While the results are obvious to most people, it's important to do these sorts of studies and articles so people have somewhere to point when developers are pushing for more car centric infrastructure.
I feel this. When I start looking at the whole political climate I get very distressed, angry, and hopeless but I've found focusing on the small and my own local community has really helped. I can't change what policies are happening in other regions but I can try to make positive changes in mine. I can see what gaps our community has and try to fill them. When you set your eyes too high you can miss some important steps you need to take to get where you're trying to go.
With the alt-right push to get involved in school boards and local councils, now is THE time to get involved and push back. Real changes start small. Get involved in the established community groups that interest you, start your own if you have something particular your community needs, and learn local politics as its will be much more applicable and just much less to learn than remembering everything happening all at once on a national level.
Burnout is real. When I'm feeling good, i organise the things i want to do into checklists with big and small projects so when the burnout comes for me i can find a few boxes I have the energy to tick. (Things like picking up rubbish at the park, side of the road, baking something for a neighbour) Ticking them off and feeling like I've done something positive really helps light the fire again.
You can only do what you can do. Starting really small and building up your involvement is the best way to starve off burnout.
Remember when reddit made fun of 9gag for the watermarked memes?! History doesn't repeat but it sure does rhyme
The top is linen and made with the (free) peppermint wraptop pattern and the shorts are made from a damaged quilt I found at a charity shop. I was also able to make a bag, pair of dungarees, and a hat from this quilt! I did add pockets to the shorts but these patterns didn't really need any altering. The bag is self drafted, just a slouchy backpack with a fron pocket and drink bottle holders.
Its the tiny white arrow drop down
I think the mods want kind of a one way gate so since beehaw has more restrictions, beehaw users could venture out unhindered but the lemmy world users wouldn't be able to post or comment here unrestricted. I dont know what will be possible but it would be nice to have some sort of whitelist where posters from other instances could be white listed. With no entry requirements, the two instances removed are really easy for trolls to create as many accounts as they would like to harass.
If you have jerboa you can have the multi accounts feature to still access what ever instances you would like pretty seamlessly. I think the long term goal is more mod tools so that there doesn't need to be a giant wall but maybe some boarder patrol to keep the trolls out.
You can have it on jerboa, the Android app. I don't but i see.the option on my navigation bar
The shape of the leaf with the water is very cute.
Personally I don't think tolerating intolerance is just a differing opinion. I feel like excusing genocide puts them in a group of people i don't want to associate and I don't think an "opinion" like denying genocide should be sat at the same table as reality.
Don't mince my words, I hate all imperialistic governments who commit genocide and if there were posts about the US never having intentionally killed all the buffalo, trail of tears, those culture stripping schools etc or our own version of those schools here in Aotearoa I would be just as disgusted.
It took me ages and I hated the process but I absolutely love it. It's very dense. The base fabric was a peice of curtain. The yarns are a mix of what ever I could find. I bought some new and found some 2nd hand or was given them. It took a looooooot of yarn.
I want to make more but I'll have to invest in a rug gun first ๐
It feels like mostly hype to keep people living exactly how they are, thinking someoneelse is fixing the big problem. While plant breeding will be crucial in adapting our food systems with climate change, money for maginal increases in carbon absorbtion would be better spent on reforestation with the tree varieties we have now and implementing serious changes on how modern people live. What's happening now is just not sustainable. The level of consumption viewed as normal is not sustainable. Allowing corporations to pollute our planet for a few rich people to get even richer is criminal.
I'll always support plant breeding projects that can improve our world but it's so frustrating to me that it seems like money is spent trying to find any other way to fix a problem we already have solutions to.
But 3rd party app users are often content contributors or mods or the ones answering questions. I feel like reddit is about to use a chunk of real human active users
I see a thread of people shitting on an asshole calling human rights an opinion? It looks like he has 2/3 upvotes but if there was a downvote button i guarantee their comments would be in the negatives. It doesn't look like a debate to me but people telling someone that it's not a debate and if they think it is one they can go elsewhere. I guess the whole conversation could be removed but i think having one so full of support for transrights being human rights is good for other readers to see. If they agree with the asshole, they'll know their "opinions" aren't welcomed or supported here.
