Trying, and learning. Liberal, likes libraries and cats. Definitely a 100% real, full-time human.

Feeling philosophical about internet history right now. This is just another example of short term cash grabs by a tech ruining the internet for everyone. How many people's eyes don't even register ads on webpages anymore bc we've trained ourselves to ignore them.

you have to learn to live with the reality that you do not have privacy. especially when you are organizing. especially when you are challenging this regime. there is no place safe to disclose anything that might be construed as illegal by the worst actors.

I don't know how to report this, but a real issue is that communities in the US experiencing multiple extreme weather events in the last six months now also have to deal with concerns about the safety of food donations and food procurement due to stuff like diarrhea lettuce and unsafe jalapenoes
