XR Boston plays basketball in halls of MA State House to demand Governor ban new fossil fuel infrastructure
On Monday September 18, more than 30 climate activists from Extinction Rebellion Boston (XR) played a creative version of basketball in the halls of the Massachusetts State House, to demand that Governor Maura Healey "stop playing games with our future." The activists split into two "teams," one team representing the government (with sponsorship logos for fossil fuel companies on their jerseys) and the other team representing "New Fossil Fuels". On the second floor outside Governor Healey's office, activists made raucous throwing and dribbling motions, while shouting as if in game-play. Meanwhile, other activists playing the role of Massachusetts residents as spectators carried banners and shouted for the game to end. Spectator chants included: "Commonwealth, you’re breaking the rules, don’t pass the ball to Fossil Fuels! You’re our home team, we must win! It’s our planet, go all-in! Fossil fuels, aren’t you ashamed? It’s our future, not a game! We see your fouls to make a basket, there’s no games on a dead planet!"
These activists managed to disrupt business as usual for a full afternoon. After a long game, the crowd of activists occupied the Governor's Constituents office for two hours until eight arrests were made. During the occupation, they chanted together and sang protest songs in high spirits. As arrestees were led away, their cohorts sang "Courage [activist's name], you do not walk alone, we will walk with you, and sing your spirit home."

During the occupation, they chanted together and sang protest songs in high spirits. As arrestees were led away, their cohorts sang "Courage my friend, you do not walk alone, we will walk with you, and sing your spirit home."
Extinction Rebellion Boston's demand is No New Fossil Fuel Infrastructure in Massachusetts.
Banning new fossil fuel infrastructure includes:
NO new fossil fuel power plants
NO new residential or commercial gas connections
NO new or expanded natural gas distribution pipelines, transmission pipelines, or compressor stations
NO new liquified natural gas production facilities, storage facilities, or terminals
NO new gas stations or other gasoline and diesel infrastructure
NO new airports or airfield expansions
Stopping new fossil fuel infrastructure under development includes:
MMWEC’s Peaker Plant in Peabody
NEC’s Liquified Natural Gas Facility in Charlton
LNG expansion to Douglas
L.G. Hanscom Airfield's North Airfield Development in Bedford
"Modernization" projects in Lowell and Worcester
"Reliability" projects in Western Mass. and Sharon-to-Brockton
The Hopkinton-Ashland Transfer Line
Meter stations in Longmeadow and Charlton
Why are we using creative disruption? Asking nicely hasn't kept humanity safe from the effects of climate change, neither has writing letters and petitions, neither has hopes and prayers. The global average temperature for July 2023 is confirmed to be the highest on record for any month, and August 2023 was the hottest August in recorded history. We gasp through wildfire smoke, and our neighbors to the north wade through floodwaters. What more will it take before our government takes action?

Yesterday I had a job interview in Boston and made a day trip of it. The weather was perfect and the city was lively. After my interview I stopped at a few different places around seaport to enjoy a cocktail before my train ride home. I love the dichotomy between all the architecture styles around the city. I could make another post of just that and all the cars I saw! By the time I got on the train home, I had hit 27k steps walking in flats!

Rap Government Lesson
If you’ve ever wondered what exactly a legislator “does” exactly… or maybe you never thought to ask? That’s because they keep you distracted with the Presidential election, so you won’t pay attention to the Houses of Congress and the Judicial Branches.
This independent rap artist breaks it down for you just how important the state and federal senate and house of representative races are!

TN House Advances Bill Requiring Local Officers to aid US Immigration Authorities
TN House advances bill requiring local officers to aid US immigration authorities...
The Republican-led Tennessee House advanced a proposal Thursday that would require law enforcement agencies in the state to communicate with federal immigration authorities if they discover people are in the the country illegally, and would broadly mandate cooperation in the process of identifying, catching, detaining and deporting them.
The House vote coincides with efforts in other…

I like to think that Vulcans who come to understand that Humans just can’t try to process emotions the same way as them, it’s just healthiest to let it out in harmless ways, decide that venting and stuff should be taken just as seriously as Vulcan’s meditation time, and will encourage the Humans around them to complain about what’s upsetting them
People who are used to aloof Vulcans who avoid Humans at all cost running into one comforting a Human
“-and then they said my cheesecake was subpar, and they didn’t even bring a dish!!!”
“The purpose of this event was that every participant brings a food item of sorts, correct?”
“Yeah!!”
“And they did not follow this rule while insulting dishes that were brought?”
“Mostly just my dish but yeah >:(“
“How illogical”
“That’s what I’m saying!!!”
#star trek#Vulcans#Humans#not based on a specific thing#but I used to know this annoying couple that were ‘family friends’#who would show up to potluck dinners and the like and would either bring nothing or bring something really just. out of left field?#like a bag of frozen chicken to a bbq#and then proceed to make sure they are first even if it was stated to let kids go first#would take HUGE amounts before anyone else got a chance to get a plate#and then make off with the leftovers again even if they were already claimed for#and it wasn’t a food insecurity thing trust me I would never speak bad about a person getting food if that was even a remote chance#the adults who raised us knew them really well and we’d been to their house a ton of times#they were just dicks#and yeah. they’d occasionally insult the food. while eating the MAJORITY of it.#it was so weird at their home they would go out of their way to get the healthiest options possible#you know the really bland tasteless expensive stuff that apparently was healthier#but then if they were visiting our house they would. eat all our unhealthy snacks.#that always pissed me off so much as a kid because we actually had a food insecurity thing going on#and also a variety of other reasons that are a bit too depressing to bring up on this post#but anyways we’d hardly ever get to have nice snacks#and this couple would just take them all??? even after we’d tell them repeatedly that it was ours and those snacks weren’t gonna be#replaced#hated that couple#if you’re wondering why they were ‘family friends’ it’s because the couple who raised us#(it feels weird to type it out like that but apparently legal guardians doesn’t fit since they never finished petitioning 💀)#liked having them around because it made them look like ‘such great Christian’s’ being nice to the people#that no one else wanted to be friends with#I always thought that was a really weird and fucked up reason to be friends with someone#this got long sorry 😭

Economic Realities Over Political Rhetoric: A Critical Analysis of the State House Press Release on Nigeria's Foreign Exchange Crisis
The press release issued by the State House yesterday [https://twitter.com/aonanuga1956/status/1759294860727566785?t=DjBVz7JsMrCjI7L7Z5Q7Ew&s=19] by Bayo Onanuga, in response to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s comments on the foreign exchange crisis in Nigeria is simply a very big waste of time, and raises several concerns and prompts an analysis of the government’s economic policies. This…
