Yes because voting is literally the bare minimum you do. We have first past the post, make sure the least shitty candidate is past the post AND then keep working to fix things, keep working to get better candidates in the next primary.
If Kamala Harris had been elected, we could be protesting for meaningful action in Gaza, meaningful climate action. Instead, those issues have become buried by all the tremendous waves of shit flying out of the republicans.
I love freshly made, quick pickled radishes, but I feel like they get a weird odor if kept. Am I doing something wrong? Making them using hot vinegar & salt mixture, let sit for 10min or so, then eat.
Ha! This is my advice to my pirate-crazed kids: Let’s try hardtack for a week and I bet this broccoli would taste AMAZING!
Gotcha…misinterpreted your first comment! And hi, fellow Montanan!
While that is true, this is a different issue. American Prairie’s mission is connect a bunch of land in central Montana and use it to restore short grass prairie ecosystems. Part of that goal is restoring native large grazers (bison) that were largely killed off in the 1800s. Bison were historically very abundant, and had a huge effect on shaping and maintaining prairie ecosystems. Today, technically, the bison are considered “livestock” with regard to BLM grazing, but American Prairie is trying to manage the bison as wild herds and restore their ecosystem function. And lobbying for updated classification for the bison, which are neither livestock but not truly “wildlife” yet.
The pushback to American Prairie’s mission is pretty political in MT, as you might imagine…
Just visited NYC for the first time in decades, and was blown away with the ferries. Such a great way to see the city!
Can I summarize to clarify your point? Fun runs haven’t solved breast cancer, so it’s probably best to give up on humanity? Is that accurate?
That’s what she (the train) said
Whoa…what are you doing that you break so many rims?
If you want cheap and weight/performance’s not an issue, do you have a community bike shop in your area, or some other option for salvaging used bike parts?
There are also a few, more recent companion books that give a lot of historical context to both Melville and whaling, etc

It sounds like you’ve got a good approach and good advice from the comments. Frustrating, for sure, but it’s likely to take a lot of time and repetition. Something to add to your conversations with her - you might want to start asking about her feelings about stealing. What was the moment when she realized she wanted to take something, what did it feel like when she took it, how does she feel about other people’s reactions. Lots of unpack there! Maybe it’s a conversation to have away from an actual stealing incident, so that you can approach it with curiousity more than (immediate) judgement. Does she WANT to keep stealing? And if so, why? If not, does she need help coming up with strategies to deal with the feeling of wanting to steal something in the moment?
Cool story, bro. How do you propose to do that? You got a magic wand? How many of those ballot initiatives failed this time around?
Some level of election reform will be on the ballot in 9 states this fall. Make sure you vote, if you can!
Also worth noting that these efforts are generally led mainly by democrats, with support from some moderate republicans. In contrast, 10 republican-led state legistatures have passed outright bans on RCV. One of these parties is not like the other!

Ooh, what’s your recipe for the pickled cabbage?
