Ok so you know how in the Nightmare Before Christmas, everyone in Halloween Town just cannot comprehend anything about Christmas and tries to understand it through the lens of Halloween?

That but cars instead of Halloween and good cities instead of Christmas.

The privatization of public services and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. 

Seriously considering the possibility that my mother's #generation (born mid-1940s) might be the last that could be naturally happy without some kind of medical/chemical intercession. Some horrible things happened to my mom, but she also had many reasons to be happy. She was rarely #depressed, and her faith in #God was strong and abiding.

I can see reasons to be grateful, but it's difficult to conjure up natural sources of happiness now - and virtually impossible to believe in a loving god.

okay here's a rundown of the fediverse

πŸ–€ there's no ads, everything is mostly run by volunteers because they believe in it

πŸ–€ timelines are chronological, there's no algorithm deciding what you see. to see more, follow peeps and hashtags (and post in em, too!)

πŸ–€ this place is SOCIAL social media, as opposed to the corporate social media you're probably used to. most are here to interact, not build clout

welcome to fedi!!! happy to have ya 😁

This is the future that urbanists want.
Friendly reminder that we humans know how to solve world hunger and have the means to do so. It's just holed up in the assets of the rich.

Thus, eat the rich!
Today I rode my bike to get something to drink, since the neighborhood gas station only takes cash and I didn't have any. I swear to God every other car was a dump truck or other construction vehicle (from the nearby highway construction). It was heavy two directional traffic the whole way, without even disconnected sidewalks!

Plus the size drink I got was too big to fit in the cupholder on my bike so I had to put it in the basket and find something to try to hold it in place.

Not worth it.

Can we get a petition (or a lot of them?) to purge out the North Carolina General Assembly? I'm getting really tired of the Republican supermajority. They're not representing us, they're just going full fascist.

I
am seeking legal advice on this one. I do not have the ability to mobilize or gather signatures but I can write the damn petition if I have to.
