guy who jerks off to anime girls from korean gacha games: those fucking wokealizers changed the valentines event line from "i love you, selfinsert-kun" to "i like you, selfinsert-kun". (((they))) literally can't stop trying to push their cuck agenda onto you

gal who jerks off to the spy from team fortress 2: lol i'm such a freaaaak haha. unlike those moids with their boring generic hear me outs mine are stuff like slightly abnormal hollywood actors or buff and menacing humanoid monsters

guy who jerks off to diagrams of planes: actually it's pretty normal, you know. plenty of people do it

changing architecture is an underrated tactic against climate change and general side effects of human expansion, here are some ideas i collected to modify our towns to be more wildlife and climate friendly,

not just gardens on rooftops but things like putting solar panels on buildings instead of on new land, bee/bird baths in local parks and gardens, not building over old growth forests or historical breeding grounds, using sustainable and recycled materials like these:

installing low flow and energy efficient appliances, solar panels over parking lots to create shade and maximize space efficiency (yes car dependency is awful and massive parking lots shouldnt exist, but this can apply to smaller ones still and car dependency is a wide issue in NA which wont be fixed overnight and this is an idea in the meantime)

incorporating native species of grass, bushes, flowers and trees in landscaping for buildings, local parks and gardens, adding under/over passes to places with lots of roads for animals or even green bridges,

building techniques that create energy efficiency, things like good insulation and changing orientation for the most natural heating and light (https://fontanarchitecture.com/sustainable-house-design-21-ideas/ this article goes into it better than i can since im not an architect or engineer)

planting lots of trees around streets and sidewalks to reduce the urban heat effect, using long lasting materials in buildings, making recycle/green bin sheds to stop wildlife foraging through trash for food,

green corridors in cities (short from Sam Bentleys amazing channel, on how its being used in colombia: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/nNzndT_yKzs) use less glass/reflective materials on buildings to reduce bird collisions, or putting patterns/ external screens on these surfaces, at home you can add stickers on your windows or use frosted/one way glass, reducing artificial nighttime lights for local insects, only using light when/where needed and using dim, warm lighting and energy efficient lights like LEDs,

i understand some of these are very costly like using recycled materials and they may be hard to implement broadly, but hopefully ideas like these get considered and implemented more in cities and towns for the benefits to both humans and animals

are people talking about the labor conditions at Taylor Farms yet? like the fact they use enslaved prisoners in their facilities?

are we drawing the connection between worker safety and consumer safety & public health yet?

are people demanding to see the conditions in this place that keeps making us sick? why are the enslaved workers not having the time to use the bathroom or to rest when ill? very few people would shit in front of their coworkers given any choice at all.

On the prisoners point:

Prisoners in the U.S. are part of a hidden workforce linked to hundreds of popular food brands

In a sweeping two-year investigation, The Associated Press found goods linked to prisoners wind up in the supply chains of everything from F

people in color by vivian maier, 1960s-70s.

[vaguedisapproval]

for those unaware of the situation, an indian engineer, activist, innovator, education reformer, and environment activist who refused to patent his inventions, so that people could use them freely, and built a free school for underpriviliged kids, went on a hunger strike to demand accountability from the indian government for the massive amount of exam paper leaks that have occurred during this current government's rule. his name is sonam wangchuk, and today, on the 20th day of his hunger strike, he was forcefully apprehended by the delhi police, and taken into custody. so far, we have no idea where they've taken him, and during his apprehending, a large group of men forced their way onto the dais he was lying down on(because he's no longer capable of even sitting up in his current state), and held up screens to prevent people from even seeing or recording what they were doing to him behind them.

as a result of the latest paper leak-which was a medical entrance exam-20+ kids committed suicide. this man saw their plight, and decided to use a form of peaceful protest, that indian freedom fighters used, to fight against colonial rule. it's something that has barely gotten any media coverage, as most news channels and newspapers are tightly controlled by the government. there were plans to conduct a peaceful walk to the parliament, and before that could proceed, the police-armed in tactical gear-kidnapped a frail old man, who can't even stand without assistance. this is plain and simple fascism, please talk about it on your various social media platforms to put some pressure on the indian government for the immediate release of this man.

update on this post: we now know he's being kept at safdarjung hospital, and has not been allowed to leave, or have access to his phone or the internet. they have essentially arrested him for practicing his right to peaceful protest. a colleague of mine who works at safdarjung, has not been able to meet him or check on his condition.

over the last seven years, more than 70 national exam papers have leaked, gutting the futures of 37 million students who dedicate every minute of every day to prepare for a sole shot at their future. look at this year's medical entrance exam: over 2.4 million students(mostly late teens) give up their entire high school years (which shouldn't be the norm btw) to prepare for a test that happens only once a year, only for it to be leaked by someone within the very agency conducting it. Because of the agonizing pressure and the forced retakes, more than 20 precious lives were slaughtered by this system. yet, the prime minister has no time to take a knee and acknowledge this, tho he has a shit ton of time to make memes and target minority communities (but I won’t say it here because that requires a whole post of its own). meanwhile, the education minister stubbornly refuses to own up to his painful incompetence and resign.

today, when these people took to the streets to exercise their fundamental constitutional right to protest, they stood there holding literal flowers because it was a peaceful protest, and no one wanted to cause any kind of harm, yet the authorities who swore to protect them treated them like terrorists. the police beat them brutally with sticks, fired tear gas, broke bones, cracked skulls, and arrested actual children (who have more love for the nation than any of the people in the parliament smh)

🐋🌊💪 Humpback whale sightings are surging in Rio de Janeiro as the species recovers from whaling! Thanks to a monumental 1982 ban on commercial whale hunting on all whale species, the humpback whale population has risen from 2,000 to 35,000 in just 40 years, close to their population before whaling. This resurgence has led to the whales becoming increasingly spotted along their annual migration routes, with thousands of humpback whales migrating through Brazilian waters, including some of the southern Atlantic Ocean’s most biodiverse marine ecosystems!

Sightings of humpback whales surge in Rio de Janeiro, fueling demand for whale-watching trips

Humpback whales are increasingly spotted off Rio de Janeiro as their population recovers from past commercial whaling.

While American Jews are slightly more likely to see criticism or protest of Israel as antisemitic than the rest of the population, we are also significantly more likely to say those are *not* antisemitic, by large majorities.

When AIPAC or Dem Majority for Israel or any of their shell groups try to act as if criticism of Israel is antisemitic, just know that:

70% of American Jews do not think criticism of Israel is antisemitic, while only 20% do.

68% of American Jews do not think criticism of the IDF is antisemitic, while only 25% do.

49% of American Jews do not think protesting events that tangentially support Israel is antisemitic, while only 38% do.

AIPAC speaks for a minority of conservative Jews (who are only around 15-20% of the American Jewish population) and powerful billionaire donors, a good number of whom aren't even Jewish. It is time once and for all to end this vile lie that Israel=Jew and that all or even a majority of Jews support the apartied and genocide of the modern Israel occupation.

Guys, everything feels so hard right now.

Life in Gaza is really tough. We are living in very difficult conditions, and every day feels like a struggle just to get through it.

My father is still very sick, and seeing him like this is breaking me. I wish I could do more for him, but I can’t.

I’m trying to stay strong for my family, but honestly I feel lost and tired.

Please, don’t leave us alone. Donate and share our story… it might help save my dad.

📌📌Fundraiser vetted (#167 by el-shab-hussein & nabulsi), But we created a new GoFundMe page because GoFundMe suspended the beneficiary’s account on the platform, which put us in a very difficult situation.
