Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now
powerful hyper-religious men famously become peaceful when their mortal enemy kills their entire family
Al Jazeera cracked this "enigma":
This school had many daughters of military officers and soldiers. The idea was to attract them to the school, strike it to draw in rescuers and relatives, and then strike it again to kill them.
Not only did the US, per its own ‘intelligence,’ bomb this girls primary school, THEY BOMBED IT TWICE.

it’s great that if you are too busy to read the news for a day or two right now you get a jump scare when you try to catch up
Granted, my experience with bsky is entirely my own fault, since my following feed has devolved into unfiltered negativity all the time (thanks, news) and I don't have much real community here, nor the time to cultivate one. I'll probably stick around, but I can only do a few seconds at a time.
The only social media that doesn't immediately try to hijack and fuck up my entire brain is tumblr. I have no idea what to do with that information. What was once the messiest and most cursed webbed site on the internet has suddenly become the healthiest little support group. Everywhere else sucks.
But he didn't have to yuck your yum I guess. I dunno. Everyone is wrong today.
I think you're taking this comment too personally because our toddler is being extra toddler today and we just spent a ton of money. But he's right in the sense that no one is "exempt" from passive enabling of consumerism, and pretending EV owners are an elite chosen doesn't solve the crisis either
One of my colleagues wrote about this over 30 years ago, noting that Congress was all about "blame avoidance" in foreign policy, which basically made the president a king
We bought an electric car today. Partner planned for months, finally saw the one he wanted, slightly used. Hooray for family vehicle, since we’ve had the same old Honda Civic since we were dating. Going electric as US bombs Iran feels uhhhhhhh… let’s say the used electric car place was *busy* today.
there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true
If you are in any way curious about qigong, talk to me. While far from an expert, I've been researching nonstop and can give some decent pointers to fellow beginners, so you don't end up wasting your time on unitiated arm waving or scammers.
Since the injury, I've been doing almost an hour of qigong a day. It's like magic. Started with a hybrid yoga/PT casual community center class, and now I'm getting into the deep cuts like Zhan Zuang, Flying Phoenix, and Ba Duan Jin. Might take a course? I dunno. It's been like a miracle.
It really did feel like getting struck by lightning. Twice. First when I fell down and needed an ambulance, and then the next morning, when I did some entry-level qigong breathing and got qi-blasted by healing light and could suddenly stand. Skeptic me can't explain it. It happened.
I'm a convert.
Have my 2nd PT appointment this afternoon; we'll see if I even need more after this. I've been MIA from the internet because all I do is qigong now. Spirit saw my sedentary ass and was like (lighting bolt) your prescription is *endless standing meditations.*
I'd rather do that than spinal surgery.
hi I'm currently obsessed with this band of 90s Dads doing god's work in someone's backyard on a camcorder
please watch this low-res goodness from the National QiGong Association. it is sweet, wholesome, and good for you

Partner described tonights' stomach gurling thus: "like a wooden barrel thundering down a deep well."
The horrors commence!
Mine is also in caps, but it tends to make itself known regardless 😂
For Lent I'm giving up COSMIC DEATH FUNGUS just like Jesus did or whatever.
At least this time I'll have some home-grown cannabis medicine to take the edge off the craziest bits. Pros of making a bunch of low-dose edibles for Mom's chemo nausea.
Gonna restart the NAC Protocol, because I've been sick with daycare crud for months. Last time, it knocked some ancient crud loose; as much as I could handle, anyway. Here's hoping it wrings out even more fungal gunk this time. But. Hoo boy. I am not looking forward to reuniting with oregano oil.
as a tiny dog owner I feel both seen and attacked
Mercado Central, a cooperative of small Central American businesses in Minneapolis, is still raising money to try to save itself from closure. It’s an institution and makes this community much richer.

Took too many homegrown magic beans while testing dosages for my mom's cancer treatment, so if I say any dumb shit on here tonight it's cuz I’m Minnesotan and higher than the humidity in July don'cha'know
KMBC: "A woman tried to set a fire at a South Kansas City warehouse that had been rumored as a possible ICE detention center. Earlier today, the company that owns the property confirmed it is no longer moving forward with a sale to the U.S. government."
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.
OK everyone who is making fun of Kristi Noem over the blanket thing has OBVIOUSLY never had a toddler who was elevated to a Cabinet position
