Some quotes, like this one from American social reformer and women's rights activist Susan B. Anthony from 1896, echo through the ages.

#TIL you really need to cook sage to use it in cooking.

Let that sink in. Four years of air-raids, sirens, blackouts and terror. Today our thoughts are with our Kyiv-based friends at CargoCult & Mishael in Kherson. Their strength in the face of such an ordeal – which they didn't ask for – reminds us what true resilience looks like.

Simple Sabotage Field Manual (@simple_sabotage@mastodon.social) Anyone can break up a showing of an enemy propaganda film by putting two or three dozen large moths in a paper bag. Take the bag to the movies with you, put it on the floor in an empty section of the theater as you go in and leave it open. The moths will fly out and climb into the projector beam, so that the film will be obscured by fluttering shadows.

I often wonder how @simple_sabotage gets the moths in the paper bag to start
