There is a version of the poster with the word “slavers” instead. We noticed that after finishing the design.

Yeah hey when I say being in the military and killing people fucks you up, i am not playing. We as a species are not made to kill each other and no western nation has ever adequately grappled with that after blithely sending soldiers off to war.
"Why did I personally do it now? I needed to cleanse my mind of the brothers I've lost and relieve myself of the burden of the lives I took," Sergeant Livelsberger said in one of the notes, according to the police.

Pottery! Also artisanal prints from Sarah's printer which is held together with a rubber band and uses a load-bearing toothpick!

I forgot how long it takes to add a bunch of pottery to the online shop. But at long last bowls, mugs, and some lidded jars are up online! sarahwithtea.com/shop

The shop will only be open this week. It will close after Friday so I can get everything shipped before the holidays.

What are the odds the alleged killer of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson gets the chance to see the inside of a courtroom? 👇

Screenshot from article: Healthcare debt has emerged as the leading cause of bankruptcy in the US while for-profit health insurers such as UnitedHealthcare are among the country's wealthiest entities. Thompson, 50, who lived in Minnesota near UnitedHealthcare's headquarters, commanded a salary of $10m annually before he was shot dead as he prepared to attend a meeting with investors of the company.

Ocean plastic is a way harder problem to solve than it seems at first glance. “Just scoop it up” solutions are *worse than leaving it there*. This sucks, but because of how animals learn to use the plastic, it’s a no-go. Follow along with Rebecca for solutions that actually improve the situation.

"CLEANING" THE OCEAN USING NETS IS A DANGEROUS IDEA.

The Ocean Cleanup is using boats & a net to collect ocean plastic (left). I've circles all the animals trapped in their early prototypes (right).

There are better ways to solve the ocean plastic problem... 🧵

Happy Thanksgiving
A hog from a 19th century portrait, expanded and edited so that it stars in the New York City Thanksgiving parade. It is being carried by a group of Ronald McDonalds (which doesn't make sense, but does make sense because the original image was of a Ronald McDonald float).

Blog 119—"The Election, Lao Tzu, a Cup of Water," November 2016

www.ursulakleguin.com/blog/119-the...
A quote from Ursula's 2016 blog post reads, "The death way or the life way? The high road of the warrior, or the river road? I know what I want. I want to live with courage, with compassion, in patience, in peace. The way of the warrior fully admits only the first of these, and wholly denies the last. The way of the water admits them all. The flow of a river is a model for me of courage that can keep me going — carry me through the bad places, the bad times. A courage that is compliant by choice and uses force only when compelled, always seeking the best way, the easiest way, but if not finding any easy way still, always, going on."

“Other struggling people aren’t the enemy.” ~ Nathan Monk
A two-paneled image shows an outdoor, lettered bulletin board. The first panel shows the board’s actual message which reads: “Why is narcan free to a dope addict but my insulin is $750 a month” The second panel shows the same sign with part scratched out to read: “Why is…my insuling $750 a month” Beneath the image is the quote: “Other struggling people aren’t the enemy.” ~ Nathan Monk
