#ClimateDiary I am meeting more and more people who have decided not to have children for environmental reasons. Admirable, understandable, complex in each case, but also sad that this is now a wider, recognised phenomenon

Hey you, take good care of yourself.
After all, you're the only one of you that we have.

My photography is available on different type of prints including wood.

Each image is printed directly onto a sheet of 3/4" thick maple wood using archival inks designed to last for 75 years without fading or loss of color.

You can view all of my wood prints at https://pixels.com/profiles/3-chad-meyer/shop/wood+prints

Today a friend showed me two texts they had received:

“I can’t sleep at night.”
“I deal with families who have lost 40 members.”

Just try wrapping your mind around that. I can’t even.

if there is a ceasefire any time soon, and we have no guarantee of this, then it will only set up the conditions for the next war, in a year, or five years, or ten years. it wont include any right of return for palestinians. and it wont free shit.

if there is another 7 october type event, there is hardly any chance of palestinian victory, just like this past 7 october. but you can be assured there will be brutalities against civilians in israel again... followed by disproportionately more brutalities against civilians in palestine. *again.* and it wont free shit.

if by some unbelievable chance, hamas manages to take over all of palestine from the river to the sea, it will not institute a beautiful and peaceful binational state where all can live in harmony. it will murder jews in large numbers. i fail to see what would prevent them from doing this—they also murder dissident palestinians in gaza, after all. and it wont free shit.

there is only one solution: revolution. no hamas, no israel, no border, no bourgeoisie. the working class must unite and organize on its own basis.

MAGA hates Democracy.

They are quick to argue that America is a Constitutional Republic.

But slow to realize that a Constitutional Republic is a Representative Democracy.

Say it

On Tuesday, Amnesty Intl published a 74 page report at how Meta's lazy moderation practices contributed to the proliferation of hate speech/misinformation by Ethiopian state backed Facebook accounts with 100s of 1000s of followers, targeting ethnic Tigrayans in Ethiopia. During the 2020-2022 civil war, it led to real life polarization, massacres, mass arrests and generated consent for them all.

Mr Sunak said in a statement. “There remains the risk of those who seek to divide society using this weekend as a platform to do so.”

Nice to see the PM finally speaking out against Suella Braverman.

The Viking culture despised homosexual men. Not because homosexuality per se was considered taboo, but because homosexual men refused to carry the burden of sex with women. As a result, the rest of the tribe's men had to cover not only for themselves, but for the gay too.

Sex with a woman was considered a sacred duty of every man, because only men are capable to subdue and overcome these ungodly beasts. Refusing to participate in this time-honoured tradition meant other men were at a greater risk of injuries, among other things. And you never ever want to set up your bros for failure!

I once watched a "Where are They Now?" show about very famous & successful 1960's R&B artists.

I was shocked to see how many musicians lived lives of poverty; never seeung a dime of residuals for the continuing popularity of their music.

They'd been forced to sell their catalogs for pennies to pay "debts" to a music company. Cheated in contract negotiations.

Taylor Swift was right about what it takes to be successful in music. "Get a Good Lawyer"
