#TransRightsAreHumanRights

I don't know who needs to hear this, but corporations that are raking in record profits shouldn't be jacking up prices on consumers.

Ducking adorable 🥰

You know, nothing's perfect and in any community there are going to be flaws and work needed to improve things, especially in transition periods. That never stops.

Having said that? I f***ing love the fediverse. I'm so glad to be here. I love that I can learn from someone nerding out about gardening, birds, art, medieval history, who knows - it's always a surprise! - and the vast majority of the folks are looking to share their joys rather than tear other people down. You people rock.

When people travel to the past, they worry about radically changing the present by doing something small.

Few people think that they can radically change the future by doing something small in the present.

This is the only real time travel paradox.

Boosts matter. It's how we find each other. There are a lot of tremendously fascinating, cool human beings out here in cyberspace and boosts help us find - and appreciate - each other and that's the whole social media ballgame. Thanks everybody *raises coffee mug* cheers ☕

It’s done! 365 days of recording the local temperature and weather in a knitted scarf.

someone appears to have finally gotten their ducks in a row

I DON'T WANT SELF DRIVING CARS!!!!

✔️ I want boring things like public transit that comes so regularly I don't need to check a schedule.

✔️ I want fast passenger rail so accessible and easy it's preferable to suffering airports.

✔️ I want cities that aren't built around cars-as-default

✔️ I want the country to own it.

#introduction

Living car-free in a beautiful small city in the American Midwest.

Have visited 40+ countries, and have lived in four, but tend to stay closer to home these days. Still interested in learning about other places.

Also love: music; architecture; the outdoors; baked goods; coffee/tea/hot chocolate; your adorable pets and other animals; woodblock prints and other art; and this planet that we all need to take better care of.

I laughed harder than I should have at this.

I'm losing my heart all over again to this 11.5cm tall #stag, carved from a single piece of wood & originally covered with gold leaf, with its vast branched leather antlers. Made in the 5thC BC as a finial for a #prehistoric #Scythian headdress, it was one of the artefacts in the #BritishMuseum's 2017 Scythian exhibition.
There's more about the exhibition at https://www.britishmuseum.org/blog/introducing-scythians. /1

A castle in Italy has braille etched in the railing that describes the view for blind people🤎

Oh the weather outside is fright'nin,
But the workers are all still strike'in,
So take them a cup of tea,
And stop fucking voting Tory.

Oh the fire is rightly raging,
So the picket lines are paging,
Support the workers today,
Better conditions, and better pay!

It’s so easy to take advantage of people who work out of a sense of responsibility for others, altruistic, caring, vocational jobs. Where money is not a motivator, job satisfaction is. But there comes a time when being demonised, ignored, just treated like a grasping idiot is too much to bear.
