Wait, so you’re telling me an American citizen was walking down an American street, exercising her freedom of speech, and got surrounded and harassed by a mob waving foreign flags and chanting allegiance to a foreign country because they were offended by her T-shirt?
That is objectively un-American.
Maturing is realizing they never burned witches. They burned midwives, healers, herbalists, and knowledgeable women.
Women who understood medicine, nature, and their own autonomy. Women whose knowledge threatened patriarchal control. The "witch hunts" were never about magic, they were about silencing women who couldn't be controlled.
Farmers are reporting that data centres are destroying their bees. I don't think people understand how important this is. Bees pollinate about one in every three bites of food we eat. They're far more important to humanity than any Al tool or data centre.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it’s illegal for landlords to:
- Lock you out or evict you without a court order.
- Shut off your heat, hot water, electricity, or other essential services to force you out of your home.
- Retaliate against you for reporting unsafe conditions or exercising your tenant rights.
- Leave serious health and safety hazards, like mold, unrepaired.
- Discriminate against you because of your race, disability, or other protected characteristics.
This is your friendly reminder that data centers don't actually need water. They need a cooling system and are using water because it's the cheapest way to do it.
the air quality sucks, the food gives you explosive diarrhea, we have no public transport, medical care is unaffordable, they’re tearing down forests to build AI data centers and I still have to clock in for work
