We understand this correct? Project 2025 is not fringe on the right. It's just that everyone in the center and on the left doesn't pay attention to evangelicals cause y'all think they're funny and weird instead of wildly fucking dangerous. Project 2025 is dead serious and extremely popular.

Project 2025 is a creation of Evangelicals and it's the core mission of the evangelical right. It's what major evangelical organizations have been building towards for decades. It's not fringe. (I just fact checked a whole book a out this.)

My god, the Finns are right, sauna DOES cure everything!

This is so cool! Frog & amphibian have been dessimated by the disease chytridiomycosis, caused by a fungal pathogen. Researchers have realised that the fungi is heat intolerant so little brick saunas for frogs can help kill the fungi! Recovered frogs more resistant to further infxn 🧪

These frog 'saunas’ could help endangered species fight off a deadly funguswww.nature.com How a hot resting spot can help frogs survive chytridiomycosis infection, and the decades-long hunt for dark matter in black holes. Hear the biggest stories from the world of science | 3 July 2024

“They want to eliminate national parks” is a very simple way to get just about anyone on the Stop Project 2025 train. Are there much more glaring and life-threatening goals of P25? Yes but even your most bigoted cousin does not want to see the parks system sold for parts.

This!! Start with “they want to end no fault divorce, sell national parks, and ban porn” end with tax structure.

The biggest turning point in you life as an artist is when you shift gears from thinking “I can draw these things but not those things” to thinking “I can draw anything! Quality not guaranteed, but I can draw it”

Some sort of network to swap chores and useful items. Someone doesn't need yarn and knitting supplies any more but wants to explore scrapbooking. Someone needs help with yardwork but can cook or tailor clothes. That sort of thing.

Thank you for these response. Now for your level two imagination challenge: you go to the town square, the public library, the civic center and there are posters for upcoming meetings, for skill share, decision making, learning, and problem solving. What do they say?

I would see my front yard, and the yards around mine, planted with native flora, because some program would exist that sends people around to help plant and maintain habitat gardens for free or low cost to the community.

It's 2035. You just walked out your door into a world that got through the shocks of 2024 -26 more connected, a little ecologically healthier, with civil and human rights strengthened & with commitment to actually being a just & ecological society. What's the 1st thing you see?

When Twitter was useful and humming along, I used to say (re: being an independent creative online) "It's never gonna be easy, but it's never been easier." And it fucking kills me to consider that THAT may have been the high water mark. That we've SEEN as good as it gets for us.

Kids just getting started trying to be independent artists will never experience or understand what a real "grass roots" support network on Twitter or whatever can be like. I've mentioned this before but early Kickstarters I ran? 1/3rd of the funding was from Twitter.

Hey, so. I understand that this is anecdotal and not research, but. It is WILD how useless social media has become for promo. It's a fucking disgrace, really.

Someone once told me that by charging pennies for decent quality art, I'm letting my customers expect that other artists with similar quality should also charge pennies, and it helped me a bit to stop undervaluing myself.
