so obsessed with the film noir (fin) album by faouzia right now, she's insane

my favorite mashup emoji is this one and i wish it was real so bad

there should be an emoji that’s a person with their hands behind their back silently observing a situation

must feel so good to be soil absorbing rain

The (European) sun is a deadly laser, stay safe everyone

[unfuckablebogtroll]

☝️🤓 it’s because the further you move toward the earth’s poles, the lower the angle of the sun is at the hottest parts of the day, meaning the radiation hits your whole body, causing it to feel 10-20 degrees warmer than the thermometer reading will tell you. People from tropical climes, aka close to the equator, are used to the sun’s radiation hitting a much smaller target- their head and shoulders.

Also the further you move toward the poles the more pronounced the difference between the length of day and night is. Worst part of a far-north (or south) heatwave is it doesn’t get dark long enough for meaningful cooling.

It’s not the heat. It very literally is the sun.

the climate grief is hitting so hard this week. like. i don't know how people manage to just live through this heat wave without constantly being reminded of The Implications. people are dying right in this moment and there's still so many who act like fighting climate change isn't the priority rn. like sometimes i wish i could be that delusional

[shinraalpha]

i do think lobbying for data centres over climate goals should be considered a crime against humanity btw

[dykesville]

[Image ID: A screenshot of a Politico article titled, “Europe must choose between AI and climate goals, data center lobby says”. The tagline reads, “Tech sector says only carbon-emitting gas plants are reliable enough today to power the EU’s AI goals.” End ID.]

Come to think of it, it really is insane that my entire country is burning alive and literally no one in the rest of the world cares. Thousands of Indians are dying every day from the heat, it's 45+ degrees in multiple areas, the government couldn't give two fucks, we're getting severe warnings and red alerts, and not a soul outside of South Asia is speaking about it because why would you ever care about brown people

[ninanation]

please keep talking about how Becky from Maryland doesn't like the rising gas prices. It's clearly the more pressing issue.

USA folks, that is a consistent temperature range hitting 113°. Death Valley temperatures. In Banda, it hovered between 116°-118° (47°-48° C) for a week straight.

This has been happening all month with little to no international media attention. Here are a few organizations you can check out for resources or to support:

ActionAid India

SEEDS India

GlobalGiving <- No longer taking donations

Raise India (Project Tapan)

it takes 10 layers of the water filter to completely drown a tumblr screenshot if anyone was wondering

I mean, I guess there's always the inherent eroticism of the sea

is anyone else annoyed that "ai" encompasses both chatgpt and tools we train to do repetitive tedious work for us. and by the ripple effect of articles like "scientists develop ai to detect cancer early" that make people argue for the merit of chatgpt or become anti-medicine. and by the general state of the world and society
