Allison ParrishClimate change is a danger to you and your family. You can feel in your gut how the weather is changing for the worse, and the people who keep track of the weather agree with you. The lawyers and executives for Big Oil companies don't care about your family—just about making money. And they're using every bureaucratic trick in the book to get in the way of you exercising your right to take action to keep your family safe. Don't let them.
Gadfly (-booq-)Cons of looking at weird fringe internet-based politics:
- I mentally overestimate how significant (culturally or otherwise) those ideas are, because of exposure;
- I don't get most of it and I feel a slight pressure to spend time getting it when it would almost definitely not be worth it
Pros of looking at weird fringe internet-based politics:
- I get to see tweets like "unmute me reactionary coward"
EllieNever forget: most of us have been poisoned by a toxic educational system that teaches us systematically that failing at a task or not knowing a correct answer is shameful.
There is no inherent shame in failure, in not knowing, or in being wrong, and we shouldn't actively shame others for it.
Get back up, learn something new, and try again.

If we find said caretakers I may stick around in some kind of emeritus capacity, but as demonstrated by my disappearance it's not a good idea for me to be a single point of anything around here.

Hello Wandering Shoppers! This will probably be a bit of a thread, so buckle in! In April 2017, @Annalee and I started this mastodon instance, because twitter had done something stupid (honestly, who can even remember what), and there was a lot of excitement around this new software called Mastodon written by this person called @[email protected]. Annalee suggested using the wandering.shop domain, so that we could bring in SFF writers and those who wanted a home on the internet with a theme
Amazeyif you were wondering what happens when oulipo.social (doesn't allow the letter E) meets dolphin.town (only allows the letter E): https://dolphin.town/users/e/updates/2643
@[email protected] Indeed! As I mentioned elsewhere in the thread https://mastodon.social/@brainwane/108215620455880930 that's currently the most likely choice
