I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.
Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Donβt take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are π
Graph comparing changes in global surface temperature over time. It features two panels: the left shows reconstructed and observed temperature changes from 1850 to 2020, highlighting unprecedented warming in the last 175 years. the right shows the change in global surface temperature (annual average) from 1850 to 2020. It shows the observed temperature, along with simulated temperature with and without human influence. The simulation that doesnβt include human influence cannot reproduce what is observed.
There's natural variability in climate, but it's never changed so rapidly and dramatically. We know it's due to humans because when we only look at the natural forcing and ignore human influence, we can't reproduce the observed changes. It's real and it's us.

Nothing like a migraine to make the events unfolding in our country today even that more stressful. Iβm trying to focus on the smaller, concrete actions I can take. Fighting the βfreezeβ is a terrifying and almost inescapable mindset, but Iβm undoing it more every day.
Stop letting unfunny men tell you thereβs something wrong with you for not getting their βjokesβ. Stop fake laughing. Let their reality reflect the truth of how fundamentally they misunderstand humor. Neuter their ability to use βit was a jokeβ for emotional cover. Make them see nobody laugh.
Don't let Donald Trump extending the TikTok ban distract you from the fact that his Administration is about to conduct mass deportations across America in a matter of days.
Iβm so aggravated. Living with boomers who have no true concept of the state of the U.S right now is just.. mind-boggling. Not surprising, but itβs hard to hide my absolute internal crisis right now when they are just having dinner with friends?? While everything burns?
Existential crisis,

βI donβt consider myself COVID cautious. I consider myself COVID competent,β Zebrowski said. βCautious would imply that I have an unreasonable fear of something. I do not have an unreasonable fear of this disease.β

I don't trust anyone mocking people for being upset over the TikTok ban in the US. Saying stuff like they're gonna have to get a "real job" now.
When many of the people that rely on that app are disabled and won't be hired for a "real job".
Seriously. Itβs not an option. It cannot happen, or so many, including myself, are fucked. Iβm disabled on SSDI, way too chronically ill to work, I have no other way to survive.
Instead of people being like "OMG the horror coming the way of Social Security etc." I would really love for them to be like "we're not going to let that shit happen".
Just because as someone who is entirely dependent on Social Security to survive I really need you to not let that shit happen.

Reminder: you donβt have to be good at something to enjoy it, you donβt have to get better at it, you donβt have to monetize it, and it doesnβt have to be useful.
This. Iβve lost a lot of family, and most of my friends because of this mindset. Iβve had to start so many new friendships and lose them repeatedly because people eventually stop taking precautions. Itβs repeated heartbreak for 5 years now.
It is such a good idea to do this. I need to be reminding myself of the good too. That thereβs still joy, even if in smaller spaces.

"Conclusion:
Individuals with COVID-19 infection are more likely to develop cardiovascular complications compared to influenza and RSV, highlighting the need for higher index of suspicion and prompt treatment, as well as steps to limit infection and transmission of this virus in children."
Trying to survive a collapse is making my mast cells pretty damn angry and Iβm not having it. Like canβt one thing go right, please? Can you all just calm down? Iβm trying to learn about homesteading while poor, disabled, with no ability to do any of this. #MCAS
I feel so lucky to have my gf in my life. Iβm alone on thanksgiving today while my family gets together because they refuse to accommodate me with covid precautions. Well, my favorite drink and bakery treats just showed up at my doorstep from my girl to make my day a little better. I am so lucky.
Trying to navigate how to transfer from twt to here. Hopefully I can find everyone!
