If you've ever taken something to a repair café, whether it was successfully fixed or not, please fill in her questionnaire:

My boys & I have been slowly making our way through every Studio Ghibli film. Tonight we watched Nausicaä.

It’s a spectacular movie with incredibly timely themes despite being 40 years old. We loved it. And if you follow me here, you may too. #art #film

my girls loved studio Ghibli too. They really tuned in to the gentle pace of the films and the magical characters which flip from being real to fantastic without the blink of an eye. My youngest (now 15) is still increasing her Totoro collection, i think she has about half a dozen soft toys, a bag, a sleeping bag, a blanket and at least a couple of books 😊.

Exactly. The political world and much of society has become zero-sum in its thinking. Some of this is because of crap reality television like Survivor - promoting the screw-the-other-guy mentality and the notion you can 'vote someone off the island.'

In religion, it's manifested as, 'For me to be saved, you must be damned.'

It's terrifying seeing young people hate people they don't even know in order to feel righteous. Some of them go on to harm people in their own country for having a coincidental connection with a hated party. You were born in Russia? You once lived in Israel/Palestine? Then you are considered fair game for abuse by some people, without any consideration as to who you are as an individual. No one should be fair game for abuse. Bring in the judicial system if any actual wrong-doing is occuring. Otherwise, in a democratic society we are to accept diversity, even when we don't like another person's positions. Use your freedom of speech, use verifiable information, and use discussion to make the world better.

A tarot-card style image of a little creature that looks like a chipped axe blade with five tentacles sprouting from the back. Near the base of its "face" are three glowing white eyes.
A tarot-card style illustration of a creature that looks like a metal cup with smoke billowing out of small triangular holes near its top. A single eye stares out from a larger triangular hole in the middle.
A tarot-card style illustration of a small creature that looks like a metal ball with four tentacle-like legs, each ending in three metal fingers. A large pair of prongs, like a tuning fork, sit above its glowing orange eye.

Today's our bi-weekly Future Proof Plays stream, and Gregory is playing Blackwood Crossing. It's turning out to be far more surreal and creepy than I expected, and it has CWs for grief, loss, sibling tension, and maybe jump scares? We aren't sure about the jump scares. Anyway, Gregory is very good at talking about game design, so come join us. 😻 twitch.tv/gregoryaveryweir/

I sat down with Chaya Raichik of LibsofTikTok to talk about Nex's death, her role in Oklahoma politics, her beliefs on gender, the great replacement theory, sex education, her false accusations against the Uvalde shooter, why she and Seth Dillon cut ties and more: youtube.com/watch?v=XL-40gDBRx…

Read my latest story on her impact in Oklahoma: washingtonpost.com/technology/…

How ‘Libs of TikTok’ became a powerful presence in Oklahoma schools

Far right activist Chaya Raichik splits her time between California and Florida. But its Oklahoma where she’s arguably had the biggest impact.

Below is a Google Doc discussing how the trans person that was behind

Sacha Sayan: Hey Thomas, can I pay for it with Google Pay in Google Wallet, which replaced Google Pay, which replaced Android Pay, formerly known as Google Wallet? Sacha Sayan: If not we can jump on a call and discuss billing. I'll send you an invite on Google Meet, the enterprise Google Chat, previously Duo, which replaced Allo, the replacement for Hangouts, the rebrand of +Hangouts, which replaced Talk and Voice.
Michael Parker: Just to clarify do you mean you'll send an invite on Google Meet, or Google Meet (original)? Sacha Sayan: Great question Michael.

The path today - the sense of a boundary line between winter and spring.

#nature #landscape #YorkshireDales

A walled gravel path climbs gradually up the hill towards a rough outcrop of limestone scar. There's some bare winter trees, patches of grass, and the sky is a bright blue with large billowing white clouds. There's a clean feeling to the scene - on the boundaryline of winter and spring.

Weekend #Plankton #Factoid 🦐🦠
In marine systems where high nutrients lead to #hypoxia (low oxygen), it is commonly thought animals must avoid these zones - wrongly. Many types of #zooplankton seek refuge from predation in low oxygen layers in lakes and oceans. This is quite relevant to the #carbon pump off Peru because mesopelagic zooplankton, including Euphausiid #krill can graze on algae sinking in these zones, and produce rapidly sinking fecal pellets. #Climate

Hypoxia-tolerant zooplankton may reduce biological carbon pump efficiency in the Humboldt current system off Peru - Communications Earth & Environment

Grazing of sinking particles by hypoxia-tolerant zooplankton likely reduces biological carbon pump efficiency in the Oxygen Minimum Zone off Peru, suggest analysis of drifting sediment trap samples and in situ imaging observations.

Went out and distributed food to our neighbors at the food pantry tonight.

We had enough left over afterwards to stock up the community pantry & free fridge.

We ran out of room. So I took boxes of fresh turnips and boxes of cereal home for storage. I'll push them out to the community fridge and pantry this week as there is room.

We have the literal ability to feed everyone for free. And we can. And we are.
