I knew we were cooked as a society when everyone just sorta decided they were sick of dealing with Covid and everyone just decided to pretend like it wasn't a thing anymore.
The hardest thing about it all is you question the values you shared with people you thought you knew.
You question if you even knew them at all..

I have never, and will never refer to myself as an “ally” and will take it a step further and say you shouldn’t trust people that do. Allyship is performative at best, what I would like is an opportunity to prove I am a comrade.

Fun fact: In the old days, if you dialed *67 before calling a number it blocked your caller ID from the person you were calling, people who did this for pervert reasons were called 67'ers.
It still works, but nowadays people can just block anonymous numbers so it's not as useful to perverts.

In the #Forest
Maui & I went to the forest to start collecting Cedar & Douglas Fir boughs. It started raining but I got this nice shot of #Mushrooms, #Ferns and #FallLeaves. #PNW #Photography
Found quite a few boughs on the forest floor & a bunch of holly to start the tomato cage tree & garland.

We are drowning again and again
It will be a harsh, long, bitterly cold winter.
And between every storm and the next… another massacre, new displacement, lethal suffering, and bleeding grief.
If you have any spare i beg you i’am in dire need to evacuate 😣

It’s not enough that Gazans have been stripped of their land, their homes, and a lifetime of hard work even education has been taken from them.
Education was the one thing Gazans held on to the most; our parents sold everything they owned so we could learn.

Doug Ford *falsely claiming* he has the power to audit his enemies when he doesn’t actually have that power is still a news story
But it’s kind of a different story than one uncritically accepting the premise that the Premier of Ontario can order the federal government to audit his enemies
But it’s kind of a different story than one uncritically accepting the premise that the Premier of Ontario can order the federal government to audit his enemies
It would have been nice if someone asked Doug Ford to explain how he plans to order these charity audits given charities are overseen federally by Canada Revenue Agency
Ford says he will audit ‘left-wing radical groups’ opposed to government legislation | Globalnews.ca
Ford's warning came after members of the tenant advocacy group ACORN interrupted the legislature to protest a controversial omnibus bill that shortens some eviction timelines.
