I do love a good public comment session at municipal meetings. Someone read a Walt Whitman poem because it’s not like the elected officials were paying attention to residents’ wants anyways. That was the caller’s opinion. A commissioner later addressed it by using a different Walt Whitman quote and let it be known she was an English grad back in the day.
Wow. I found the vitriol on BlueSky that I didn’t here on Mastodon. Bad stumble. For me, Mastodon was a breath of fresh air. Here when I use the discover feature, I encounter cool pics and people saying interesting things or giving compliments. I can lurk and read science posts I don’t understand and just like and boost other users’ content. I guess I’m saying thank you to the people here building a supportive community. I’m sticking around here where I’ve blocked under 5 people in over a year.
Yes!!!: As part of EU's net zero 2050 aim, the EU hopes to ban vague "eco" & "climate neutral" claims by 2026 unless verifiable. This move targets #greenwashing & disallows emissions offset claims. The EU would be strictest on such claims if approved. I agree that it's vital for honest consumer practices. #EURegs
Tonight I heard the term “colorblind racism” and we should all use that term to counter the people who say “I don’t see color”. #BlackMastodon#BlackFedi@blackmastodon
