good is a thing you do

Saw a post about helping people that used the analogy of "if you see someone fall off a cruiseship and theres a life preserver ring on the wall next to you do you walk away or do you throw them the life preserver? Of course you throw them the life preserver." And i dont want to add to or tag the post with any sort of correction because its literally not the point at all but i am desperate to say that the first thing they teach you when you work on a cruise ship is that if someone falls overboard you Do Not Look Away

If theres a life preserver nearby but you have to turn your back to get it, tough luck. If theres someone nearby who can't hear you but you could run and get them, absolutely not. You see someone go overboard you point at them and never ever let them out of your sight because looking away even once could mean losing them forever, so you just have to trust that someone will hear you scream for help but you cant for any reason look away

And maybe that adds to the life preserver metaphor somehow but mostly i just need you to know if you spot someone in the water you point at them and you watch them close and you scream for help

Always remember to stay weird!

Climate denialism in the netherlands is so fucking funny like. Bro the floods. They’re coming

There’s a natural ice-skating event where you tour through 11 cities in Friesland (one of the northern provinces) that’s scarily close to celebrating it’s 30 year anniversary of not being held at all on account of the lack of thick natural ice. It’s been like a solid 5 years since i’ve seen any amount of snow. Bro there’s no snow anymore. I REMEMBER THERE BEING SNOW AND IT’S NOT THERE ANYMORE BRO

Bro i don’t know september heatwaves used to not be a thing! It used to be cold and rainy in september just 10 years ago!

The government can’t help it because oil corpo dick is just that good

We've got dry seasons. We used to not have dry seasons. EVER.

I actually love how much the notes are filled with people remembering seasons being radically different in their childhoods than they are now it’s fucking crazy. Every year more people will be radicalized by the weather.

gender may be a prison but I'm a cheeky cunt with a lockpick

An interesting perspective to consider

this 100% true. toxic people are everywhere annoying everyone. learning to cut them off has been such a blessing.
