They have been saying, our governments that climate collapse is decades away, a hundred years, that we can "accommodate" climate changes.
Climate collapse is HERE NOW.
WE must Build All the Renewables Needed to make carbon fuels unneeded and redundant. Build enough solar and wind tio REPLACE ALL oil and gas, everywhere, every land, right now.
We must demand it now, force it if they do not begin.
@knitting day 5 of #knitting my #FayeSummerTop: I can actually put it on now, and it fits exactly as I had planned! Iβm so happy I could cry. I joined the front and back in the round, and the ease is bang on after I spent so much time doing knitting math to make sure it would fit correctly using different needles and yarn weight than the pattern recommended. It was my first time deviating like that, but I trusted my gauge swatch, math, and most importantly my capabilities/myself, and it totally paid off!
Or not voting at at all, because "both sides are the same".

Student loan forgiveness helps The Great Unwashed. Ew.
One of the things I love about Mastodon is that I can go on an angry political rant, make a joke about butts, talk to a very nice lady about Zucchini, chat about obscure Star Trek references, and learn about fossilized Sea Monster teeth all in the same 24 hours, in the same place.
What did you Mastodon today?
New study kills the myth of βMan the Hunterβ - women hunted in nearly 80% of surveyed forager societies.
Information about forager societies (allowing to reinforce the myth) mostly came from ethnographies written by 18th to 20th century white Euro-American men who visited communities and followed the local men around, often paying less attention to whatever women were doing.

Staring at one big list can be intimidating, and there are no clear "stop" points. Multiple lists make each one smaller, and more manageable.
YMMV, obviously.
@ScottSoCal @actuallyautistic That's a really good idea actually. I am usually the same with big tasks or projects (just hit it hard all in one go) but I like the idea of being able to.. not do that.
I think the reason I prefer the "hit it hard" approach is because I don't feel like I can trust mysef to get it done if I try to do it in smaller bits. But maybe if I do set myself specific interim chunks to do, so I can treat it like multiple smaller projects and do each in one go... Thanks for the idea!
@ScottSoCal @simplemycelium @actuallyautistic
Well, while your in there, you might as well just bust out the wall and replace everything else right?
Next time you tell the story you should dryly joke that week three was the hardest due to the lack of showers and the AQI alerts forcing you to keep the windows closed.
@RaymondEdwardF @simplemycelium @actuallyautistic
I'm not sure you'd want me to. That started because a $2 pin holding the shower door broke. By the time I was finished that $2 pin had cost me $2400.
@ScottSoCal @simplemycelium @actuallyautistic Well done! Do you want to come over and remodel my bathroom now that you have the process worked out?
