From my recent road trip down the US west coast to Palm Springs, CA. We drove through Avenue of the Giants in Humboldt County, CA, flanked by miles of California Redwoods. Such a privilege to experience these giants in person! We are small.

Happy to say I didn’t feel it.

“A light but widely felt #earthquake shook Southern #California on Friday. There were no immediate reports of damage to buildings, other infrastructure or injuries.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the magnitude 4.1 quake struck at 10:55 a.m. and was centered about a mile (1 kilometer) northwest of Lytle Creek, in the San Gabriel Mountains about 45 miles (72 kilometers) east of downtown Los Angeles.”

New instance, new #introduction.

I see this instance has a *nice* *long* character limit for posts.

I have a Ph.D. in Human Science (2016, Saybrook University), which is about the experience of being human in social contexts. It is the mother of the social sciences but is now, at least in the English speaking world, and at least as far as I can tell, a dead field.

I studied #conservatism for my #dissertation. And yes, the #Democrats are far too #conservative for me.

Once upon a time, a very, very long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I was a computer programmer. It was the wrong career choice.

I am a #vegan #LibertarianSocialist (recovering #anarchist) mostly from the #SanFrancisco #BayArea in #California, presently residing in #Pittsburgh, #Pennsylvania, hoping to move to #erie

In #kyriarchy, I mostly focus on #classism and #ageism, but since arriving in Pittsburgh, have been confronted with blatant #racism (and yes, many white people here do see it). But #SocialJustice has to be for everybody; to focus on any one identity, to the exclusion of others, is nothing more than to elevate that identity over that of the predominantly wealthy white males who are now in charge.

I oppose all #imperialism and #SettlerColonialism, not just U.S. and NATO imperialism and settler-colonialism. Having lived on the underbelly of #capitalism most of my life, I am #anticapitalist and ferociously opposed to #neoliberalism. I oppose physical and structural violence.

Human beings have #HumanRights. These rights are not constrained by their governments' failures to ratify certain human rights treaties.

#Borders exist to mark off territory controlled by elites whose competition accounts for most if not all wars and to deny human beings on the "wrong" side of an arbitrary line rights and privileges available on the "right" side. This cannot be justified ethically. I am hostile to #xenophobia

Finally, I am pessimistic about the future of humanity. #COVID19 and the #ClimateCrisis demonstrate our unfitness for survival.

Saw this map posted on another network and it helped me realize some things I'd never appreciated before, which is just how whopping huge the agricultural part of California is, and, related, just how bowl-like the topography is. Really fascinating. #Maps #California

🚨This is the alert from my brother for the storm on the north central coast of California. There will be 28-33 ft waves with 40 ft possible!

Further south, the entire coast of Ventura County has been closed. This has never happened in my lifetime.

I can vouch. I live here. 1/...

"Portions of So #California were inundated Thurs w what forecasters described as a once-in-a-millennium rainfall, which brought flooding to roadways across Ventura Cty, a brief tornado warning & threat of heavy downpours in and around L.A.

Fire officials in Ventura County reported that 911 dispatchers received over 275 calls for help over a 5-hour period as floodwaters rose in the coastal communities of Port Hueneme and Oxnard."

#Indigenous advocacy leads to largest #DamRemoval project in #UShistory.
4 dams are being demolished along the #KlamathRiver in northern #California, as #salmon populations plummet.

For thousands of years, the Klamath River has been a cornerstone of #Yurok culture, providing its people with a bounty of #chinook salmon, #coho salmon & #steelhead trout.
