@exchgr Prospect Park's boathouse kicks the ass of Central Park's, I must admit.

Brey, we can take their shit. We can literally just take all the shit they stole from us back. We can put Nazis in jail, we can make them pay for what they've done. We can literally save the world.

But it ain't gonna happen if you wait for shitlib capitalist collaborators to do it for you. The US system does not "reform" - it is built to resist everything you wanna do. Revolution says "we don't care." Voting for liberals says "we played to lose from the hop."

Choose wisely.

@mattblaze a friend was teaching pandemics in Jan 2020 (I think at a cal state institution) and chose to follow covid. I never did find out how that went but it must have been interesting

@researchfairy werwolf? There wolf. There castle.

@susankayequinn That cover reminds me of Monk and Robot series by Becky Chambers. I’m currently reading the second book. It’s a breath of fresh air.

Maybe I need to read more solarpunk books.

Watch this.

This was the other huge news in US immigration. They can now deny things without asking you for evidence. (Aka the ‘RFE’ which many people are familiar with)

@jjdavis this was just the ones that were playing when I was there; that's why it's called A Day In Dollywood--it's what I heard on that day.
