Hawaii also leads the US in the school-to-prison pipeline - #1 in rounding up children, especially Native Hawaiians. Part of the continued US attempt to destroy us indigenous people and lifeways.

US billionaires buy up Hawaii while most of us Hawaiians don't "own" a single acre of our US-illegally occupied home. Mark Zuckerberg forced us from his 1200 acre ranch on Kaua'i. Elon's buddy Larry Ellison owns an entire island, while we remain homeless.

If authority can change the laws, bylaws, and rules authority are meant to be beholden to, that’s how you know law isn’t and never will be sacrosanct; nor can it ever be an arbiter for upstanding ethics and morality.

Just got a 1cm thorn out of a friends foot. A reminder that when solving problems, it's important to try different angles if one doesn't work ;p

For all the interest in nature-based solutions for climate adaptation, there’s a lack of funding and political will to make them happen. #ClimateChange #adaptation #ClimateCrisis https://e360.yale.edu/features/why-are-nature-based-solutions-on-climate-being-overlooked

Hope some people pushing back on the attack on abortion in the u.s. keep in mind that birthing autonomy is an intersectional privilege on a global level. Just like there are many people in the u.s. whose access to free & safe abortion (& pregnancy) has never really existed, there are even more people worldwide who don't have these things even on paper - & in many cases the u.s., nato, & five eyes send hundreds of millions of dollars a year to these governments. This also means that there are many people who have been fighting back under incredibly repressive conditions who deserve equal support & attention

I wrote about quitting Google a few years ago - I've using several different tools now, but this was my take back then - https://thenextweb.com/news/how-i-fully-quit-google-and-you-can-too

After thorough testing, I can wholeheartedy recommend lesbianism.

I need to take some time to write a piece about how there is a direct line connecting the States' obsession with criminalizing abortion and limiting birth control directly to the capitalist practice of taking away one's bodily autonomy that was perfected during the slave trade.

Politics in the US has always revolved around maintaining control for the sake of profit. Sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc are all constantly pushed because the expansion and normalization of different modalities of the human experience are a direct threat to capital.

The more we embrace our shared humanity, the less likely we are to participate in capitalism for individual gain.

The nonsensical attempts to push back the rights of women in a desperate attempt to violently force us back into that myopia show they are terrified of the conversations we are having.

While my immediate reaction is disgust, I'm also encouraged because there is a deep fear that is guiding these deranged policies. People have spent their lives trying to harm us for being more human.

Their rage is because they know they are losing.

They are trying to legislate what humanity is and they can't. They've already lost. Violence is the only option bigots have left.
