It's not new, but in this past year I've treasured every search result that takes me to a real website, not a content mill. They're like lentils salvaged from a pile of pebbles. They're like wheat gleaned from a harvested field.

Star Trek 31 Day Challenge

I have been all over the place with where I leave my Star Trek 31 Day Challenge posts. Sometimes as part of a thread for someone else's post. Sometimes as a solitary post. I had a bit of a time finding my own posts. So, I'm doing like I've seen other folks do, and making a thread for my responses.

A consolidation of Days 1 through 6 posts are in a comment below. I'll post my future ST 31 Day Challenge responses in this thread.

Morning Walk Report: Boxnoggin prancing past schoolkids waiting for the bus, tail held high, ears perked (they ooh and aaah at him, he loves it), crows waiting for peanuts, park paths blown free of leaves, flotsam and wrack from the rains collected in odd spots.

“With self-sufficiency you never get there, you never become self-sufficient. I mean we tried back in the seventies. We had goats and chickens and bees and I was trying to raise grain.

“Pretty soon I realized that if I want to raise enough wheat for the bread for a year here, it’s better left to a specialist, like I can’t be my own dentist. So you do, it’s a direction self-sufficiency. You do what you can do as much of it as you can.”

One thing I am learning from all this is how truly checked out many many Americans are from politics. I would talk to people, and they would just say, "Oh I'm not involved in politics, it's not for me." I thought this was the exception, but it's proving to be the rule. People told me Kamala didn't have any plans or Trump was great for the economy. Many many people live in a very limited education bubble. We are suffering under a deep lack of education, a lack of critical thinking skills, a world where it's increasingly difficult to check facts, and a group of very rich, and very powerful individuals who know this and are using it against the common good.

Finally: remember to take care of yourselves. There is a long road ahead, but we’re in this together.

And I truly believe that he would have won again.
He is a decent man and inspires that in everyone.
The Democrats threw our election.
Every one of them involved in forcing him out needs to be replaced.

Erinnerung: Alles was sie Geflüchteten antun, werden sie früher oder später dir antun. Es ist der erste Versuch um zu schauen wie weit man es mit der Entmenschlichung treiben kann. Daraufhin sind „Asoziale” (Bürgergeldempfangende) dran, welche ja so faul sind und „auf unseren Kosten...” usw. Dann die Geringverdiener (während der Pandemie „systemrelevante Jobs”, davor und danach aufeinmal „ungelernte Arbeitskräfte”)... und irgendwann erreicht es dich.

Kein Mensch hat eine Wahl zu welcher Gruppe er gehört. Zu jedem Zeitpunkt kannst du zu einer dieser Gruppen werden. Zu jedem Zeitpunkt kann jede Bevölkerungsschicht in eine dieser Gruppen von der Regierung gezwungen werden. Jedes Mal ist es nur eine kleine Erweiterung der Definition. Jedes Mal dient die anfangs etablierte Entmenschlichung als Fundament für die gesamte Rechtfertigung dieser Handlungen. Jedes Mal nur ein bisschen mehr und ein bisschen anders nach Unten treten.

Keinen Schritt nach Rechts bedeutet bei sowas von Anfang an nicht mitzumachen: Migrant:innen und Geflüchtete mit mehr als nur Menschenwürde entgegenzutreten, sondern sie gleichwertig zu behandeln. Warum sind wir so blöd und finden uns immer mit dem Existenzminimum bei Bürgergeldempfangenden und Mindestlohn ab? Letztendlich wird das dennoch weiter gestrichen, trotz dem dabei inherenten Verstoß des Grundgesetzes. Man verdient keinen Respekt in dem man gehorcht und sich den Konditionen der Unterdrücker unterwirft. Kämpft für weitaus mehr als möglich scheint, denn nur so wurde unsere Welt geschaffen, und auch nur so kann sie endlich sterben.

If you haven’t voted, go vote. GO VOTE. DO IT! #YourRightsMatter #YouMatter #HarrisWalz2024InALandslide

The Jesus ads on TV bother the shit out of me. Keep your religion to yourself. Ads make me hate it all the more.

We ask that you remain vigilant and take the following steps when handling suspicious calls:

If a caller asks you to repeat unusual phrases or requests information that doesn't seem related to normal library services, politely ask for their name and their relationship to the library—whether they are a student, researcher, or another type of patron.

Attackers may ask you to repeat phrases for several reasons, including recording your voice for fraudulent activities like voice authentication systems or testing whether they can extract information for future attacks. These tactics can subtly build rapport, lower suspicion, and gather useful details for more advanced schemes.

#WritersCoffeeClub 11/4: Do you find your writing skills or writer's instinct useful in other walks of life?

Being able to construct a decent sentence is pretty useful. So is being able to imagine another person’s perspective and how they might receive your beautiful sentence.

@gpilz @WAHa_06x36 @gwm i mean have you guys even asked the palestinians, like those IN PALESTINE what candidate they prefer? maybe someone should do that.

#KamalaHarris #Kalamazoo, #Michigan rally speech

After thanking #MichelleObama, Harris launched into her stump speech highlighting her achievements as California’s attorney general.

When some of the crowd chant “lock him up”, she interrupts: “The courts are going to handle that - we’re going to handle November”.

We have someone who full-throatedly supports abortion, birth control, gay marriage, and workers rights versus someone who has openly talked about rolling this stuff back. We have someone who despises fascists versus someone who openly praises them.

For the final time, what are we doing here people? If there's only one lesson we take away from Nazi Germany, it should be: Don't let the fascists take power. Ever. Because they won't give it up willingly.

"Marriages used to last."

Most women couldn't get bank accounts or credit cards until the 1970's.

Yeah the pollution can be a problem, and SpaceX will not be the only one, other nations will follow.
