Bedbugs.
I would line dry 100% of the time except my dad's house has a perennial bedbug problem. Dryer heat kills the eggs. Plain air drying does not.
So that's a caveat. I myself prefer lines and racks.

If you haven't tried filters on Mastodon yet, but you like content warnings, you might not know that individual filters have a "hide with warning" option that makes the post with the keyword look exactly like it's been CW'd.
I really like it. For instance, I put all my politics keywords in one filter so that on days I have cope, I can reveal each one if/as I'm feeling it. And on days of no cope, scroll on by, untouched. If I run out of cope, no problem.

At the US-80 stop I asked if they were looking for DUI's and after a pause the officer said yeah.
At the 49 West stop I asked if a prisoner had escaped (because we got three prisons in this town). The officer said, no, this is just something they do from time to time to keep everybody safe.
At the 49 East stop I asked if ICE is coming and the officer asked me if my tags were up to date or is this a rental car.

Mississippi law enforcement is doing something today. In one day I got stopped three times to show my license. They were stopping everybody.
Once on US 80, in between Jackson and Pearl, over by the I-55 interchange.
Twice on US 49 North of Yazoo City, once on 49 West where it joins East and once on 49 East at the Chemical Plant.

Alas! I didn't know that the number 2 Link line was active yet in #Seattle. My transit collection is incomplete! Good thing I have time to catch it now.
I collect all modes of transit except for buses because they tend to be ubiquitous. In most cities, I collect electric trolleys, but they're ubiquitous here, too, so I can't.
I have not smelled any human urine in any of the rail stations in Seattle or Portland. I did smell cat pee at a bus stop but I don't think that counts.

The protesters were at my church again last night. This is like the 4th or 5th occasion. It was a stunning display of weakness. They have no sign game. All their signs are commercially produced. They have no megaphone game. And their knowledge of the Bible is nearly non-existent.
Very weak, very sad.

Some really cogent points in the article, but the repeated capitalization of "white" is grating. Whiteness is anti-ethnicity. Anti-culture. It doesn't get capitalization the way Black does.

I have at least two friends and a close family member who are this close to eating a bullet.
Not only do I need these people, selfishly, for my life. But we need these people. For society. For resistance.
Let's uplift them, not shove them into the abyss.

Think about whether this link is helping or hurting those who are resisting.
Will it take the wind out of their sails.
Some people get mad and fight harder, but a lot of people don't. Suicide risk is high right now.
Is there some other article that has this same news but in a format not engineered to freak you the heck out?
Being informed is important. Demoralizing people is not cool.

2025-07-10 14:26:32 UTC

I don't want to shy away from bad news. We need all the information, to be sure, to oppose usefully.
However.
My friends. My dear, sweet friends. When we share links to articles and videos that are panicky and terrifying, we do the opponent's work for them.
They want us panicky and terrified. They want us too demoralized to stand up.
I'm asking to think about these things before sharing links.

Like you, I'm currently in a special circumstance. My kids are occupying my house, so they are paying the mortgage right now, which is much less than the rent they used to pay elsewhere. I stay there sometimes and in my tiny house sometimes.
But for much of my adult life, housing was ~65% of my income.

Why am I talking about counties and towns, and not households and homesteads?
Because solo preppers do not survive.
Communities survive. Because community is one of the human species' evolutionary advantages.
Another one is relentless stamina, by the way. We hunt by making the prey tired through relentless pursuit. That's another topic. Also the plasticity of the infant brain. There are a few.
Western society tends to fail to lean into some of these. Rugged individualism is a dangerous myth.

I would l live a house built like this but would never be able to afford it. It would take at least 3 or 4 times the amount of money a stick-built house would.
Some people are pioneering (re-pioneering?) better construction methods with rammed earth, hyperadobe, etc. but building codes are created around wood framing so it's hard for other types to even be legal.

Things you can say when people say, "during the pandemic" and mean some point in the past:
"Oh, during lockdown?"
"Oh, the height of the pandemic?"
"Oh, the worst part of the pandemic?"
"Oh, earlly days?"
"Oh, when it was still new?"
"Oh, before vaccines?"
"Oh, before RTO?"
And of course it's cool to follow up with, "Because the pandemic is still on."
