Our fundamental problem is capitalism.

As an environmentalist, I tend not to buy things that I don't need. My daughter knows better than to ask for lemonade at the fair because it'll come in plastic. We brought water bottles for a reason. She can drink that perfectly fine.

She knows I get annoyed at grandma buying all that plastic trash from the dollar store because it gets played with a few days and turn into landfill.

This behaviour is terrible for the economy. The big businesses need infinite economic growth. They need us to buy 3% more trash a year. We have so much stuff that there are industries making legit coin storing our trash that we will realistically never use again. We have entire sectors that make a lot of money off of throwing out our trash for us.

Environmentalism means that many of these new industries will disappear very quickly. It means that fossil fuel billionaires will lose a lot of wealth very quickly.

Does this sound like a system that will change because we sent some politicians backed by rich people to a summit somewhere to talk about it?

The reality is that billionaires' wealth is at stake and they would take complete social and ecological collapse before a dent in their wealth. They want the entire ship to go down believing that they have enough flotation devices they'll come back out on top.

It's not that billionaires don't believe in climate change. They just lied to enough people to convince them of it. They plan on taking advantage of climate change eliminating a lot of the population so they have more resources for themselves.

This is nothing short of murder with a borrowed hand.

#asknostr with attempts like eu #chatcontrol what are the best way to do DMs with friends and family? What do you use?

I had a weirdo who was impersonating me on nostr and started sending sexualized imagery (some real images/ some synthetic) of me to any man who followed and commented. They did that for a while then they invited someone to my house while impersonating me. That was terrifying but in a way I’m grateful that it happened because I was able to see the darker side of what is possible here.

Outside of that one skitzo running multiple accounts to harass me, it’s been absolutely lovely here. The people are great and I’ve met a ton in person now. 💜 nostr:note1wkwxgrv3l06f5aj0vrcj6sdvpz4zgxu6trv80fz6xq5hgshey06svd6kmh

Hello Nostr friends, check out our movement of freedom fighters from autocratic countries worldlibertycongress.org we hope to on board our global network to this protocol in the upcoming weeks.

Slave labor. Seriously, tipping has its roots in slavery. It's a crime to pay waiters $2.00 an hour, then requiring them to share their tips via tip-pooling and expecting the customers to make up the difference. Fucking criminal.

Thanks!

Toumaj Salehi, an Iranian rapper, has been sentenced to death by the regime of the mullahs. He has been outspoken in his protest poetry against the inequality, injustice, and tyranny inflicted by the regime on the Iranian people.

In 2012, when he took to the streets to protest, he was arrested and subjected to severe torture. However, after about a year, he was released and posted a video documenting the brutal treatment he endured in prison. Just one day after the video was released, he was re-imprisoned and tortured again. Today, his lawyer announced his death sentence to the media. We, the people of Iran, are outraged. Do not follow the Iranian news from your medias; they all lie. We are the real narrators and eyewitnesses to the unfortunate events that occur in Iran every day.

Lol. No.

And you called me delusional.

Biology is far more expansive than black and white, this or that, the sex is a boy or girl. A dick makes a man, a vaginal makes a woman.

Take intersex people (people born with ambiguous genitalia), for example. Those on this spectrum are about as common as people with red hair.

"Intersex is an umbrella term used to describe a wide range of natural variations that affect genitals, gonads, hormones, chromosomes, or reproductive organs. Sometimes these characteristics are visible at birth, sometimes they appear at puberty, and sometimes they are not physically apparent at all."

Historically, doctors have assigned intersex babies a gender at birth and performed mutilation surgeries based on appearance and size. This has led to doctors assigning the wrong sex based on nothing more than apoearance. People have committed suicide as a result of this genital mutilation.

"The Phall-O-Meter is a satirical representation of the way that clinicians have historically determined whether visibly intersex children should be assigned female (and subjected to feminizing surgeries) or assigned male (and subjected to masculinizing surgeries). It was created by the Intersex Society of North America, based on research by Susan Kessler (1998):

In general, medical standards do not allow clitorises larger than .9 centimeters (about 3/8 of an inch). … [An image showing ranges of medically acceptable infant clitoral and penile lengths reveals] that intermediate area of phallic length that neither females nor males are permitted to have."

I encourage you to do your own research into biology, sex, and gender. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about, yet you say it so confidently.

Have a good one.

The mental gymnastics people use to make Trump into some sort of 4d chess playing genius are completely retarded, but the mental gymnastics to pretend that he isn't being railroaded by a totally corrupt legal system are worse.

We live in a banana republic.

PSA: If you were born with a penis, then however you feel is a way that a man can feel. If you were born with a vagina, then however you feel is a way that a woman can feel.

It's completely insane that with zero standard for comparing feelings across sexes or even between any two people, some will claim that they feel like something they aren't. Accept the things you cannot change. You can like whatever you want to like & live however you want to live, but you cannot change who & what you are. Trying to do so will only destroy your life.
