RE: https://climatejustice.social/@ketan/117001974244089760 I’ve been feeling this photograph for decades. The feeling always reminded me of HG2TG - The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, where people go to watch and be entertained by the end of everything. Some of my paintings give me that feeling. People just carrying on as the world burns around them. As if eons of life struggling to evolve, be, then be destroyed on our watch, by our hands, is meaningless. We are the worst thing to hap...

It’s not lost on me that an occupation is an actual occupation of our time by capitalism. By the denial of common and abundant resources through theft, violence, colonization, subjugation, to use for themselves. To give us busy work, occupy our time. Our waking hours. Our life. All to center them, work for them to rise, and not rise yourselves. Instead of serving community,the planet, we serve a handful of overlords to our destruction.

Doug Ford & Avi Lewis on CNN regarding Trump’s response to the fires. Avi is absolutely nailing it. Telling the truth. Not mincing words. Had me cheering at the end. And Doug Ford really expressed the USA & Canada friendship between our people. I thought that was good.He asked for help. I mean Trump might not want to help, but don’t any states want to? They were begging us to visit & stop our boycotts. We were there for them. https://youtu.be/tx8PwtGsTSk #usa #canada #Trump #on...

Taylor Farms owns 57% of produce in America. (Sold in Canada too). Boycotting & avoiding them is going to be difficult and they are not being forthcoming or transparent about what is infected, or where it was sent. https://youtu.be/ra2YTqTMLig

I recently read that Gwyneth Paltrow was into Mme. Blavatsky and it totally makes sense. Gwyneth is the embodiment of Hermione in Don Marquis’ bitingly funny Hermione And Her Little Group of Serious Thinkers. Don Marquis has long been one of my most favorite writers, known for his Archy & Mehitabel comic poetry. A humanist humorist. https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/776 #bookstodon #books

While Ontario burns, Carney is getting taxpayers to fund more oil production and greenwashing solutions like carbon capture. Canadians must organize and fast, to survive this Carney regime. To have anything worthwhile left. To get us back on track to meet climate change. He doesn’t care about Canada at all. These greedy people will happily kill us all. https://youtu.be/mqeRkxVWGPo

I am pretty sure I had a boss who did that behind his desk while I was in his office on the other side. I couldn’t be sure and I couldn’t say anything. But if I was in those kinds of positions today, I would ask for accommodations and that they keep their hands above the cape, desk, etc. Men make living as a woman so hard. The more you know, the more is shitty. It’s not like you learn more and it’s good stuff. No, it’s massive heaps of shitty men. https://youtube.com/shorts/lNAxW_v__es #SA

I bought washing soda bc I’d heard good things about its eco friendly cleaning power, from a pro cleaner & I’m so impressed. You can use a tiny amount of dish soap or laundry detergent & use washing soda to boost it. My kitchen towels which get the dirtiest are spotless. My bathroom towels are fluffier & brighter. I sprayed a mix with mostly water & a tiny amount of the washing soda & my mirrors are streak free. Great with toilet too. It’s just amazing stuff. Super cheap. Ge...

Most people want someone else to fight their battles. They will bystand. They will be distressed. But say and do nothing. They are hoping someone else will. Someone should. Just not them. And when someone does, they criticize them to tell them they didn’t do it right. They tone police & have no suggestion of better solutions. These ppl work for the enemy of the people. They have a lot to say to us resisting oppression of tyrants, & nothing to say to the tyrant in their midst.

The confederate flag was flown on King Charles private estate at Sandringham. They try to pretend like it was not “racially motivated” GTFO. Abolish the monarchy. They are corrupt beyond redemption. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzAgq_QnC1Y #racism #UK

My guess is Lich McConnard is in a coma. They don’t have to announce his death, &amp; can’t say how long this will last, when he’ll be back, etc. so they are saying nothing that gives any insight or information to his constituents. I think they’ll just use him like this, keep him on life support as long as possible. A corpse with power.

This is a good idea. It’s something. I’d love to see more repair cafes, stitch &amp; bitch gatherings, too though. I think that builds more community and you learn to repair in novel and creative ways. But all efforts to prevent waste is great. https://youtu.be/xKv4MOo0S4A?si=hkkvU73_VE5EVajg #fashion #repair #france

Trump turning the dark reflecting pool to make it blue to look like a swimming pool is the dumbest ugliest idea. His imagination so limited to pools are blue.

I went to the Aga Khan museum yesterday for the first time and I found it very inaccessible visually. Everything is in rooms so dark you have to strain your eyes and so much of the work are miniatures. So fine and small and hardly visible even if the light were good. They really need magnifiers on a string so people can properly see and appreciate what is on display especially if they aren’t going to light them better…
