Last January, I noticed something peculiar in my 2yo’s bedroom that - after a year of obsessive reporting - led me to a profound cosmic revelation about what’s even possible in our universe. A 🧵.
1. YOUNG WOMAN ARRESTED IN DAWN POLICE RAID FOR HOLDING A SIGN WITH THE LAW ON IT
At 6.15am on Wednesday 18 October, 5 policemen pulled up outside the house of @IndigoRumbelow in an unmarked police car 🧵
I don’t wear 🌈 items to tell you who’s in my bed. I wear 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ so the family across the street knows they are safe. So the couple in the restaurant know they aren’t alone. So the boy who sees me notice him looking at dresses knows I won’t judge. I wear pride bc you make them hide
We need a majority of people to know 5 things, which they largely do not:
1. Pollution from oil, coal and gas is heating the earth and causing dangerous weather.
2. All the climate scientists agree.
3. We must move quickly if we are to save a livable climate.
4. There are exciting solutions available right now, most of which save money.
5. Big polluting companies knew, lied, and stopped action. They need to pay to clean up their mess.
@krassenstein@whdd7777 Might as well hope AI will solve all the others too while it’s at it. But no matter how much hoping / wishing / praying you do, neither AI, nor luck, nor God will fix our problems for us.
@doug_parr Meanwhile in Britain I’m paying 32.7p per kWh, for renewable electricity, because apparently prices are tied to fossil fuel generated power.
@AtheistRepublic Separation of church and state, and freedom of religion are in the constitution - so no specific religion should be promoted in schools. Freedom and equality are in the constitution, and should be taught in schools.
@krassenstein “shows featuring "male or female impersonators" who perform in a way that is "harmful to minors"” Are shows that are “harmful to minors” but don’t feature “male or female impersonators” ok? The law isn’t about the harm to minors, that’s just the excuse.
@keswickbootco @cumbriacolin @Sunnysidegh@rfj1966 Sorry we didn't get to you! We have tried contacting all LA/CA postcode residents and have a big promotion every year. 50% off in the winter & 20% off in the summer. No need to be in Cumbria Tourism, just a resident of those postcodes. 😀
