 thank you gandalf

 thought this was pretty so I stole it from Reddit
scenic vision of a flat meadow full of flowers with light streaming through the trees, as viewed from a nestled alcove covered in ivy

 food tastes better with more nutrients in it.                                    │
 when food is grown with the bare minimum soil, and bred to look better but       │
 uptake fewer nutrients, it will taste worse because your taste buds light up     │
 for vitamins but sleep for textures and colors.                                  │
 Massive monocrop algriculture has allowed us to feed billions of people (well,   │
 not all of them) and yet it's unhealthy because the soil is tilled, killing the  │
 vibrant ecosystem that lives in all soil, and then it is supplemented with       │
 specific nutrients that cause plants to fruit faster and larger.                 │
 But larger isn't always better. much the same way that hardwood is slower        │
 growing as it takes longer to deposit the carbon and nutrients in the denser     │
 walls of the bark, so too is fast-growing food less healthy as there's less      │
 time to uptake nutrients (that might not even be present in the soil)            │
 food tastes better when it's good for you.                                       │
 I promise.                                                                       │
 The American diet is primarily sugar and meat, with flavoring added and          │
 processing for texture. But there is a better way.                               │

 dear feds:
 
 we both know watching me is a waste of your time. You should be watching the
 people who are exfiltrating right now.

 if I were on stage at a pride parade:
 
 "hi, you guys know Pride is a protest, right? Well, this time's different,
 because protests only work against democracies, and they only sorta work then.
 
 This time though, we're not up against a democracy, so Pride is not a fucking
 protest.
 
 Okay okay bear with me - what if each and everyone one of us met up here in a
 week and drove up to Seattle? Then, we gathered everyone we could, and marched
 our cars down through every city on the west coast. When we hit the border, we
 would drive to Texas, and once there we would march in every city in the street
 chanting "We're here, if you're queer, come with us or they'll fucking kill
 you."
 
 then, we could hit every city in the south, and upon arriving in Philadelphia
 we could take a break, ensure everyone has a place to stay, and then disperse
 again, after having learned how to fight fascists on OUR terms, with OUR
 strength, and with OUR PEOPLE saved."
 
 thats what I'd fucking say. Who the fuck says stuff like that?

 the moment they left Facebook for Truth Social and we left Twitter for the
 Fediverse, we began operating on two different temperature scales.
 
 how hot is it to you? their leader just got shot.
