I should totally do this. My bf's snoring is super funny 😂

Omg trueee
I'm pretty sure people on the streets are scared of me, cause of my height and masc appearance. But they have no idea that I'm much more scared of them. That I'm actually really soft and weak. That I'm not a threat in the slightest. And I just wish that I could signal that to them somehow...

Inb4 the bidet army shows up.

I swear...so many of you girlies are fucking gorgeous and you somehow don't even see it 😭
I hope you can, one day. I love you all 💜

Google plans to support 1.4 GW of wind, 200 MW of solar, and 300 MW of battery storage as part of its proposed 780-MW Minnesota data center development. Opposition remains strong in Pine Island, where residents have raised concerns about water consumption, environmental impacts, and the long-term implications of the development.

Explanation: David Graeber's Debt: The First 5000 years has a section talking about this (it's the one about Islam in the Middle Ages for those interested), but basically Medieval Muslim society collaborated to actively keep the state away from people's day to day lives, leading to a system where the whole market ran on honor and good vibes. Unsurprisingly, this looked nothing like the world "free market enthusiasts" envision, at least partially because it was impossible without the Islamic ban on usury. Relevant excerpt:

Large-scale merchants were referred to as sahib al-mal, "owners of capital," and legal theorists spoke freely about the creation and expansion of capital funds. At the height of the Caliphate, some of these merchants were in possession of millions of dinars and seeking profitable investment. Why did nothing like modern capitalism emerge? I would highlight two factors. First, Islamic merchants appear to have taken their free-market ideology seriously. The marketplace did not fall under the direct supervision of the government; contracts were made between individuals-ideally, "with a handshake and a glance at heaven"-and thus honor and credit became largely indistinguishable. This is inevitable: you can't have cutthroat competition where there is no one stopping people from literally cutting one another's throats.

Something tells me this isn't what the neoliberals have in mind, but then again another thing tells me neoliberals are full of shit.
