Comparing campaigns, what was on policies (not backing down re: Israel, enshrining rights for queer folks and overall moving towards an actual Left policy versus centricism) and tbh time; yeah. This could have been different.
Really, really could have used this energy last November.

Jane Goodall's ground breaking research on primates led to a major conservation initiative in Tanzania which Trump almost killed when foreign-aid funding was cut. Search engine Ecosia
filled the funding gap, guaranteeing the continuation of the Gombe reforestation project for the next 3 years.

UBI would literally save lives.
Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached.
They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others.
Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further.
#UBI doesn’t kill ambition, it frees it.

The Unfolding of Flamingos by Julia Ruth Smith New Flash Fiction Review Issue #28
Outside the sky is autumn dolphin blue. I let the salt slick my lashes when my mother isn’t looking. It isn’t flamingo season yet but I feel them coming down the rift and it saddens.

Honestly one of the best reasons I can give you to plant native plants right now is that everything fucking sucks & a lot of it feels (or is) totally out of our control (depending on who you are). One thing most people can do is plant a plant and then look at bees happily sipping on it.

Dear fountain pen fans: In case you didn't know, the Goulets helped found and are on staff for an anti LGBT and patriarchal SBC church whose pastor says that being gay is an equivalent sin to murder.
The SBC pours a lot of money into regressive political causes.

‘spatialization’ yes
The sounds captured by Anne-F Jacques for this album have all been transformed by the microphone. It makes the documentated environment hard to separate from the performed interventions. Headphones are great here, the spatialization is fantastic
