I’ve been seeing for a long time that we are raising a generation of rape culture. The president of the United States is an adjudicated rapist UC how he treats women journalists screaming at them verbally abusing them. Be friending the Tate Brothers covering up the Epstein files. He’s given permission to an entire generation.

Ugh, you guys. I don't want to be the one to point this out, but people keep referring to her as "unconscious" while this SEVEN HOUR assault was occurring. The primary drug they used to sedate and abuse her was Ketamine. Ketamine induces profound motor impairment. She probably was not unconscious for much of that time. They just literally immobilized her so that she was physically incapable of fighting back. It's apparently "family weekend" on campus right now. There better be *riots*

Be careful how you treat local corvids.They don’t just remember faces they build multi-generational threat files and teach them to their offspring. A single bad encounter can stick for years. The bird that experienced it warns the whole neighborhood, and young birds learn the blacklist before they ever meet you. Jackdaws and crows run a living social database on us. Treat them well. The record lasts longer than you think.

FOUR DAYS BEFORE HIS OWN INAUGURATION, A FOREIGN ROYAL WIRED THE TRUMP FAMILY HALF A BILLION DOLLARS IN SECRET Not a rumor. Not a leak. Documented. Sheikh Tahnoun bin Zayed — Abu Dhabi's deputy ruler, UAE's national security adviser — bought 49 percent of World Liberty Financial through a shell entity Half a billion dollars total. $187 million of it routed straight into Trump family entities. Four days before Donald Trump raised his hand and took the oath Then the payoffs started rolling in Changpeng Zhao pleaded guilty to money laundering in 2023. Ran Binance. Processed cash for terror groups. Donald Trump pardoned him in 2025 Days later — DAYS — Binance started promoting World Liberty Financial's coin on its US platform. The same platform the Trump family had just partnered with through a foreign monarch's secret cash Meanwhile the DOJ crypto enforcement unit — the one that actually built the Zhao case, the one that actually built the BitMEX case — got disbanded. Gone. By year's end the SEC filed fewer enforcement actions than in twenty years Wall Street Journal reports Binance fired its own employees this year for flagging a billion dollars moving to sanctioned Iranian entities. Same exact conduct as the guilty plea. Same platform. Zero consequences American families who lost people on October 7th are suing Binance right now, alleging it moved money for Hamas and Hezbollah Don Jr's net worth jumped sixfold. Eric's jumped tenfold. Trump personally disclosed over a billion dollars in crypto income while regulators got defanged and a foreign royal's secret half-billion sat quietly in the family ledger This isn't a policy disagreement This is a foreign government buying a sitting president's family business four days before he took power, then watching him pardon the very felon whose platform pumped that business And nobody in this administration is even pretending to be embarrassed

As embarrassing as it sounds, I didn’t know you had to change your bedding weekly until I moved out. My lifelong rashes on my chest started to go away after discovering that. I was so, so itchy growing up and sneezing constantly. I don’t think we changed the sheets nearly enough, nor did I find out about things like allergy covers, eucalyptus spray (anti-dust mites) for bedding and air purifiers until I was living on my own. I knew I always had eczema and histamine intolerance due to a variety of environmental and nutritional factors. I never put together that dust mites could also be making my reactions to dietary intolerances (namely brain fog) more aggressive. The leakier your gut is, the more allergens and irritants can pass into the bloodstream and overwhelm your immune system. Added to my file of ADHD is also a histamine issue: environmental edition
Is your house giving you leaky gut? A 2016 study found that house dust mite allergens can reach the gastrointestinal tract and may contribute to intestinal barrier dysfunction. "In colonic biopsies from healthy patients, HDM [house dust mites] increased epithelial permeability (p<0.001), reduced expression of tight-junction proteins and mucus barrier. [...] Results were confirmed in vivo in mice. In patients with IBS, HDM further deteriorated gut barrier function, induced TNF-α but failed to induce IL-10 secretion (p<0.001)." To minimize exposure, wash your bedding weekly, minimize clutter, wipe down surfaces, vacuum frequently (incl. vacuuming the upholstery), and keep indoor humidity low. Dust mites tend to concentrate in bedding, upholstered furniture, curtains and drapes, carpets, and plush toys.

When I got diagnosed with cancer I received a phone call from someone at my insurance company. She said she was a nurse and was calling to offer support and another point of contact. She wanted to walk through my entire medical history. This is how bad the insurance companies have sullied their reputation: I refused because I couldn’t be sure she wouldn’t try to use what I said against me during my treatment.

Last night about 360 million birds were forecast to fly over the US. Tonight it's about 433 million. The heaviest flying runs from Indiana and Ohio down through Kentucky and Tennessee into Alabama and Georgia. Most of them are small songbirds heading south for the winter. They fly at night, and weather radar picks them up after sunset, which is how they get counted. If you can, turn off your outside lights tonight. Bright lights pull them off course.

Anytime someone tries to make fun of humanities degrees as “basket weaving,” think of this. Basket weaving is a site of cultural and indigenous knowledges, fugitive ecologies, plants as material, oral traditions, folk wisdom, and artistry. This is so beautiful.

The number of independent bookshops in Britain and Ireland is at a 14-year high. This follows a mini-resurgence in book buying, which, some research suggests, is being driven by young people. In these days of digital overload, this is a hugely encouraging development. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c95y…

For 300 years the English government in Ireland tried to make it illegal for an Irish family to spend the summer with its cows. The practice was called booleying. Every May the household left the winter village and walked the herd up into the hills, to a cluster of huts on the summer pasture, and lived there until October. Grandparents, children, the lot. The men came and went. The women ran the booley, and the booley ran on milk: fresh, soured, curdled, buttered, and eaten as the day's meals. The grass was free because it was up a mountain, and a family that owned 8 cows and a mountain wanted for nothing until the frost. The English could not stand it. A people that walked away every summer could not be counted, tithed or made to plough. The Statute of Kilkenny, 1366, forbade the Irish to booley their cattle on any land held by the English, and licensed the English to seize the herd if they did. By 1612 the King's attorney general in Dublin could report that it had been made penal for an Englishman even to allow it. Edmund Spenser, who had been handed 3,000 acres of confiscated Cork, wrote a whole pamphlet on what was wrong with Ireland, and this was near the top of it. Living out with the herd, he said, taught the Irish to be wild and to feed themselves without a master. That was the objection, in his own words. Booleying was outlawed because it worked. The remedy, over the next century, was to take the hills, fence the grass, put the family on a rented acre in the valley, and hand it a potato. The last booleys in Ireland were still walked up the hills of Achill in the 1940s, by people who had been told for 600 years that their summers were a crime.

I tell my Gen Z son & his friends that I grew up with “struggle meals” and Government Cheese, and they looked at me like I had 2 heads. Kiddos, I’m still alive at age 56 due to Hamburger Helper, canned tuna, instant ramen, Kraft Dinner, Dinty Moore Beef Stew, and Wolf’s Chili. My folks couldn’t afford fresh produce or other fresh ingredients during the 80s. They lost our house because of the variable balloon payment on their mortgage in the late 80s. That was the only way they could buy our house at the time. The late 80s sucked financially for our family.
