Apathy Tree

By the end of the day those people have already been arrested. Only thing that can be done, really, would be going forward, but just like the federal government not following the law, we need enforcement mechanisms to make things happen that are against the wishes of the people doing said things. And we really don’t have that right now, when the enforcement are the ones we are trying to restrain.

I dont see the pig union bowing to mamdani’s office without a fight every single time. Not in this climate at least.

Love to be proven wrong.

The only book I have that might be worth scanning is Knight’s Modern Seamanship 13th edition from ~1960 (was provided to my mom as part of a record-finding request regarding my grandpa’s WW2 deployments, I have no idea why), but if my time in the Navy is any indication, its one of those things that was given during basic to all going through basic (I have a modern copy from 2007 as well), so idk if its a valuable contribution. Probably already in the archive.

I also have a copy of the joy of cooking from the 70s, and a Betty Crocker cookbook from the 50s, but I assume that’s also already in there. Plus some language textbooks and the like, some bird and geology books, some limnology books, etc. the sort of thing that’s definitely already there.

I’m willing to scan them, however a person does that, but I’m not willing to destroy them. The old books came from my grandparents, through my mom, and all of those people are long dead. Everything else is from my own education and I use them for reference.

I read something a while ago speculating that black holes, and thus the singularity and infinity problems inherent with their existence, may not actually exist.

Rather, they were proposed to be basically this, stars which are super dense, and do cause light to fall back into them, but rather than reaching a point of infinite density, the stars themselves lie just beyond the event horizon, so we can’t see them. Totally normal physics, just super hugely massive objects.

They called them gravetars, I believe.

Edit: gravastar, it turns out. The paper I read was something more recent than 25 years ago, however…

I would try to avoid them, but there’s literally no way across town without passing them. Town is split by a river and they have cammed up basically every bridge in the area. Two pointed each direction to make sure they don’t miss anything in the two lane roads, no less.

I would have to go to at least two towns over to get through. Probably further.

Id go vandalize them but the person across the street from me has a ring camera pointed directly at my property, so my coming and going is already recorded…

Yay surveillance state!

I voted for her and I’m excited to do it again in a few months.

I haven’t been genuinely excited for my options on a long time. Maybe ever. This is the closest.

Maybe the solution is to not limit to one color!

This time I’m handing the wheel to a friend, since I need someone to bleach for me and that seemed like a good trade, but I’m only brining dyes in the red/pink/blue/purple/turquoise range, I’d be down for a full rainbow, but probably not until its short. Very hard to keep yellow nice during the dye when its waist-length. But I wanna enjoy the long for a bit with color, its fun to braid and looks neat with my hair accessories.

I tend to use conditioner to cut the color down, so I often end up more in the pastel range. Then sometimes ill do dark streaks in the pastels which looks pretty neat.

If you hate the color, clarifying shampoo strips it out decently quickly if you are using vegetable dyes. Then you can try it again.

I started dying my hair in my late 20s. It was really uncomfortable then because at least in my area it was very uncommon. Now that I’m turning 40, I’m doing it again, and its a lot more common now so its not nearly as uncomfortable (people stare less these days, cuz they care less)

I have a feeling future historians will use the start of this year as the beginning of WW3…
