I am once again begging, begging everyone to hold these 3 thoughts in their head at once:
1. Plastics recycling is not very effective. It’s far, far better to not use plastic at all in the first place, and that failing, far better to reuse.
2. Plastics recycling is not worthless or pointless. Don’t just throw it all away because “iT dOEsn’T matTeR.” A miserable 5% reclaimed is still better than 0% reclaimed.
3. Plastics recycling is nonetheless part of a petrochemical greenwashing campaign, per @…’s post below. https://mastodon.social/@CelloMomOnCars/115650231600448649

My amazing niece flying solo. I took this still* from a video of her getting ATC clearance, taking off, and flying. Solo. She’s not yet 20.
I rly don’t have the words to describe my feelings as I watched the video. I cried like a baby—I can say that much.
Yesterday, I bought her a pair of Ray-Ban aviator shades for Xmas. Because she’s an aviator. ❤️
* I chose to share a pic w/ her face obscured for social media, but she’s as beautiful as she is brilliant.

I think being an egocentric asshole as a service is finally falling flat
and people want to hear more about what real living is about.

I had over three hundred accounts following me that I didn't follow back, mostly because I lost track of all the new followers.
So I did the unthinkable thing:
I asked Perplexity to write me a python script to follow everyone back. I will just unfollow some of them later, if I don't like them enough. But for now, everyone gets the benefit of the doubt.😉
The script needed some adjustments, but it worked.
Here's the script if you need it:

followback
A short python script that looks for all your mastodon followers that you don't follow back, and follows them.

Wise words from @….
Reflecting now on how often I find myself saying “Just show up, over and over, and do some work. Don’t worry about whether it’s enough, about whether you’re going to get an A. Just show up. Do some work.”

Worried about passing the class?
Not sure if you’re a Real Programmer yet?
Impostor feelings?
Horrified at politics?
Wanting to saving democracy?
Feeling powerless?
Anxious? Depressed? Panicking?
Show up. Work. https://mastodon.social/@grimalkina/115481201032837751
