something i've noticed. people seem to think the most nature-y nature is forests. so forests are always prioritized for conservation, and planting trees is synonymous with ecological activism. my state was largely prairies and wetlands before colonization. those ecosystems are important too. trees aren't the end-all be-all of environmentalism. plant native grasses. protect your wetlands.
deserts also!!! it sucks so bad that people think of desert as 'wasteland' just because it's not suited for western european style ag development, they're beautiful and delicate and valuable ecosystems and, i think it's good to point out that humans have been living willingly in them for thousands of years
Death Grips is online
update: the concert has happened and someone posted a livestream, saving the subreddit. however
there is no easter bunny. there is no tooth fairy. and there is no python script to ban everyone from /r/deathgrips
At new mall job.
Customer: can you direct me to the bathroom?
Me: food court by the chick fil a.
Customer walks away.
Manager: you said you never come to this mall. How did you know there was a bathroom by the chick fil a?
Me: legally, if your restaurant has a seating area, you are required to have a bathroom nearby. Since this mall was built in the 90s and most of the big restaurants pulled put, that means that the chick fil a I saw you eating earlier probably is the biggest restaurant left, and most likely built with a bathroom nearby to anticipate long lines.
Manager: ...???
Me: so is there a bathroom by the chick fil a or not?
You watch a lot of police procedurals, don't you.
I grew up during the beginning of the shopping mall decline and saw a lot of malls in the process of renovation. I've also worked in a kitchen before, and I noticed the chic fil a bag because I'm gay and I kind of tuck that info in the back of my brain because it tells me how much to tone down my politics.
Sometimes people just know things, also.
just got called "tumblrcore" after being here for a day this is horrible
just tag me in your callout next time
the fucked up thing is how "Creep" by Radiohead will really get your ass if you hear it at the wrong time. that shit can be stupid and overdramatic or it can have the weight of an atomic bomb dropped on your heart it just depends
googledocs you are getting awfully uppity for something that can’t differentiate between “its” and “it’s” correctly
oho and now you’re questioning my adverb usage? you? you?
you fucking dare?
you try to change ‘tears’ to ‘years’ for no reason but don’t catch ‘imporint’???
hey quick question gdocs
what the fuck
querched up white boy
i don’t have screenshots, but one time i typed the word “table” into google docs in the process of writing my story, and google docs carefully underlined the first four letters (“tabl”), and asked me if perhaps i’d meant to write “table”
yes, google docs, that would be why i’d written “table”
out of curiosity i accepted the change. the word now read “tablee”
It's only now occured to me that team rocket may have never had to risk arrest by visiting a Pokemon center via Jessie literally being a trained poke nurse...
she has been carrying this whole team on her back for 25 years
Yes, we fucked up a lot. but it is not all doom and gloom. Good news about Białowieża Forest! January 20th 2023- Largest recorded herd of bison recorded on outskirts of Białowieża Forest
European bison have now rebounded from vulnerable to near threatened, which means they are no longer at risk of global extinction in near future.
That still means habitat needs to be protected. Old growth forest still needs protected, but little of it is left. Forest that’s not old growth but is old regrowth also needs that so it cane become that old growth some day
The trend is not relentlessly downward.Do not be complacent, but also do not be hopeless or blind to what others did decades ago and are now coming to fruition.
where I live they've cut mostly all old growth. it's farm trees now. depressing

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
'unrepairable' bullshit; reforestation is absolutely an achievable goal. Yes, it will take multiple human lifetimes. That doesn't mean it's hopeless.
^^^This. You are NOT allowed to give up hope or let the efforts of thousands and millions of your fellow human beings and ancestors go unrecognised like this! Get your ass up and stop moaning, and go plant a tree! If you live in the northeast, give money to the people reviving the American Chestnut. If you live in any part of the east, plant a fucking sycamore. These are the keystone trees out here, and if you can't plant one, then go LOOK for them! The American Chestnut Foundation needs citizen scientists to go out and look for old trees so they can collect pollen and help keep the revival genetically diverse and that's something you CAN do, right now.
If you live in the UK, look up Reforesting Scotland, an organization for doing exactly that. Or the Great Northumberland Forest if you're in England, or The Native Woodland Trust in Eire. India has Greenvein, and there are many others that I found just looking up the Reforestation category on wikipedia.
HOWEVER, as a desert-dweller I want to make clear that forests are not the only biome that needs protection and restoration! If you live somewhere that isn't supposed to be a forest; that is chaparral, desert, prairie, or wetland, remember that those biomes are equally important and healthy too--and beautiful! And don't forget aquatic biomes too, like kelp forest, sea grass prairie, rivers, and lakes! (Corals are very charismatic but they are just like forests in that they're often myopically considered the only worthy biome.)
If you live in the gulf coast states of the US or other swampy areas, then champion your wetlands! Successful campaigns have replanted mangroves, which offer important protection against hurricanes and coastal erosion--this is badly needed in Louisiana and Florida for example.
If you live in Southern California, Arizona, and New Mexico, you live in chaparral country and desert country, and those are delicate and ancient biomes that have been devastated too and need help, particularly because so many people look at them and say, 'what a worthless waste with no life' and that is not true my friends! Deep roots are what old growth in deserts and prairies look like, and to that end we need to change how we think about farming and let deserts BE deserts, particularly since the deserts in the southwestern US are so badly treated by local industries, and so unique on earth!
I am lucky enough to come from roots that paid attention to the helpers and the revivals, the (successful!) effort to rescue California Condors was a success story that was local that I got to see happen in real time. You cannot sit there and succumb to apathy and giving up, I know you're tired and fed up but the only thing different now is that the information isn't buried, not that things are somehow worse. They aren't worse, in fact they are getting better because so many people KNOW now and are out there WORKING ON IT. You have to do that too! There's no 'or' you just have to!
The big discourse on twitter right now is that writers going on strike or cancelling their own series are breaking an invisible “contract” they made with their fans and all creators owe their fans a satisfying conclusion to their stories. Actually all fans owe all creators for entertaining them and if a creator says “I don’t want to perform this labor anymore,” then regardless of the cliffhanger that leaves you with, your only response should be “take care! Thank you for all your hard work!!!” :)
Like it or not… this.
When someone looks at abstract art and is like “ugh, I could’ve made that” it’s like…yeah? You think you could’ve? I like how those squiggles and splatters look, and how the colors play against each other, and I bet you could make something like that too. Wanna give it a try? I’ve got acrylics and tape and cardboard we could experiment on. It’s fun to break art and composition down to its bare essentials without worrying about things like representation or naturalism. Come on, let’s paint some lines.
phenomenal execution. flawless commitment. deep existential horror.
In my opinion the title of babygirl can only be applied if the character is covered in blood 24 hours a day
