I can quit drinking and I can quit smoking but all willpower is out the door when thereโ€™s a pack of Oreos in the house.

The #HatueyProject is sending #medical aid to #Cuba during the effects of the #hurricane. Cuba has a proud history of sending doctors to poor and disaster-stricken areas worldwide for free, through the #HenryReeveBrigade. They are able to do this despite brutal #sanctions by the #USA. But the sanctions still severely limit Cuba's ability to provide for its people. The Hatuey Project works in this need. You can #donate on their website below:

A reminder that Facebook created โ€˜newsworthinessโ€™ as a loophole for accepting hate speech specifically to allow Trump content to proliferate there in 2016. Billionaires are foaming at the mouth at the possibility of a Trump return.

I really like that this #fujifilm EVO is making me be more intentional with which pictures I store and go back to look through.

Hereโ€™s the first printed shot, of course it had to be my Tribble #cat ๐Ÿ˜…

Back on #mastodon now as my only form of social media. Have been going through a bit of a digital detox, which feels amazing but strange since my day job is #php / web development.

A month ago I purchased a #dumbphone and have been loving it. Now Iโ€™ve just acquired a #fujifilm EVO to take photos when Iโ€™m without my smartphone.

Going on a 2 week trip Nov 1st and will try to use only my dumb phone and camera the whole trip, but Iโ€™ll be back on Mastodon after.

Climate crisis on track to push one third of humanity out of its most livable environment.

One third.

And that's a conservative lower bound. Paper says 3-6 billion people.

Climate Crisis Is on Track to Push One-Third of Humanity Out of Its Most Livable Environment

As conditions that best support life shift toward the poles, more than 600 million people are already living outside of a crucial โ€œclimate niche,โ€ facing more extreme heat, rising food scarcity and higher death rates.

When I say my life is divided into two very distinct sections, most people I know would assume Iโ€™m talking about pre and post transplant, when in reality I think of the two main sagas as pre and post pineapple on pizza.
