🎃 ⬅️ Cook Pumpkins with skin! YES
Eat #Squash and #Pumpkins and #cook with skin? YES 🎃
They stand the cold and #freeze quite well but few small spots tell me it's time to liquidate and not lose stock as they go bad behind you back...
So just endlessly cook the whole pieces in any #soup (#tomato yum!) and re-hydrate into one giant pot cooking almost whole (split in half and take seeds out - that's it - into pot!_ I eat the skin too which is like melon skin but better - perhaps like #carrot or apple skin when soft.
Why - it's faster and more food for you / less waste and taste really good.
Funny how people get used to throwing and peeling absolutely everything!

Facial Recognition is slowly
getting embedded in most systems in the name of security.
This needs to stop.
Not only it will not help, but it will definitely harm a lot of innocent people: Identity theft and doxing when the inevitable data breaches happen. False positives, which can be very high and even higher for people of color. Normalized discrimination for many.
We collectively need to
refuse each time facial recognition is requested, and we need to write to our public representatives to demand better legislation against it.
If we do not refuse to participate and
we do not fight for our privacy rights collectively, we will lose them.
Here's how it works for airports in the US: https://gizmodo.com/senators-say-tsas-facial-recognition-program-is-out-of-control-heres-how-to-opt-out-2000528310
@FediThing Wow just saw the pinned post which explains why I can't follow FediThing (FediTips) about #QOTO and it's position on things.
The #QOTO hashtag is where you can see other comments which is the main reason for this post in case others are wondering why we can't follow.
Thanks @FediThing (FediTips who moved account that I couldn't see to search or see) and glad you pinned it to this account.
Step One of deleting all my tweets - done ☑️
Thanks @cyd
Only thing missing is a little guide on navigating the accompanying existential sadness of deleting what once felt like a significant part of my life... 🤦♀️
I'm interested to see that there may be more sites added to Cyd one day 😃
What has been on my mind today: the high costs of digital sovereignty and privacy.
I quit #Substack and pay 30€ a month for a Creator plan on #Ghost (approx. 360 Euros a year).
I quit Dropbox in favor of #Proton Unlimited (drive but also mail, calendar. VPN). 119 Euros/year.
I nuked my Google Analytics accounts in favor of #Plausible (90 Euros/year).
I'm HAPPY to pay for these services & yet I'm highly aware of my privilege.
#BigTech won't fade in popularity anytime soon bc it's free 😩

⬇️ MY COMMENT / CRITIQUE ⬇️
#Facts we cannot check ourselves are often are #arbitrary because it is by people's #opinions at #varied #quality.
Perhaps more #physical #evidence is much easier and believable but even AI can fake what evidence you can really think you 'see' but is not there at all (Deepfake videos, poor statistics, framing, narrative etc).
So the meaning of "arbitrary" in this context is what I'm focusing on to mean "someone's or a groups opinion" and therefore "arbitrary" if literally I don't have things in my hand and if I didn't go myself to count it PLUS can honestly and measurably question those 'fact"-ing
Seems harsh and I'm not saying "believe nothing" but imagine it's easy to tell a lie about anything from distance and people even inside the hierachy don't see what's actually going on. #Compartmentalization.
So a quick/bad example:
if an American group or agency tells me what's good for me / us and quote some numbers then I'm much less likely to believe *anything* from USA (again seems harsh but as quick example and certainly at least almost everything political modern times more than ever has just been bloat and exaggerated).
People with a bad reputation / manipulation / violence to everyone in #history I think cant repeat things so there's that too.
Long-story short :
it's all so calculated (and miscalculated) / controlled / conquered / manipulated etc...
oh sorry we got it wrong or reclassifying this toxic thing
oh no we're call this green now
(just typing fast here not moaning!)
It's hard not to have things so inaccurate today as people wouldn't write bad about themselves and toward more towards constant power and control.
ADDED to that is how one phrases and words the counting (even assuming it's right by numbers, how you say it is not always perfect or purely said).
Ok will stop there but can't trust today's " facts "
💖 Said with love (that's a fact, unless I'm faking it - hard to know right?)
Generally like your stuff #𝚂𝗆𝖺𝗋𝗍𝗆𝖺𝗇 so hope you can comment equally to some critique.
Are you in need of a hug at the moment?
So this is why I want to do more interaction and online chats (even non-video)... towards real life hugs + #support.
So online #friendship >> to >> in-person #friendship just need time .... so better we work on that now... <==== ⏲️ = 💖
this shouldn't be enough... if you really #appreciate in-person hugs and we need to #work on the #long way around to make sure it's #genuine when we're in person because #chatting makes sure we eventually practice more things and more certainly (not hopefully) that = strong people and in-person #strength = #hugs
And for those negative and not starting the people work, that's the problem not starting, as there is always risk and that is unavoidable unless you do 0 friendship work.
Let's chat and talk about - even slowly... just start more #growth in people...

I think this idea is especially helpful if one suffers from internalised capitalism. Here is a quote:
"INTERNALIZED CAPITALISM LOOKS LIKE THIS
- You feel guilty when you rest.
- Your self-esteem is largely based on good performance in your career.
- Productivity is more important than health.
- The belief that hard work = happiness.
- You feel lazy even when you are in pain, experiencing trauma or adversity.
- You use busyness as a means of avoiding needs."

Working together is the answer - that I'm sure of if you want human* change. It's a cruel and long road but better than tech #rugpulls we see all the time. Time to design something more personal and cared for. Re-design Ourselves.

I add Fediverse #Quotes #Notes #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites for a more Human-caring social, not hating, so it's a better example of ourselves and what we could do and love in things we all share and mostly care for.
Towards Togetherness. Agree?
===================
So let's build whatever we can, the best we can. without rugpullers.
Perhaps building friendship at the end is 'it' and can win it for all of us rather than paranoia and not trying to gel together.
Making our own relationship with life rather than shying away leaving it to people hating Trump / Bezos / Musk and spreading news of their actions that self-perpetuates itself more than work on something else.
This profile and life is the work of the heart and mind. We have enough material and tech mostly. Now to evolve the mind a bit more and catch up with the lessons and psychology.

"FreeSchool" is a movement from 1960s/1970s
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_school
Learning via interaction means there is always risk by the way. By not building trust or working on mutually worknig together inaction happens and lack of friendship also allows bad people... so I see us as doing the work more daily or as the good homework we need to do (nobody else can do it properly without us).
MORE DETAIL BELOW IF NEEDED...
BUILD YOURSELF AND ME (DOESN'T HAVE TO BE WHOLE WORLD)...
All aims should be towards working together more personally instead of hating, because most of the hating is free advertising and spreading fear for them ("Bad news is still good advertising)
This means less spreading Trumps, Musk, Bezos names and plans, and more our thing.
Humans change Humans - we the caring people reason better as we have a caring soul and a conscience. We also need to test and repair those that can't. Tech does not care and has it's limits at best which I think we have akready reached and in danger of leaving people behind over-doing I.T.
========================================
Do you have work for me or any ideas / dreams of your own?
========================================
Going towards growing better decision-making humans as a main goal or my interpreration (human-educated examples helping others help others) and not just tech filters of progression / aggression / profit.
Tech has measurably been over-done and had it's limits being backed by BigTech and State-orientatedand heavily regulated infrastructures. This ultimately undoes this and is are not human-caring and just money / profit-orientated the same as the state and companies are.
All $tates use bank$ that cheat everyone else behind their back.
Every $tate let's this happen to keep unfair power over people and keep them down.
I have DIY education more than any Massive Tech-based $haring. We have enough small solutions. We just need to do the human homework together which is what almost nobody is doing and it shows! We canNOT just do tech, we can maintain some tech but then grow the user's interests and direction using caring people and releasing their potential and curating ourselves... Since the mentlaity of people (users) are the weak point of all systems (who are happy to abuse them / add adverts etc) so it means working on ourselves is the best now we have mostly everything else worked on to catch up on the mentality and also realise all the tricks historically.
☼ Free work if you can justify it +
#Friendship (it's for humanity and world too to grow friendship). I edit basic text, audio, video for free to grow the idea of Freedom or not just banks and money made to give us crutches after they break our legs / eat our time and money (energy).
