Doubtless you've heard that "we all get the same 24 hours in the day." Of course it's not true: rich people and poor people experience very different demands on their time. The richer you are, the more your time is your own - not only are many systems arranged with your convenience in mind, but you also command the social power to do something about systems that abuse your time.

'The Wizard' Iceberg
Hooker Glacial Lake, Mount Cook National Park in New Zealand's South Island.
Icebergs here form daily and are constantly moving around the lake, changing shape and size.
This iceberg would not look like this even an hour later.

You hear about the pressure to be clever online, but even before the internet you had to think of witty banter for the pauses in your sword fight

One of the funniest interactions I see online, is when Americans think it's inspirational that a young white US child is raising money not to buy themselves something, but to pay off their less privileged classmates' "school lunch debt."

US readers are like 🤗"Oh that's so precious! That sweet kid has a good heart!"

And EU readers are like 😮"Wait a minute... Go back a few steps... WTF is school lunch debt?! That's a real thing?! What is wrong with your country?!"

Got to love a good old fashioned, home made placard.
Get your markers out! Looking forward to seeing more on #WalkoutWednesday 15 March

My child told me they need a topic for an argumentative essay they have to write for school.

I am happy to announce they are now writing an essay on how cash bail for non-violent offenses merely serves to deprive the poor of their right to a presumption of innocence and the ability to effectively defend themselves.

If you are a person who is new to the fediverse, or who’s returning to explore after a while away, I can affirmatively say (as someone who has been here right from the start) that we’re all glad to have you, and excited to see what you share, and inspired by the new ideas you have for what’s possible here.

Next year, please let the dandelions grow!
🐝 They support over 50 insects species
🐝 They're a great early season food source for pollinators including bees, butterflies and hoverflies
🐝 Birds eat the seeds in autumn
🐝 No need to mow
And please don't use weedkiller!

People who say “dogs know bad people!!!!” crack me up. Ma’am, my dogs think traffic cones are dangerous, I’m not overly inclined to trust their risk assessment modeling.

MPs are being considered to be given medals. For doing their jobs.
From now on, I don't want to hear a single thing about my generation being handed participation awards.
They want better after job support? How about sorting out Universal Credit and Jobcentre then. Maybe update their CV?

Are there any #queer people from #romania on this platform? I have a question regarding life and safety of visibly queer people and don't want to trust Wikipedia. Which indicates that the situation isn't too great.
Boosts and suggestions appreciated!

What an incredible piece of journalism! This is how you write a balanced article on a subject mired in controversy — “balanced” and “both-sides” are not the same thing. This article doesn't compromise on accuracy or falls into the “if people believe it it must have some merit” trap.

I urge you to read this. It feels a bit repetitive in the first half, but worth reading through it all for its powerful conclusion

Fun story! In the early morning, this coyote would grab a newspaper from a porch in its neighborhood and play with it for a bit. The delivery guy figured it would be better for everyone if the coyote destroyed a free newspaper instead, so he’d toss one into this little park for the coyote to play with.

Pretty wild how Black people just used the phrase “stay woke” to mean “keep paying attention to what’s happening out there” and white conservatives were so mad about it that they decided it must be some kind of political ideology for them to oppose.

Under a new #OnlineSafetyBill amendment, online platforms will have to proactively remove such content.

The problem with capitalism is how it distorts the natural balance of Fucking Around & Finding Out by creating a class that is allowed nearly infinite fuckery with zero finding out
