Here’s a simple rose colored using only the colors of the MLM Flag.

First time I’ve draw a flower in a while, so I know its not the best. I might go back and clean it up more later.

Also its transparent.

Saddest thing ever is reading an academic paper about a threatened or declining species where you can tell the author is really trying to come up with ways the animal could hypothetically be useful to humans in a desperate attempt to get someone to care. Nobody gives a shit about the animals that “don’t affect” us and it seriously breaks my heart

[great-and-small]

“No I can’t come out tonight I’m sobbing about this entomologist’s heartfelt plea for someone to care about an endangered moth”

[bogleech]

This is how I learn there's a moth whose tiny caterpillars live exclusively off the old shells of dead tortoises.

[thepastisaroadmap]

[Image description: text from a section titled On Being Endangered: An Afterthought that says:

Realizing that a species is imperiled has broad connotations, given that it tells us something about the plight of nature itself. It reminds us of the need to implement conservation measures and to protect the region of which the species is a part. But aside form the broader picture, species have intrinsic worth and are deserving of preservation. Surely an oddity such as C. vicinella cannot simply be allowed to vanish.

We should speak up on behalf of this little moth, not only because by so doing we would bolster conservation efforts now underway in Florida, [highlighting begins] but because we would be calling attention to the existence of a species that is so infinitely worth knowing. [end highlighting]

But is quaintness all that can be said on behalf of this moth? Does this insect not have hidden value beyond its overt appeal? Does not its silk and glue add, potentially, to its worth? Could these products not be unique in ways that could ultimately prove applicable?

[rackiera]

I was so inspired by this I made it into a piece of art for a final in one of my courses for storytelling in conservation

[mossworm]

I used to work for two of the authors, Mark and Nancy Deyrup. They are true naturalists, interested in everything that lives, and wonderful human beings. They still live in central Florida where the tortoise shell moth lives, and have dedicated their whole lives to documenting the Florida scrub ecosystem and educating the public. I don't know if their names reach outside of entomology, but they are beloved figures here.

[sentimentalslut]

man the public defender discourse pisses me off so bad. yeah. yeah I do think that every single person deserves representation. yeah that includes people who *have* committed rape and murder and abuse. when I say every single person I mean every single person. if your idea of justice excludes one person it excludes everyone. next question

[sentimentalslut]

“so you’re saying you’d represent someone who has admitted to sexual assault?” i’m saying I have.

“so you’re saying you’d represent someone who has admitted to domestic violence?” i’m saying i have.

"so you’re saying you’d represent someone who has admitted to child abuse?" i'm saying i have.

and i am saying i have given each and every one of those clients the same level of professionalism, effort, and zealous advocacy i have given my clients who are victims of the same. that is how due process works, and every person is guaranteed it.

i have nothing but respect and admiration for my colleagues in the public interest sector who represent those who have committed and/or been accused any and all crimes, no matter how "morally reprehensible" others may find them.

public defenders are among the best, brightest, and most selfless attorneys out there. they are on the front lines of combating the carceral state and protecting the rights of every day people. get it straight in your heads. thanks.

[brainscrems]

Being a public defender is one of the most essential and under-recognized jobs someone can do to help maintain our democracy. Fuck absolutely anyone and everyone who goes after them. If you’re against public defenders you are fighting for fascism. There’s nothing more to say on the matter.

[porcupine-girl]

Pretty much anytime people are trying to smear an ex-lawyer politician by saying "they represented murderers/pedophiles/whatever," what they really mean is "they were a public defender and made sure the system treated everyone fairly, which is the only way a judicial system can ever actually dispense justice." Sounds like someone we need more of in government.

[impulsivelycontentious]

Depriving the guilty of the best representation they can have is depriving the innocent of that, too, because THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF THE TRIAL and we're not assuming people are guilty. Even people who confessed, no, because sometimes people give false confessions.

Ir doesn't matter, the justice system is adversarial and we shouldn't presume guilt.

[uncahier]

You could be falsely accused of a terrible crime. Would you not want robust legal representation? Even if you didn’t have the means to pay for a lawyer yourself?

[delicatefury]

Once more, courts don’t stop at the district level. There’s the two levels of appellate courts above them. And the federal Supreme Court if it ends up being a constitutional issue. Cases don’t always end at the guilty verdict.

The most common appeal is “ineffective assistance of counsel” (IAOC). IAOC is when your attorney did such a bad job defending you that your trial was constitutionally unfair. See Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668 (1984).

If a defendant wins an IAOC appeal, they get a new trial.

Usually, though, they still have to prove that they might have been found not-guilty if their attorney hadn’t screwed up (in legal speak, we say the attorney created prejudice against their own client). However, if the attorney screws up badly enough, it doesn’t matter how obvious the guilt is, they still get a new trial.

And now you’ve got an even longer time since the original crime and witnesses who might not want to testify again or are unavailable for other reasons or are dead. It is harder to prove guilt at a second trial because of that and the new defense attorney now knows all the weaknesses of the state’s case and can exploit them.

Do you know what prevents successful IAOC claims? Good public defenders.

anytime a woman starts talking about the "bonds of sisterhood that inherently exist between all women" you just know they bullied the weird girls in high school

[poolsidescientist]

[emeraldmercury]

The tags are saying another red flag is constantly talking about “pick me girls” and YES thank you for that addition.

[smartbeautifulliar]

Those are exactly the vibes that the 2020 Rubi gave me - talking about feminism and girlpower while putting other women down. That would've been a great trait for a modern Rubi,but the writers seemed to take her side way too often.

[susanoos-wife]

Any woman who talks about some magical sisterhood that supposedly exists among women always has the most rancid personality.
