Fire season is upon us. I don't like how calm I am about it this year... am I desensitized after all the stress and drama of Calf Canyon Hermit's Peak last year? #nmfire

Janel ComeauI have no idea how long it takes to cross an entire desert on horseback but I bet it's probably enough time to name the horse
Bastian AllgeierA while ago, I read about the psycholgical effect that kicks in when someone tries to fight for a good cause, but then makes a tiny mistake.
We are very hard on hypocrisy because our brains like when things add up.
I.e. a climate activist with a plastic cup triggers much harder than Elon taking a 5 minute flight in his private jet every other day.
The first feels wrong, while the second just meets our expectations.
I can't stop seeng this everywhere ever since.

Highly recommended! https://www.watchduty.org

incredible that we spent decades worrying about dystopias where the government chooses your housing and food, only to end up in an even dumber dystopia where the government simply doesn't care that you can't afford either
