Here are some nice mushrooms

no idea why I can't sleep I say as I watch civilisation crumble in real time on the glowing rectangle in my hand

Don't drown to prove you know the tide is rising

It is really short-sighted and stupid to be gutting public health and outbreak surveillance capacity right now: - H5N1 nationwide - uncontrolled - TB in Kansas - largest U.S outbreak - Measles in Texas - Expanding - Seasonal flu - Worst in 15 years - Pertussis - outbreaks in multiple states.

More of this, America.

Everyone’s saying it’s the best win in Philly this week

Stay strong. For us, this is more than just a job-it’s a calling. Together, we will stand to protect our parks, environment, and wildlife. Four years… we remain hopeful that the attack on our public lands will be less brutal this time.

a key take away from reading a lot of history for me: the people who survive hard times and eventually brutally humiliate their seemingly invincible enemies are not the people whose first response to adversity is “oh well, guess I’ll die”

before tiktok, before bluesky, before twitter, before meta, before it all, there were sewers. after all, there will be sewers.
