🇸🇰 Slovakia plans to transfer about 300 electric generators to Ukraine. They will help civilian infrastructure — schools and hospitals — survive this winter

Ok, recovery people. I almost blew off my AA meeting to watch Meghan and Harry, but I didn’t. Almost.
I’m looking forward to watching it as if I know them or something. 🤷‍♀️

One of Trump’s buddies in the House said the quiet part out loud and tweeted his support for Trump’s call to “terminate” the Constitution.

Well, someone must’ve gotten to him because he deleted the tweet but not before Liz Cheney could screenshot it and troll Rep. Kevin McCarthy with it.

Well played, indeed. 👏

Entomology joke # 104

Everyone debates how long Ukraine can hold out if the war drags on, but how long can Russia hold out? Their troops are likely freezing to death without proper winter gear. They’re running out of weapons. And then there are the sanctions.

We are all stardust.

That oxygen you breath? That comes from dying massive stars, ending their light in a supernova.

The iron in your blood? Some massive stars dying, but mainly white dwarfs, the leftovers of dwarf stars like our own Sun, exploding.

The gold ring on your finger? Mostly merging neutron stars, leftovers from supernovae.

As a reminder for #COP15 in #Montreal:

"Our global food system is the primary driver of #biodiversity loss, with agriculture alone being the identified threat to 24,000 of the 28,000 (86%) species at risk of extinction."

If you are a gay/trans/bi/queer teen, your life really fucking matters and we need you here in this world. It's our collective fault, not yours, that you hear any other message. We need to do better. We need to create a safer world. And we need to rid people like Ted Cruz from power who endorse and spread hateful messages.

Very short days (4-5 hours) and long nights - I am sending good vibes from the quietness, serenity, purity and mystery of northern wilderness and environment.

The Respect for Marriage Act has just passed the House, 258-169, including 39 Republicans.

It will protect millions of LGBTQ families who otherwise would not have that protection. Senator Tammy Baldwin deserves enormous credit for her leadership in making this happen.

It is a very good thing that this bill is being passed, but it is also a signal of future obstacles. Do not get complacent. This does not end any battles for LGBTQ rights, but it does better prepare us for the battles to come.
