The comments on this are really making me understand there’s so many people who ignore how racism is native to the entire United States and not just the portion of it most directly impacted by the transatlantic slave trade

the north was mainly manufacturing cotton from southern plantations and turning it into workable textiles.

because they didn't "own" people, they get heralded as being morally superior. however, they were complicit by using materials unethically sourced and stayed quiet when the south abused and murdered millions of people.

the civil war was never about seeing Black people as worthy of autonomy and liberation. it was started because the south wanted to use them to bulk up voting numbers, and the north didn't want that.

both created harm. one through outward, personal violence and the other through their complicit silence.

sound familiar?

Not to sound like a decrepit, rambling corpse about it, but back in my day Word used to be a pre installed program that came with your computer, if you were running Windows.

No subscription. Just program.

On your computer. You got to use it forever and ever and never had to worry about it going away.

Because it was physically on your computer. As a program. That you actually owned. Not because you got it separately, but because it was a standard inclusion with your computer.

I'm sorry but I'll just never get over it. I remember when companies cared about their products being usable out of the box. I remember when our things belonged to us.

I'm rereading the Bitch Better Have My Money series by @duckyboos-blog on my e-reader, so I decided to design covers for them.

If you like hilariously unhinged shit in fanfic, go read the series!!!

actually hate that the bodys response to anything is nausea. ate too much? nauseous. ate too little? nauseous. an imaginary threat got you scared? be nauseous. on your period? you guessed it. sawed into your hand and need to go to the emergency room? perhaps throwing up into your open wound will be of help

hey gang,

if you are experiencing a symptom across all aspects of your physiology, I would like to inform you that it is not a normal reaction that should happen all the time and there may be deeper health concerns behind it.

there may be some gastrointestinal dysfunction or deficiencies happening, especially because we have a huge nervous system tied to our stomachs that are directly affected by the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems ("fight or flight "and "rest and digest" systems).

the gut nervous system is called the enteric nervous system (ENS) and i would ask that you look more into how its dysfunction manifests as symptoms.

take care and please be gentle with yourself <3

Also I am asking all of you, once again, to learn about ecosystem conservation and restoration instead of wallowing in "we are already past the point of no return" or that it will take "millennia" to restore ecosystems.

You have to understand that nature does not work in the same timeframe as ours. Protecting and restoring ecosystems is RIDICULOUSLY inexpensive and requires very little industrial technology; shovels and saplings are not exactly high-tech. But it takes time and long-term projects with people determined to do it. Maybe we are too focused in our "we want it now" thinking, but what you see today is not what you may see in 10, 20, 50, even 80 years if you live that long.

But it works. It's working right now, and when capitalism is replaced by socialism and we stop thinking on short-term gain, when our societies are focused into the common welfare instead of accumulation, it will even work better. Again I could point out to individual examples but instead, I encourage you to learn about ecology. We are well past from the catastrophic "Earth will die and there's nothing we can do" predictions from the 80s. We know what to do, we know it can work.

First-of-its-kind study definitively shows that conservation actions are effective at halting and reversing biodiversity loss

A new study published online today, April 25, in the scientific journal Science provides the strongest evidence to date that not only is nat

This article talks about this very much in the "see? ecology can help the economy too!" tone that unfortunately is sort of necessary to convince people in the current capitalist system. But I don't want you to focus on this right now.

I want you to KNOW how doable this is. How inexpensive this is, how POSSIBLE THIS IS. That people working and loving the land and nature they live in is possible. That these projects WORK, THEY DO restore and preserve ecosystems. That humanity is neither a plague that destroys everything or a passive bystander on its own destruction but that these are actual things that can be, are, and will be implemented, backed by actual science and results. This is not empty #hopecore #hopepunk feel good stuff, these are things you can learn about, even work towards, and you can most certainly demand they are part of our society.

Are you listening to me?

"I'm just losing hope." Then get some fucking conviction. Millions of people around the globe are working their asses off and seeing results. What they are doing IS WORKING.

This orange peel story was huge years ago: https://www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/episode/a-fruitful-experiment-in-land-conservation/

Beavers reintroduced to historic wetlands improve them at such a level that we can see the improvements from space: https://news.mongabay.com/2023/09/nasa-satellites-reveal-restoration-power-of-beavers/

Africa is successfully slowing desertification and restoring historic farming soil with their Green Wall project: https://welcomeafrica.org/en/africa-combats-desertification-with-a-belt-of-life/

There has even been success at regrowing coral reefs--something which I am old enough to be told was impossible. But people have been hard at work for decades since then, and this is one of the results: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/03/240308123248.htm

REPAIRING THE DAMAGE IS ENTIRELY WITHIN THE REALM OF POSSIBILITY.

THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE IF YOU HAVE THE CONVICTION TO BACK IT UP.

small town news

so, my town has 6.5k people in it. the town has been delinquent in payment to the county's emergency services during peak wildfire season. hundreds of thousands of dollars, all while the police station gets a budget increase.

there is no ER or hospital here. there is only 1 certified paramedic within town limits and only 4 volunteer firefighters who live in district.

fire insurance premiums have skyrocketed for businesses and home fire insurance is getting revoked due to the risk of wildfires.

on top of that, most people who work in town are either in crippled small businesses or working at the corporations that own this town.

if they pull out, we won't have access to food because this town's 400+ acres of farmable land is incorporated under a ranch known for corruption.

there's supposed to be a town hall this week to discuss "policies", but the public aren't allowed to attend while a bunch of corrupt people decide their fates without them and getting paid to do so.

local government is a direct reflection of what's happening on a national scale.

it's in your backyard before it is ever in the oval office.
