In Australia, "Wind and solar energy smashed their market share records on Saturday, even after heavy curtailment that dragged back their potential output from meeting more than 113% of grid demand to just below 80%." Hello Winsome Earle-Sears? bluevirginia.us/2025/10/sund...

From RenewEconomy: "The Australian Energy Market Operator has said that it is preparing for the day when it is able to manage the grid with up to 100 per cent instantaneous penetration of renewables."

The "left" needs to stop endlessly burning itself down over nothing. You need to be building popular support to oppose the current regime, not making it a purity litmus test that leaves 5 people protesting.
This is how we lose.

Not taken today. Taken a few summers ago from my home. Just wanted to cheer myself up. Hope it brings you some cheer as well. (I spent today following the trail of gorgeous aspens and scrub oak in Northern NM & Southern Colorado. An annual tradition.) #rainbows #clouds #NewMexico

Beautiful clouds and double rainbow over the Sange de Cristo mountains, captured two summers ago by Maggie Duval.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

I am pro-nap, foster space for lots of deep sleep, anti-FOMO, and full bore into letting what wants to happen occur in its own time. No microdosing, etc. “Funny” how my “productivity” is through the roof. PS: I’m a 61-year old white woman. In tech, art, and film realms.

A library director in Wyoming who was fired two years ago because she refused to remove books with sexual content and LGBTQ themes from a library's children and young adult sections has just been awarded $700,000 in a settlement. t.co/EA5L1kOZfV

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

The situation is terrible of course but it's nice to see an actually prophetic and apocalyptic Catholicism rather than a soothing ritual for the middle class

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

Seeing/sharing this thought for years. Old order is in its death throes, & it knows it. Fangs & tentacles are flailing, trying to take everything down w/it. Meanwhile, the grassroots have been rhizomatically forming for decades. The new is emerging. Take heart, don’t give up. Focus on the long game.

Things to ban instead of books: fascism, racism, capitalism, billionaires, patriarchy, homophobia, shame, hate, hustle culture, body bias, sex neg, all the oppressive shit that comes of dead Protestants. Oh and toe rings, let’s toss those too while we’re tidying up.

Can’t help but wonder if the cult takes this tack when dear leader expires.

Does your partner come home with blood on their clothing and it redolent with the smell of tear gas? They/you might be an unconscionable excuse for a human.
