The pathologization of anger needs to be talked about. What do you mean my therapist is telling me that there’s something “chemically wrong” with me because I am still angry about my mom DYING OF COVID.

of course I’m still angry? My mom and 1.3 million other Americans are dead and you want me to shoot sunshine out of my ass about it?

[rob-by]

“But It’s been 3 years since she died, you have complex grief” yeah and she was on a ventilator for 11 days and she kept writing “I am scared” and “I don’t want to die” on a notepad over and over again. While you were still going out unmasked and unvaccinated and coughing all over each other, I was living a nightmare I couldn’t fucking wake up from. And every single day I’m reminded of it in the form of “haha wasn’t the pandemic such a wacky time haha” and “I’m not getting a booster you can’t make me 🤪 (nobody asked)” and “it’s not real they made the numbers up!!!”

“You’re not coping” Ok here’s the deal; I’ll stop feeling this anger when we have a national memorial (we don’t) or a cdc equipped to stop it from happening again (we don’t) or a population that takes a deadly disease seriously BEFORE it effects them personally (WE DON’T!)

until then, I’m pretty sure my anger is A COMPLETELY NORMAL HUMAN REACTION given the facts at hand

I didn’t expect it to, but this post is taking off. I never share fundraisers but this organization is spearheading federal recognition of peer-submitted Covid memorials and bringing recognition of Covid loss to the public view by testifying to congress to combat misinformation. They do things like create funds for children orphaned by Covid too. And much more. Like. They do a lot. They’re THE Covid nonprofit imo.

If my my mom’s story touched you in any way, and you’re able to, I would love nothing more than to have some folks donate to their cause. They are a registered nonprofit with a platinum transparency rating. (You can write it off on your taxes!)

almost seven years deep into the 2020s this feels less like a retrospective evaluation and more like a prophetic vision

[birdplushie]

often you will see things online where you just have to be like "what a strange thing to say" or "i don't think that's true :)" to yourself and try to move on or you will lose your mind

it's pretty easy to imagine that you are one of some fractional holdout against AI while everyone else has fallen into some misguided love affair with LLMs, and I am so happy to tell you that this is not the case.

the US public is deeply suspicious of AI's impacts on jobs and education. Kamala Harris and the Republican party are both polling better than AI. 8/10 gen zers are concerned about AI's impact on education and only 18% are positive about this technology. there is widespread, bipartisan grassroots organizing against data centers. 97% of Britons are against Grok's "undressing" technology. the majority of Americans are concerned about AI in arenas like self-driving vehicles and healthcare. Even polling data from companies centered on AI shows significant concern around generative technology. OpenAI isn't meeting internal growth bench posts. On top of all that, Musk and Altman are currently both making fools of themselves in a very public trial.

I wrote this to ground myself because within the last month my workplace and gym have become overrun by AI graphics, then I logged out of Tumblr and immediately discovered that my Chemistry professor has switched to transparently AI generated exam feedback

i get that it is recreationally fun to whine and hate. i support all whiners and haters and i agree nintendo should be bankrupted and have to sell all its games for negative ninety dollars. but if new mario games are $80 i just think its really easy to not buy new mario games. like when peoplare like "games are 1 squillion dollars" im like okay maybe for you if you want to buy the new zelda or cod the day of release. for Me, video games are like $15. sometimes $0

they don’t warn you about it but if you love your own company enough to be content by yourself and you’ve got some standards for who you’d date, you’ll spend a lot of time single and nobody will really get why you’re doing that because surely you want to come home and hang out with craig, right? right????? don’t you want to hang out with craig?

Saltwater Crocodiles rank among my favourite animals, but they are also one of the very few animals that genuinely frighten me on a deep animalistic level.

They're incredibly intelligent and under the right conditions will absolutely look at humans as food... Conditions like a group of children playing dangerously close to the edge of the water in a famous crocodile congregation area.

It's not the fault of these children for not knowing better, their parents should be keeping both the children and themselves well clear of the water.

These are the largest crocodilians in the world, and take adult water buffalo and cattle from the river edge. The negligence on display around these animals is mind boggling.

-

In fact it looks like the parents are also sitting there dangerously close to the water. This could have been so much worse than a clip of tourist stupidity.

[maimonideznuts]

BTW, this is the viewing platform at Cahill's Crossing, it is that far back for a reason... That thing in the water is a Water Buffalo carcass being dragged into the crossing by a crocodile, because it's easier to rip chunks off it when it's wedged into the rocks.

The crocodiles congregate here because it's a bottleneck for prey animals aquatic and terrestrial, and the large rocks of the crossing are used as a butchery tool by these incredibly intelligent reptiles.

So it's a great place to see the Crocodiles and that is why there's a purpose built viewing platform... But it's also a place that these crocodiles come to hunt, it's not the zoo, don't climb down to water.

[maimonideznuts]

An account of three men who attempted to cross Cahill's Crossing on foot against all signposted advice.

"they didn't hear anything, they didn't see anything, they just turned around and he [their friend] was gone."

I actually want people to come and see Australia and see crocodiles in the wild, it's an experience... I just want you to know how important it is to be responsible and know that every piece of official advice exists to save your life.

When people argue that food from Chinese and Mexican restaurants in the US are not 'real' representations of that culture's cuisine ignore the historical reality that these dishes were developed by diasporic communities striving to recreate the flavors of home with available resources. Such criticism frames adaptation as a loss of authenticity, rather than recognizing it as a sincere and evolving expression of culture by people separated from their homeland.

no amount of butter or salt removes the nutrients from vegetables

[therosielord]

Also cooked vegetables are more easily digestible than raw vegetables! People always act like raw vegetables are the healthiest but that is NOT true if you have a sensitive digestive system. Roast that shit.

[agni-bi]

Also a lot of the nutrients in veggies are fat-soluble, cooking them in butter or frying them actually makes more of the nutrients available to your body

Once, we had a home of our own and dreams for the future. I was so happy imagining my children growing up together under one roof, surrounded by love, safety, and the life we had built.

Today, our lives have been reduced to tents made of thin fabric that cannot protect us from the scorching summer heat or the freezing winter cold. This is not the life we chose—it is the reality that war forced upon us.

After all the rubble of our home was cleared away, my biggest dream became something so simple: to build a small, proper tent where my family and I can live with a little dignity and protection.

But in Gaza, even building a tent has become impossible for someone in my financial situation.

I ask you from the bottom of my heart to stand with us. Every donation, no matter how small, and every share of this post brings us one step closer to giving my children a safe place to call home again.

Thank you to everyone who refuses to forget us and chooses to stand beside us. 🤍vetted by

It feels cool to be "in" on celebrity gossip before anyone else. I ran into Californian Condor V9 and looked her up on the condor lookup website. It says her current mate is dead and she has no kids but I saw her with a new man AND a juvenile.

[taciturn-nerd]

OP I hope you don't mind but I made a tabloid cover out of this

I used two more condor photos by Andrew Orr and Alam Clampitt from peregrinefund.org

Gotta use the skills I learned from making tabloids out of the Jane Austen novels somewhere right?

Great, now I feel like I'm bird shaming. Congrats V9 on your new family!

The whole "we're a diverse company, Susan from accounting is a goth" thing doesn't even hit as a meme for me. I've worked government and corporate IT, and in my experience a lot of work sites will in fact cite the fact that they don't make the desk jockeys cover their tattoos or remove their nasal piercings during work hours as proof of their commitment to diversity. It's actually, genuinely Like That.
