I posted my favorite mushroom photo I’ve ever taken (and I’ve taken thousands!) when I first joined, but I didn’t know about #fungifriends yet, so I’m reposting it. Waxcap. #naturephotography #forestfloor

I say too much sometimes, but these are intollerable times.
Nobody should be dealing with our government in this manner on top of the labor we must put down just to eat.
It's a crime in itself to break us like we are fucking horses or something and never have time to do anything but work or starve

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.
![Excerpt from a BBC article: ""We usually work, 10, 11 or 12 hours a day," says a 49-year-old woman from Jiangxi unwilling to give her name. "On Sundays we work around three hours less."
She is in an alleyway, where a dozen people are huddled around a row of bulletin boards.
They are reading the job ads on the board, while examining the stitching on a pair of chinos draped over it.
This is Shein's supply chain. The factories are contracted to make clothes on order - some small, some big. If the chinos are a hit, orders will ramp up and so must production. Factories then hire temporary workers to meet the demand their permanent staff cannot fulfil.
The migrant worker from Jiangxi is looking for a short-term contract - and the chinos are an option.
"We earn so little. The cost of living is now so high," she says, adding that she hopes to make enough to send back to her two children who are living with their grandparents.
"We get paid per piece," she explains. "It depends how difficult the item is. Something simple like a t-shirt is one-two yuan [less than a dollar] per piece and I can make around a dozen in an hour.""](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ks3gpa6ftoyaq7hmf6c4qx4c/bafkreiber7g4o5pujmzmjjzsp5dkz7blfexburuwjispfpv6dki7akjb7a@jpeg)

The Department of Education is proposing a definition that could strip nurse practitioners and CRNAs of “professional degree” status.
Chiropractors keep it. Nurses risk losing it. And that change would fall hardest on women in healthcare.
This is political and it is sexist.

“The review found that Harvard in 2005 admitted Mr. Epstein as a visiting fellow in the psychology department and readmitted him the following year. And the review concluded “it is likely” that Mr. Epstein visited Harvard more than 40 times after his release from jail, between 2010 and 2018.”

I just made this and if you had told me I was going to love cabbage curry I would have given you my most skeptical look but it’s DELICIOUS!! Make sure to add that lime juice and salt to taste at the end. Mine below. I didn’t have cilantro so I’ll have to do that next time.

The dichotomy of life. Little puppies in my home taking wobbly steps and hearing sounds for the first time. while 20 minutes away ICE is making unconstitutional arrests. It’s heartbreaking and enraging and dehumanizing.

I was lying on the ground taking🍄 📷s while Beck was near me having a nap, snapped his photo. A few mins later a biker went by and asked me if I was okay, as people tend to do when I do that. It made me giggle thinking someone might think I was dead and my dog was just having a quiet nap next to me.

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.
He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.
Release the transcript.

Whatever crimes Trump may have personally been responsible for, it’s clear he would do more & worse if he thought he could get away with it.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

The Epstein files are a good place to see the social architecture of make-believe as you can look at any thread on here and see people cooking up all kinds of imagined scenarios for what will or won’t happen which get repeated and cemented into fractal eddies of belief. And that’s just on this site.
