Help Elect Marlene Galán-Woods...

The data center in Pima County has been quite the experience.

The judge won’t be issuing a written ruling.

Pima County judge tosses lawsuit over Project Blue data center rezoning

To reiterate: fuck these lying scumbags. Their platform is fossil fuels and data centers and backdoor deals with monopolies. “Dark money groups are spending heavily…”—you mean you, you grubby quisling little fuckers? The gall to plaster solar panels on this ad and claim to offer a “cleaner energy future,” and to projectively scare-monger about funding sources. Every Phoenician should be personally offended by this, they think you’re rubes. Eligible voters, please don’t prove them right.

FYI, there’s just a couple days left in Phoenix’s SRP election! This is what the 10 million Turning Point USA signs plastered all over the valley are about.
Those signs tell you which candidates are fascist dirtbags who want to kill your neighbors for data center money, but who should you vote *for*?
Behold! The janky low-budget website of the clean energy folks who need your votes!

(PS!! It’s too late to mail in your ballot because post-marking doesn’t count anymore, so you’ll have to drop it off or vote in person!)

So I have been mentioning a side project. Before I get to that I want to say Thanks again for the immaculate vibes we have here. Having this space where we focus on visual art has made it possible for me to consciously engage and disengage from the news - your cat pictures are keeping me sane.

In fact, this was one of the places I turned when I quit #Reddit for good, the day a child molester was reelected president of the united states. At the time, I didn't know what to do, but I knew the feeling of helpless rage that I got from #doomscrolling was the opposite of what I needed.

Giving up Reddit for #Pixelfed was a change of time but also of feeling, exchanging time crawling deeper into despair for time spent gazing into the faces of flowers. Connecting to love of nature like this really helped me let go of the wrong idea that I'm a powerless spectator. What I have learned from #Pixelfed is that we can take our power back, right now, if we just stop letting them make us angry.

But it wasn't all #florespondence. I also joined my local #Democratic Party as a precinct committee person. If you don't like the way things are, don't get mad, get involved. I got involved where I live, in Oracle, #Arizona. Love for our homes is something thing lots of us have in common here, and I love Arizona! But I don't love our legislature.

So, that's my side project! I am running for office in the most beautiful place in the world, and I am bringing my camera. Specifically, I am running for the State House of Representatives in Arizona's 7th Legislative District.
I stand for fairness and democracy, and if elected I'll work for the people to make Arizona fair for everyone.

When the AZ GOP isn't trying to reduce anti-fraud funding or remove citizens' right to influence government through the initiative process, they are passing legislation to ban "chemtrails".

"One speaker who said he was a doctor, said large commercial-sized jets, outfitted with special tanks, are spraying strontium, aluminum, barium and mercury at high altitudes worldwide."

These nutters are everywhere.
