Report: Plastics, Oil Industry Deceived Public on Recycling Use for More Than 50 Years
“Plastics manufacturers and industry groups, including some of the largest oil and gas companies in the world, have spent more than 50 years funding and pushing plastics recycling in order to stave off regulatory action – all while knowing that only a small fraction of plastic waste could ever be recycled.”

The land fights, too
A poem on steadfastness written amid the Gaza genocide by Nour Khalil Abu Shammala
The earth yields its fruit,
Defying siege and hunger,
Defying the occupation.
Tomatoes sprout,
Peppers and eggplants,
Despite cut-off water,
Despite forbidden shells.
Mint and basil’s fragrance wafts,
The scent of homeland
In the land of peace.
Despite the tents’ heat,
Children’s displacement,
And loss of dreams,
The earth yields its fruits,
Feeding its children,
North and south,
Refusing starvation.
The earth brings forth vegetables,
And fruits,
Watered by martyrs’ blood.
It fights with its soil,
Holding warriors’ remnants,
Steadfast in death,
Defying weapons,
Defying steel.
Our people plant,
And eat from our land’s soil.
The earth fights side by side,
With its sea, with its brave resisters.
It grows patience,
Quelling children’s hunger,
Silencing mothers’ tears,
Easing men’s burdens.
Only in Gaza,
The earth fights alongside its people.

Rotten to the Core: How the Gaza genocide has revealed anti-Palestinian racism at Apple
Apple has silenced employees who have spoken out for Palestine and shown bias toward Israel through statements and actions. In the process it has lost all credibility as a company that claims to believe in racial equity or social justice.

The Destruction of Palestine Is the Destruction of the Earth
The last six months of genocide in Gaza have ushered in a new phase in a long history of colonization and extraction that reaches back to the nineteenth century. To truly understand the present crisis, Andreas Malm argues, requires a longue durée analysis of Palestine's subjugation to fossil empire.
I Live Near My Friends
Hello, I’m Daniel. On June 1, 2022, I moved into a co-living arrangement in Brooklyn; now I share an apartment with four best friends, with tens more living within a short walk.
Headers:
- Conceptions about “roommates” are incorrectly anchored
- Live with people who take living seriously

- Be brave
Quote: "If you want what I have (and many people do), you need to be brave, and you need to recognize the reward of discomfort. Obtaining a proper fit in lifestyle and social sphere is not easy, otherwise we would all have it. It’s not exactly something you “find,” although that’s the way most people erroneously pursue it. It’s something you build. That means you have to be willing to move, willing to judge, willing to be judged, willing to give different ways of living (apartment arrangement, cohabitants, neighborhoods, and more) a proper trial."
