I left Reddit much too late. I guess some habits can be hard to break.
My main account is here. For now, I am also using [email protected] for some local news.
Btw I’m a non-binary trans person [they/she/he].
The boiling thing sounds like a great tip
If you have a good link on how to do pickled vegetables or with tips, please share!
I suppose if you have some bureaucratic ties with an EU country, Ireland would be easier to go to. Or if you want easy access to other european countries in the long term. To my knowledge finding a place to stay there is very hard as well as expensive, especially in Dublin. I don’t really know how the squatting scene is but I guess you would need to know at least one local for this sort of info. Few years back, you find a job online (with a short contract usually), and accommodation would be provided, I don’t mean free. Currently, I’m not sure.
as long as evidentiary screenshots are good to go
Interesting point and the way you put it, kinda helps me frame an answer. For me, the keyword you used was evidentiary
Practically, I can think of a couple of reasons for now (there could be more!) to use a screenshot, let’s say from twitter.
As evidence of what a deleted tweet was saying. I have the impression that due to how things are there nowadays, we are far from that sort of discourse.
Or as a reference to an actual tweet. In this case - imo - the screenshot is not necessarily enough as evidence, so a link is needed like we see in some articles. I suppose it also depends very much on the community itself. For example a white people twitter community is very different from one that is related to ocean conservation & tidalpunk, like this one.
For now, that’s more or less what I have in mind, and I’m open to discussion for sure.
I am not denying there is a historical reference to the use of this term. I just think it also makes sense - especially if we take into consideration the last 100 years or so - for this term to shift from its initial meaning. Or to put it differently, in other languages this shift has taken place for decades now.
I understand what you say and I agree. Still I would like to add something:
I have noticed that in the english speaking world when people talk about the left they often include anarchy in this term. For me, this is highly problematic too, since the left has hierarchical structures and anarchy has horizontal ones.
I thought of sharing this relevant 9 minute video:
I was under the impression that:
According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), the US accounted for 69% of Israel’s imports of major conventional arms between 2019 and 2023.
And that:
In May 2024, the US confirmed it had paused a single consignment of 2,000lb and 500lb bombs over concerns Israel was going ahead with a major ground operation in the southern Gaza city of Rafah. But Biden immediately faced a backlash from Republicans in Washington and from Netanyahu who appeared to compare it to an “arms embargo”. Biden has since partially lifted the suspension and not repeated it.

I was not aware of the existence of Shut the System and I like their approach, so I find it’s great you included their link to your post @[email protected]
Edit: Did a sort of repost to In Person [email protected]
Once more then. In the picture you see Sasol petrochemical plant.
Not too sure how this comment is relevant to the article?
If you just saw the picture, there is something written bellow it:

The Forever Pollution Project - Journalists tracking PFAS across Europe
In January 2025, the Forever Lobbying Project exposes the lobbying and disinformation campaign orchestrated by the chemical and plastic lobbies to prevent the ban of these “forever chemicals” in the European Union. Fighting to keep their “chemical business as usual” with misleading, scaremongering arguments, polluting industries are shifting the burden of environmental contamination onto society, threatening the economic stability of European nations.
Working with 18 experts, the project calculated the cost of decontaminating Europe if nothing is done to combat PFAS emissions: the figure is more than €100 billion per year – and a staggering €2 trillion over twenty years.
Thank you. At last something that makes sense to me in this discourse.
From the link above:
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has held up the cabinet vote on the ceasefire deal that prompted premature celebrations in Gaza and was expected to take effect on Sunday, January 19.
- The Israeli military has stepped up attacks on the Gaza Strip since the announcement, killing at least 40 Palestinians, according to media reports.

I thought of adding a couple of links that clarify El Niño and La Niña
Lancet’s total mortality estimates from July 2024, are so much higher.
Counting the dead in Gaza: difficult but essential
By June 19, 2024, 37 396 people had been killed in the Gaza Strip
it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186 000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza.

According to the article : “Under this ceasefire agreement, there is supposed to be a mechanism in place for medical evacuations. We’ve still not seen that process spelled out,”
