Neurodiverse stay-at-home mom who is rarely at home. Girl Scouts is my special interest. As a troop leader, day camp volunteer coordinator, council trainer and leader convention director, I really should get paid for these hours, but I don’t.

15 years on and Minecraft is not only a household name, but also still one of the most widely played games around: https://www.geeknative.com/168620/whats-the-true-scale-of-minecraft-like-in-real-world-terms-fun-video-from-corridor-crew/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica-GNBlogWave2
What's the true scale of Minecraft like in real-world terms? [Fun video from Corridor Crew]

Following the release of the Minecraft movie trailer (which also prompted this fan-made animated version), the Corridor Crew gang decided to make a pretty cool video exploring the true scale of the world in which Minecraft is based - and it's a great watch!

Universal basic income mitigates tunneling, meaning that people are more able to think beyond just one focus. The need to earn survival income tends to function like blinders that block out everything else but your focus on basic needs. Until they're obtained, it's difficult to think beyond.

MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle reported that Trump spoke 39 times for a total of 41.9 minutes, to Harris’ 23 times for a total of 37.1 minutes.
Yes, Trump shot himself in the foot by opening him mouth. HOWEVER, it still speaks volumes that even in such a controlled environment, women’s voices are suppressed. The moderators felt okay giving Trump extra time again and again. #balancedtime #mediaaccountability #womensvoicesmatter

Let's try this again:

All y'all are going to have to vote like you will never be allowed to (meaningfully) vote for a president again, because now the path has absolutely been laid for that to happen. That means voting against the GOP this election, at every level. And then every single election after that too, because all the GOP's cards are on the table now, and what they say is "fuck democracy, and fuck you too."

More white women voted for Trump than Clinton in 2016.

More white women voted for Trump than Biden in 2020. In fact, Trump's margin of victory with white women, grew.🤷🏿‍♂️

More young white people (18 to 29) voted for Trump than Clinton in 2016.

More young white people voted for Trump than Biden in 2020. In fact, Trump's margin of victory with young white people grew.🤷🏿‍♂️

But you don't see people cursing out white women online and then blocking them, like they do to Black men.

You know why.

When the fuck is Joe Biden gonna expand the SCOTUS? Or is he just waiting for "all of us to just come together and get along, gosh darnit," while everyone's rights get destroyed?

Just returned from a fun camping trip with my daughter to #SilverFallsStatePark. It was absolutely gorgeous! The #naturetrail by the camp ground was a one mile treasure with so many blooming flowers. I loved using my #iPhone for #PlantID. The swipe up to identify a flower was so useful. My new favorite!

If you ever thought to yourself, "Wow, I'm pretty sure the OMD synthpop hit 'If You Leave' from the Pretty In Pink soundtrack would actually sound really good as a 50s-style rockabilly ballad," then you will be gratified to know that Paul and Storm and I had EXACTLY the same thought, and actually made JUST THAT VERSION of this very song. In fact, we made this just for you. You're welcome. We love you.
