The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.
I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.
Save water, grow food, support local. You can do all three with these wicking garden beds #okanagan #foodsecurity #waterislife youtu.be/jWeC8VJnWPY
Chart showing in many countries, people see their fellow citizens as morally good.
We asked people around the world to rate the morality and ethics of others in their country.
The U.S. is the only place we surveyed where more adults describe the morality and ethics of others living in the country as bad than good. See our full morality report here: www.pewresearch.org/...
I'd be furious about this if I was American.
if you know anyone in the Vernon, Kelowna, Lake Country, Salmon Arm areas that might be interested in some beautiful cedar #wickingbeds to grow food in this year, I am now a certified Foodscaper with... www.lifespacegardens.com/lekker

who's over on twitter still? how are the e-files being discussed there? Are they shifting? What is "the other side" believing? Can we build bridges over this issue (raping and killing and ..(can't bring myself to say).. children) that everyone agrees is WRONG, IMMORAL, DISGUSTING and illegal?
Happy Saturday! TY

Check on women.
Believe women.
Stand with women.
Fight beside women.
The anxiety.
The rage.
The exhaustion.
The grief.
That isn’t weakness mental because health is political when your rights are on the ballot.
Survival isn’t a debate.

We buyers all know about the greed-flation going on. It's pure greed making 25% profit not good enough they got to have 75% (just using numbers here) but shoppers know. Greedy corporate owners! #cdnpoli #bcpoli
If you truly want to be "self-sufficient", IMHO you should be #composting as much of your own food waste at home as possible. Don't rely on the government for that. Decentralize. Better for the planet, empowering, #soil building, #wastereduction

ya...not great. Lots we can do differently if people were willing, though. And green energy / tech wasn't stifled.
going through old grocery receipts from 7 years ago and finding that a "big shop" for the family used to be about $185 and now it's $350. so yah, doubled in that time. #inflation #pricegouging #affordability
