As he declared:<br/><br/>“Fascism has established itself in a most disguised and efficient manner in this country. It feels so secure that the leaders allow us the luxury of a faint protest. Take protest too far, however, and they will show their other face….” 2025-09-13T22:10:57Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgge7g8jcvl3djwek5enmvcdwqcz5a7ljuqv0d7x2z4gyuejrwk7szyqrgljxf6lg0sf7zdeg9vahqnyc393dvvrgcaywsv565wh244v9kjnhjpad In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsptazva429ttw2zke9ck7qg6hap98ndal9y36z77axlmru3ty2q6gkt3epg'>nevent1q…3epg</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>And the view right now, which merits a panorama shot.

They got in their truck, hit one of the ICE vehicles and drove off. The ICE officers *opened fire* on them. They abandoned their vehicle in the neighborhood to try to escape on foot. So now we’re all ordered to “shelter in place” and “stay away from windows” so the swarming gestapo can shoot up the place with a free hand.<br/><br/>How’s your day going? 2025-08-01T01:05:04Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs095vjgcqhgd9jug6j7dc29z578kgz86z6alce3h7djfgmfkcswuszyqrgljxf6lg0sf7zdeg9vahqnyc393dvvrgcaywsv565wh244v9kjjgz6cc Reading up on trees and how they use underground microrrhizal networks in the forest to communicate and transmit resources to each other. When one tree is in distress the surrounding trees send nutrients and defensive substances to help it recover. It’s not a sacrifice or loss of freedom: they know they need each other to survive droughts and insect infestations and that a sophisticated system of mutual aid is how to make that happen.<br/><br/>Makes you think, doesn’t it?<br/><br/>#trees #fungus 2025-03-30T16:21:41Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsycxz2mwetnt3wdwlhuhj0z4d3eqpp3cmh85pcfu2p9uaz2ca7xjszyqrgljxf6lg0sf7zdeg9vahqnyc393dvvrgcaywsv565wh244v9kjazvwgz In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszrrc0a6y56l6m439wkp4k4j2axjx9ed968qrefsswzxx8rq6gsjcw9r03h'>nevent1q…r03h</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Agree. <br/><br/>On the one hand we have “whatever it is, if it slightly inconveniences me, it must be a product of the woke mind virus so I’ll do the opposite.” Then we have the liberal “you be you, I’ll be me, let’s not speak of solidarity” version. And that brings us to “criminals wear masks, so for public safety we must ban them.” Rather than learn anything we amped up some of the worst traits of our already highly entitled culture. 2025-02-08T14:56:17Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsp0jdswpu4vxn4854t8fcrxxp55fxep89q2nyr6krvfzltd0dxapczyqrgljxf6lg0sf7zdeg9vahqnyc393dvvrgcaywsv565wh244v9kj54kjua In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszgfwkg5ux9kvs4wz7k3jd3j46wrrrvxc5qjyxutrehskz2lsm38cyeh9km'>nevent1q…h9km</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>There’s not only no social pressure to help me remember the mask, there’s pressure to forget, ignore.

I’ve been pretty consistent with masking and have only been sick a couple times in 5 years: one cold and one covid (just last month). But working from home I also have remained pretty isolated. And I tend to be forgetful. I keep masks in the car and often find myself walking into a store or office and then turning around to go back and get the mask. Or forgetting entirely. 2025-02-08T14:18:50Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdf98f8yrz6ukq5tstwxq5jsd30vr7vjqwms8yk3pua6lusnjezwgzyqrgljxf6lg0sf7zdeg9vahqnyc393dvvrgcaywsv565wh244v9kjdvym9f Had two visits to the medical center this week. Hospitalizations for #flu, #RSV, and #COVID are spiking here. A nurse confirmed that they are short-staffed in the hospital because of illness. Crowds of people crammed into tiny waiting rooms yet not a mask in sight by any patient or provider. Not one!<br/><br/>I should have spoken up. Why didn’t I? The only thing we learned from the pandemic is to get really good at denial and keeping quiet.<br/><br/>I need to practice resisting that bullshit.
