"Can you explain this gap in your resume?"

Yes. Life is about more than constant and meaningless toil for 40-50 years and a desolate twilight of failed ambitions. The social contract is broken and the system is a lie. You and I are both trapped in the same Sisyphean hell, where no amount working harder or longer will ever truly grant the rewards we were promised. The real question is, why are there no gaps in YOUR resume?

Errr, freelancing. I was freelancing.

Right now, the entire country of Denmark is using 4.245MW of electricity.

Windmills are producing: 3.442 MW
Solar is producing: 746 MW

So if we do the math, wind + solar = 98.7% of our energy use right now is 100% renewable

Just a reminder that not only can we fix climate change, we are fixing it.

Thinking about it, is also useful for sighted people to highlight the salient parts of an image. I once posted what to me was a picture of a small sock on a stick drying over a campfire with the caption "child in pond incident". Turns out most people noticed the roaring fire not the sock, prompting many frantic "No no no we didn't set the child on fire as a punishment!" replies.

Folks, if you want to justify your transphobia as a personal belief, that’s your right.

But using botany to do it, when plants can be either sex, both sexes and even swap between them at will, is a really poor example to pick.

@AlanBell honestly I'm kind of hoping they come to the UK soon, I'm quite curious to try them!

David Graeber got an economist to admit that he was not aware of single case where a company was fined more than the profit it turned breaking the law. He summarized this as the government saying: "Do all the crime you want, but if we catch you, you have to give us a cut."

No tomato shortage here - but I’m in Kherson, a frontline Ukrainian city that gets shelled by the Russians daily, not a British supermarket.

It's passed! Spain has now moved to self-ID for trans folk, lowered the age for changing your gender marker, AND a ban on conversion therapy 🎉

That's one step away from the medicalisation of trans people in Europe, and a huge win for the LGBTQ+ community in Spain 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Jokes aside, this is standard M.O. for the anti-CRT / anti-wokeness / anti-PC crowd: Scream that you support free speech and want to free everyone's minds ... and then define progressive thought as intrinsically oppressive and indoctrinating. Hence, the state must engage in viewpoint-based suppression ... in the name of freedom.

It’s amazing how business want to run on data, but when presented with the successfulness of a 4-day work week, that’s not the data they want

#Random question but does anyone know a good and relatively #foolproof #recipe for lime pickle?

All recommendations welcome.

And yes, I could just buy some, but where's the adventure in that...

Over to the #mastoverse...
