Family is not a happy place for many of us, and certainly for me.

So where does that instinct for care and generosity take shape in the absence of family? And how come some people manage to understand kindness into a wider realm, not just their immediate genetic relations.

As I watch this film, I'm thinking about how affection for your family should be a training ground for something much bigger. It shouldn't be the boundary.

We're living too long.

Imagine not that long ago at 40/50...

Now we're '' almost double that and held up by increasing energy drains.

We're simply not that worth it and even losing quality until 60/70.

DON'T HAVE FAMILY UNLESS YOU ACCEPT SLAVERY

"... she earns $32 per 900 lb bin. She's been doing this work for 14 years. She shares it's hard work, but it feeds her family. "

= DON'T HAVE FAMILY - you will have to work for whatever money and constantly less or more work for same money.

Lorena shared this pic from where she was harvesting apples in WA State. Filling these 900 lb bins full of fresh apples is hard work and she only earns $32/bin. She wishes farm workers had better labor protections as there is a lot of discrimination and intimidation. #WeFeedYou

"Trump voters, many of them, really just have no idea. They’re only now learning, and some of them still haven’t, that tariffs are taxes. They have no idea how much of their food supply comes from immigrants; they have no idea really what Trump is planning to do."

i am once again asking for mobile operating systems to have a "lie" option next to "allow" and "deny" for permissions like location, notifications, files, camera, nearby devices, etc. that generates sensible garbage to poison tracking profiles

a global "lie" toggle that causes all but a few trusted apps to receive false information would also be nice, if you're going to a protest or a sensitive medical appointment

wouldn't do much if your os vendor was an ad tech company (which is the case on pretty much everything but a linux or rooted android phone without google play services) but it would be a very cool feature for an android custom rom to add at the very least

To monotonously live the mouldy hours of the ordinary people, the submissive, the accommodated, a life of convenience, is not living, it is only vegetating and carrying around an amorphous mass of flesh and bones. To life one should give the exquisite elevation of the rebellion of the arms and the mind.
-- Severino Di Giovanni

Our governments have fails us.... We need to do things ourselves - We cannot fail our younger generation in the same way... 

Our have failed us,
Our have failed us,
Our have failed us,

We are the last institution that cannot afford to fail our younger generation.
