“Standard Time [is] denoted as such because it more closely follows our natural rhythms and the solar cycle.” #DitchDST #SaveStandardTime www.pretiuminsights.com/p/a-matter-o...
I'm convinced that people unconsciously associate DST w/ warm weather, longer hours of sunlight, growing season & all that goes with it.
If they stop to think about it, they'll realize that warm weather, longer hours of sunlight, & growing season happen regardless of the clock!

Many states reported increases in accidents (some fatal), and a few also saw increases in sexual assault, when permanent DST was last tried. Permanent Standard Time is safer. #DitchDST #SaveStandardTime
BC almost got it right. Putting an end to time change is overdue, but permanent DST is not the way. It has been attempted in the past and overturned. Keeping Standard Time year round is the healthier and safer option.

Pox on all the politicians in Washington for I loath the fiction that is Daylight “Savings” Time.

Let’s hope this is the last time we “spring ahead".

“A one-hour change can have serious consequences for health and safety. We need to end the practice of seasonal time changes and stick with Standard Time.” #DitchDST #SaveStandardTime www.newswise.com/articles/sle...
We appreciate alternatives to permanent Daylight Saving Time, but permanent Standard Time is still better for health and simpler for commerce! #DitchDST #SaveStandardTime thehill.com/homenews/nex...
“Permanent Standard Time is safer for our streets… Standard Time promotes better sleep at night…” @aasmorg.bsky.social #DitchDST #SaveStandardTime www.globenewswire.com/news-release...
I believe that it was installed after lobbying by convenience stores. Because people spend more money when it's light out. #SaveStandardTime #DaylightSavingTimeSucks

Stop the “spring forward”, save morning light and save lives! #SaveStandardTime
“Standard Time preserves morning sun. Morning light helps overall health.” Tell your legislators to #DitchDST and #SaveStandardTime! community.thriveglobal.com/time-changes...
And yet Florida lawmakers today push hardest for permanent DST. #DitchDST #SaveStandardTime
Permanent Daylight Saving Time is what Nixon tried, and it proved wildly unpopular. Clock switching was thereafter restored.
Permanent Standard Time is different: It scientifically is more healthful, and it historically lasts for decades! #DitchDST #SaveStandardTime
Interesting information on why time zones exist for anyone who doesn't understand:

"Before 1883, towns across the nation set their own times by observing the position of the sun, so there were hundreds of local times."

“Conversations about Daylight Saving Time often revolve around preference and habits. Leadership demands a different filter.” #DitchDST #SaveStandardTime www.forbes.com/sites/julian...
“I just had a discussion with my husband about declaring our 3 acres Eastern Standard Time forever. We will NOT comply. We will keep our clocks the same. I realize this may become problematic for us but we can overcome.” #SaveStandardTime cucharo.substack.com/p/spring-ahe...
A picture of two clocks. For the clock on the left, there is a yellow sun at the “12” position, and overlain is the word “THIS”. For the clock on the right, there is a yellow sun at the “1” position, all numbers are rotated 30° counter clockwise, and overlain are the words “NOT THIS”.
Clocks have meanings. Keep high noon atop at 12! #DitchDST #SaveStandardTime

FUCK YEAH DUSK AT 3:45 IN THE AFTERNOON, WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE ABOUT THIS IDIOTIC, POINTLESS RITUAL #fuckDST #savestandardtime
My humble take is, it's going to get dark earlier regardless and if we stop this antiquated back and forth with the clocks, we would more naturally adjust. #savestandardtime
vaguely regretting my analog clock fetish: two wall clocks, stove, microwave, two bedside clocks, AND my watch all need adjusted #fuckDST #savestandardtime
