I love reading novels. I’m always amazed by folks who don’t read fiction. There is nothing better, to me, than being in the middle of a book that you can’t wait to return to. It’s like living two lives at once.
France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.
Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars
The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.
Why aren't we doing this?
“we’re all traumatized by covid” ok but i specifically need to know if you were traumatized because the government cancelled brunch or because of all the death, this is a super important distinction
I used to work at a popular hotel in Milwaukee, so I have a lot of these!
I was working at the front desk when Tommy Chong walked up to me and said, “I need to pay for my room service, man” as he checked out of his hotel room. It was the highlight of my day!
ICE has kept a disabled double amputee prisoner for over 14 months.
Rodney Taylor has been denied access to his prosthetic legs.
Forced to crawl across dirty floors to access food.
Placed in solitary.
Denied medical accommodations.
They’re killing him & he needs the community to make noise!

Everything in that would destroy me (gluten intolerance 🌾 and lactose intolerance 🧀) but my tastebuds would be on Cloud 9 and I would d*e a happy woman 🫠
OMG, this made me cackle! 😆
If you live in the United States and want to see some beautiful scenery on your summer vacation, then come north to Canada. Your $$ will also go very far here, too!

A Dutch lock is closed for the spring, and its employees want you to tell them when migrating fish come knocking by ringing a digital doorbell
I’m seeing a whole lot of “but what about” posts on here today.
We’ve reached the point of fascism (a long time ago, honestly) when things are really bad for a lot of people.
Someone naming how it’s bad for them isn’t taking anything from you. Solidarity with each other is the way out of this.
Not bad, until they opened it up; my disabled ass couldn’t get up nor down that ladder. :/
Also, it’s probably just a quick internet search away but I’m tired and not in the mood to check for myself - is it possible to filter the air enough to make it breathable if a nuclear bomb went off nearby?
whmglobal Long COVID Awareness Month Every COVID infection adds risk, not protection. Each infection increases the risk of Long COVID.
I mean felons can’t even vote so why is one president? Make it make sense...
Don’t you cry!
No crying!
Well… maybe a little is okay.
Okay… Go ahead… we all have a lot to let out.
Now dry your eyes & figure out where you’re going to be for No Kings on March 28th. Together we can end the heartache & mend the heartbreak.

Mono Lake, CA near Yosemite. Salt formations rise from the shallow waters of the lake. The setting sun casts pink and purple colors across both the sky and the water. This is truly one of those hidden gem type places that Yosemite visitors never see.
A lie told once is questioned. A lie repeated often enough becomes accepted. And once it becomes 'common sense,' people stop investigating it. That is how deception survives.

Side-by-side portrait of civil rights pioneer Claudette Colvin. On the left is a black-and-white photo of Colvin as a teenager wearing glasses. On the right is a later-life color portrait of her wearing a gray jacket with a red collar. A black band at the bottom contains the quote: “I knew then and I know now that when it comes to justice, there is no easy way to get it.” - Claudette Colvin.
Claudette Colvin was 15 when she refused to give up her seat. A child was asked to accept injustice. She refused.
History didn’t spotlight her the way it should have. Courage came first.
Civil rights pioneer who helped ignite the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
Black History. Always. 🖤

I’m from Wisconsin, where bars (establishments) regularly open early. The other interpretation of this headline (bars = restricts) would never have crossed my mind.
Ugh, I agree - I wouldn’t trust them either!
Ahh, I found it - age verification.
I have the same question. I haven’t heard anything 🤷♀️
