Me: Yes.
Her: What is it like?
Me: Imagine putting your money into a gumball machine but not getting a gumball

When healthy vegetables and greens are tainted by #PFAS https://www.greenmatters.com/health-and-wellness/pfas-kale - this is far from an isolated issue. Soil, water and air are all polluted. Everything including ourselves, polluted despite efforts to always eat #vegan or #vegetarian, recycle, lower carbon footprint. This is not a reason to abandon good choices - but rather be aware of how plastics are systematically killing us all. https://www.npr.org/2022/06/15/1105222327/epa-drinking-water-chemicals-pfas-pfoa-pfos #DrinkingWater #chemicals #pollution #plastics

Alabama Republicans Send Congressional Map Without Second Majority-Black District to Governor

July 21, 2023

UPDATE: On Friday, July 21, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey (R) signed the new congressional map into law.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — On Friday, July 21, the Alabama House voted 75-28 to pass a new congressional map without a second majority-Black district in defiance of a federal district court order.

This new plan, called “Livingston Congressional Plan 3,” was passed by a conference committee and the Alabama Senate earlier today, so it will now head to Gov. Kay Ivey (R) for her signature. This plan has a Black Voting Age Population of 39.93% in the state’s 2nd Congressional District and 50.65% in the 7th Congressional District.

This cruel dumb "candidate" has completely
LOST CONTROL of his messaging from inside or outside.
He/his team are too undereducated to identify NAZI symbols.
Or maybe that’s what they stand for.

I strongly recommend following @Deglassco, particularly if you are a non-Black American. You will learn all the things about Black American history that they did not teach you in high school, or probably even in college. And she ends each long thread with a bibliography for those who want to learn more on the subject. No other account has made me wish for an “unroll” function on Mastodon. I wish I could save each thread as a PDF.

If you hold a Big Mac up to your ear you can hear the sound of an employee telling you the ice cream machine is broken.

"🌲 there is no such thing as too many #trees."

In principle, I agree.
In practice, actually there is: too many eucalyptus trees. If I remember correctly, their roots go deeper than those of most other trees, thus robbing them of water.

Pence is 'nakedly lying' about Trump's intent on Jan. 6: Former Homeland Security aide https://www.rawstory.com/mike-pence-nakedly-lying/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

So last week our friend B hated Asteroid City, this evening Tom found Indiana Jones “tedious”. I agree that there were way too many car/motorbike/train/tuk tuk/plane chases and there was a heck of a lot of knocking out people with a single punch. Still, it’s good to remind younger viewers that Nazis are actually bad and deserve punching. Overall I found it quite entertaining and would give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Brilliant.

👋 to all of my #trans & #LGTBQ friends. We need to talk about the cis-het progressive/liberal problem, and I hope that you might be able to help me get through to the ones in my life.

I spent a few days with some old friends that I haven't seen in a while. At one point, Jason Aldean and #TransRights both came up in conversation. These people are solid #Democratic voters that hate all things #MAGA. They also happen to be Jewish, which I would think should make them sensitive to #fascism.

They don't watch #FeauxNews or any other right wing bullshit. They do, however, consume #Facebook & #Instagram feeds daily. It was their impression that trans people are forcing other people to use pronouns and make special arrangements for them. They also think that people uncomfortable with trans people should be free to bunk at camp in a cabin without trans people in it.

I 💯% know and believe that #TransRightsAreHumanRights but how can I more effectively pierce their myopic bubble?

🙏 Thanks

You ever read this? Might partially explain how we got here.
