If you're not involved in local organizing, you need to be! ❤️ (lemmy.world)
 

If you're not already connected to local organizing efforts where you are, start looking for ways to change that:

  • Look up if there are any mutual aid hubs around you
  • go to protests and ask around
  • try to get involved with food not bombs and see if you can get linked in with more efforts
  • If ICE/CBP were sent to your state, you might ask folks who organizes ICE watch in your area. Here in central NC thats a workers rights group called Siembra

Any efforts to protect our futures and our neighbors will happen through local organizing with people in YOUR community, where YOU are at. If you want a democracy, this chapter of history seems to demand that we work for it; start figuring out how to get connected.

If you have advice or encouragement for folks, please feel free to share it ❤️

Figured I'd join in sharing what I'm playing- my platinum team ☺️ (lemmy.world)
 

From left to right: Bucket, Poki, Soup, Marble, Bubbles, and Goopy :)

I'm playing the following following platinum rom hack, so its been fun having my Pokémon follow me around.

Just beat the elite four so now I'm probably wrapping up my time with the game, and will eventually move on to gen 5 (I'm playing through each gen moving through the regions, I've not really played any modern games so I'm looking forward to trying them :)

a picture of a 3DS screen showing a Pokémon trainer in the middle and three Pokémon on each side. From left to right, bastiodon, garchomp, spiritomb, rotom fan, toxicroak, and the blue and green variant of gastrodon. There's confetti falling, and at the top of the screen it says "League Champion! Congratulations!" and at the bottom it says "Cris ID 03050 Time: 126:50"

Smash burgers I made :) (lemmy.world)
 

It was hard to get a good picture, sorry it's not that amazing of a photo 😅 thoughts on how to better photograph a smashburger are welcome if something comes to mind

Just some cheap buns
Two smashed pattes on each (w/salt and pepper)
American cheese
Sliced poblano
And ketchup & mayo

I used to really like doing fresh jalapeno, but now generally have to avoid spicy food for dumb reasons so poblano has been a nice substitute.

For the patties you just roll ground beef into a ball roughly the size of a golf ball, maybe a tad bigger if you want, get your cast iron super hot, and then place your patty ball on the cast iron, and smash it down with a suitable metal implement- I use a flat, non-slotted cookie scraper and use the butt of a silicone spatula to press down on the top of the spatula since it's hard to get good leverage on the cookie scraper without putting your hand too close to the sputtering hot pan

Ubuntu Council corrects forum moderator's interpretation of rules relating to queerness (web.archive.org)
 

Was surprised no one bothered to post this give how big of a reaction this story got.

Wanted to post the update and correction cause that deserves to be seen just as much. This seems like a reasonable, thoughtful handling of the issue.

I still don't really wanna use Ubuntu though 😅

Do-it-yourself biology (en.wikipedia.org)
 

Do-it-yourself biology (DIY biology, DIY bio) is a biotechnological social movement in which individuals, communities, and small organizations study biology and life science using the same methods as traditional research institutions.

DIY biology is primarily undertaken by individuals with limited research training from academia or corporations, who then mentor and oversee other DIY biologists with little or no formal training. This may be done as a hobby, as a not-for-profit endeavor for community learning and open-science innovation, or for profit, to start a business.
