Boss: Why is your work only 80% complete?

Me: Oh, yes! There’s a very good explanation for that.

In my last performance review, you noted that I was exceeding all expectations, but that you were only giving me a 4 out of 5 because you “never give 5s” because “there’s always room for improvement.”

As a result, I’ve taken the initiative to deliver at 4/5 capacity to ensure I’m performing according to your expectations.

As we’ve already established, I’m easily capable of performing at and above 100%, so please let me know once you’ve adjusted my performance rating to a 5 and I will adjust my performance accordingly.

According to Greek Mythology, Chiron was a half horse, half human doctor.

This made him the Centaur for Disease Control.

At least 2,442 Ukrainian children have been taken to Belarus since the beginning of full-scale invasion.

These children (between the ages of 6 and 17) have been deported to at least 13 facilities in Belarus.

They underwent a process of "re-education", where they were propagandized with cultural, historical, social, and patriotic ideas that "meet the political interests" of the regimes in Belarus and Russia.

Some of the children have undergone military training. #AureFreePress #Ukraine

Most people radically underestimate the role that misogyny played and plays in online far right radicalization, and Gamergate was *the* critical turning point for the far right using online misogynist culture as an on-ramp into the far right.

Here’s my dream…

After the shocking events of 2023, all the terrible heat waves, droughts, floods, and wildfires, all the frightening reports of ice melt and ocean temperatures going off the charts — as we watch our old familiar climate breaking down right in front of our eyes, this leads to a critical mass of people realizing it’s time now for ACTION, for coordinated civil disobedience at a level never known before.

In my dream, you and I and everyone around us will begin stockpiling food and basic supplies and organizing voluntary systems of local community care in preparation for a general strike.

And when that strike begins:

⦿ No one goes to work
⦿ No one buys anything
⦿ No one pays any bills

If a wide-scale action like this could last at least a month, or even better two or three months, then I think we *might* have a chance of getting our demands met.

That’s my dream. CLIMATE REVOLUTION!
