Really well written—thank you. I’ve been thinking a lot about the price of outsourcing our responsibility to cooperate with each other and with the climate to politicians. Everyone organizing towards their own community’s subsistence also gives us valuable knowledge and skills related to self-governance and seems far and away more ‘scalable’ than what we are doing.
separately, It’s sobering that the gates foundation is cutting its climate funding in line with the trump admin.
My community has an ice watch network so I would start filming then notify the network
Just like they’re showing up en masse to defend free speech and are outraged that men are being disproportionately deported!
NSF Director Sethuraman Panchanathan said last week that the science and engineering research agency would no longer “support research with the goal of combating ‘misinformation,’ ‘disinformation,’ and ‘malinformation’ that could be used to infringe on the constitutionally protected speech rights” of Americans.
While bashing in people’s doors for protected speech…
Sure but economically states are worried about births— they need population replacement to persist
Yep even the regions that were previously holdouts (like sub-saharan africa) are showing significant downtrends in births.
I didn’t realize he even had a formal contract
Surprised they didn’t mention the wwe/ufc merger. Trump’s always loved professional wrestling and the mcmahon family.
One of the early executive orders this admin was for a celebration of the 250th anniversary of US independence (july 4 2026). I’m convinced it will be a coliseum fight or a ‘games’ a la the medieval king era.
Someone should make a participation trophy meme
Fun size actually is the ideal ratio.
Snack sized sucks
That must feel soul sucking to build :(
One of the programs that has been defunded by the trump admin at my work was a program giving academics with families the opportunity to collaborate to make progress on research projects— something that becomes harder with kids especially if your collaborators are in other countries. We essentially reserve some spots in local schools so we can provide childcare (or else we pay for a caretaker to watch them back home).
It might be a good time to check for local food co-ops in your area. Usually these arrange for you to order items directly from local farms and pick up from someone in your neighborhood. Some of them are produce only but some offer local dairy and meat and even baked goods too. Do some digging (ask on nextdoor?) if you can’t find one because sometimes they’re quite small. In college I used one that accepted EBT!
Yeah I’m not sure why you would embroider names on blouses either…
I considered where to post it and decided it was reasonably in line with other loosely ornithology/classification themed memes in this community
There’s definitely a “pretty privilege” in society but if you want to analyze that via gender pretty guys definitely have more privilege and less downsides than pretty girls. Can’t think of a single issue a pretty guy would have that a pretty girl wouldn’t.
i always take off from the ground in flying dreams. It’s like jump…jump… Whoah!
I read Naomi Novik’s Temeraire series around the same time I read ROTE and really enjoyed them both.
Oh I see, thanks! The sentence structure was confusing me
Crocodile done deal
