1. Yesterday I wrote a thread about the dire warnings from food professionals on the state of supply chains. Comfortable folk might find it impossible to imagine an end to the current abundance. But we'd better start imagining it fast.
THIS thread is about solutions - false ones and sound ones.

It's always been the case that "buying" an ebook from amazon was only actually a loan they could rescind at any point, but lately Amazon have gone harder on this, and it is 100% so that they can wipe banned books from your libraries without your consent.

Buy direct from authors. Get your files.

She's had her arm nearly off, got it infected, went diving and got the bends and then when she got out of the water she got a surprise arrow in the shoulder. So she's doing well. I'll be tickety-boo in no time.

This is getting sad now, like when the nerd joins the school bullies and then they all turn on him when he won't nick an N64 game from Electronics Boutique down the town centre.

Nukie (1987)

A terrible film that gave birth to the perfect meme that sums up my (our) life. 🥰

Someone asked me: How can we maintain our frequency once we have raised our vibration?
So I said:
You must perform the Quirkafleeg which will reverse the polarity of the neutron flow.
Was I wrong?

Read that again: **116** times.

Why are we STILL having to argue the case for rewilding??
