Last Notes npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange There was this Latvian (I think) folk-rock-electro artist from the late 90s, I can't remember her name or the album name. Just that it had a portrait of her in front of a wall covered in climbing vines. She was really ahead of her time. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Both people here have limited access to health care, very little money, and extreme distrust of psychology and psychiatry. One seems to have beliefs that verge on delusional, and the other one enables those beliefs. I asked for this specifically because I think it will at least provide some useful perspectives and maybe a strategy or two for things like setting boundaries. I don't take my choice of language lightly, so if I'm missing something here that's harmful, please let me know. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange I'd love some YouTube recommendations on the subject of dealing with narcissistic parents and siblings. Asking for a friend. (No, really, I lucked out in the family department.) npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange AI slop is Soylent Green. And it really is made of people. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange It's my birthday, this is your invitation to post gifs, emojis, and warm wishes. If you wish to do more, please peruse the #MutualAid hashtag and give some money to someone who needs it. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Trans lesbian is homeless in Austin - just trying to raise a few hundred dollars to get her back on her feet. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange It's tragic and ironic--doesn't mean anyone feels bad for them. If you sign up to be a soldier and then get deployed to be a cop in your home country, and then don't immediately quit, then you're basically asking for it. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange So the latest on my local data center fight: the people behind it have belatedly hired someone to do PR for them and a local lawyer. Suddenly, it has always been a hydroponics research project with the server racks just an alternate method of providing the heat needed for indoor growing during the winter. Also, where before they were just "representatives" of Eco Yotta Inc, now they're the actual owners. And gosh maybe they might just move to the town if it all works out! And nevermind about them being able to purchase a multimillion dollar piece of real estate, they drive a Honda so clearly they're not THAT rich! Oh and also neither of them have any expertise in hydroponics but the wife used to run a day care center, so they're also thinking about starting some kind of childcare/child development tracking app. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange How do I get my partner to stop saying "Do you want to do x" when what they really mean is "I want to do x" npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Very frustrating that debates about Daylight Saving™* Time vs standard time are always "should we keep it or not" and never "why can't we just adjust our schedules for different times of year without forcing everyone in the USA to pretend time itself has somehow changed?" npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange I know there's no such thing as a free lunch, which is fine, I brought my lunch. But is there any such thing as a free PDF editor? npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Thinking of everyone in Jamaica today, even my sister-in-law (we don't get along). Not much to do now except watch and pray and get ready to send help once the hurricane departs. #HurricaneMelissa npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Have you had chicken pox? npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Two more years until I can get my shingles vaccine! I will be so mad if I get shingles right before I turn 50. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange I can't lie, the preamble is kind of cool. At least compared to the rest of the Constitution. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange I get it, you want to "save the republic" but maybe you shouldn't? Just a thought. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Please do not tell me that the Constitution is an "antifa manual." npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Never not going to be conflicted about people calling the US military "antifa". Like. Come on now npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Just thought I would share with you some stuff that I see while I'm at work. Moo! These cows are right about to decide that I'm too unsettling to be around. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange "We’re familiar with redlining. The real estate industry, big banks, and the federal government collaborated on home valuation schema that tethered race to risk, denied mortgages to millions of Black and brown people, and ensured most would be trapped in a captive housing market as tenants. But Ansfield’s book studies a later wave and a novel form of extractive abandonment: insurance “brownlining.” After riots erupted in almost 2,000 cities and towns in the late 1960s, Ansfield writes, “insurance personnel were, in a real sense, capitalism’s first responders,” working in an industry that aimed to convert “black resistance … into dollars and cents.” Surveying the damage, many insurance companies declared Black neighborhoods uninsurable. Riots had forced a racial reckoning—and inspired a racial panic. The federal government cut a deal with the insurance industry that reflected both: In exchange for a government backstop of reinsurance, companies would have to offer property owners in “riot-prone” areas access to Fair Access to Insurance Requirements, or FAIR, insurance plans. But these were “subprime” insurance plans—“‘back of the bus’ insurance,” in the words of one critic. They allowed insurers to charge higher monthly premiums for inferior coverage, and their exorbitant cost meant that generally only white absentee landlords could afford them. Far from a “remedy” for racist harms, FAIR plans turned racist fears into market logic. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange "Green capitalism will never facilitate the scale of action that is necessary to keep warming below 1.5ºC or even 2ºC because it refuses to take on the powerful people and industries that are fueling the climate crisis in the first place. It continues to ensure the benefits flow to the top while hollowing out the middle class and producing climate narratives that shift the burden of responsibility onto those who have little power to make the necessary changes: the public, if not the global poor." npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Apropos of nothing, here's up and coming reggae artist Koffee with "Rapture," one of my favorite songs by her. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange The Guardian once again exposing why people are wary of their journalism when it comes to trans people. This article (archived link, no paywall) about female intersex athletes being over-represented starts out saying that these athletes "went through male puberty". These, to be clear, are people who have breasts and vaginas and were assigned female at birth. People who identify as girls and women and always have. Cheek swabs are destroying women's careers, all in the name of "protecting women". More of a "protection racket for women," really. Nice sports career, be shame if anything were to happen to it. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Saw a sign on my way to work today that said "I AM CHARLIE KIRK" npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange I made a toad friend the other day npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange For my sins, I am on reddit as well as on here. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange In a nutshell: npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange this has to be a joke omg npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange I just found out, thanks to my local newspaper, that a brand new company called Eco Yotta Inc. is aiming to build a data center outside my tiny little town. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange GloRilla got arrested because someone burgled her house. Yes. The cops smelled marijuana, got a search warrant, and found a lot of weed. Meanwhile the guys who broke in & stole jewelry are still at large. #ACAB npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Hiking ban why? Because of fire risk? npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange So this is a bit niche even for enviro-nuts like me but if you're down to sign petitions, this one could use it. Tell SUNY ESF to drop their partnership with the dangerous, unproven, and disrespectful "Darling 58" genetically modified chestnut tree makers SilvaBio. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Nope, mostly not ironic, I'm an anarchist, so are many others, and even the "anarcho-capitalists" who really should know better seem to be sincere in their delusion. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Names for girls/women that just mean "girl/woman": npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange WU TANG IS FOR THE CHILDREN!!! npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Wu Tang Clan has endorsed Zohran Mamdani: npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Reached the point in the dystopia where I'm supremely grateful for breathable air and non-lethal temperatures npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Fucking @/[email protected] again. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Please spread the word npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Every time I think about Saying Something Important, I get so tired npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange My cat's nose fits inside my nostril.

He got a cold reception. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange One of my coworkers likes to crochet and she made these cuties npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Yeah if it's the same one I saw about the bald JD Vance meme, it was a Norwegian guy npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Back at the end of March, the FBI kidnapped a Chinese academic couple, Xiaofeng Wang and his wife Nianli Ma. Apparently they're now free, but Indiana University, which employed them both, shamefully fired both of them without any process or explanation, and they were never charged with any crimes. Now they're seeking to unseal the warrant that was used to justify the raid on their house and their detention. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Wow the Burlington VT protest had 16,000 people at it. Pretty decent turnout for a town of 60,000. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Library funding cuts. Mean no more free nationwide library cards for teens. Many libraries are getting rid of even paid memberships for out of state people. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange oh no! Yeah at this point, there's no disputing that. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange I get it now. Eurovision is basically drag race, there's just a few more straight people involved. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange My mom was in a jam session with Natalie Merchant (among others) last night. Wft am I supposed to do for her for mothers day?!? npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange I have GERD.

This position is full time, doesn't require advanced degrees, and comes with good benefits and, if it's like my civil service job, also comes with a guaranteed pay raise of 2-3% every year. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Damn. A struggling small town newspaper. In print for 150+ years. But tariffs on Canadian products meant their paper costs 25% more now. That was the final nail in the coffin. The Cortland Standard, one of the 5 oldest family-owned newspapers in the USA, is shuttering. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Please report this comedian.

Well done but dark as fuck. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Watershed Sentinel, a magazine based in CANADA*, has several articles about #DeGrowth in its latest issue, including one by the hottest Degrowther (imo, I don't know what all of them look like), Timothée Parrique, debunking the idea of decoupling/green growth. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange "Now that Trump has dealt a decisive deathblow to the post-Obama political system, it’s worth taking stock of where that moment went. Postmortems on Bidenomics have tended to focus on climate provisions, rising protectionism in trade, and the macroeconomics of stimulus and inflation. The limits of the administration’s “industrial policy,” touted as marking a “post-neoliberal” paradigm shift, have been extensively documented; it was always a national security program first—an ill-conceived reaction to fears of a rising China—and a pro-worker agenda second, if at all. The bigger, less talked-about picture is the long arc of ten years of failure to confront inequality after the Piketty moment in 2014. Across four key policy areas—taxation, labor standards, the welfare state, and antitrust—Democrats could have pursued a comprehensive program for combating plutocracy and empowering workers. But the opportunity was frittered away through a relentless focus on playing by the old rules of policy debate and routing reform through the usual elite channels, insulated from—and often outright hostile to—the voices and views of on-the-ground constituencies. All that came at the cost of forging a durable political coalition." npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange #3GoodThings npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Hey listen up!

Nope, they're either uninformed or lying--and I seriously urge you to go with "lying" as the default, in order to reduce the potential for mischief by bad actors. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Growth as a goal for societies is basically brand new. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Continuing to read the new Lancet study on degrowth/post-growth ideas! npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Can anyone recommend an online ADHD self-diagnosis test please? npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange they want us but cannot have us. Their self-image requires a submissive woman to parade around, but convincing a woman to act that way is continuously hard work, which is something they can't do. We are the weak point of their fantasies and self-esteem. Our existence as autonomous beings calls the foundations of their ideology into question. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange But isn't lack of growth destabilizing? npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange On human wellbeing vs GDP: npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange "Decoupling"? It's possible but extremely unlikely (authors being politic here); "the post-growth field suggests taking a precautionary approach, given the historical record and the rapid narrowing of the window to prevent ecological breakdown. Post-growth, it should be emphasised, does not state that decoupling economic activity from emissions and getting to net zero emissions is impossible, just that it is made harder by economic growth. For energy and material use, which can only be reduced and never brought to zero, the necessary reductions are easier to achieve with post-growth." npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange fuck William Nordhaus npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Revisiting "Limits To Growth" on its 50th anniversary: npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange Some choice quotes from new Lancet study on #degrowth or #PostGrowth and planetary health: npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange The Lancet says: #DEGROWTH NOW! npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange I dramatically lost weight after hysterectomy surgery to treat endometriosis. "How'd you do it??" Life threatening illness. "You look great!" Thanks. I feel weak and miss being fat. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange I've gone through this. Then I gained weight again. Phew!

Just FYI npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange OK, so, when you're talking to a bunch of misogynists who think the law sets morality (and would thus have been fine with slavery until it was rendered illegal), you just... cater to their sensibilities? That's also a choice. I'd say "let us know how that works out for you" but I doubt that scenario is ever going to come to pass. You're just making excuses for your... choices. npub15zlfvuc6vjg5zscnqvygpcgpqt505vzw856xcd4jm0tsms6sz9fqeqvd0s Sally Strange I mean.
