Critical minerals have long been touted as the key to the global energy transition because they’re used in everything from EV batteries to solar panels and wind turbines.

They’re also essential to the production of military equipment.

Why Is the US War Department Buying into a BC Mining Company? | The Tyee

Global instability is creating a rush for critical minerals, which are useful for green energy. And the military.

The premier's Home Depot story is so obviously a lie but based on such believable truths (threatening people in parking lots, protecting the business interests of the "little guys" like Home Depot) that it works all to sell his horrible bail reform shit. What a fucking ghoul.

"You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you."

- Miss Major, 2023 💔

One of the things I hear with some younger trans people I know is they feel, "I'm gonna get this surgery, and I'm gonna learn that way of speaking, and I'm gonna be done." You're never done. If you're a straight, cisgender person, you're never done. Things are always happening that have the potential to change you. So all I am today is not who I'm gonna be tomorrow, because of the things that happened to me today and later tonight. People forget that. "Oh, after I transition, I'm gonna be through." Well, good luck with that. 'Cause if you're through, then it's time to leave, you know, and I don't wanna go anywhere yet.
I'm in my seventies. Why didn't I stop? Number one is community. My gurls. I've had moments of thinking about stopping, but I didn't. I made sure I would step back, reju- venate myself, and then got back out there, and that's how you make a way. Our stories are not all the same, but the destination is: to get some place where we have some peace and harmony, and we can be at ease with ourselves and the people around us. You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you.
