Remember, people say that mass school #shootings are the just the price we pay to live in a free nation but never that kids potentially reading books they don't like is. #gunregulation

The ethical thing would be to split profits with the Lakota tribe & perhaps do a fundraiser to cover the cost of books & materials for the tribe (or better yet, apply for an education grant from state & federal governments).

👉🏾 Lakota elders helped a white man preserve their language. Then he tried to sell it back to them. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/native-american-language-preservation-rcna31396

Meme text reads, “I don’t know who needs to hear this but, “good people” don’t spend their time harassing marginalized communities.” Markup crosses out words so it reads “… don’t harass marginalized …”

Bobby Leach was the second person to survive going over Niagara Falls in a barrel, which he did in 1911.
Then in 1926 in New Zealand, while on a publicity tour, he slipped on an orange peel, hurting his leg. It became infected & was amputated. He died two months later.

I'm sorry for the Turks who have to bear another term of Erdogan. I'm still confused on the details of it, but mystics and conservativism keeping Turkey in a shitty state. As one Redditor said:

People have truly shown who they are over the last few years and I don't have it in me to keep dealing with it. I haven't been able to do much, like go to the dentist, doctors, hairdressers, restaurants, stores, ect, because "masks are so hard to wear and covid is over".
I wouldn't mind if it just killed me, but it doesn't, it keeps making my stroke and other problems worse. #COVID #Mask #Disabled #LongCovid

Prosperity in red states will decline slowly then suddenly—
Hostility to diversity, book censorship, women's reproductive freedom, access to health care, dystopian gun regulations—
Companies will move, university attendance will fall, taxes will decline, economic decline inevitable— the red state self destructiveness is wrenching

My last night in a safe spot; I just made a midnight catnip pineapple offering to the hotel cat 🥰 #caturday

reshared this

Hotel cats should be a more common thing than they are. I stayed in a hotel with a cat named rice ball once, and it was a great hotel.
last night in a “safe spot”…. That sounds concerning. If there are reasons you don’t feel safe wherever you’re going, you need to reach out for help.

@The Verge :press: One of the few places where electric mass transit makes sense. So many are going to be used in rural areas. Trolley busses and hybrid trolley busses are much more green in cities and small towns.

Many folks have been taught about “The Tragedy of The Commons” in school. But what most folks don’t know is that it was complete bunk written by a white nationalist and eugenicist to justify colonization and genocide.

https://memex.craphound.com/2019/10/01/the-tragedy-of-the-commons-how-ecofascism-was-smuggled-into-mainstream-thought/

Commons can be successful. Many long-standing and successful commons exist. Many were studied by Nobel Prize-winning Political Scientist Elinor Ostram, who codified 8 principles for how commons can be governed sustainably and equitably in a community.

https://www.onthecommons.org/magazine/elinor-ostroms-8-principles-managing-commmons

I’d really like for folks to stop using the term “tragedy of the commons” that assumes inevitable failure, and start calling them what they are. Commons with improper governance or “Failed commons”.

Those 8 principles are very general and I'm having difficulty applying them to anything but hyper local common resources. How do they work on something like the Colorado River Watershed? The water in that river is as you call it a "failed commons" how would Dr. Ostram's principles help the people of the six states that share the water no over draw the diminishing resource?

@antares

What an AWESOME (and quite #solarpunk ) question! I don’t know but let’s talk it through.

1. Clearly-Defined Boundaries
Individuals who have rights to appropriate resources must be clearly defined, as must the boundaries of the resource itself.

This is fucking hard! Everything and everyone needs that water. I’d probably break the watershed down into much smaller tiers where each seaward tier has rights to appropriate resources from the tier above it, and then you’ll need to outline municipalities, businesses, and the localized ecosystem and the limits of their access to the resource.

This is, of course, a massive amount of work, but hey governing is hard.

1/8 (or so, I’m just writing as I go, may not finish all of these thoughts tonight)
