Via @NPR: More small airports are being cut off from the air travel network. This is why
"During COVID the airlines took $55 billion worth of money from the government for a variety of loans and PPP and all the rest of it. And as soon as COVID's gone, they start pulling out of markets like mine. I mean, they're literally abandoning rural America."
Tooters.org offers a confidential communication channel for women on the fediverse. If you are seeking support for issues of harassment, or solicitation please email care@tooters.org to speak with me. También en Español.
The women I have talked to the last 5 weeks since this program started proves to me it is essential to helping keep the fediverse a safe place to be.
If I follow you then you can DM me too!

Ah yes, there's a term for your opinion here... Ah yes, you're a snob.
Features other gems like complaining women don't even have makeup on, men haven't freshly shaved for their flight or god forbid someone wears comfy shoes!
And the fantastic quote "Well-dressed people never cause drama on a flight. [...] The troublemakers are the ones who look like they just rolled out of bed". I'd take someone rolled out of bed than a white man in a suit any day.
4 September 1930 | Czech Jewish boy František (Franta) Bass was born in Brno.
He was incarcerated in Theresienstadt ghetto on 2 December 1941. He wrote poetry there.
Franta was murdered in Auschwitz on 30 October 1944.
His poem "The Garden”.
A little garden,
Fragrant and full of roses,
The path is narrow
And a little boy walks along it.
A little boy, a sweet boy,
Like that growing blossom.
When the blossom comes to bloom,
The little boy will be no more.
Ciekawe jak zareaguje moje Urwisiątko jak z gramofonu usłyszy black metal. Oczywiście jeszcze nie teraz, bo jeszcze nie ma dwóch latek, ale może za rok czy maksymalnie dwa czas zacząć muzyczną edukację. Black i death metal (ten drugi z naciskiem na prog death), jazz, trochę elektroniki zahaczajacej o hip-hop instrumentalny to powinna być właściwa mieszanka.
I fear my vegetable harvest — especially the unprotected cucumbers — may soon be over, due not to the plants being finished flowering and fruiting, but rather to the destructive predations of wild animals roaming through the back garden. And these are the wild animals.
When you have a carbon-footprint heavy event in the middle of a desert called "Burning Man" and nature drops a deluge on you twice to put out the flames, that might be a sign.
In a group chat identifying mushrooms my tech bro friend went "just use AI".
What a great examle of the harm this automation does. The point of identifying something like plants or shrooms ourselves is not just in getting the answer, it's about what we learn along the way. Little details, differentiating factors, other species that look similar. And so much more.
With something like mushrooms this process of identifying (learning) is what keeps the mushroom picker alive, not just the ready answer. With the answer alone, we learn nothing. There is so much more to human decision making and processes than just the end point. To understand, we need to get there ourselves.
I would never trust an AI with my mushrooms, I would however always trust a seasoned picker who has spent a lifetime seeing all the variations that can happen. And I would still hesitate to eat something I am not myself 110% sure of.
So thanks, not using AI for that.
Away From The Idyll, Rural Poverty Is Rising
“During the first years of the pandemic, interest in moving to the countryside boomed as people dreamt of a better life away from big towns and cities. But away from the rural idyll, a more worrying reality exists – an unfolding poverty crisis which is being ignored by politicians in Cardiff Bay.”

Opuszczony dom przysłupowy w #Miedziana (Gmina Sulików). Takich domów na naszym ternie było bez liku - kiedyś - teraz pozostało niewiele. To wizytówka tego polsko-czeko-niemeickiego regionu #trójstykgranic jako Górnym Łużyc. W dużym skrócie - takie domy jakby z podwójną konstrukcją budowano tam gdzie znajdowały się często maszyny tkackie, które sprawiały spore wibracje. Konstrukcja przysłupowa miła zabezpieczy całą konstrukcję przed pękaniem i groźbą zawalenia.
