A student accuses @jk_rowling of being transphobic. This teacher dissects the claim and challenges it by asking questions.
He teaches not what to think, but how to think critically.. Epiphany in real-time.
I don't know who Jk Rowling is, but I love the way this man rationally humbled the student with real critical-thinking. Moar.
I loved this!! What an awesome teacher
incredibly beautiful!
I have no idea who this person is, but props for such a full apology.
Images stopped loading in Apple Music today while nostr:npub1mea2vwcu06qf7e4x00wd902vj54qnn2jacq76ldntrgfhtvhlpqqrvqane VPN is active (always). Cool.
They really are pushing it.
I suspect there's going to be more of this. Much easier to discourage VPNs this way than to outright ban them.

Also - welcome to Nostr, Kendra!
Yes, totally agree. Given the dysfunctional system, I know where I'd prefer the money go. But without the dysfunctional system, we wouldn't need the subsidies (not because we'd magically have utopia, but because it would allow for a healthy economic ecosystem).
I'm actually not sure if it's open source (probably not?) but I love Obsidian. You can cross-reference notes as much as you want, so that you could - for instance - take an insight from soil biology and link it to something happening in your local community AND to a note about sheep fodder AND to a series of notes about your compost experiments AND to your 2024 pasture plans - without ever moving the individual notes into folders.
I know that you asked about segregation, and Obsidian can do that (folders, vaults) but the magic of cross-pollinating your knowledge and ideas is that you don't have to do that unless you have a particularly compelling reason to. You can avoid creating silos for ideas.
Also the notes live on your device in a simple format (I don't remember what it's called - markdown text, maybe?)
Yes - if suicide is caused by energy drinks (bad as they may in fact be) then we don't have to worry about it being caused by propagandized ideology, processed food, lack of sunlight and exercise, lockdowns, medicalization of mental health, psychiatric drugs, a fiat economy, etc.
Great points about folks picking a side. I think it's been one of the main sources of complete bewilderment as I watch the last few years and it explains so much of the mess that we see around us.
Regarding farmer protests: I keep debating this question in my head. Subsidies distort the market - no doubt - but we're talking about citizen money that used to go to farming and now will go to windmills and bureaucracy. Within our current system, I'd rather that $ go to farmers, especially in Europe where most farms are much smaller than they are in the US - I think? - and where govt policies seem to have sort of worked in keeping good food available to the public.
But of course keeping the subsidies further entrenches certain powers and moves us further from free markets, small actors, and innovation. I don't know... whenever I get to this point in thinking about something it just re-affirms to me the importance of building a new system.
Good morning, beautiful Nostr folks!
I was doing fine before coming here but am so happy to have found this community. Feels good to interact online with a group of folks whose thoughts I genuinely want to hear.
Hope you all have a great day.

I love her smile 🥰
occasionally they wrap themselves around their stake but it's not usually a big problem. The brush that they're in isn't that intense, though. It was probably bush-hogged just before we got the land about 2 years ago.
Regenerative > sustainable 🤩
I've recently realized that one of the best things I can do for the environment is eat ruminant meat from our homestead or a nearby regenerative farm.
nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe : "regulators protect the monopolies"
Using Ivan Illich’s idea of radical monopolies to extend that insight: the establishment protects not just the corporations that dominate certain industries but the arbitrary assumptions which underlie those industries.
For example, FDA protects specific pharmaceutical companies, but the entire establishment - media, politicians, schools - defends the medicalization of our health.
It goes so much deeper than the regulatory capture that we often complain about.
