Something dreadfully homosexual

urban greenery and urban forests are important af.

they prevent flooding, as pictured in the image above, by allowing stormwater to soak into the ground instead of pooling and flooding.

they significantly lower temperatures and reduce the heat island effect, something we will need more and more as the climate gets hotter, by providing shade and releasing water vapour (tree sweat.) this also helps reduces the energy use from air conditioning, saves lives, and improves quality of life.

a lot of wealthier neighbourhoods have more greenery than underserved poorer neighbourhoods and those in poorer neighbourhoods are less likely to have air conditioning which causes more deaths, and reduces human health in general. so it is also an inequality issue.

vegetation absorbs pollutants and improves air quality. forests are carbon sinks that pull planet heating chemicals out of the atmosphere and store them in the soil. forests are vital in the fight against climate change.

native tree species provide shelter and food for wildlife and planting native gardens and allowing native wild greenspaces is vital for pollinators which are vital for everything else alive.

spending time outdoors boosts mental health. urban farms produce nutritious food. outdoor greenspaces give people places to be active and shade produced by trees make it easier (and more fun) to walk places. its better for human health in nearly every way.

more greenery has even been shown to reduce crime.

and for all the spreadsheet-money-brained people out there: its good for the economy too. according to a recent study, for every dollar put into parks and recreation and greenspaces, cities reap $3 in local economic benefits as they attract locals and tourists into surrounding neighbourhoods to shop or eat.

basically, there is no good fucking reason not to plant more trees, grow more gardens, and allow more natural green spaces.

Spotify Premium ad: “Imagine playing music without interruptions! Infinite skipping! Replay the song you want! And even do it offline? No ads! Whatever songs you want! For a small monthly payme-” Me: *nods, turns off Spotify and turns on my MP3 player and does all the things they offer, but for free and with songs they don’t even have*

For those of you who might not know how to do any of this:

To convert CD audio into mp3s, you just follow the steps here

To play mp3 files, you download an mp3 player like Winamp here and away you go

On mobile? There are plenty of free mp3 players for your phone available, too, so check them out

You don’t need to be tethered to an online streaming service for your music. Be free.

You can also rip audio files from youtube and find files all over the internet. It is far easier to come across great and lesser known music if you dont limit yourself to spotify.

I ended up having a really interesting conversation with some people at the bus stop today. They were getting out of some sort of ‘clean and sober’ meeting and had starting saying how they were so bored because they didn’t have anything to do, and had to stay at home because all their old friends would pull them back. So I said something like, ‘So this is the time to do all the stuff your parents told you they didn’t have money/time for!’ “Whatcha mean?” “You know, like when you were five and you REALLY wanted to have that toy or do that thing and you were like, ‘Please mom please I gotta have this I gotta go do this’ and they went ‘Hell no you think I’m paying for that do you want to goddamn EAT?’ “ And this light went on in their eyes. The lady is going to go check thrift stores for an Easybake Oven and I told her about Wilton cake decorating classes. The dude is going to Griffith Park and ride horses, because, ‘I always wanted to be a cowboy, and you can’t drink when you’re on a horse ‘cause you’ll fucking die!’ Fuck it. This is what being an adult is. Sure it’s bills and work and relationships, but damn it, it’s also time to do the things you LIKE. I signed up for a free class/lecture on Water Gardens. I’m going. It’s time.

Jill. Jill you are wonderful.

no joke, this is such an important aspect of overcoming trauma. I mean the trauma of abusive parents, the trauma of broke ass parents who got toxic because of it, the trauma of capitalism. Like fuck it. Go to Wrestlemania. Build a shit ton of terrariums.

seeing a video of a national park makes me so genuinely ANGRY over what our world has become. We used to be so beautiful. What happened to us?

We can nourish new trees with the blood and bodies of all who have wronged us.

THESE MAY BE MY LAST WORDS ABOUT MY BABY QAIS.

This could be the last time I write anything while my child is still alive, and I will never forgive anyone who sees this and scrolls past without caring or even sharing.

I thought I needed a new laptop but nope, youtube is slowing down your PC if you have adblock on on any open tab...

astraltrickster

To be very clear about this: CPUs aren't magical devices that can operate forever. They generate heat. They wear out over time. This happens faster when they're operating near capacity. This is not just an attempt to inconvenience you; this is an attempt to damage your property.

For the "crime" of not wanting to be tracked/have ads pissed into your eyeballs 24/7.

Even if you've paid for the "privilege" of the latter.

Fuck Google, and I hope they get sued into oblivion over this.

i see everyone in the notes talking about newpipe but nobody's talking about youtube alternatives for desktop

IF YOU USE A DESKTOP PC OR LAPTOP, TRY INVIDIOUS

https://invidious.io/

it is a free, open-source alternative YouTube front-end. in addition to not having ads, it has other great QoL features like a download button. try one of the several instances on that link up there ^^^^

”Punch a racist” Until it’s not as obvious as shouting slurs at people.

“Kill a Nazi” Until it’s your neighbour.

Seriously, it feels like you people say those only to virtue-signal. Seeing people say how much they hate racism but not even bothering to help us when we face it says a thousand words.

I get it if you don’t have the money to donate to our campaigns and charities.. but not even a few kind words? Nothing?

You are just as bad as those racists.
