When Nicaragua charged Germany with facilitating genocide at the International Court of Justice, many in establishment media seemed to feel that the wrong country was on trial.

Programmers prioritize the feeling of productivity over productivity itself. They prefer to rewrite a codebase with tools they are comfortable with (thus, feelings) even if ROI is years away, instead of e.g. fixing a bug (actual productivity) even if it's just two days of work.

As a Native Hawaiian, I'd like Disney to stop displacing us homeless Hawaiians with a $144 mil resort for rich foreigners in collaboration with the illegal US occupation that overthrew us & stole our land. Dwayne Johnson also profited off our suffering in Lahaina. #Moana2

- Since US invaded our sovereign country, Hawaii - tops the US in police killings, disproportionately Pacific Islander - Is by far #1 most economically unequal 'state’ in the US. Worse than LA, NY, and DC by far. - Leads the US in the school-to-prison pipeline - #1 in rounding up children, especially Native Hawaiians. l Part of the continued US attempt to destroy us indigenous people and lifeways. , - The US banned our Hawaiian language, nearly extinguishing it. Less than 100 kids spoke it in the 80's. : Kids are STILL punished for speaking Hawaiian today. My mother's hands were shattered for speaking i Hawaiian in school. - Native Hawaiians / Pl have the HIGHEST rate of incarceration in the US (4x whites), and the lowest healthy life expectancy. - Our Native Hawaiian children are also targeted by the US for child removal to prevent parents from passing Hawaiian language, history, and lifeways down to the next generation. CPS is a tool for cultural genocide. (remote)

- In this pixel art image, we see a snowy outdoor scene with a large building in the background. The dominant colors are blue and white, giving off a cold and wintry feel. A street light stands prominently in the foreground, illuminating the otherwise dark surroundings. Despite the snow falling from the sky, there is still some light visible in the distance. (remote)

An unknown rose growing in the blackberry bramble. I spotted it while strolling though the derelict rose garden. I was about to start pawing through the weeds at the base to see if I could find a tag, but the canes of this rose were tangled with poison oak. It's identity will remain a mystery for now.
