We gather on BlueSky, instead of x, because it's not about individuals fighting,
it's about building a big, strong, well organized tent based on integrity.
As we become large, by supporting each other, when they do want to fight, we have strength of numbers for defense.

I have an extensive collection of pirate flags!
One of the flags is the one an ancestor of mine sailed under!

Comment from @upenn.edu Provost John Jackson here:
www.thedp.com/article/2025...

Provost John Jackson told The Daily Pennsylvanian that Mann was neither fired nor “driven-out” of the position.

“I think his position has been that it’s more and more difficult for him to do the kind of public intellectual work he wants to do while also being a University administrator at an institution that says we pride ourselves on institutional neutrality,” Jackson added.

I'm an atheist but even I know to have some respect for men/women of the cloth. For the most part they want peace and love for all and help the communities. This is just deplorable disgusting behavior. And I'm infuriated my taxes pay for it.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Some of us still remember who collaborated with the Nazis, and will never forget.

I didn't realize this is the same priest.
Now US military assaults priests in supplication for mercy?
Horrible. All wrong.

Today on Volts: hey listen up! The most important election of the year is happening in Georgia next month. Two seats on the (currently all-GOP) Public Service Commission are up & rising electricity prices are on everyone's mind. This is a bellwether for next year's governor & midterm elections!

Pay attention to the most important political race of 2025

With energy affordability set to dominate national politics, Peter Hubbard and Brionté McCorkle explain why a down-ballot Georgia race is ground zero for the fight.

The Defense Intelligence of Ukraine has released data on 178 Ukrainian cultural artifacts stolen by Russians.

Most of them - 140 artifacts - were stolen during illegal excavations in Crimea, in particular in Tauric Chersonese, at the Kadykivske hillfort, and in the Church of St. John the Baptist.

I wrote founding documents for this successful project that has saved so much water that the county massively expanded it and began to pipe all treated water to farms and gardens instead of back into the Delta.

The original farm, on treatment plant buffer land, provides fresh food for schools.

Melody Lee Lacy @melodyleelacy.smokefleet.net · 1d

Sewage treatment plants often have designated buffer land around them, depending on the locale, that citizens can set up as gardens now, to prove the program, locally.
Keep going to meetings until you get the permit.
The savings in fresh water use can be phenomenal.
