You do not need that gas stove. Your pseudo love for these poison appliances is killing the plant, your health, and not worth it. If your food is only good on a gas stove you just can't cook

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

I just finished making ear warmers and anyone who thinks crochet hat items need to be like $10 should be stoned

(Also don't judge how many rows I have I got a big dome)

The rich don't even want you THINKING about owning a home or financial security in the name of artistic freedom they can't control. It's sick.

yetigetready @yetigetready.bsky.social · 14h

I think a lot about how artists are able to pull themselves out of poverty via NSFW art and how yes these censorship laws are very homophobic and transphobic and about melting children into the molds adults see fit...but also just anti class mobility.

“It’s time to come into the light and, in the grand tradition of civil disobedience, declare our opposition to this private theft of public culture.”
This is his story.
And an unexpected example of digital rights being denied to Palestinians, systematically, long before 2023.

A Voice for Internet Freedom
Like many others who have commented on the Swartz case in the wake of his suicide, I was transformed by this Internet freedom activist, albeit from a distance. When the news of his case broke in 2011, I was struck by his act of downloading millions of articles from JSTOR and reflected on how his efforts might someday help to make scholarship equally available across the world. Living at the time in Palestine, I was haunted by the fact that none of the scholars I met could gain access to JSTOR’s rich archive of material on their own literary heritage.

Hey everyone. This is my friend Sharif. After suffering devastating loss in the genocide he is now trying to rebuild a life for himself and his children. Things are still incredibly difficult and unsafe in Palestine and will be for the foreseeable future—please consider helping Sharif and his kids

I'm kinda worried for Seattle because I think Toronto really really wants Sandy. Dallas may promote Nola. And Portland just got an inexperienced coach so I'm nervous they may go the same route

I wonder if Rebekkah Brunson isn't a head coach bc she just loves the Lynx or if no one has asked

I wonder what it's like having to sell your IP to the Big Rat because those checks must be nice but I would feel so weird that I can't control any of it

I see why Hasan didn't go to TwitchCon. Because if they can't handle what happened to Emiru I don't even wanna imagine what would happen if there was something more egregious and premeditated

It’s not the duty of every person who marched today to vote for a democrat, it’s the duty of any democrat with the heart of a servant, who wants to take the oath and hold a public office, to win the vote of every person who marched today.

When there’s so clearly more people who don’t want fascism than do want fascism it becomes pretty fucking unignorable that the Democratic Party has a widespread candidate, platform and messaging problem. Every election is theirs to lose, and they do.

For the new users, please understand that there are bots all over this website too but instead of being Nazi bots they’re weird liberals that post incoherently annoying replies all day. Also like 30% of them aren’t bots at all but Gen X posters. You can’t tell the difference

Entire communities in Western AK have been displaced by the remnants of Typhoon Halong.

Please donate what you can/share if you cannot. Many of these places are off the road system & rely on subsistence resources, which have now been disrupted or washed away. alaskacf.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/c...
