Hi everyone! New to the Fediverse and learning as I go. Damn glad to be here. Somewhat nerdy introvert. Interests are #socialjustice, #womensrights, #savingtheearth, #nature, #animals, especially #cats, #horror, #yoga and #spirituality, etc.

Profile picture is a T-Rex with it’s mouth open looking like it’s about to eat a man in biking clothes who is kicking at it, and a woman in biking clothes holding both of her hands up to shield herself and looking surprised.

According to my calculations, based on weight and how much is left, I have eaten 5 lbs of watermelon in the past 24 hours. 👀

Definitely in the mood to fuck off into the mountains and never come back.

I want to wear all of these around the house like Mrs. Roper from Three’s Company.

There are a lot of things we could do to put it out.

Are any of them free? No, of course not. Nothing's free, you idiots!

The National Weather Service did its job in Texas, with advanced warnings even in the middle of the night.
If officials want better warnings, Congress and Trump shouldn't be dismantling NOAA, the NWS, weather and climate research, and new models, monitoring, and technology.

Fairbanks, AK. Crews were laying new power cables which were strung on the ground for miles. The moose are rutting right now and very agitated. He was thrashing around and got his antlers stuck in the cables. When the men (miles away) began pulling the lines up with their big equipment, the moose went up with them. They noticed excess tension in the lines and went searching for the problem. He was still alive when they lowered him to the ground. He was a huge 60 inch bull and slightly teed off!

@ikonha
There is a 'game' on steam that was popular for a while, called Quiet Words, that was basically just ... sending kind messages to anonymous people.

I also sometimes just go to talk with/help total strangers anonymously via other mechanisms, in tiny ways, it helps retain my sanity. Would recommend.

Makes me remember that people in general are worth it, even when it seems like they, i, or we aren't.

@streetartutopia Je moet je eigen lokale en landelijke politici eens vragen waarom dat niet gebeurt. De uitvluchten zijn dan niet van de lucht en daar zit het probleem. De politici, bla, blabla, blablabkabla.

I barely make it by month to month, I have grossly inadequate retirement investments, and no healthcare. Yet I'm paying 30 times as much of my money in taxes as this parasite?

Facts like these challenge my views on pacifism and peaceful protest.

@streetartutopia What's the source for the 1.1%?

US billionaires usually don't have much of an income. They borrow until they die, because US tax law is stupid that way.

Amazon shares pay zero dividends, and Bezos no longer works there.

@newstik @streetartutopia I wonder who does his tax returns?

His wealth increased, not his income. This feature of Capitalism is what creates billionaires, you don’t have to have any income to increase wealth. In his case if he was a country he would rank 56th just ahead of Hungary in GDP. Greater than 49 of the poorest countries combined. It would probably take all the resources the IRS has to ‘audit’ Bezos return so I am surprised he bothers to pay anything.

@Grovewest @streetartutopia So, again, what is the source of "1.1% tax" claim?

If he has no income, his tax rate is infinite.

Grovewest Jun 28

@newstik @streetartutopia Yea, that 1.1% tax claim sounds like something made up.

@streetartutopia His assets are probably enough for around 4500 more weddings of this size. Assuming a life expectancy of 100 years, that would be enough for comparably lavish weddings every -- do you sit? -- every 3 to 4 days.

@streetartutopia I did a little back of the envelope calculation comparing #Bezos' net worth to mine and how much I spent on the last birthday #party I organised. My conclusion was that #Bezos is a cheapskate. If I spent the same percentage of my net worth on my party as #Bezos did on his nth wedding, it would have been a bag of chips and a glass of water each.
