@humanum stunning! Are you selling prints?

How can the poor afford solar? Its true its made, seriously as I know how to say it, almost impossible in the US. At the same time its more in reach than ever before. Look up 'balcony solar.' My six figure relatives can't see affording it. But with almost five years of saving and buying year by year on under $25k gross income I largely installed my solar system and am writing this on stored electric power at night after cooking dinner on an induction cooktop. I feel like there are ten billion things I could say, but instead I'll say this: There are definitely issues with this, but the potential for slowing down the increase in destroying the planet's ability to sustain any life we might recognize in the near future, is like a weight has been lifted off my soul and scales have fallen from my eyes. I'm definitely knocking down my winter energy costs and will cover all of my energy costs with solar and battery storage. Simple consumption means easy solution. There's more to it, but for now, this is what I will share.

@drandrewv2 on! This is brilliant! Congrats on getting it made!

Now, would you like a commission?? For 2? 😱🥳

Like many other autistic and/or disabled people I will spend Christmas on my own and while I appreciate my alone time and the atmosphere and the silence of it, I know it can be difficult and hurtful.

So I would like to connect with other people who spend Christmas on their own or experience feelings of loneliness during these days, by interacting with this post.

That can be just leaving and receiving a virtual hug or telling each other about the gifts you received or gave yourself during the year, maybe share a piece of music, write about your favourite video game or any other special interest. You can do this in private mode (English or German), I know that interacting with groups can be difficult, impossible sometimes, but every now and then I write posts like this during a moment of bravery and I already found amazing online friends by doing so.

Let's support each other in a world that makes building connection so difficult and feelings of loneliness so common.

Boosts are very much appreciated. Thank you.

@skinnylatte It’s happening all over. Maryland has seen some bills more than double. Data centers and new transmission lines seem to be driving the increases.

If you're on a Mastodon server that needs to have the highest level of user safety, you might want to talk to your admin about whether they should activate "limited federation mode".

This mode prioritises safety over connectivity, and means a server manually chooses which servers it allows federation with, while blocking all the rest by default. More info at:

➡️ https://fedi.tips/creating-an-isolated-server

(The main disadvantage of this option is it's a lot harder to find accounts to follow.)

There is no doubt that Trump is the #1 beneficiary of this redaction, but already-available testimony suggests there are some significant international players being protected, too. They are glossed by euphemisms like 'interests of national security', but it's not just Americans who should be demanding the full files (with only the identities of victims who have not already made their names public protected).

@wdlindsy

"The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children."

Not one photo of trump in the released Epstein files. How convenient!

Oh wait, there was one; it has now been deleted. How devious!!

49. The game isn't over by far. But make no mistake: we are winning. That's something to be proud of. It's something to accelerate. It's nothing to take for granted. And it's certainly no time to take Yglesias' advice and fumble the ball so the other team won't feel so sad. /fin

Including one of my childhood classmates, the mother of a close friend, my middle school P.E. teacher and his wife, and another peer from high school – 5 total.) 😔 All five of them refused the vaccine for political reasons. All of their deaths preventable.

@dbc3 @Aethelstan Maybe we will get lucky somehow. I’m old enough to remember Deep Throat. 🕯️

@mackayim2022 Thank you! This is the way we will win. Slowly carve the bigots out.

@Aethelstan Oh no. There are 100’s of the faithful in the DOJ, happily redacting this stuff. You cannot redact 100,000 pages with a team of 3. Multiple dozens have worked in the redactions and multiple 100’s have seen these files over time.

What we need now is a few “mistakes”. A whistle blower or two.

The video Interfaith Alliance has produced for Christmas — "Choose Love Not ICE" — is gut-wrenching to watch.

Not enough adjectives to describe its impact:

Heart-rending.
Painful.
Convicting.
Disturbing.

I'm grateful for the faithful moral witness of this group.

"But we have seen the first real public test of the military and whether it will refuse unlawful orders in these cases: murderous, probably war crimes-worthy strikes in the Caribbean, especially that second strike on September 2nd where two shipwrecked survivors clinging to the wreckage of their boat were double-tapped.

There's a reason the Pentagon doesn't want us to see that video."
