Having an abusive parent is kinda funny in retrospect like mommy why do you have beef with me im 4 i love you

Haters (my dad) can't stand to see a bad bitch (me, nine years old) winning ("drawing too loud")

[gildedproblems]

How do you draw too loud?

[teaboot]

Well you see the thing is that child abuse is inherently irrational

Verified: Microsoft 365 gets massive 45% price hike — and it's all to do with AI tools (Tom's Guide - January 17, 2025)

oopsie i tripped and spilled my link to archive dot org's downloadable copy of Microsoft office suite for 2007, which features no AI tools and is a powerful word processor that still holds up just fine on windows 10!

On April 16th 2025 the US federal government has proposed to change the interpretation of the endangered species act so that it no longer protects habitat.

This is open for public comment until the end of May 19th. Please comment and make your voice heard.

Wildlife need their habitat. If the ESA redefines harm so that habitat is no longer protected, the implications for wildlife would be catastrophic.

reminder

[todaysbird]

Ten more days.

Whether or not this has any impact on the final decision, everyone should make their voice heard.

Please take a few minutes to add a public comment. Excluding habitat destruction from the definition of “harm” under the Endangered Species Act is incredibly disingenuous, intellectually dishonest, and flies in the face of the reality that habitat destruction is a main driver of stress for the majority of endangered and threatened species.

Make your voice heard and let them know you disagree that endangered species can somehow be preserved separately from their environment. Protecting them means preserving their habitat, full stop.

It's Endangered Species Day (May 16th 2025) Use this as an opportunity to send in your comments! We are nothing without our fellow earthlings! They are Earth's treasures and must be protected! Once they are gone, they won't come back (and no, we can't just clone them and put them back, they'll just die all over again without their habitats)

Any day now

people have suddenly started reblogging this post of mine from february 8th, 2012. great bit everybody

[thirtyskeletons]

stop it.

[rebeccathenaturalist]

Hey, US folks--if you haven't already heard, the federal government is taking public comments on whether to weaken the Endangered Species Act. In short, they want to redefine the definition of "harming" wildlife (not just animals but also plants and fungi, though no fungi have been listed yet) so that the destruction of wildlife habitat is no longer considered to be harm under the ESA.

As anyone who knows anything about ecology, wildlife biology, or just the way the natural world works knows, if you destroy a species' habitat, you harm that species. Period. The people who want this definition changed are corporations and other entities who want to use sensitive wildlife habitat for logging, mining, even golf courses. Meanwhile, endangered species that rely on these places as their last havens are much more likely to go extinct because they can't just "go somewhere else".

This isn't wishy-washy bleeding-heart stuff here. This is SCIENCE. Actual scientists who have dedicated their careers to studying wildlife and their habitats are the ones who have been pushing so hard for decades to protect and restore these lands, and to educate people on why habitat destruction is the single biggest cause of species endangerment and extinction.

Sunday, May 18, 2025, is the last day to leave a public comment. You can do so at https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/FWS-HQ-ES-2025-0034-0001. This doesn't have to be a long or involved comment; simply saying "I do not support changing the current definition of harm in the Endangered Species Act" is enough. It won't take long, but it will let those in charge know what we, the people, want. Thank you for taking the time for this.

(Please reblog, and thank you!)

english slang is awful i would hate to be learning this shit. like the word shit. something can be horseshit or bullshit which means it's a lie. but cow shit is just poop. and something can be dogshit which means it's really bad quality. but cat shit is just poop.

[beemovieerotica]

more notes: batshit means CRAAAZY. but rat shit is poop. if something is shit, it's bad, but if it's THE shit, it's good. eating shit is ew. but if someone just ate shit, they fell on the ground. no shit? = for real? yeah no shit = duh!!!

The gray kitten isn't dumb. They're learning. They made a mistake and stopped.

The orange kitten tho... they are not beating the stereotype.

Loud online discourse people concluding that zoos are all, every last one of them, evil & must be destroyed bc some zoos are bad for animals & some people very loudly want a kind of all-or-nothing binarism where entire classes of thing are good or evil is silly, but they've also done something with museums

Like when those artifacts were stolen from a Dutch museum earlier this year, and it sparked responses saying "Well, good! Now they can return those artifacts to their home country!". And someone involved had to explain, very gently, as if to a child, that the artifacts were on loan from their home country & that museums are not in fact just evil hoarders bogarting stolen artifacts for evil reasons. Like the home country was horrified that their artifacts were likely melted down for gold & lost forever

Also, like. They know if someone stole stuff from the British Museum they probably wouldn't be the "what if Tomb Raider stole back artifacts from museums?" fantasy people crave but like...thieves who would sell it or melt it down, right? Right

"why'd I have to do all these useless classes in school instead of learning how to do my taxes or balance my check book" well, see, literacy and mathematical problem solving are the things you need to do both those things, so...
