Every now and then someone on the left or within a minority liberation campaign comes up with the idea "what if we created a psyop/organised disinfo campaign for the left", and I am here to say that these are fundamentally the tools of the right. That specific kind of propaganda is anti liberty.

This is criminal and heartbreaking. We can’t forget about these poor souls who have unjustly been relegated to hell. Did you ever think the country you live in would be among those who disappear people?

Make sure Gov. Maura Healey is defeated in the next election.

I asked my AI assistant and got answers that make sense, but I’d love to hear from actual people on the topic 😅

Australia is way hotter than its neighbors- Papua New Guinea is closer to the equator but way cooler. Why? Maybe the lack of forest/bush?

If you care about nature, I call on you to care about the Treaty - Greenpeace Aotearoa Those of us who care about nature will likely have experienced feeling our world broadened by a Māori worldview. Submit against the Treaty Principles Bill today.

Here are some very good reasons to consider making a submission on the Treaty Principles Bill if you haven't already.

One of my 70+ year old parents had cold symptoms last week. I asked if they had tested for COVID yet? They were like, it never even crossed my mind! 🤯

Damn, it’s still one of the 10 leading causes of death in the US! 🤐😷 (the test was negative, thank goodness)

F. W. Woolworth Company - Wikipedia

Heya! I just read about that… #wikipedia #nerd Apparently the Australians borrowed the name of the American chain, which started in the 1870s! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F._W._W... #history

New Zealand seems to have a preponderance of American brands - some that are totally gone in the US. Woolworths is one of the two main supermarket chains! Funny to see Circle K and Bed Bath & Beyond stores here, too.

I’ve been brutally culling my belongings for months now. Today I am very proud to have converted 3 hats into one. I leave the mainland tonight to do some island hopping. First stop: Honolulu.

If you zoom, in you can see that the face is a clown with 5 o’clock shadow… sad clown on top, ballerina below, marionette throughout?

Not far from here I came across a cishet couple arguing outside a bar. The guy was a complete #disasterdude & had been berating his girlfriend for literally bullshit reasons. 

The girlfriend & I breathed & did a meditation together. We wished for him to be well & to be at peace. We asked him to breathe in & out, deeply, slowly, 10 times. 

Sadly, he wasn’t available for any of that, hopped up on cocaine & booze & with a nervous system that’s been damaged by repeated traumas. 

I hope his girlfriend got in her car & went home & refuses to see him again.  

May you be safe. May you be well. May you be at peace

Here in #VeniceBeach #california there’s a cool sculpture on a building with a CVS. Looks like a ballerina with a marionette head, maybe? More in alt text

Sure, the northern latitudes get aurora borealis. But Southern California gets the glorious sunsets.
