Been laying here scrolling with my neck at a terrible angle because I thought the less-cuddly cat actually wanted snuggles for once. He just hopped up to pester me for dinner. I was carefully not scaring off a lump of blankets π€¦ββοΈ

How we talk about an issue dictates how we respond to it. And that is absolutely the case with domestic violence. Last week I wrote about how law enforcement so often responds to a DV homicide with some version of *thereβs no threat to the general public*. Now this. π§΅

We could easily feed, house and provide healthcare to everyone many times over. Overpopulation arguments ignore the elephant in the room, which is the unequal distribution and consumption of resources. The earth can support billions, but it cannot support billionaires.

I understand why people say Jeffrey Epstein didnβt kill himself. I personally think he did, in large part because I think he knew his time was up. No more life of luxury or sweetheart deals or work release deals. No release on bail. Plus, sex offenders are more likely to attempt suicide in custody.

The Silurian Rochester Shale near Middleport, New York has an amazing assemblage of trilobites and crinoids. Calymene niagarense is one of the more common trilobites. This Diacalymene is a close relative, but much rarer. Even partials like this are worth keeping.
