frog looking like it's seen some shit. Headline over frog "Don't want to be human. I want to be frog" Underneath the frog is says "Eat bugs. Swim whenever. Sing "hello my baby" and then in smaller letters it says "We live in a factory that produces death and destruction at an industrial scale"

In the spirit of the phrase "resident alien for tax purposes" and me thinking Resident Alien sounds like a movie, add "for tax purposes" to the end of a movie title The Spy Who Loved Me For Tax Purposes

I love my strange little enclave. The chimney inspector came today. He is (a very single & attractive if anyone is looking) greek immigrant man; refused to charge me because flute is fine. He apologized for working on indigenous people day. “Do you know they almost wiped all the people out?!” 😂

"...under the leadership of the Big Five and their equally hegemonic national retail partners, the flagship product favored by elite-facing bookstores in wealthy enclaves got cheaper, and the format with the proven mass potential got many times more expensive." 📚 jacobin.com/2026/10/book...

Publishers Killed the Paperback, Then Blamed Readers
In 1939, the 25-cent paperback made America a nation of readers, delivering thrillers, classics and Pulitzer-winning books. So why did the Big Five publishers just kill the mass market paperback?

The Heritage Apple Corps have found trees in central Oregon that are genetic matches for some of the rare "lost" apple varieties we find in the islands. With more sampling, both here and there, we hope to be able to properly identify these varieties and bring them back into production.

These 130-year-old Central Oregon pioneer apple trees are still bearing fruit
Apple trees planted by Central Oregon's first homesteaders 130 years ago are still producing fruit, and some varieties are so rare that DNA tests came back as unique.

Anyway, your problem isn‘t finding the time to take notes. The problem is that taking notes is thinking and thinking has to be done by someone. women have been doing a lot of metacognition that looks like a task when it’s really thinking.
