You might think “americans and their lack of free healthcare, am I right?” but no. The farmer in Brazil living 15 minutes away from the public hospital, who can call us and get a free ambulance ride, will look at his own floppy arm nearly bended in half and go “whatever, it’s my left arm anyway, I can hold stuff with my teeth. That arm was always shit.”

[ID: a triptych in a linocut style with three different scenes and captions for each. The first reads, “4 hours for work” and depicts a feminine person at their job in a long dress and half-apron in red. The second reads, “8 hours for rest” and depicts a person lying in bed in yellow. The last reads, “12 hours for what we will” and depicts two people in a rowboat, with one reading a newspaper in green. A small person coloured in red stands holding a short banner above their head that reads, “4 hours”. End ID]
For context, the original art said 8 in all three sections, being part of the labor movement efforts in the 1880s to institute and enforce an eight-hour work day.
I know, I know, gatekeeping the outdoors, that’s supposedly bad, right, but I think if you show up to do a hike and you brought a portable speaker with you to play music while you hike, I think, like hear me out, there should be a gate, and someone at the gate should keep you from doing the hike.
playing music in public should get strong social disapproval
Recorded music, anyway. Live music is different rules. If you want to lug an entire cello up a mountain you can do whatever the hell you want.
Carrying a speaker on a hike to make everyone listen to your bullshit, and simply sitting under a tree and playing a fiddle in the woods, are two activities so different they may as well not exist in the same world.
