the problem with employment is it gives you money to purchase video games but it takes away your time to play video games. Mao spoke of this

Two little girls playing gently with a daddy long legs.

Girl 1: can it die?

Girl 2, in a calm happy even tone: of course. Like all living things it can and must die.

And don’t even get me started on mandatory arrest laws.

No actually I’m gonna start

If police HAVE to arrest the “primary aggressor” in domestic violence situations, the following trends take place:

Police arrest the person with the less visible injuries. Given the prevalence of strangulation in intimate partner violence, especially heterosexual, and the fact that ~80% of strangulations leave no marks, while defensively clawing at your attacker does…

^ Incidentally, if you do have a fight between family or household members that’s not abuse (it does happen!) this tends to punish the winner

Police arrest the more annoying person. The “hysterical” person and yes I’ve seen that word used in police reports. The thing is: after being violently attacked victims generally can’t calmly interact with the police. The perpetrator sometimes can.

Victims who are not ready to leave for WHATEVER REASON, and I will never judge what that reason is, will get frantic because one of the main income contributors is in jail and he’s gonna blame THEM for it when he gets out unless they do all they can to help. Sometimes even if they do all they can.

The perpetrator won’t be in jail forever and may not even be in jail longer than a couple days, so even in scenarios where this would benefit someone, the benefits are under a ticking clock. That’s not enough time to do anything to make themselves safe, because —

Arresting the “primary aggressor” is now the end of the case and of police involvement and no further assistance is offered (in many many places).

Putting the abuser through the court system causes serious financial and emotional stress,

That they take out on their victim.

This system can’t be fixed with patches and add-ons. It does the wrong stuff for abusive situations from minute one, and the only reason it benefits victims is 1) accidentally or 2) because a handful of participants in the system worked especially hard swimming against the prevailing current to make it do that in an individual case.

So I was scrolling and saw this image in an article about the European heat wave,

And was like, uh, are you missing something there, buddy? Like all that red in northern Africa? Because that's a lot of red.

And I was going to give them the benefit of doubt, since I don't know much about the climate in Northern Africa, aside from Morroco and Egypt, which seem like really hot places, so you know, maybe it's normal there?

But nope, that's not the case:

‘Hot Continent’ Perception Downplays Africa's Heat Wave Dangers

Africa is struggling with heat waves and many countries on the continent lack the resources rich economies have to deal with rising temperat

Some selections from the article:

"The region has been experiencing some of the most intense heat waves in recent years, but in many cases they’ve been under-reported due to misconceptions about Africans’ ability to withstand them.

“Africa is seen as a sunny and hot continent,” said Amadou Thierno Gaye, a research scientist and professor at Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar, the capital of Senegal. “People think we are used to heat, but we are having high temperatures for a longer duration. Nobody is used to this.”

"The Sahel, for instance, has been heating at a faster pace than the global average despite being hot already. Burkina Faso and Mali, both in West Africa’s Sahel, are among countries that are set to become almost uninhabitable by 2080, if the world continues on its current trajectory, a UK university study found. Its people are especially vulnerable due to shrinking resources, such as water, and poor amenities, and a dearth of trees and parks means there are few options for places to cool off."
