You can do this yourself. You can have this. You can make your world a more beautiful place. You can have a space full of native wildlife. All you need to do is find some native wildflowers and wait for their seeds to mature. Find or organize a seed swap and prioritize native plants. Liberate some seeds or plants if you happen to find some at a store. It doesn't have to be a yard either. It can be in a nearby park or along a sidewalk next to your apartment or in an empty abandoned lot down the street. You don't need permission, you just have to make sure you aren't caught. Wearing a hi-vis vest and looking confident and professional can carry you very far.

By show of hands- how many people know that the clanker bit started because Black people were making jokes about how the racism we experienced would be experienced by the AI?
Because it feels like the history around that keeps getting mythologized into something it wasn't, to excuse or explain the use, when it was always jokes about racism.... that became... Purposeful racism when white people got a hold of it 😅
I know this is just the algorithm trying to feed me drama to get me to engage but like seriously. First Badempanada calls a Black man a ZOGslave and tries to justify it to FD Signifier because "it's fucking funny" after also saying he (a white Australian living in Argentina) understands the racial history of the US more than Black American sociologists and anthropologists. And now some shit is going down in the TADC fandom (I have the tags blocked because I found the posts so annoying) and black creators are saying they made a racist joke and have white people defending it in their replies. Plus trans radfems are pushing a white, eurocentric version of transness and feminism that many black people have expressed discomfort with because it inherently rejects them, their gender expression, and even their cultural practices.
It's okay to be told you're doing something racist, it doesn't mean you're an evil person, it just means you grew up in a culture and a world that made you oblivious to racism and how it's casually perpetuated by a system that places white people at the top of the hierarchy while everyone else is deemed lesser (with one of the implications of that being that they're incapable of intelligent, good faith analysis and criticism). The onus is on you to listen and change your perspective and behavior instead of getting defensive and tripling down like you know the intricacies of racism better than the Black people who are trying to explain it to you.
If you can recognize that it's racist for east asians to buy black baby dolls and abuse them for "stress relief" then you can recognize that it's racist to use a neonazi term for Black people when being a reply guy in their twitter feed or to make racist jokes in an annoying cartoon or to assert that white femininity is the only acceptable kind of femininity. I shouldn't have to be the one explaining this, you should've listened when Black people were saying it.
I remember years ago, long enough ago that I was still using either Tiktok or Instagram regularly, because that's where I saw this, long enough ago that unfortunately I do not remember the username, I saw an older trans woman responding to a comment asking "how come we see trans women from your generation, but never trans men?" And her response was simple. "Unfortunately, it's because most of them are dead." Between lack of safe and legal abortions (which, hey, look what's an issue again), the HIV/AIDs crisis (which still is lacking in approved treatments for trans men, and they're still likely to be denied PrEP/PEP even when they should be eligible as sexually active queer men), and how many of them chose to take their own lives after being forced into marriages and other women's roles, a lot of the trans men that should be elderly right now did not make it.
And now, when I find myself making the mistake of going on Instagram, I get to see trans men themselves talking about how historically, trans men didn't do anything for the community, and so we need to step up now. Which, first of all, that isn't true, but second of all, if trans men's contributions are lesser, that makes a lot of sense if we listen to that trans woman talking about the trans men she was in community with back in the day. It's very hard to advance the trans cause if you're not alive.
Anyway. It's a really chilling answer. "Where are all the elderly trans men?" "They're dead." And I just wish more people saw that tiktok and listened to it and really took it to heart, now that we're in the age of "well obviously trans men have it so much easier."
As strikers break all across the country, take a moment to remember the great history of American Labor.
"On May 1st, 40,000 workers had gone on strike with at least twice as many unemployed laborers and other supporters filling the streets in solidarity.
It was a city on fire. Oral histories describe 80,000 people marching down Michigan Avenue led by anarchist Albert Parsons. In total, almost a fifth of the city participated in demonstrations. Yet they shot and killed us with no recourse. No wonder the first versions of the flyers that went out for a mass-meeting at the Haymarket instructed: “Workingmen Arm Yourselves and Appear in Full Force!”
And so, many did."

As more and more people are being forced to switch to Windows 11, Microsoft's most AI-malware-ridden OS yet, I've been putting together articles and links for how to undo the damage and save your battery, your RAM, your disk space, your privacy, and your sanity from this bullshit.
FIRST:
The easiest way to get rid of the majority of the bullshit that Windows is forcing on us, as of October 2025, is this one-stop-one-click debloat solution from a modern day hero:
A simple, lightweight PowerShell script to remove pre-installed apps, disable telemetry, as well as perform various other changes to customi
It's very easy, even if you're not tech savvy or get scared of pop up windows saying "ARE YOU SURE?" Yes, you are sure, I promise. This program takes maybe two minutes and will save you SO MUCH pain, time, and money (and exploitation).
Now that you've done that, here's the cleanup, to catch the little shit that the debloat might have missed (most of this will already be done by debloat, but hey, it's good to double check).
Microsoft wants to put AI everywhere on your PC, but you can take back control.
Even just reading about some of these features makes me angry. Fucking Copilot and "Discover" AI scrapers are in Notepad. NOTEPAD. And then there's this uncanny valley garbage:
No uncanny valley video calls for me, thanks! (Also, what else is it doing while it scans your face and listens to your calls? What else, microsoft? Because there was a lot of memory being assigned to this program for a simple "smooths your skin" add on).
Tired of Microsoft pushing ads throughout Windows 11? Here are the settings you can tweak to turn them off and reclaim some privacy.
The truly insane number of places they have stuck ads on your own home computer is sickening. Become Unmarketable.
Bonus:
Some background programs you probably don't need that are taking up space and how to remove them (Microsoft forums, 2024)
Your Samsung Galaxy Phone comes with 22 apps you don't need (Android Police, 2025)
How to disable the AI in firefox (still the only browser that lets you do this permanently) (Windows Report, 2025)
My windows 11 computer is by far the worst computer that I've used. Can't believe that I'm saying this but Chromebooks are both cheaper and better. Of course, it depends on what you want from the computer but for fucks sakes, you know what I mean.
My computer will glitch out despite being brand new, not turn on, or just straight up have horrible Bluetooth connections. The memory is "used up" like five months into using it.
Are you being fucking serious.
I've gone my entire life using Chrome books before now and while yes, it has its downsides, the downsides do NOT equate to what a windows 11 has.
My first experience with this computer was it not turning on. Like fresh out of the box.
Also, it's so slow! Like omg?!
Another thing that I'd like to add, they added this horrible toggle of "let ai autocorrect fix your work in real time. As well as help it Improve." And they put it DEEP in my settings. So they have been scrapping my work without me even knowing, no disclosure no nothing.
Had to turn this shit off but I am sure that it'll either not work or "mysteriously turn back on again."
I do not want you to use my hours of work for your shitty ai, FUCK OFF.
The attorney said in a filing that he didn’t understand ChatGPT “was not a search engine, but a generative language-processing tool.”
This is from 3 years ago when LLMs were just becoming a part of the mainstream. The lawyer generated pretty much their entire argument, which cited fake cases with fake judicial decisions and even fake quotes. When the judge did what any decent judge does and actually tried to look at the cases to get context to inform any sort of decision they might make, they realized none of it was real.
I think there are a lot of flaws with the US judicial system, but faithful, reliable, competent representation is the absolute bare minimum that should be expected. Anyways, watch this video at the 22 minute mark for an example of a more equitable anarchist justice system run by the Zapatistas, a militant indigenous liberation group in Mexico.

pretty sure I did the chrome//flags thing a while ago, but also i switched to firefox, which is not without the occasional bullshit, but is vastly less bullshitty than chrome.
This is why I treat genai "features" like the invasive blackberry bushes they are: cut, root, burn, and vigilantly watch for new shoots to uproot. I'm 54 years old and the world got by fine without genai for most of my lifetime.

I love that I learned about mega churches the old fashioned way many years ago.
I was on a train here in Denmark with my boyfriend at the time and we randomly got into a conversation with a very friendly young American guy. At some point he said he enjoyed how religion played a very small role here and mention growing up Christian and going to a mega church in the US.
We had no idea what he meant by mega church. He seemed equally surprised that we didn’t. When he explained it I remember feeling like he was explaining an alien culture to me. What do you mean it’s a church with room for thousands of people? Aren’t churches supposed to be close knit communities where people know each other? How can they hear the priest? Speakers? Yeah okay that makes sense. But can people even see the priest? Giant screens!? Okay that seems a bit much. What do you mean stage show!?
Please please imagine a very gentle American trying to not sound insane to two dumbfounded Danes with thick accents while they’re sitting on a train with the flat yellow flower fields going by at great speed outside on a bright summer day. It’s one of my favourite memories.
This is the inside of Lakewood Church, a place I drove past every single day to get to school while I went to university in Houston, Texas. It is owned by Joel Osteen, a bastard who initially refused to open this enormous space to some of the 30,000 people displaced by hurricane Harvey, a hurricane so intense that they considered making a new category for it (50 inches / 127 cm of rain fell over a 4-day period in Houston), until community backlash was so big that he had no choice. I made a ritual of flipping it off every time I drove past. It's not surprising, but it's still deeply ironic that one of the largest and wealthiest mega churches in the country would turn away people who just had their lives swept away in a flood.
A lot of mega churches also preach "prosperity gospel," which says that the more money you give to the church, the more blessings you'll receive from God. They exploit the sick, the poor, and the elderly by convincing them to send all of their money to the church instead of seeking medical treatment or community support by falsely promising that God will reward them once they've given enough money. Then people like Joel Osteen turn around and use that money to fund expensive vacations, buy fancy homes, cars, boats, and planes, and promote themselves to a broader audience so that they can find more vulnerable people to exploit, all while benefitting from the tax-exempt status afforded to religious institutions here in the US. They siphon money from those in need, don't contribute anything in taxes, and live a lavish life that their congregation will never get to experience, all while telling people it's because God chose to bless them and promising that someday they will get to have the lifestyle of the super rich as long as they keep sending in more money. They're regularly aired on TV and are on modern streaming platforms now, so you don't have to be local to donate to them. There are so many tragic stories of cancer patients refusing treatment and donating the money to mega churches instead because they're convinced God will heal them if they do, or elderly people giving away all their life savings because they thought it would bring them more blessings. It's the sick and twisted marriage of capitalism and christian evangelism, one of the US's oldest traditions.
Which tech billionaire was it who said that the goal is for intelligence to become a utility that people purchase from the rich? Anyways, go to your local library. When you can't search anything on the internet anymore because of online censorship and AI paywalls blocking access, your library will still have books that are free and uncensored

IDF soldier confirms ‘dog lines‘: shoot any Gazan who crosses, feed them to dogs
The Economist interviews Israeli troops who served in Gaza. Their testimony is chilling.
All men of military age were deemed legitimate targets. And military age is really open to interpretation: “It could be from 16 to 60 or even younger.”
“Most of the people that my unit killed were not armed. We had cases where we killed a lot of people, and we didn’t check if they had uniforms or weapons.”
Soldiers described the “dog line” – an invisible boundary around their positions. Any Palestinian who crossed was shot. Dogs gathered along the line to eat the corpses.
“Someone on guard duty sees someone, shoots him, kills him – we wouldn’t know what his story was or what he did.”
Genuinely this is one of the most beautifully animated things I've seen since the golden age of animation. I could actually cry for how much love they put into this jfc what a beautiful homage
