Mark HarbingerLiteracy isn't just being able to read. It's knowing how to read with empathy and not solely as a narcissistic exercise...otherwise, it becomes pointless at best—and, at worst, unhealthy.

Sand Hill ThicketHow do we #protest?
We #WearAnN95 indoors in public places. We don't dine indoors, go to concerts, or sports games. We take a "vacation" every 5 years, otherwise we #StayHome. I depressed my wages/left the #workforce because I didn't want to work for the rich, wealthy, or #oligarchs. We went from 2 incomes to 1. We #homestead as much as we can. We have a #SolarArray & drive a #hybrid. We eat #EthicalMeat. We have a #garden 3 seasons out of the year.
We consume less than in the #BeforeTimes.

Looking at photos of myself with friends from the #BeforeTimes it's really quite difficult to accept how good we had it. Looking at photos of being in crowds in the BTs now gives me the hebbie jebbies.

MFennVT has movedHuh. So, back in the day (the #BeforeTimes), you could visit #Amazon and listen to samples of #songs before deciding whether you wanted to buy. Apparently, that's not the case anymore. Now (starting I don't know when) if you want to listen to a sample of a particular track, you must have a paid membership.
I continue to be reminded of why I shop there as rarely as possible. #LateStageCapitalism is, besides cruel and hateful, just plain stupid. But enough people fall for it, unfortunately.

the #beforetimes argument has true validity, granted.
camping is not what it used to be either. reality sucks.
