Wir sollen angeblich die Meinungsfreiheit einschränken, wenn wir einfach nur Faktenchecks machen und Artikel schreiben, aber für gerade jeden zweiten Artikel kriegen wir eine Abmahnung oder werden vor Gericht gezerrt. Selbst bei Artikeln über Abmahnungen. Es ist der Wahnsinn.

Sorry, sometimes it's just... Look, I'm literally someone who studies the occult and has done rituals to contact the dead and my mind is still blowing at the thought that we have people in high positions of the government pushing policy to literally set up a ritual to bring about the Apocalypse.

Anyone who claims to know exactly what’s going on right now and what exactly is about to happen is full of shit. This is one of those moments when we all need to slow down and be skeptical of most “information” out there. The best weapons of propagandists are fear and confusion.

Taking the year off touring comedy, rawdogging all the fear of becoming One Of Those Womany Women Who Give Up On Real Work to Breed, Boo Not Real Artists, and realising a big ol chunk of that pressure to keep actualising your selfhood through work is a sneaky way to keep you productive in capitalism

Part of the problem is of course, billionaires The owners of the Wonderful company (and Fiji water!), the Reznicks, are one of the big players in utterly fucking ruining the water rights situation in California, and they use it on wasteful ass almonds. Despicable.

And they SHOULD NOT be grown here! We do not have the climate for them! I like almonds fine, but there are much better milk substitutes than almond milk, and pecans taste better, anyway! Why are we destroying our state for, at best, a MID nut?!

Almonds are grown almost entirely in California. Pecans are native to the eastern US and are grown commercially in the south, with Georgia growing 35% of the crop. Once abundant in the Mississippi Valley up through Illinois, pecan trees have largely been supplanted by crops. 2/4
