one thing i wanna say though is data centers being built in rural areas is environmental racism + classism so when i see ppl bitching about locals bitching about data centers im like oh it’s literally because it’s not your backyard being demolished and your air not being polluted and your waterways not being ran dry and your soundscapes not being raised to unhealthy decibels ….
i hope everything works out in the end because i am so so scared
Happy pride month to the bisexuals
KOSA again, with a different name… and they’re trying to sneak it past you before July 4th. CALL YOUR REPS!
Buried inside the KIDS Act are provisions that will push online services to verify all users’ ages, require government-directed moderation p
Like the man said…the shadow takes another form and ruses again. Time to make some calls and let them know we’re watching.
Don’t assume malice. Assume ignorance. Life is easier, the world is kinder, and you can educate. Actual malice is pretty rare, I find.
Always remember Hanlon’s Razor–”Never assume malice when incompetence will suffice as an explanation.”
That’s said, never forget Fred Clark’s Law, either: “Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.” There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice–at which there is simply no way to become that ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.
Another way I understand this is:
Sometimes incompetence gets to a point where it will have the same effects as malice, and even if you were not being malicious, you still have a responsibility to own the consequences of your ignorance.
Accountability is necessary for society to work properly and for relationships to grow trust.
If someone who should, doesn’t know something, they still have a responsibility to others to deal with present consequences and do better next time.
Simple interaction I had the other day to illustrate that:
A lady cut in line in front of me at the drugstore.
I decided to let go and wait for her to go first, because ain’t nobody got time for that. A person who was with her pointed out that I had been waiting in line.
She looked around, said a little flippantly, “No, she wasn’t,” then thought better and asked me, “were you?”
“I was, actually,” I said, “but it’s fine, you can go.”
She immediately left her place and opened space for me. “Oh, my God, I’m so sorry, I didn’t notice, please go ahead. My head is not right these days, I’m so worried about-” how she is sick and taking some new meds, etc, and still insisted that I check out before her when I said again that it was fine.
She was not malicious, she was distracted, but as soon as she was made aware of her mistake she apologized and took the steps to fix it.
I payed for my stuff, said, “don’t worry about it, hope you get well soon” and went on my way, feeling a bit better about humanity in general.
If you found you’re in the wrong, knowing that mistakes are an inescapable part of life makes it easier to admit them and fix things with grace.
But in general, assuming ignorance/incompetence instead of malice dials situations down from offenses to simply annoyances.
It’s not that humanity sucks. It’s just that people make mistakes, which is a much less cynical way of approaching life.
Yeah, it's time to get this post out again
disabled people are often in permacrisis
there's never enough money each month. there's always an unexpected illness. new symptoms pop up or old symptoms flare up. meds have to be managed always and refilled constantly and any refill has the opportunity to go wrong. any regular care has the opportunity to go wrong. any mistake can send your health spiralling. it's always "i just need to get through this bad patch" but as soon as one ends another begins. another crisis begins in the middle of the last crisis. managing one thing leaves another thing to be neglected until that becomes a major issue and has to be managed asap and the cycle starts anew over and over and over

The magic of childhood is that you were constantly encountering new things. The best way to feel that way again is to fill your life with new experiences.

sometimes your distress does indicate you should stop and respect your limitations. at other times it's more of a baby aquatic mammal being introduced to water for the first time thing. Too bad the difference is so hard to tell.
the most important thing to me ever is bi kids knowing that it’s ok to be 10% attracted to women and 90% attracted to men or 10% attracted to men and 90% attracted to women and still feeling ok to identify as bi, and still feeling like their identity is valid, and still feeling like they can lead fulfilling lives with both (or other) genders. like that’s just so fricking important.
I’m a bi adult and you know what? I needed this. Thank you.
it’s also important to remember that it can be a fluid % like sometimes it’ll be 50/50 some times 10/90 and then drift into a 45/65 or even 2/98 and it’s still okay. It’s just where you are at that time in your life.
That shift is called the bicycle
It’s also important for them to know that bisexuality is not binary & never has been. You can be attracted to any gender, & still be bisexual. You can be attracted to someone regardless of their gender & still be bisexual. Oh & being bisexual isn’t about who you date. It’s about who/what you’re attracted to.
I follow the "leave nothing but footprints take nothing but photos" rule of state/national parks yeah because conservation. But also because when I was 11 i read a short story about a girl who went to a museum and stole a bandage flake off a mummy on display with the mentality of "im just one person one piece won't be missed" then at night she was visited by the mummy and it plucked a single hair from her head and then the next night a different mummy took another hair and she realized that there were only so many pieces to her before there would be nothing left and that story was forever wedged in my brain. Anyways leave cool rocks where you find them or the mummies will get you
planetariums, art museums, aquariums, science museums my beloved

Im sorry but you need to come in person for a checkup to make sure you actually need the medication you’ve been taking for 8 years
A difficult thing about complex trauma is that there may not be any specific events that you can point to as something bad that Happened™️ and explain why you are weird at parties. Maybe there were small things that were mundanely bad but don’t justify the scale of your reaction. And maybe someone else describing the situation makes it sound laughably trivial. “I felt unsafe” never feels sufficient for something to have a profound effect on you. You feel like a phony, you feel unreasonable, you feel like acknowledging it would be stolen valor. Or maybe you wind up with an unscrupulous psychologist who tells you that something hugely, cinematically awful must have happened and convinces you that your mother’s bridge club made you eat gentile babies on the full moon for 13 months.
But. Well! Simply feeling unsafe/insecure/scrutinized/etc for prolonged periods inherently messes you up. Even if it’s with good intentions.
for a child, feeling unsafe around one's guardians or in one's home is in fact an emergency. kinda like "for most of human history having a whole bunch of people violently mad at you at once meant you were gonna die," I think. evolutionarily, a child who is not safe with guardians or in the home environment is very likely to die.
changing my mindset from “if I don’t keep my home clean i’m a useless horrible failure” to “i deserve to live in a comfortable, clean environment, so i will do my best to provide myself with that” has been fairly life changing
and it applies to so much!!!! i try to take whatever i’m beating myself up over, like “i haven’t been eating enough veggies lately so i suck as a human,” and instead reframe it as “my body deserves all the important nutrients found in vegetables” and suddenly i’m ten billion times more inclined to actually prioritize eating more veggies
shame is a paralytic!!!!! self compassion is an actual motivator!!!!!
Hey, we’re in line for some absurd temperatures here in the southwest this week. This is very important to know and keep in mind. Be safe, stay hydrated, stay out of the sun as much as you can.
For my fellow Europeans south of us who are currently suffering from extreme heat. Stay safe!
I’d also like to add this
Additional you can also put them on your palms, also, make sure to always use a light towel or kitchen paper and don’t put the ice bags directly onto your skin!
