I really like a cucumber salad, sometimes it's got more to it like carrots and chickpeas but sometimes it's just a cucumber sliced up with a bit of soy sauce on it.
Carrots usually last weeks in the fridge, but they'd be good in a spaghetti sauce with the onions and bell peppers too—sautee all three with any spices you like until the onions and peppers are soft, then add a can of crushed tomatoes and simmer for a bit. You could make a big batch and freeze some if you really need to use a lot of veggies.
Absolutely treat yourself to a nice dinner of roasted veggies while things are fresh too!
Ditto, Ortlieb Backrollers are great! I'm amazed at how much can fit in them too, I can get a week's worth of groceries in a pair of them. (Some bulky things like a cereal box get strapped on the rack between them.)
I really liked this one where the backpack straps and panier attachments are on opposite sides of the bag, the conversion is quicker (just flip the top flap over) and it's more comfortable as a backpack than others I've tried. It got me through 4 years of college (overloaded with textbooks biking ~8 mi each way) but definitely started to show some wear, probably not quite as durable as an ortlieb but a great bag for $99.
If that's their excuse it's pretty lame, it isn't hard to stick to what is verifiable and accurate without implying this 14 year old could consent.
The headline is a statement about what was alleged. It's quick and easy to verify that the allegation included Pritt sticking his penis in her mouth (the full affidavit is here). I think that meets the common understanding of 'rape,' it does meet the federal uniform crime reporting definition of rape, and it would be 2nd degree felony sexual assault in WV law.
Even if the specifics were harder to verify and the reporter was looking for a broader term than 'rape,' something like 'sexually abused' would be much more accurate than 'had sex with.' And it's important to be accurate with this because describing sexual violence as a type of sex instead of a type of violence makes it seem like a normal thing for people to want to do.
It looks like the rate of searches starts going up around January 2026 though, middle of winter in the northern hemisphere. Unless Australia was having a heat wave? They're probably prone to dizziness anyway being upside down all the time
Seconding what several other have said, I think country- and region-specific communities are valuable if they're specifically solarpunk in nature.
If we're an 'explicitly migration-friendly movement,' country-specific communities are a great tool to help people navigate migration and connect with their new local solarpunks like SargonOfACAB and Andy pointed out. Like Chewie and SargonOfACAB suggested there's other types of posts too, like local events or something related to a specific food or culture, that are interesting to fellow solarpunks because of the country they relate to more than the topic they would fit under.
I agree with keepthepace and Andy re xenophobia too, if we want to overcome it and even the very notion of nation states then having country- or region-specific communities that explicitly reject those ideas and build something better is a step in a good direction. We can retire the communities once the nation states no longer exist ;) I could see regional communities of a few countries each working for this as long as one country doesn't take up all the oxygen (see keepthepace's comment).
What you said about the language moderation challenges totally makes sense, that seems like a separate issue. Would be stoked if any multilingual mods ever joined the team. If people have an option to make a community for solarpunks on a country-specific instance instead of a country-specific community here that seems just as good, but if they'd rather be here or don't have a better option seems like we should welcome it.
This is an article about a Lancet commission that took a pretty global lens, first sentence points out it's "a nearly ubiquitous global commercial enterprise"
worldwide, 46 percent of adults (approximately 2.3 billion people) and nearly 18 percent of adolescents (159.6 million youths between 10 and 19 years old) have gambled in the past year
Although only a small proportion of individuals engage in problem gambling—an addiction that affects an estimated 1.4 percent of gamblers, or 80 million adults globally—the researchers recommend that policymakers treat gambling as a public health issue rather than as a medical problem
Although four-fifths of countries worldwide permit gambling, that number understates the global nature of the industry’s influence, since digital technology transcends borders.
Also seeing what happens when one country changes a policy is a great way to learn about the impacts of your county's policies. Like if somebody had shown asbestos caused cancer in lab rats you shouldn't go 'why should I know this, I'm not a rat' and keep using asbestos in everything (in reality it was textile workers dying who first clued us in to asbestos).
The US might be a pretty diseased lab rat but there's still something to be learned from it.
and if you can't make it tomorrow you can still search for any of these orgs and reach out!They've all got socials and websites and that. The orgs on the flyer are:
Aurora Unidos Community Service Organization
Denver Anti-War Action
Denver -Aurora Community Action Committee
People's March Denver
Freedom Road Socialist Organization Denver
Housekeys Action Network Denver
Colorado Immigrant Partnership/Protection Teams
Sunrise Movement
Students for a Democratic Society
Teamsters for a Democratic Union
Colorado 50 50 1
Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition
MSU Faculty Federation of the American Federation of Teachers
This isn't just about a show of force, it's about organizing a strong resistance. If you aren't part of an organization yet come on out and get connected
PSL is getting things started at 2pm, this coalition (Denver Anti-War Action and DENCAT, the Denver Coalition against Trump) will be there at 4, and another group of orgs is making plans starting at 7pm, so come on down to the capitol whenever you have a chance and stay as long or as short as you can!
Alzheimer's doesn't make you a genocidal fascist, don't let them off the hook that easy. Also turning Alzheimer's into an insult is kinda hurtful for people who actually have it and their loved ones.
The same people talk about whole countries as "developing"

'Deltas' could fit better with the other three, if you're open to trying something lotic

Yeah come on 76/89ths would be silly because 89 is prime and 76 is even, it would obviously be rounded to 55/64ths

The best deals I've found have been at bike shops with used parts, if you're in the Denver area Lucky Bikes is wonderful
