       @IdahoLark a reminder that her husband removed the pandemic emergency for the rest of us.

       @grammargirl I have a theory as to why. Colonial languages take the perspective of power (observation without consequence, i.e. a disconnect from causality). This is accomplished by removing language describing experiences, which hides how we relate, leaving us to learn how to relate from how others act. Which is based on an imposed history that also takes the perspective of power, thus limiting our toolset to these extractive/transactional relationships.& since the perspective of power is observation without consequence, this means it is disconnected from causality itself, & thus disconnected from logic. This disconnect is insidiously blamed on emotions so that people blame themselves rather than change tools. Knowing multiple languages means experience & translation become more necessary to effectively communicate, & those tools provide a way out from identifying with power over our own humanity.

       @GrrlScientist meat & dairy are subsidized. Our tax dollars collectively go to it, even when nobody's buying. There is no "individual" action we can take to stop climate catastrophe. Only collective.

       @selea 💯 the point of "AI" is to encode the perspective of power into our environments in a way that eliminates accountability of those in power & restricts dissent.
