You know if I hadn't been disabled my whole life, I probably would have been a gym rat/grabbling martial artist. Makes me almost happy to have a collagen defect....

Regardless of how bad climate disasters become, the state will still fight to kill off the "undesirables" of society. They're still actively sweeping unhoused folks in LA. They are still heavily relying on prisoners to fight the fires. They are still going after black families with false accusations, they are still murdering drug users, implying they are starting fires!

It's almost as if we're seeing the techbro class all having mass mid-life crises at once.

Instead of hiring that ghost writer, they're outsourcing it to a stack of GPUs.

Then they realize that they don't enjoy creative work, and in their privilege, assume everyone is like them.

And they're so unable to stop min-maxing their empty little lives for profit they can't resist productizing it.

Now, with your help and Cvkvlv.com, we have brought the Cvkvlv back to life for all to know about in my art and life. My hope is my beadwork and other art brings good medicine to you in honor of the great Cvkvlv!

Mvto!โ€จ

Thought to be extinct, the Cvkvlv was heavily affected by the removal of Indigenous people from its habitat, including the Mvskoke, in the Trail of Tears and other removals. After that, for a hundred years colonizers further destroyed its habitats until it could live no longer.

Woodpeckers are medicine birds, respected for their persistence and power

The largest and strongest of the woodpeckers is the Cvkvlv, the ivory-billed woodpecker. Traditional Mvskoke medicine practitioners still use songs about the Cvkvlv. Its own song was recorded only once, in 1935.

Fuck having resolutions for 2025, we need to start having revolutions already :acab_car: :anarchy:

"We survived centuries...because we knew what we were doing and used every scrap of a tool at our disposal. That is how we can continue to survive and how, if they dared listen to us instead of hating us, we could lend ourselves to others who wish to survive."

Eight more Quercus mexicana acorns (lower right on tray) showing signs of sprouting. They seem to take their sweet time: these have been soaking for weeks (albeit outdoors). The eight are now in tall paper pots with potting soil. #Trees #ClimateReady #AssistedMigration

The rich will not escape climate change and the ensuing catastrophic ecological collapse.

โAccording to the Peoria Police Department, which is investigating the police shooting, a woman called police, saying her 23-year-old ex-boyfriend was threatening her and pointed a gun at her in the area of 47th Avenue and Glendale Avenue around 7 p.m.

She gave officers a description of him and the pickup truck he drove off in.

The truck was parked on Diana Avenue along the north side of the park.

Officers approached the truck but couldnโ€™t see inside because of the dark-tinted windows.

They tried calling for anyone inside, but no one answered; thatโ€™s when they noticed a man sitting at a gazebo at the park, investigators said.

Officers thought he was the ex-boyfriend, so they told the man to raise his hands.

He didnโ€™t obey and โ€œmade a movementโ€ toward his waistband, Peoria police said.

One Glendale police officer fired his gun, hitting the man.

The victim, only identified as a 46-year-old homeless man from Tucson, died at the scene.

No guns were found on the man or in the park, police said.

After the shooting, officers checked out the truck more and found the ex-boyfriend inside, who had shot himself, investigators said.

He was taken to the hospital, where he later died.โž

Just got kicked out of a tech group chat for claiming that the standard Bay Area interview process is systemically racist. Invite me to your private spaces. I swear this isn't a frequent thing that happens to me!
