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.

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.

“Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?”
A lot of good stuff from Butler here. The questions are embarrassing.

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?
