If anyone in Fediverse land wants to migrate to TurtleIsland.social, here's a guide. I think its a pretty straightforward process but I know I was in anxiety the first time I did it.

Just saw an excellent convo about affirmations for #masculine people. I got happy. Then I got sad when I remembered what's happening in the USA. We're being dragged backward at an alarming rate. We're back to struggling merely to affirm that #women, #LGBTQIA+ people, ethnic/racial #minorities, people with #disabilities, etc. deserve the same rights as everyone else, and to be free from harassment and violence. "Advanced" things like how stereotypes about #men (and similar topics) support and entrench #patriarchy seem like almost luxuries at this point. I feel like I'm going to spend all my day-to-day social justice time explaining to people that trans and queer and #Black and #Native and #Hispanic and #autistic and female people are human for the next few years. Ugh.

I'm trying to reach 50 subs on here so I can unlock streaming and just yap about whatever #JRPG stuff is on my mind. If you happen to like those sorts of things, subscribe to the channel!

[This is an attack on Native land and sovereignty]

Trump signed an executive order to increase domestic production of critical minerals, including uranium, copper, potash, gold and possibly coal.

Trump also directed Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to prioritize critical mineral production on federal lands over other activities. Burgum can determine whether other minerals, such as coal, are covered by the order, according to the official.

SIOUX CITY – "It might not be gardening weather yet but a new free seed library in Sioux City will have area gardeners planning and dreaming up summer flower gardens even with snow on the ground and temperatures below freezing.

"Located on the lower level of the #DorothyPecautNatureCenter, the Loess Hills Wild Ones Seed Share Library is a tool for people with a green thumb to utilize.

"'This is a native seed library and members of Loess Hills Wild Ones collected seeds in the fall and we are sharing them with anyone in the community that would like some,' said Marcie Ponder, Loess Hills Wild Ones treasurer.

"The cabinet is housed at the base of the stairs leading to the lower level of the nature center. A binder is full of information about the available seeds including descriptions and photographs."
