@DavidSalo @MelissaHDavis Thanks. I've seen that attribution. Cool.

@MelissaHDavis ... does anyone know the correct source for that? It's usually attributed to M.L. King Jr but it's older. Bunch of literary types here...

Making stew instead of stewing

@Keysalagain Yeah, so lazy of the assessors. Someone could help them out and upload an updated image.

Golly this county government website is mighty trusting. Good thing I have some amount of restraint.

Update the Name or Mailing Address on Your Tax Bill🤔

Evergreen advice especially relevant now: buy books. Paper books. Unless you "liberate" ebooks they're rented, ephemeral and easy to ban. And like ebooks, publishers have no spines*. Think Bezos won't yoink a book about hormone therapy or a kid with two moms? Right. Buy books.

*like that little simile? Pretty pleased with it too.

@DavidSalo The presidents of the EU, USA, Brazil, China, South Africa, Japan and Australia will not attend this year's Cop29 climate summit.

The CEO of the summit was filmed agreeing to facilitate fossil fuel deals _at the summit_.

Global banks and financial organisations, said in a report this week shocks caused by climate breakdown will hit global economic growth by a third. And that's likely off by quite a lot.

What were you saying?

Today is a good day to write your governor and suggest they publicly disavow efforts to use National Guard troops or police to round-up and deport any state residents. Also tomorrow is a good day to write and the day after, etc.

@Maude If I were cynical I'd think this was a shake-down of Tysons, Archer Daniels Midland, Conagra, Monsanto, et al. Because nothing else makes any kind of sense.

@MrsE0113 Little known fact you have to listen to this song while sipping that:
M.I.A. - Paper Planes
I fly like paper, get high like planes
If you catch me at the border I got visas in my name
If you come around here, I make 'em all day
I get one done in a second if you wait

You're Not Alone
by Allison Russell, Brandi Carlile

We are not alone.
We are not what we have lost.
We are more than the sum of our scars.

We are the dust of the stars, the bones of the Earth, the breath of the void, the expanse of our imaginations, the arc of art, the love in our hearts.

We lift each other up.
