Ofc situations are different everywhere in the world but that shouldn't be an excuse to not make changes!
A little example, that I am personally very happy with:
If you are spotted with a firearm(fake or real) here in the #Netherlands, a special police unit will be called in to arrest your ass..
Weapons are NOT normal, if you feel you have to carry it something is wrong around you or with you..
Stop making excuses.. it's getting old real fast

Particularly if you're LGBT, female, or your skin tone is anything but beige.
This is *not* the way scientific papers typically begin:

We are running out of time. Ecosystems across the planet are being destroyed at an accelerating rate. The life sciences β once a field dedicated to the study of living systems and our interactions with them β are increasingly becoming sciences of the dead. Up to one million species are currently threatened with extinction, many of them within decades.
_________________________
It's a very good sign, however, an indication that at least some scientists are now ready to speak boldly and unequivocally about the greatest emergency our species has ever faced.

And he's eliminated the EU market for Russian energy, permanently. They're never going to rely on them again.

Phillips O'Brien's weekend update on the war. This week very much about weapons deliveries and the fact that a lot of positive news drowned in discussions about Germany's baffling indecisiveness on tanks. https://phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/weekend-update-12?publication_id=1176440&isFreemail=true
@DidiQ Yes, DeSantis IS a White Supremacist.
White Supremacy SHOULD be designated a Domestic Terrorist group.
Actually, I thought it already HAD BEEN.
WHY is our justice system so damn SLOW?
We need harsher laws for DOMESTIC TERRORISM!

Extrapolating from a single data point (Earth) is sketchy, but I lean in the direction of yes, there's other life, and other intelligent life, out there. It seems unlikely that it only happened here. Earth just isn't that special or different.
Hey people of Mastodon. When I was 18 I made a cover to Don McLean's Vincent. I made the video private years ago because I was a teenager and thought I looked ugly. I do not look ugly haha I know it now but it doesn't matter, it's an emotional cover that I was happy to make. Hope you like it β€οΈ would love to hear your thoughts.

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
