I went hiking today on a pretty steep trail and the humidity kicked my ass. But I saw a lot of interesting fungi and some wildflowers so it was worth it! Here are some of the flowers. #Hiking #Bloomscrolling
Five petaled oink flowers radiating from a central stem. The middle of the stem looks white where new flowers start Daisy looking flowers except the petals are dark yellow and the center dark brown.
Orchid looking light purple flowers. They are tiny but the photo is zoomed in. There are three pointy petals on the bottom sort of sticking straight out and a little hood over the top

@paninid Shakespeare’s plays and the King James Bible were written 400 years ago, and we can read them.

Geoffrey Chaucer wrote over 600 years ago, and we can somewhat read his work, but it can be difficult.

@paninid If you’re interested in learning more, I highly recommend The History of English Podcast. It’s really fascinating.

I admin a local "pantry" group on Facebook, for food sharing. Basically, if you have food (or other stuff, but mostly food) that you don't want for whatever reason you can post it in the group and give it away. It stops good being thrown out and wasted, and helps people who might be going hungry otherwise.

Tonight a woman put up a post talking about how she's a young mum with two small boys, and that they were out of food until Thursday. She talked about how she was embarrassed to ask but really needed help.

Two women answered the post, offering food. The OP explained that she didn't drive and would it be ok of people dropped things at her place, so I offered to drive around and collect the things people were giving and drop them at her place. I don't have spare food I can help with, but I have a car and I have time.

The second woman I collected from was someone I actually met at the beginning of the year, when she posted in the group and asked for help with cleaning supplies.. I gave her a bunch of things I had tucked away under the sink and didn't use.

She had told me then about how her partner had just been diagnosed with cancer. She told me tonight how she'd stayed in the group because she was waiting for the opportunity to help someone else because we'd helped her so much. She's doing better now, and it made her feel happy she could help someone else.

When I dropped the food these two women had given to the OP, she talked to me about how her partner had died suddenly the year before, leaving her with two young boys.. both with autism and ADHD. She said she's 31 and doesn't have her life together yet. I told her I'm 50 and mines a mess too. I told her that one of the women who had offered food was someone the group had helped previously, and how happy she'd been to be able to help as well. We talked about how community means not only helping people, but also being helped. We talked about how this means that our communities are stronger and prosper together. She's looking forward to being able to help someone else too.

This is how mutual aid works. No matter how dark things get, we can find hope in community.

Deal of the day: New study links online shopping to air pollution.

Nitrogen dioxide levels near e-commerce warehouses are 20 percent higher than in other neighborhoods. It can even be measured from space. #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming

Dan Neuman hometown (AP)
The nitrogen dioxide (as explained in the article) is created from the nitric oxide emitted by all the truck diesel engines at the warehouse. So the problem is that all these trucks are concentrated in one place and not distributed between multiple companies.

Overall emissions due to e-commerce are probably lower than without because it is more efficient to move one vehicle with multiple parcels than it is to have people take individual vehicles out to buy things.

The problem goes away once we have electric trucks. #ElectrifyEverything

@lawyersgunsnmoney I knew that. It doesn't seem to be getting feet yet. Let's hope it's clear enough that 1) the writer thought it'd be good for clicks no matter if it's a good thing 2) writer found someone who wanted to sabotage one of the VP candidates, possibly for gain.

Every time this happens, I let people know it's going on. Probably we ought to complain or make it clear to our associates that that journalist plays these games. Also, it's the weekend, and the quality goes down.

Rewards for tourists who litter pick in Copenhagen
Tourists will be rewarded with free food and activities if they participate in environmentally friendly tasks while visiting Copenhagen, the city's tourist board has announced.

The trial scheme, which begins on 15 July, will see tourist attractions in the Danish capital offer rewards for activities such as litter-picking, travelling by public transport or biking around the city.

Under the initiative, visitors can claim free lunches, coffees, glasses of wine and kayak rental in return for their work.

The "CopenPay" scheme is designed to offset the "environmental burden" of tourism, according to the Copenhagen tourist board.

"When you travel abroad - if you fly to other places or you travel by car - you pollute," says the tourist board's communications chief Rikke Holm Petersen.

"One of the things we can change is getting people to act more sustainably at the destination."

The plan is only a "little step towards the green transition", Ms Petersen admits.

The project is "trust-based", meaning attractions are unlikely to ask for proof that the green activity has been completed. "In some attractions you might have to show a picture of you riding a bike, or of your public transportation ticket," she says.

The government is not reimbursing the companies behind the attractions - including museums, rooftop bars and kayaking charities - for participating in the scheme. So far 24 organisations have signed up to the pilot.

It makes me sad that this huge traffic jam was apparently caused by a truck carrying lithium batteries catching fire, but thinking about how many of those ICEVs might be overheating while they're idling in order to power their air conditioning makes me wonder how the EV drivers are doing in comparison.

Anyways, I say this post on my TL just after seeing the picture you posted of the semis stuck on the highway.
