  • I was at the vigil last night and it was huge! The news reported “100s of people,” but it was easily more than 1,000 at any given time. And people were constantly coming and going. (I have experience counting large groups of people for events)

    We will not stand for this.

    I’m in a signal group for Rapid Response following ICE vehicles and guarding daycares and schools. It’s terrifying, but it’s literally the least I can do while I have to continue doing work, because I guess fascism happens during the work week too.














  • “Between 2004 and 2011, the sardine stock off west South Africa was consistently below 25% of its peak abundance and this appears to have caused severe food shortage for African penguins, leading to an estimated loss of about 62,000 breeding individuals,” said co-author Dr Richard Sherley, from the Centre for Ecology and Conservation at the University of Exeter’s Penryn Campus in Cornwall.

    We killed 60,000 penguins because we wanted to kill and eat their food.

    And we learned nothing, we’re so fucked


  • I’m not sure if this is referring to work or sleep, but something that’s been bothering me about the ‘8 hour workday’ / a ‘9 to 5’ is that’s just not how it is in my experience. It’s 8:00 - 5:00 with an hour lunch break that is certainly less than an hour and at your desk.

    I spend about 9.5 hours each work day in work mode.
