I've got a handful of books written by and about Zapatistas. One I really like is a collection of modern folk tales written in/adapted to English by Comandante Marco, although I can't remember the name now. I'll take a look at my bookshelf tomorrow and either comment here or make my own post to share.

Also thanks for linking the dbzero community I hadn't seen that one yet!

We harvested some mullein from the side of an old quarry recently. Dug up a young one and have it in a pot now, cut off a couple flower stalks and put them in water and have been plucking the flowers as they continue to bloom, and made bundles of the leaves to dry. There was so much there we couldn't have taken 2% haha. They love growing up where the ground has been recently disturbed. In this case they were all growing up out of mostly loose rocks downhill from the road. Very useful plant and abundant around us.

This is fixed on the new version of the app! You can get it on F-droid with the IzzyOnDroid repo, or build it directly with Obtainium

The loss of RvW has meant that certain states have essentially outlawed all abortions, and I believe others have tightened restrictions beyond what they would have been allowed to before, while still technically allowing them under the right conditions. Practically what that means is many many people now have to travel out of state (sometimes across multiple states to the nearest abortion friendly state) in order to access safe abortions. Unfortunately some states (Texas and maybe others) have even outlawed going to a legal state for an abortion. Texas has also passed a law that allows for regular people to "report" their neighbors if they suspect they've gotten an abortion.

Even though in many places it's still legal to travel to another state for an abortion, for poorer people this is often entirely cost prohibitive because many southern states are completely surrounded by anti-abortion states. The distant travel problem is further exasperated by our countries general lack of public transportation (trains and buses are more expensive here and have very limited routes). Add to that again the fact that the vast majority of our work force, especially low paid workers, have none or very little paid sick leave.

Essentially the wealthy in most of the country can still access safe abortion by taking a short vacation to a nearby state, whereas poorer folks might find it extremely difficult or impossible to afford the necessary travel, let alone the cost of our notoriously expensive healthcare.

You can also use Redreader. It's been my main way of accessing reddit for years and it's actually the only app (that I know of) with the API exception for being accessibility focused and non-monetized. It's FOSS and has been ad free forever, although I fear reddit will make them start serving reddit's ads on the first.

I use Aegis for 2FA and keepassdx for password management. Syncthing keeps everything synced across devices without any effort on my part.

But spam and promotional material (where innapropriate) are worthy of a report so they can be removed, not just pushed down into obscurity.

Can other people actually see the picture? It doesn't show up for me even though it should be uploaded to my home instance. Still getting my bearings here on Lemmy 😅

Haha you aren't alone in using bromite for months without noticing it's no longer maintained.

+1 for bromite-buildtools https://github.com/uazo/bromite-buildtools

On mobile I use bromite-buildtools maintained by Uazo on github. I've read they were involved with bromite when it was still actively maintained and have been continuing to improve it and keep it up to date with chromium upstream. I use Obtainium to keep it updated since it's not on fdroid or Izzy.

On desktop I keep it simple with FF and ublock
