I use #Mastodon lists for mental health - to limit exposure to BS.
Mine include:

▪ lists for specific dear friends (so I never miss their posts)
▪ #printmaking hashtag list (read daily ❤)
▪ Toronto (kindred spirits who live where I do)
▪ coaches (folks thinking about my professional interests)

IAEA detects radioactive contamination inside Iranian nuclear facility after Israeli strike.
Radiation levels outside the Natanz site remain unchanged. The contamination — mainly alpha particles — is manageable with proper protective measures, the agency said.

June 14. A few months after coming to power, the regime orders a massive military parade in the nation’s capital, on the regime leader’s birthday - symbolizing the regime’s claim that the leader embodies the nation.
This should be anathema in a democratic republic. It’s insulting and dangerous.

Hi Stu,
Yeah it is really simple to install, setup and maintain. It's also very light on resources.

Got an email from a friend who serves in our state legislature and lives in my tiny hometown of Mt. Tabor, #Vermont. He was eager to tell me that not only were they on for a #NoKings event here at 10:00am, but that 32 people had registered. It’s 2 minutes away.
The population of Mt. Tabor is a whopping 210.
We are on the Long/Appalachian Trail. Apparently at least eight parties of hikers are going to come down the mountain to join in. They had dreamed that would happen. So #proud.
YES! And here are TWO links--you can watch the no kings events here, starting 1:00 (thanks to @AkaSci for posting these links)

Update. Mom/Bev called an audible/a retreat when I started to stumble on the third step downstairs, you were right to caution a Bear. I’m paying for the effort, but a few extra ouches are a small price for giving it a shot. 😊
My state rep. pal will send pics and video along after they wrap. Doing as advised Laffy, still relishing the satisfaction of knowing our tiny VT town protests. 💜 you guys.

My grandfather was blown to bits on DDay, left for dead, shipped home full of metal shrapnel and never recovered enough to act normal or even hold a job. That Nazi bomb has kept detonating down generations of my family. Do you think we paid that price just to welcome fascism back home for dinner and cuddles? I'm not about to be silent.
We must each ask ourselves, what would my ancestors do? Then do that.

14 June 1921 | A Pole, Stanisław Trałka, was born in Wąbrzeźno.
He was deported to #Auschwitz on his 19th birthday in the first transport of Poles to the camp on 14 June 1940.
No. 660
He perished in the camp on 2 October 1942.
I was curious as to how someone so young was in the first wave of prisoners. I found a site which indicated he was a student at an art school when he was arrested, but the site is broken and the page won't open. Auschwitz.org states he was used as a photographer prior to his murder, meaning he certainly took some of the photos we see posted every day by this account.
auschwitz.org/en/museum/about-…
If anyone can find more on Stanisław Trałka, please share... I'd like to read it.

I suspect the case for repurposing waste oil is stronger, tho' it will depend on how much processing it takes.
But growing maize to ferment and distill just to blend into road fuels? Crazy.
