All one needs to know about the higher gasoline prices we experienced in 2022 can be seen in ExxonMobil financial reports.

10-year average of yearly profits prior to 2022: $18.9B
2022 profits: $55.7B

This GOP nowhere stunt would not impact gas prices by one cent per gallon

It would slow our progress towards a clean energy portfolio at a point where there is no time to waste making that progress.

In Germany, teaching the Holocaust is mandatory.

It includes visits to concentration camp, museums, etc. They don't shy away from their own ugly history. Yet the kids aren't damaged; they're strengthened, matured, humbled. The U.S. needs to do same with slavery.

Not that complicated.

@vyr Also if you use a Mac released this decade or an iPhone/iPad/Android device—basically anything except an old-school PC—you're using an ARM processor and that architecture was designed by Sophie Wilson, who is trans. It's the most widely used computer architecture. Computing this century is trans.

Back in the day, we didn’t have your fancy Altoids tins. If we wanted to pretend that no one knew we were hiding drugs, we had to hollow out a Bible.

The six feet rule was always bullshit with an airborne virus but it is not completely lacking in value. There are people who I still will not get within six feet of.

Look at all these people that revolve around me like I'm their sun. Talia_christine@mstdn.social

Happy #TransDayOfVisibility

My husband sent me a link to an adoptable Newfoundland puppy and then said we can’t handle another dog so I want to know what brand of cruelty this is.

I mean, he’s not wrong but also he’s very wrong.

Meanwhile... as I try to fold laundry, Casey parks himself.

I have three words to say to the White House and all the journalists who’ve said they won’t pay for blue checkmarks.

“Come to Mastodon”

People are starting to get it — that we need hopeful stories, solutions-based stories, not just more doomerism.

To all my fellow hopepunk/solarpunk writers, keep going.
