The world will only get better when we embrace and empower people to self-actualize and self-govern in equitable, just systems. This can only be achieved by embracing plurality, not centrality.

It's tiring to hear the same things, but I urge you to keep making your voice heard. From what I understand, companies typically need at least a 1-2 week disruption in calls to start considering changes.

Tom Lehrer was my grandfather's favourite artist, and I grew up listening to a bunch of his songs. Just yesterday, I used his Kissinger quote.
He will be dearly missed.

Valve just updated their Steam rules to ban content that “may violate rules set by payment processors or banks.” Sounds boring. It’s not. It’s the quiet normalization of financial censorship and it’s going to hurt LGBTQ+ games and devs

Sweden has gone ahead and passed their draconian "Nordic Model" bill criminalizing online creator content.
As of July 1, consumers who purchase an OnlyFans clip, a cam show or other creator content will be subject to arrest and a year in prison
All in order to "protect" women from exploitation.

Starting next week, I'm beginning a project to start reclaiming a grass lot near my work. It seems to just be mown and used for nothing else; a blank space behind a building next to a public parking lot.
I've already been surveying local plants to try and create a profile of restoration.

Network with those at your job, or in your community. Put yourself out there and meet new people who are willing to act.
Even if it's something small, that can make all the difference.

American support for Ukraine should not depend on access to 'rare metals'.
Self-determination should not depend on whether you have value to extract for the global market. Ukraine should not have to choose between giving up the land they live on in any sense of the word.

The current people at the levers of power saw the world progressing, and embracing higher ideals. And they flinched. Fear drives them to a new dark age.
