If you aren't following the news here in the Pacific Northwest, this is a very, very big deal. Our native salmon numbers have been plummeting over the past century and change. First it was due to overfishing by commercial canneries, then the dams went in and slowed the rivers down and blocked the salmons' migratory paths. More recently climate change is warming the water even more than the slower river flows have, and salmon can easily die of overheating in temperatures we would consider comfortable.

Removing the dams will allow the Klamath River and its tributaries to return to their natural states, making them more hospitable to salmon and other native wildlife (the reservoirs created by the dams were full of non-native fish stocked there over the years.) Not only will this help the salmon thrive, but it makes the entire ecosystem in the region more resilient. The nutrients that salmon bring back from their years in the ocean, stored within their flesh and bones, works its way through the surrounding forest and can be traced in plants several miles from the river.

This is also a victory for the Yurok, Karuk, and other indigenous people who have relied on the Klamath for many generations. The salmon aren't just a crucial source of food, but also deeply ingrained in indigenous cultures. It's a small step toward righting one of the many wrongs that indigenous people in the Americas have suffered for centuries.

I bought a big pencil and put it in my pocket

A lot of you could not say the same

pjackk is a perfect one-to-one of the stereotypical discord server patron who is perpetually on the verge of being banned for saying weird shit to other server members &complaining that "no one likes me or talks to me on here" but keeps begging to stay and the mods are worried if they do kick him out he'll kill himself or something

gonna be honest with you, not trying to put you on blast here, but everything i said in the OG post was said with appreciation to their craft. whoever runs that blog has a deep understanding of how fucked up people online with no boundaries speak to & treat others and its mindblowingly accurate to someone (me) who has dealt with this exact sort of guy in servers multiple times in the past
