There are people out there taking action, go find some. Collective action is always stronger than individual action. If you don't currently have a community that is engaged, consider joining a Unitarian Universalist congregation. Unitarians in the US and Europe resisted the German Nazis by creating documents and providing refuge for Jewish people fleeing the Holocaust. Many congregations today have active social and environmental justice groups, often focusing on local action with low barriers to entry. Nobody is expected to believe any particular scripture, but UUs have a common set of principles, the first being everyone has inherent worth and dignity. The sermons at my congregation lately have been about trans visibility, rising to the moment and processing the chaos, which I've found inspiring.
I've heard the concern that employers are worried someone with a PhD who is taking a "lesser" job won't be around all that long and will continue job hunting for something better. For employers with this mindset, I'd like to suggest: 1) it's not too hard to beat academia wages; 2) find ways to promote within/add responsibility when people prove themselves
Our Shark brand vacuum has been a world of difference with dog hair in the carpet, compared to our previous vacuum. They have several models in your price range
Echoing that the Hyundai Ioniqs are fantastic EVs with plenty of actual buttons in the console as well as fast charging speeds (the chargers themselves are the limiting factor)
I think the north east corridor Acela line claims to be high speed, its a bit faster than standard Amtrak I guess. I think there's also a line in Florida
You may like the book Why Civil Resistance Works by Erica Chenoweth and Maria Stephan. It includes three indepth cases studies of tactics used by resistance movements.
You can either start with a general Internet search for doctors and read their reviews and check if they accept your insurance. Or start with your insurance company's list of providers (which may be out of date) and then go read reviews for doctors. If possible, I highly recommend non-profit/university-affiliated doctors offices, and especially stay away from anything owned by private equity...they try to squeeze as much money out of patients and their employees as possible.
In the US, doctors aren't allowed to share info about their patients with anyone without the patient's permission. However, there are lists out there for people who try to circumvent controlled substance laws.
Wicca/paganism/Earth-based traditions tend to be matriarchal and use names like Earth Mother, Ancient Mother, Gaia, etc to describe the most powerful deity.
A lot of things marketed as soaps these days are really detergents that contain sulfates and can be very harmful if swallowed.
Stick to FDA approved medicines. Medicine like tums use this strategy to decrease the acidity. Other medications block the stomach's ability to become acidic.
If you have heart burn that won't go away or chronic acid reflux, see a doctor
Agreed, a lot of the time I'm in need of a super charger, there's a line to use it. The demand is there and it's not like EV owners can easily switch back to gas
Check if your area has a Weed Warriors group/organization. They go around removing invasive plants that are smothering native plants. I find it fun and get a satisfaction of having done something nice while exercising.
If your area doesn't have that, there's most likely opportunities to volunteer with hiking trail maintenance at nearby state parks. Or just go hiking, start small and bring water!
The City Nerd channel on YouTube and Nebula discusses this issue a LOT. Trains are by far the most cost effective method of transporting large numbers of people and goods.
Here's one on the cities with the most affordable housing and transportation costs. As he explains housing and transportation costs are directly linked to each other.
