The difference between "There used to be hot summers too,” and a climate crisis.

Look, we all know this is true. But there isn't a SOURCE for this, and the graph itself is basically illegible beyond "ooh colors". If we want to be good stewards of our informational resources, we need to cite our sources.

From a reverse image search, I found the website Show Your Stripes, run by the University of Reading in the UK, which is likely where the above graph originated. It provides temperature data for various regions of the world from approximately 1900-2025. For example, here are graphs for Canada, India, and Papua New Guinea:

All clearly show a sharp rise in temperature beginning around approximately the 1980s, which corresponds with the graph in OP's post. But now we know where this data came from, and we can verify its validity accordingly.

Real thing that changed how i write: I started asking "what does this character think is wrong with them" and separately "what is actually wrong with them." Those two things are almost never the same. She thinks she's too much. She's actually terrified of being too little. He thinks he's bad at commitment. He's actually just never met someone he trusted enough. The gap between their diagnosis of themselves and the real thing, that's your character arc right there. you don't have to explain it. just write both.

Funny colours to put together, but I swear it’s gonna look so good.

I never would have picked these colours out on their own, but they are the colours in the panel, so it’ll match.

Oh my gooooooooood I love this.

Still have to quilt it (and figure out what to put on the back) but wow.

I say that a lot about my quilts, but i fall in love with almost every one for different reasons 💖

I have just found. the COOLEST website???

Lost Kitchen Scrolls

It has a huge variety of historical recipes from different regions, taken from manuscripts, transcribed and translated, and a whole section of notes about the context for the recipe. It's really fun and I AM going to try a couple of these recipes.

Look at how this lamb recipe is presented:

This is just such a fun way to learn more about historical foodways and discover traditional cuisine.

Look at all the filters you can use:

Maybe if I can forage some good blackberries this year, I can make a 300 year old recipe for blackberry wine!

Anyway. Check out Lost Kitchen Scrolls.

What's really grating when people discuss Obsession is how much weight people put on Bear's wish. Like the wish is what made him the bad guy. No one can sit and say they've never wished upon a star or thrown a coin into a well for something to happen. You're not expecting it because logically you know magic isn't real. Same thing with Bear. There was no reason for him to think he needed to choose his words wisely while he was making a wish over a $7 toy he got from a novelty shop alone in his car. There was even less reason for him to think magic was real and the wish would work. Nothing that happened there made Bear the bad guy.

What did make Bear the bad guy was everything he did once he realized the wish was real. Once he realized that his action was causing suffering, then the onus is on him to stop immediately. That's why the dinner scene was so important because it wasn't the phone call to the customer service representative that made Bear realize the wish was real. It was the dinner scene where Bear is told that 1) Nikki sees him as a brother and 2) she lied about her dad being sick. Bear then asks Nikki if she loves him more than anyone else in the world and she says yes. Without a shadow of doubt, Bear knew the wish was real right at the moment. Yet in the very next scene he has sex with her knowing that she could not say no. This moment is what makes Bear the bad guy for the rest of the film, not the wish he had no reason to think would work.
