I’m thinking simple stuff like this (not my work) that promotes pesticide avoidance. Maybe one about why there’s no 🐦 🦋 🐛 🐞 in your yard. Or one about reducing & reusing, because recycling is trash. I want to share information with folks who may otherwise never never be introduced to such things
A hand drawn simple chart from sidewalknature.com

at the top. It says DIY safe merely free mosquito control. Then there’s an image of a cylinder/bucket with some water and a stick inside. Next to it There’s a + with a handful of plant material and another + with a tiny mosquito dunk.
under that, it says BTi dunk + bucket + water + grass + stick = mosquito bucket of doom

What if I designed educational mailers*? I could set it up so people could choose which one and choose an area. Then they could decide to send via USPS Direct Mail to specific mail routes *topics tbd but actually interesting and helpful and maybe PSA-style

Wouldn’t it be cool if we could vote with our tax dollars? Let’s say half of your tax dollars fund a “core government” then, you personally allocate the other half. You’d get to choose how much is given and to which services

Every couple weeks I’ll read something that points out that right wing billionaires and Trump’s allies own the vast majority of media companies in America, and then the rest of the time see people asking “how come x, y, z phenomena?” that could easily be explained as downstream of the former

Why is H1 even an option when using a wysiwyg editor? Is there some magic differentiation between the h1 that exists on a webpage? I've always assumed the title (a separate field) would be the H1. does the hierarchy restart for a different container?
