Driscoll’s doesn’t actually grow berries. It's a middleman that controls the genetics, reaps the profits, and then shifts blame for safety. A whistleblower alleges the Canadian government repeatedly flagged their berries for exceeding pesticide limits. @moreperfectunion.bsky.social #FoodSafety

As we approach the final Piscean Lunar Eclipse of its cycle (begun Sept, 2024), this piece from 2021 came to mind. Releasing, detaching, and setting boundaries are all essential to living out our strange human lives in fullness and with access to joy; meanwhile, grief is the shadow we must embrace.

"If trans people want a boycott of The New York Times, where's the call to do so?" Here is a declaration laying out how the NYT is a key driver of trans genocide, why boycotts work and why anyone who gives a damn about trans lives and rights must boycott The New York Times.

Boycott The New York Times

For years The New York Times has relentlessly pushed anti-trans propaganda, playing a significant role in the escalating genocide against us. It's far past time for a call to action: anyone who cares ...

transnews.network

Trans people, consider this is a useful source of info any time you need someone to realize how the NYT threatens our existence. Cis people, consider this a wake up call. We welcome individuals and groups to join this call for boycott, or launch their own. Not One Dime to the New York Times!

Sending off others' energy and calling back my own today after seeing a new ND yesterday who will definitely be challenging me to be serious about my healing. It is time. On that note, I have to acknowledge just how cringe I have been in my time - An Accidental Asshole? 😬 Oof. Hard truths are hard.

idk man i just don't think the question is "is ai (claude, chatgpt, etc) useful?" more than it's "can we use ai ethically / safely" and the answer to the latter is no
