I live, work and pay tax in the European Union, but when the UK left the EU, I lost the ability to sign in support of things like this tax on great wealth as @alberto_cottica describes.

So if you are a European citizen and you *do* support it, would you sign it, not least because there are a fair few other folks in my position, and it seems like it would be good for most ppl?

I recently had the rare privilege of accompanying my sister while she died of cancer. I think it's important that we reconnect with the experience of what happens when we die, and help us bring it back as a natural party of life. This video helps shed some light on that:

Are you growing, or dying? Can you still tell the difference? Are you sure there is one?

I’m wondering if y’all can help me build a community of trans people of colour on the tag #TransPOC as i miss the wonderful people i knew on a different animal themed app.
After seeing reports of racism and bad moderation I guess i’m just trying to find my people. Boosts very welcome.

With all of the horrible things happening in the world, it’s nice to find the wins. Especially in the area of our environment. A group called Coral Guardian is restoring coral reefs, and it’s quite magnificent.

These photos represent 7 years of work on the Indonesia’s Hatamin Island. In this they have increased the fish population by 5x with 53k corals restored.

More wins like this, please.

"We were so glad to see we had neighbours," the message began. "We wrote poems of joy to you in the storms and the clouds. But you never responded."
The message came from Jupiter.
"We grieved, until we realised you cannot read those, that you read radio waves. Thus we greet you."

My boss, Matt Mullenweg, the boss of Automattic, owner of Tumblr, is looking for ex-Twitter employees for Tumblr, saying,

"we're putting on a fast track to see how they can help super-charge Tumblr. We can't absorb thousands of people, but I'd be open to hiring entire teams if they already work great together."

A spaceship landed, and an alien emerged.
"We come in peace," they said, "Take us to your librarian."
"Er... Don't you mean our leader?"
"Why? We already have leaders."
