if you feel powerless to do something about distant injustice, do something about local injustice.

Bezos's stepfather was a multi-millionaire. So was his father. His grandfather was the first director at DARPA. He had every single institutional & familial advantage & was making a ton on Wall St when Amazon launched. This re-write is just pathetic
The shape of your pollinator garden matters more than its size.
Most native bees have small foraging ranges. Peer-reviewed research on solitary bees found female flight distances of just 73 to 121 meters from the nest. A small bee born in your neighbor's yard might not reliably reach a flower patch in the middle of your yard if there's a length of mowed grass between them.
What works is linear pollinator habitat. A strip along a fence line, a corridor along the driveway, or a narrow band of natives running the full length of the property is best.
A 2018 study in the journal Ecography found that the length of linear semi-natural habitat was the single strongest predictor of wild bee species richness and connectivity in agricultural landscapes. Bees track edges.
A 2-foot-wide strip running 50 feet does more ecological work than a 10x10 island in the middle of the lawn. The strip gives pollinators a route to follow, something that guides their movement across the landscape.
The effect multiplies when your neighbors do the same. A strip along your fence meets a strip along theirs, and so on.
An Ainu group in Hokkaido has filed Japan's first lawsuit demanding the government return 279 ancestral remains held at the state-run Upopoy memorial. They argue that under Ainu tradition the community, not the state, holds the right to care for its dead.

Any time Black people stand up for themselves or their own, here comes somebody whining, “You can’t fight fire with fire.”
But Black people have been burning for centuries. Don’t lecture the man in the fire about the temperature of his resistance.
Trick question: Anywhere because the point of NYC is people will mind their own business
The subway is a great space for this because people yell all the time
People also just randomly yell on the sidewalk
If you care about people around, you must not need to scream that badly
Out in front of Walgreens panhandling with my friend to make enough money for her to get some cigarettes and eat. She is educated and well spoken but disabled with COPD. This should not be where we are at in life. If you would like to help us virtually panhandle my info is in my pinned. She is just trying to get something to eat tonight because all they are giving us tonight is a small bowl of soup
