"So many people waiting for the next politician to solve their problems right now...
Friend, no one is coming to save you. Put your head down, focus on your own life, and watch true change come"

Good employees don't quit jobs, they quit:

• Low pay
• Bad bosses
• Office politics
• Toxic workplaces
• Micro-management
• Feeling undervalued
• Lack of opportunities
• Zero work-life balance

It's 100% okay to leave jobs that no longer serve you.

Remember, it's important to be happy where you work. You spend a lot of time there.

The shood(?)(shrug/hood) in my profile pic is made from these amazing angora goats’ hair (meet Jon Snow and fam!), mixed with Rambouillet wool my cousin-in-law has started producing this year. Was so thrilled to meet them my trip home last summer! Sooo soft, warm, and snuggly in these Canadian east coast winters❣️#knitting

It’s #WorldHippoDay!

This gigantic herbivore can weigh ~8,000 lbs (3,600 kg), but don't think you can outrun it. A hippo can charge as fast as 30 mph (48.3 kmh)! That’s faster than an Olympic sprinter. Fun fact: A group of hippos is called a bloat.

The deeper root cause is a belief in inequality: that some people deserve to survive, thrive and be happy more than others.

This explains sexism, racism, homophobia, capitalism, religion, patriotism, nationalism, fascism, genocide.

What was that? Did you see? I think that was a Nazgul!

Today I made it to Weathertop, so I am definitely ahead of schedule which is great. Fundraising wise so far I’ve got enough for 98 malaria treatments OR 937 sachets of food for malnourished children OR 2.96 days if a doctor in the field. #charity #fundraising

Requiring ID to access social media will “harm everyone’s ability to speak out and share information, regardless of their age,” EFF’s Jason Kelley told The Center Square; that data could be sold, stolen, or abused, & millions without government ID would lose access. https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/article_b8baac3e-cb8b-11ee-8d1c-87384d15b517.html

Not too long ago a life of rural simplicity was the norm for many. Today, a complex life is the ‘norm’ which we are all expected to accept, and a simple life is a choice that we make and an aspiration that we work towards. Living simply today is voluntary - it is also an act of nonconformity and may even be seen as a radical act of passive resistance – it’s really up to you!

I still can’t get over the fact that I can read books for free(!) Libraries, man. So amazing. (Yes, I’ve been doing this my whole life. It just has to keep blowing my mind now & then.)

I'm not sure which social media this came from, but it feels like a good reminder for the Year of the Dragon.

Especially THIS Year of the Dragon. The actual hoarders are making me far too angry.
