I actually hate the "lol the giant asteroid will deliver us from this suffering" jokes. Are there any other people in the progressive movement who think that humans are actually fucking amazing?

The overwhelm is absolutely intentional. The point is the story, not the reality. He can say: “I did all this!” Whether or not it lasts. And causing disruption _is_ the point. No agenda beyond power. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Homesick for Peak District walks and small pubs. For friends that I made when I was young. For a life I don’t have anymore. I’m homesick for a home that isn’t there for me, anymore. I’m tired of looking back but looking round makes me anxious then dizzy. Looking back — sad; but sad dulls sharp pain.

I just found out that around 20% of the neanderthal genome still exists today in living people!! No individual person has more than 3 or 4% but we don't all have the same bits. If you add up all the bits we've found, about a fifth of the Neanderthal genome is still present on earth today.

I give up mindful things when I’m stressed. They’re the first things to go, like a thirsty person tipping out glasses of water because they’re in the way. Today, I took a few minutes.

Sorry, if we hurt your feelings. It’s a shame the facts were too much for you, but we will unapologetically protect our parks!

It’s snowy. I’ve a fever and feel shite. I wanted to move around, so I went for a walk around my garden. After that brief walk, I felt like I’d done a day’s work :( But, it is prettier when it snows.

“Bluesky is an echo chamber!” Our Reply: Echo chamber? Nah, we prefer to call it surround sound for facts.

I do not understand Bluesky’s algorithm. It’s showing me a _lot_ of needlepoint. It’s not like TikTok’s which has me as Subaru-driving lesbian who likes to carve wood and drink coffee (I mean…). And it’s not like FB which just shows me lots of religious trauma. Needlepoint is cozy, I guess.
