Anyone else notice how gas prices going up causes there to be a lot more hit pieces for electric vehicles. More interviews about one-off scenarios, battery fires, lack of infrastructure. No one said electric cars will be the best tool for every scenario. It's almost like the fuel execs are worried.

I want to watch a movie on the couch this weekend with some popcorn and a blanket.
Been enjoying this content creator. youtube.com/shorts/dCqnF...
This is where I have my morning coffee!
Nothing like a morning at the corner bakery to reinforce my hatred of car culture. We're in a walkable n'hood, but folks are out in their oversized SUVs, speeding through the intersection, cutting off peds, parking in the bike lane (just for a minute!) & generally just making it unpleasant for ppl.
It won't be. Why couldn't it be?
Today should be the day.
I connected with the Assistant Superintendent on this- she is working to have our IT people direct this third-party vendor to update this form to more inclusive of nonbinary genders. Thanks for bringing it to our attention- I will let you know when I hear more.
Turn off the furnace. Open your windows. Listen to the birds. They’re saying, “we can fly and you can’t, bitch.” So rude.
The purposeful selection of stuff in my home (reduction could be measured in tons), my health (vitals and weight loss) and the quality of the connections with other people.
The frustration is directed to myself. Who I was and what I allowed. It fuels my need to change. I am no longer that person. My past wouldn't recognize myself today if we passed each other.
My change can be measured in therapy sessions, results at work, time spent with my son, how I spent my money
This is what happens when I find a box which contains more than its contents. It contained decades of frustration, suppressed feelings, nights of restlessness and days of toil to provide only to lose sight of what was important and to be taken for granted.
I burned some paper...
The graveyard is full of people who thought they had more time. To do things they love, build connections with others.
What beauty is in this life are heavily skewed towards things that don't last; temporary; things that end. You too will end.
That's what makes you beautiful. Make the most of it.
Which is the lesson.
Holding onto the issue and letting it create the framework for your day is exactly like holding that piece of paper on fire. It feels important. Don't want that flame to get out of hand.
It's temporary. You can't hold on forever. The flame is not forever. Accept; move on.
Frustrated? Looking for some relief? Try writing what is frustrating down on a card, then burn it.
Like burn it while holding it. Lit side up, fingers at the bottom. Watch the flame creep down. Feel the heat as it crawls to your fingers. Stare. Flames. Smoke. Hold onto it as long as you desire...
NSFW moment was talking about responding to a choking tall people. Torso held at shoulder height and their balled fist in front where the... Umm... Personal business would be at.... 🤭
I knew she was different when I saw the felling axe and a machete in the back while helping her with the bags of torsos out of her SUV.
She puts the breath back into the situation by explaining that they share the vehicle with another person.
And that's how I met our CPR instructor....
Basic understanding of the cost to put material into orbit means this is non-functional. Despite what billionaire hacks have a say about cheaper space flight.
A better use of that money is simply to make energy free. Now. With building community solar that isn't tied to a for-profit company.
We have the technology now to put in enough solar and grid storage on the surface to solve energy problems... Capitalism coupled with bought political mechanisms prevents this reality. We don't need a donut in the sky to accomplish...
6) money creates the framework for decisions; buy people
7) externalize your costs
8) set up an ineffective organization for the tax write offs and PR
9) family and friends can testify against you, make them an accomplice.
10) avoid islands
1) be born into wealth
2) leverage this unearned power by taking all for you in every interaction you have
3) donate only when you can have a personal tax write off
4) don't pay yourself, take ownership, no taxes on ownership
5) get banks to provide super favorable rates against that oenership
I just watched a tractor pull itself up by its bootstraps on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Specifically when Pete went to change the front tire, he changed the entire wheel. Be more like that tractor by reading these 10 tips from billionaires.
It could happen today.

I went to sleep without a shirt and woke up in my bed.
Y'all wearing band shirts to bed and waking up in a different place and having done different things are sleep walking. Get that checked out...
Ok, Frey+Donald Smut. You're welcome to take that thought from me and may it stay gone from this mortal vessel. You don't have to keep it. It's just not welcome here.

It would be a great day for it to happen.
