Don't know who needs to hear this but: Nazis = Bad

My dad handed me two clothespins. “This,” he said, “is the story of everything.” In one hand: a clothespin from the 1960s. Solid hardwood, smooth from decades of use. It still works perfectly, some 60 years later. In the other: a clothespin from 2025. Lighter, paler wood, brittle. The spring is thin and unstable. Marketed as “extra durable,” my dad just raised an eyebrow. At first glance, it’s just two clothespins. But they tell a bigger story — the shift from durability to disposability, from craftsmanship to cost-cutting, from stewardship to constant consumption. This is planned obsolescence in action. Products are designed to fail so we must keep buying. Slowly, subtly, they break. Frayed wires, cracked hinges, brittle springs. Not because we want more, but because the old was never built to last. The costs are everywhere. Landfills overflow. Wallets empty. And maybe most quietly, our spirits grow accustomed to impermanence, to the idea that nothing is meant to endure. What if this philosophy extends beyond objects? What if it shapes how we treat relationships, communities, homes, even the Earth — as temporary, replaceable, disposable? It doesn’t have to be this way. That 1960s clothespin reminds us another path is possible. That we once made things to last, and we can again. That quality, care, and intention matter. That we can design for repair, for continuity, for meaning. The story in my palm is about more than laundry. It’s about the choices we make and the world they create.

This quote was in a book that I was reading last night. Imagine what a world we could have had now, if we had followed his advice.

There are a bunch of Americans more upset about some Canadian's choosing to peacefully end their own lives with their doctor then they are that thousands of Americans are shot every single year. You don't have the right to end your own life, but God has given you the right to carry tools designed to end other peoples.... Okay. 🙄

#BREAKING: Rep Dave Min: “I just want to point out something here, these January 6th insurrectionists, a lot of them had criminal records, a lot of them were guilty of violent crimes before, a lot of them since being released by Donald Trump have gone on to commit additional crimes including child pornography, child sexual assault, rape, assault, these are NOT good people and there are people right now who have gone and done the worst things after being pardoned by Donald Trump, who are now set to receive millions of dollars in payments, and that’s just WRONG.”🤦‍♀️

It almost feels like Earth was made perfectly for humans, with water falling from the sky and food growing naturally, yet we still ended up in a system where people need credit scores, two jobs, and a 40 hour work week just to survive.

How can Danielle think that 400,000 Albertans who signed a petition that they did not want a referendum now say, they want to take a chance on a referendum? Danielle Smith is a liar
