Haahaha, yes!!!

I’ll be your friend; you can actually discuss things well 💜

You might like the “If you could invent anything in the world, what would it be?”

I used to sketch out ppls’ answers and give them the drawing to remind them they’re creative even if they never considered themselves in that light before. Bc every single person I ask can come up with at least one thing, from jeans with a star patch on the back pocket to a tiny home village arrayed a certain way.

Lol but why would we use one word from one language when we can use two words from two different languages? /s

In hindsight, the Dominionism Cult was started in the 70s to take over America. The fascists have been the same this whole time. Checkout “Totalitarianism in America” by Chris Hedges. My mom was in this cult in the 90s, and I have disgusting memories of going to secret meetings where they taught ppl how to brainwash ppl and become their “friend” so they could use them. Now it’s rich ppl and republicans, same MOs though.

Trump defunding USAID will kill 14 million people. I call that murder.

💜💜💜

Thank you, good read!

That Trump cutting funding for USAID will kill 14 MILLION PEOPLE, and we’re not calling him Hitler or Ghengis Khan. Wtf.

Hire product designers and artists to go to every high school art classroom and ask kids “If you could invent anything in the world, what would it be?” and then draw it for them. So they can get a taste of that feeling that they too have something to contribute to the world. Put the ideas up on a site like kickstarter, with the profits going towards their college education. Nvm, fuck that. I’d pay for college for everybody.

I’d also travel while I could before the planet gets much hotter.

I feel like these are small goals left over from when I was younger bc I can’t properly conceive of what a world without scarcity for me and everyone else looks like. I’d start with the housing problem though, bc that’s what I’m facing rn.

I would use one of these almost every day if it were in walking distance

I like the etched one! The heat printed one looks too busy on the brown background and with that wallpaper. I kind of like the idea in another comment of etched flowers below and heat printed “B” above.

Check out www.lawofone.info. The first few sessions (they’re short) say what happened in ancient Egyptian and South American cultures when aliens came and tried to share the simple thought that “we are all one.” Shit devolved into human sacrifice. Apparently we can’t handle anything even approximating religion.

How do you know they don’t?

Lmfao! 😂💜

Yeah, I’m 42 yrs old. A long time ago I sacrificed what lvl of English I did know in order to use “lol” - I’m not giving up em dashes.

You remember beanie babies? 😂

Thanks for reminding me to add this here! Wiki link from another lemmy user a few days ago I found incredibly helpful in reframing things from “right vs left” to a broader, less politicized view that just speaks to human nature: tolerance vs intolerance - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

Maybe when it’s 130° in the shade they’ll start to be like “it may be a tad warm out here.”

This is ridiculous, any way we can privately fund the tools staying online for scientists to use?
