@simdoes “Hello average citizen! What’s that, you support our new fascist system? Wonderful, wonderful! Here’s a MAGA hat to keep the sun out of your eyes. Remember keep your head down, mouth shut, say ‘yes sir’ and you’ll do fine. And we truly will be great again when you get back to work tending the lord’s fields. Just no complaining if we send your daughter up to the manor house to entertain his guests. Run along now.” 🥸

You can be poor, you can be disappointed, you can be dissatisfied with the government.
Whatever you are angry about, it is not a solution to vote fascist! We have been fighting for freedom and respect for minorities for decades. We all know what fascism leads to.
Have respect and the morals to respect our basic law! There are so many ways to show your protest. Trust your gut feeling and never be misled by populist-fascist people. Thank you!

As a California native I know what you mean about plants struggling and having to hide from the burn. I now live in the midwest and don't have that issue, but I know the pain well! Hopefully temps start to fall for you soon so you can take more time to enjoy what you're growing!
@Colarusso Because their artificial gravity generators have buffers to support you when stationary or seated, just as everyone does not splat on the aft bulkhead when they blast into warp.. 🥸 Just made that up…😝

During today’s family viewing of the excellent #STNG episode “Yesterday’s Enterprise,” the 4yo asked mid-battle, “why don’t they have seatbelts?” Good question little one. Good question.

RUSSIAN GROUNDING
Russian media say that the Kremlin regime is thinking of closing some or even all Moscow airports "for several weeks with subsequent prolongation" due to the terrorist threat (drones and, allegedly, in the short term, the possibility of strikes by long-range missiles from Sumy region, Ukraine).
Reportedly, this issue seems to be very painful for the Presidential Administration, FSB and the Russian government.

With the half the season gone, I know I want to photograph my garden as much as possible to carry me through the long winter months when there are no bumblebees or butterflies to be spied from the kitchen window. I love living in a place with seasons, but fresh roses, cosmos, dahlias, zinnias, and other floriferous joys are sorely missed when the cooler weather starts to drag on.
So here's a little reminder to myself and anyone else out there this week that if you have a chance to take a moment to stop and smell the roses, take it. And maybe take a photo or five, too.

@theandreaborden Beautiful! Right now I’m wishing I was not living in an oven for the last 2+ months. We sneak out in the morning and around dusk to survey, tinker with the plants and weeds, many of the former struggling and would be gone if not for our attention which mostly includes generous doses of water. Some plants are amazing in their ability to withstand the burn. 🤔
@AnarchoNinaWrites@oliphant.social Try “consciousness”… but now I’ve ruined it haven’t I? 🥸

@MikeDunnAuthor@kolektiva.social I don’t want to believe the first half of your quote as an infallible rule. WWII was fought to take down fascism and after that were several decades of moving in a better direction, at least my perception. But for 40 yrs in the USA, we are witnessing how the Right Wing is no longer supporting democratic principles, but moving towards fascism, dystopia, cheat to win, destroy the concept of equality in all its applications. So the struggle continues.🤔

The may be the saddest, most frustrating article I've read in a while. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/12/world/middleeast/israel-women-rights.html
