made a loan on Kiva to help a bookstore in Nicragua purchase bookcases.
Kiva does microloans to people that may have trouble accessing traditional banks. eventually its paid back and you can relend the money to a new project!
WotC and Pinkertons
WotC confirmed that they sent the Pinkertons after a guy.

My thoughts on the inciting incident aside, I do not like that WotC involved the Pinkertons.
I believe this is finally where I can recognize that WotC went from a soulless anti-consumer corporation and firmly over the line into evil.

"But why are you still on Twitter?"
Listen. I am an internet ancient. I stood amidst LiveJournal as it crumbled while I watched the fall of Flickr. I was there both times Tumblr burned down, toasting marshmallows over its smouldering ruin, laughing at the folly of Verizon. The death of Twitter was foretold by the dark prophecies of the forgotten internets. I am there to witness its passing as the old internet is dying and the new internet struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters.
A woman posted in a Facebook group that I am in that she is attaching her youngest child to the grocery cart with a carabiner, so nobody tries to kidnap her.
I pointed out that 90%+ of abductions are custody disputes and no one has ever stolen a child from a store in the US. It’s not how human trafficking works, and we should really be more concerned about things that are harming kids daily.
Within 5 minutes I was booted from the group.
@tabbiewolf my favorite option is "has no goddamn spells, I will not figure out how these work, so help me" and I have done that multiple times
@jshawthorne I'm helping!
@jshawthorne how can one person be THAT wrong about something that basic? did they do any research? I'm going with no
I’ve got a new free foraging comic up on my ko-fi, all about fruit you can find and eat for free pretty easily in the eastern US! Check it out here if you’d like: https://ko-fi.com/s/bd38ecf5e4
On the other hand, talking points about honeybees being somehow more "morally good" than other insects are also ecofascism. I saw this a lot with the "murder hornets" panic--people were clutching pearls about how the hornets were from CHINA and they EAT BEES.
Similarly, when I say that I like wasps, I've had people say "no, fuck wasps, they kill bees"
Animals eat other animals in healthy ecosystems. Honeybees are not exempt from being eaten. Get over it.
