Very wholesome Saturday. Community crop swap, bit of baking, bit of gardening, DnD with local friends, and an evening around a firepit making biochar. Good times :3

Have you ever thought about how dramatic whales are when they breach? And I don't mean "ooh wow how majestic." I mean that they all look like they're conducting an orchestra or singing opera or something. Those MFers are divas. #SillyCreatures #Scribbles #TraditionalArt

I heard from the same friend that they secretly use Amazon offices too, right under Jeff's nose. Better raid them all just in case
a friend of mine in antifa told me that antifa's headquarters is SHEIN and if the company fell the whole network would fall

Our existence threatens the lies people are telling themselves. We've done the hard work to shatter our own illusions, and they're too scared to do that for themselves. That's why they get so angry. #TransLiberation

When I have conversations with people about issues like this, I ask this question:
Would you rather that
A) everyone who genuinely needs support gets it - but a few people take advantage, or
B) punish a few bad people - at the cost of lots of people with genuine need having to go without?
