Think of it a a resume for potential friends, after all your neighbour isn't likely to invite you into their home for dinner until they know a little about you, it's the same on social media.

Women Waiting For "The Men"
👵 Woman moves into retirement home 🏠 and her tv 📺 " isn't working" quite right.
I make a couple suggestions.
Her reply is her 👩 daughter and granddaughter will help but must be patient and wait because "The Men" 👨 are "out in the fields " 🚜 and after the fields are prepped and planted "The Men" will sort out the problem
Her granddaughter shows up and I ask if she can help her grandmother.
Her reply: "I wouldn't know what to do. We must wait until The Men finish in the fields"😳
So I'm staring at these helpless women, thinking about when I was on my own, a single mom returning to school, then working, *learning* to do:
home repairs; car maintenance; fixing my motorcycle engine; repairing fences; fixing household appliances; building an add on room; ripping up and replacing kitchen flooring; building loft beds for my kids; adding wall insulation; computers (!) and so much more...
I wanted to break down and cry 🥹 for the granddaughter because though through those years I struggled, and sometimes despaired, each challenge I faced and overcame, built up my confidence, improved my sense of self-work, and made me realize I was strong, independent, and capable...
something these women will never experience. because.. ..
Waiting For The Men.😔

I've talked with a couple people under the influence of LSD and nothing they imagined was as crazy as this ⬆️

😟 I'm finding it impossible to believe your goal is transparency in government when your avatar is a guy in heavy dark shades and a hat covering your hair.

Age verification is not a "good idea" for anyone.
It doesn't stop youngsters from accessing ' illegal" sites, they will find a way around it, but what these laws do accomplish is:

- Everyone, will have to upload their official ID on the internet, thus exposing all *your* personal information to hackers via data leaks.

*Your ID* can then be used to do all sorts of fraudulent activities, and *you* will be responsible for untangling the mess -- it will take years , plus you will be forced to pay out all legal fees, not the website or the government.

Additionally, because the government can monitor every keystroke from your computer or other device, you could be penalized for your opinion....not to mention I don't want to live in a dictatorship like North Korea, China, or Russia --censorship is terrible for democracy.

-kids will learn how to become 'hackers' in order to circumvent law so, I ask you how does this improve the life of children or yourself?

Too many corporate media companies and some conferences

🫨 ⚡⛰️ 🔊 Scientists learn that acoustic patterns are emitted just before landslides happen

Scientists have identified a distinct acoustic pattern that a hillside emits as it approaches collapse, marking the first time such a signal sequence has been clearly defined.

That sequence turns internal soil movement into a readable progression, offering a way to recognize instability before surface damage appears.

🇨🇦 🇺🇸 This woman still doesn't quite understand our point,, it's not only the threats from Trump we hate it's also his policies.

"Kathleen Stefik, a 59-year-old Trump voter, said she personally feels the hostility from Canadians and has curbed her own trips to Canada in response. 👉 While she agrees with some of Trump’s policies, including on immigration, she acknowledges that his rhetoric about Canada has been damaging. “What a jerk … shut up, just stop. Be a president, act like a president.”
