UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Dearest Martha,

The front lines in Portland remain bleak. Today the local coffee-shop/bookstore/meditation space ran out of oat milk so I had to have soy in my favourite new latte.

And the frogs, Martha. Oh god the frogs.

You should not control a nuclear arsenal if you cannot tell the difference between fiction and reality. The story needs to be told through the lens of mental illness

Grandpa watched a movie they put on the screen for him and he’s pretty sure it’s real life. What absolute fools. Along with anyone dumb enough to buy this πŸ‚ πŸ’©.

As it should be. We miss you, but this won’t end unless there is big hurt here and people start yelling.

It's really sad how the violence is so pervasive in Portland that they don't even try to bury the war dead.

Oh boohoo. Actuall, can’t wait to say β€œbye Feliciaβ€œ to the predatory, earth-destroying AI industry, but sadly, it will take the economy with it.

Happy world squid and cuttlefish day!!

Text your friend a squid fact. Watch a video of a cuttlefish doing something cute.
Doodle a squid and then show it to me.

The world is cruel but squid are good.

Cute old truck at the Everett waterfront. I’ve been walking the dogs away from home because the fall agritourism traffic is making our roads impossible, even with their current management practices. It’s a nice change of scenery for me.

Anyone in #paleontology or #geology have a recommendation for a lay-person friendly book on the Permian extinction?

I just hope this stuff infiltrates the platforms where these lies are breeding. There are millions of Americans who immediately embrace them as truth. Facts won’t change their minds, but ridicule might. No one wants to look dumb.

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

That’s lovely. A few homes of people privileged enough to have a home, solar panels, and sophisticated equipment will be carbon neutral. The rest of the nonstop Sora slop and error prone Gen AI will suck water out of aquifers, strain electrical grids, and pollute already underserved communities.

I’ve lived in rural America long enough to know that the entire point was to bankrupt farmers…

We are all about to find out.

Of course, the day they give the Nobel Peace Prize to a president disappearing and firing on residents and citizens, and the president whose administration condemned impoverished children to starvation, is the day it becomes obsolete.
