Negativity bias has a bunch of people immediately gravitating to believing the worst about folks. YET in reality, most people are pretty decent and are trying to live their lives. Folks buy into the "people are terrible" hype and that only serves other terrible people.

Trust me, I feel this. Deeply. I don’t promise to have it figured out. But I am blocking two hours a day for what I call “this shit here”: the headlines from the majors, the 9 or so newsletters in areas I follow, a scroll through my subscribed content in Gmail, & then I clock back out.

Discovered this plush ditto sylveon and she is far too relatable

Just got a call from the vet, she’s confirmed the intestinal blockage and is going into surgery between today and tomorrow, gave me an estimate cost of $600 on top of the hospitalization costs We need all the help we can get

My comments that you're quoting do not reflect my current thinking. I have been learning. Evolving. I can mimic a tree branch to avoid predators now.

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

Will line trimming season ever end 😑 I'd rather be spending my days cleaning up leaves tbh 🌱

this says a lot about society

Only 16% of you are reading for pleasure? I know there's a lot of entertainment out there, but reading can help you take yourself out of the world where everything's on a screen. And make good things happen inside you. So renew that library card & get cracking.

can’t emphasize enough how funny the video is

YALL PLEASE DO NOT COME ONTO MY POSTS ABOUT GARDENING TO TELL ME ABOUT HOW YOU WANT TO HARM HOUSELESS PEOPLE I shouldn't have to say this!

A lanky first-year crow that is mid molt is a HUGE MOOD. So awkward looking, so disheveled. 🪶

I guess I need to grow collard greens every year. Why are they so beautiful??? 🌱

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

a key reason they see an opening for such a blatant speech crackdown is that they already did one to Palestinian and anti-genocide activists and it got enthusiastic bipartisan approval

having feelings is so fucking tiring lol

My sunflowers didn't get very big this year (my soil needs some love), but they're CUTE AF regardless 🌱

If you'd like to follow some other trans people who work with nature too, I made a helpful starter pack! It's not exclusively scientists and it's opt-in so let me know if you'd like to be added.

My new shirt design is a very serious PSA that I was asked to make, because apparently a lot of people don't know. roryblank.bigcartel.com

Just FYI: while CDC is no longer tracking much of anything, wastewater data is still being reported. COVID-19 levels have just been nationally upgraded to “high”

Does anyone know of a mutual aid in/near Seattle that would like a used bicycle? I want someone to have it for $0 and maybe there's a group out there that's connecting folks with free bikes or needs one for whatever work they're doing. (reposts would help, thx)

Excuse me? What is “traditional political violence”?? Oh, it’s when Lindsey’s people in South Carolina kill black folks, isn’t it?

i am a trans woman who has outlived and got to live longer than Charlie Kirk, and I think that’s beautiful

If youre feeling disoriented by this week's extreme "nothing here worth saving" vibes, it's worth remembering that the memberships, size, employee and supporter base of these institutions have been shrinking for decades, but that has the monopolistic effect of making a small segment seem more total

Our ability to comprehend daily events has been corrupted by a toxic info environment where political & attentional dynamics distort & manipulate our “collective sensemaking” processes. Our “official” sources are now products of that same environment. Reality fractures, along with the social fabric.

I believe in labor unions and am a member. But many romanticize them as if they magically solve things. In academia, job cuts, restructuring, and political repression are happening at schools with faculty and staff unions. Many union members are racist and anti-leftist. The struggle is constant.

Debate is a hobby. It’s not a thing you do to understand another person. Listening is a thing you do to understand someone.

Friends I can confirm that kaiconic is VERY FUNNY, pls give your ears a treat!!

okay, y'all. i have basically one shot at top surgery, might as well try. if i can't raise these funds, then i can't get the surgery, but. that's where i am now, so what's the harm. assuming i can get funding, this will be used only for stated purposes (details in link). pls share.

From an Atlantic editor. I cannot get over how the entire centrist hivemind is attempting to wish into existence a person, and a movement, that does not exist. You are journalists, you are supposed to describe things as they are, not how you want them to be!

Baffling hagiography here. Kirk was a smirking little youtube bigot, an effective vending machine for the same dogwhistles, conspiracies, and slanders the right has trafficked in for decades. Treating him like he was some kind of intellectual seeking connection is just a lie, and why tell it?

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

When house owners talk about how they bought houses due to the "small neighborhood feel" what they mean is "a place where I don't have to see or tolerate renters" because renters are relegated to busy, filthy arterials outside those "small," "quaint" neighborhoods where they own property.

ATTN FELLOW CANADIANS: An actual MP has created a petition to stop financial discrimination against adult creators by payment processors. You have to confirm your email but thats because its something that can actually be shown to parliament.

What even is a copy machine? #Seattlestreetart #Seattle Seattle

They are falling over themselves about kirks murder because it threatens the current political project of the US and they are dedicated to protecting the current US regime no matter what it is or what else they say and the sooner u learn it the less confused you'll be about who your real friends are

I'm genuinely confused at so much of my feed being filled with "Don't celebrate Charlie Kirk being shot **because** this gives Trump the go ahead to violently crush opposition." Did you mean to add "faster" to the end of that sentence? Like, he wasn't waiting for an impetus. It's happening already

All of these people could ride the convention circuit gravy train forever due to their previous projects. Not one of them is in an "I need to pay my mortgage" situation. Nobody is hard up here. This is really disappointing.

👴🏻"People being pulled over and seized by the government?! Just for the color of their skin?!?! Targeted by law enforcement for their race?!?! This is an outrage! We should not have to live in a country like this! Only Black people should have to live in a country like this! Vote Blue!"🤡

🧵In the past week Israel has bombed: Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Tunisia, Yemen, and now Qatar. In Yemen the prime minister and multiple cabinet members were assassinated. In Qatar the Hamas negotiators who were called there by the US to review a ceasefire proposal were targeted. These are acts of
