Omg now I'm craving egg benedict.

Congrats! ^_^

That's so sad. :-(

Good going! And yes, showing up is always a win. <3

Dogs are too pure and too good for this world.

I actually listen to a story podcast set in space... and earth pretty much exists because we entertain the aliens. And honestly.... that sorta checks out. Cause you gotta wonder from the witness accounts if the aliens aren't just trolling us.

Yep. Too many writers submit work to editors expecting praise. Dude, that's not what they're there for.

As someone that this has happened to, I can confirm. 0/10 can't recommend.

Only ebooks. :-P

Every relationship needs someone who packs the dishwasher like a squirrel on meth and one who packs it like a structural engineer. This is how we maintain the time space continuum.

Feels like that report will have been written by an AI that hallucinated.

Either way, it's good to know I have you fighting the good fight with me.

And yes, the left absolutely does this too. But we're never going to get anywhere if we're screaming about the equivalent of which filter we want to put over our reality. We need to get to the reality. To the truth. And THEN we can move from there.

Which again, isn't to say don't do what you can. What I'm saying is we need to stop engaging in the reframing as far as we can (cause doing so is almost impossible) because doing so is giving a lot of people who don't deserve it a free pass to continue with their bullshit.

Cause also: you know WHY we're so focused on self-determinism when it comes to healing the world? Cause some people want us to feel good and complacent about recycling going up while those companies, who are also lobbying politicians world wide continue to destroy what they want for profit.

Most people can't even see it because it's part of the furniture when we look around us.

So yes: recycle.
Also: find out who those companies are and push for them to be legislated.

Legislating those assholes out of polluting the world and having the Global South subsidize them would do a WHOLE LOT MORE.

I'm saying this as a comms person: comms literally changes how we perceive the world. It's also bullshit 90% of the time. Problem is, it's EVERYWHERE and it's insidious.
