Random posts from a writer who loves cats and coffee. An American Democratic woman with chronic illness (respiratory) who lives to read, write, and binge watch Netflix or Hulu. Married to a hot foodie who plays lots of video games. I'm not just a broken human, I'm also uniquely maladjusted but fun!
Freedom of Speech is fragile and precious. There is a threat to writers, poets, artists ... A famous comedian gets serious about it in this short speech video.

This is American.
It's a video of AOC discussing how AI is determining if humans get health care.
Seriously.

There is a great deal of debate and discussion about this email from the SSA. So, if anyone wanted to read it, and doesn't subscribe and thus didn't see it, here you go.
1- This is the Give A Shift About Nature group, right? So, just a brief pause on the planned atrocity, to take a look at what has just happened. It's the Florida Everglades. That area is supposed to be for protected wildlife. Any man-made structure in that area is a disruption to the special environment there-- no matter what the purpose of that structure is.
Saying that it will benefit the wildlife because they can rise up the food chain and develop a preference for eating humans-- creatures which have a remarkable reputation for evolution and survival-- is just... 🦖 ... We're watching people bet on human extinction. New dinosaurs, robot 🤖 take over, starvation, roast to unaliving, nuclear winter, or asteroid! Predict the correct apocalypse and win... win the same unalive as everybody else. 🤦
This is yet more proof that no one "at the top," no elected official with actual authority and power, does, in fact, give a *shift* about nature.
2- There's an incredibly old story about two brothers, Cain and Abel. And Cain unalives his brother. To everyone pointing out that absolutely every single solitary president the US has ever had did a bad thing, a similar bad thing, or a way worse bad thing... okay, valid. BUT we still made murrddeeery illegal, even though Cain did it a way, way, super long time ago. We didn't just 🤷 shrug it off. "Oh, well, we were gonna morally oppose this, but one person did it, so guess we'll let it slide." If forty or so people screw up, we don't have to give up on the hope and dream of ***someone*** actually doing better. We do NOT have to accept that one more person being a screw up means the future is damned. We CAN keep aiming to achieve a compassionate society, a utopia where people come together and support each other, and keep working to do better for each other.
That can still be a goal. No matter how terrible our past is. Absolutely everyone can decide they desire a more loving and compassionate future where people are supportive and care about each other.
Doom-scrolling comments proves that we have a long, long, LONG way to go. And that many people do not desire that utopia.
A world for everyone isn't the goal of everyone.
Thus, some people hope for an apocalypse. Such as alligators evolving into much more dangerous predators who prefer the taste of humans.
3- Believing 🐊 animals cannot evolve will definitely protect you. Yes, if a super-gator corners you in twenty years, explaining that evolution is against your belief system will definitely stop the animal and make it rethink it's philosophy of existence. 🤔🤨🤫
("Unalive" used instead of "dead" because the Facebook algorithm flags words like death and murder.)
