This article spends most of its word count focused on USPS not delivering care packages to supplement the lack of food and hygiene products and almost none on the fact that we have deployed thousands of troops for a Not War without the resources to provide for them.
Speaking of buying ebooks directly, we offered this as a fundraiser to help with the fact that I couldn't work post-surgery, so I will be taking it down soon. But if you would like to support us & get a ton of ebooks directly from us, HAVE A BUNDLE!
Pay $20 or whatever.

Sparta landowners have been fighting against a railroad that wants to take their land.
The Georgia Court of Appeals sided with the railroad company. The judge suggested that the landowners take their concerns to the legislature or the ballot box.

Is there anything people from out of state can do to help?
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?
screencap of a tweet with a photo at the bottom of JD Vance giving a talk, gesturing smugly with his hands Eric Daugherty • @EricLDaugh • 1h • JD VANCE RESPONDS TO POPE LEO: "When the Pope says that God is never on the side of those who wield the sword - there is more than a THOUSAND year tradition of Just war Theory." "In the same way that it's important for the vice president of the United States to be careful when I talk about matters of public policy, I think it's very, very important for the pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology." "And I think that one of these issues here is that there has been - if you're going to opine on matters of theology, you've got to be careful, you've got to make sure it's anchored in the truth, and that's one of the things that I try to do, and it's certainly something I would expect from the clergy, whether they're Catholic or Protestant."
I’ve given this a great deal of thought, trying to come up with the perfect joke for this moment, and this is what I have so far -
POPE LEO: our religion teaches that this war is bad
VANCE: wow, who died and made YOU head of the Catholic Church??
POPE LEO: well, you should know, you were there
Just produced the new BTS album which sold/is selling like crazy...

In a first last month, renewables supplied more power to the U.S. than natural gas, a milestone in the shift to clean energy.
To my non tech normies, PSA: when you share a link, everything after the ? is tracking. Those “query parameters” tell companies exactly how you arrived, what app you clicked, which ad or email sent you, sometimes a unique identifier tied to you. You can delete everything after the question mark.

This thread. I have been doing this kind of work for a very long time and I know a lot about exactly this. If you want to do misconduct reporting with scared sources going up against very powerful people, and also keep your soul, it takes time. So much time. It’s very difficult. Brain meltingly so.
A lot of people are quick to say they *can't* give up Amazon.
Okay, don't.
Just don't make it your default. That thing you threw in your basket that you can get elsewhere? Get it elsewhere.
If everyone still buying from Amazon reduced their spending by 20%, Bezos would be screaming bloody murder
Chat, is it good to have your boss threatening the pope a couple of months before your book on why you converted to Catholicism is due to be published?
Please share as widely as possible.

Wow. This. So simple. So useful. Please, world, follow France’s example.
It's a good day to make sure you're following @romancingthevote.com because landslide elections feel good and we're going to send money to grassroots voter orgs who know exactly how the GOP cheats and how to fight it. 💕
You can and should donate to PCRF if you want to help Gazans, instead of shady spam accounts on social media:

If you want to help families in Palestine, you can support The Sameer Project's initiatives. They're a Palestinian-led, on-the-ground aid group that collaborates with other networks to provide vital food, water, shelter, and medical care to families during the ongoing genocide

You are a Senator. You can denounce this clearly and strongly and then take action. NOW.
Jesus wept.
I just called my US rep and senators and told them they have to do everything they can to stop this genocide. I told them I don't care if they're in the minority. They have options. I told them to chain themselves to the White House fence.
Please call your reps, too. reps.fyi
The military must not follow any orders to destroy "a whole civilization." Sane members of Congress should say this loudly now.
I simply can’t believe Congress and the cabinet are sitting around, totally fine with what is absolutely demented behavior from the president.
