As a wastewater professional, the memes about "how much sewage is in the water" frustrates me. Most Americans have no idea how water moves through urban areas or how it's treated. Furthermore, no one wants to pay for the expensive infrastructure to ensure water quality.

This was a wild way to find out that Herbert Hoover was a birthright Quaker. His match against Lucretia Mott is also the easiest one to decide. It's Lucretia Mott, hands down.

Talking to a friend last night who said they felt like prepping, and I told them the best prepping they could do right now is to garden in their yard. Grow any food you can. Anything. If everyone with a yard grew a few items, it would go far for local food security.

Been thinking a lot about community lately. Realized that I'm at least two generations removed from any semblance of a robust and healthy community, as are most of us. Which makes me wonder if we can build true community when none of us really know what that looks like.

The FDA is cracking down on non-approved sunscreens, which is frustrating because the FDA is woefully behind approving any new sunscreen filters. Noticed this when Beauty of Joseon no longer had SPF 50 available and are now selling FDA-approved 40 SPF. I don't want that.

I like my Democratic governor, but this is her last term and I really wish that last-term Dem politicians would light fires and kick tires in the political sense. Go out in a blaze of glory. Just be completely brazen in their political positions.

I'm writing a utopian/dystopian story and one of the plot points is that the utopian society has to hide due to constant surveillance from satellites, which I thought maybe "too much" but now I'm thinking I am pretty correct in this line of world building.

I spent this morning volunteering to put together a chili meal for the local domestic violence shelter and homeless shelter, all of which was coordinated by my local NAACP Youth Council. The youths, they give me hope and inspiration.

Friends of the Kaw have a program where you can symbolically adopt a mile of the Kansas River. I "adopted" a mile and put my family as the name, and I got an email about it today which is hitting me right in the feels.

Pretty sure the 50501 protest is designed to stop people from protesting. The fact that there's no transparency about it is super suspicious. Most people will only go to one protest, and if that protest turns out to be a hoax then they will not participate in more.
