I want to make a simple request from the heart❤️
Anyone who decides to donate to me I hope they ask me for something in return
A prayer for you, mentioning your name with thanks, writing your name on the tent, or anything else
I don’t want to feel like I’m just holding out my hand
I want this support to come in exchange for something I give, something that preserves my dignity
Your support is a human connection before it is money
Thank you to everyone who understands this feeling
#gaza #palestine

Maybe you can’t buy everything local. What one thing can you start buying local? Can you switch from Starbucks to the local coffee shop? Can you switch from Petco to the local pet feed store? Can you switch from Dominoes to a local pizza place?

Maybe you can’t completely de-Google or de-Apple or de-Amazon your life. Can you switch one thing? Can you use DuckDuckGo? Move your passwords to Bitwarden? Open a Fastmail account?

I can’t remember where I saw it, but I feel like today is a good time to revisit the concept of “Vegan + bacon”.

People often avoid making small positive changes because they get caught up in trying to go all the way. For example, “I could never go vegan. I love bacon too much”.

So then go vegan plus bacon. Or vegetarian plus bacon. Or just switch to oat milk and eat more vegetables. Whatever small change you can make is good

It's almost inevitable at this point that ICE will shoot children, on camera, unapologetically, especially with Bovino referring to them as human "shields" against "immigration enforcement."

Because we all know how much Americans and Israelis respect human shields.

Anytime I say #AbolishThePolice someone inevitably comes along and asks “but who will keep us safe without the cops?” and meanwhile thousands of regular people in Minneapolis have spontaneously self-organized a round-the-clock patrol of the city, replete with a city-wide intelligence network and radio dispatch system, to keep themselves safe from violent assaults by the police.

How could Bluesky, a social network that was founded by one of Twitter's founders and run by a CEO who was hired by Twitter's CEO, turn out to be like Twitter?

Who could have seen this coming?!
