i will give tiktok one concession and that is that it has spawned a comment that contains a phrase that i think of often at relevant moments: pack it up boys we've made a social blunder

is anyone else reading "pack it up boys we've made a social blunder" in the voice of the lead penguin guy from Madagascar

"oh, I live in a desert and-"

"wow that must be so terrible" "deserts are so ugly" "I would never want to live in a wasteland like that" "it's just empty nothingness"

behold New Mexico

this post and all its wonderful additions (look in the notes) is circulating again. these photos and many of the ones added in the notes come from the US Southwest.

right now the trump administration is attacking the public lands in the Southwestern US. most recently (July 2026), in Utah the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments have been cut by over 90% to allow for mining. these lands are sacred to multiple Native nations in the area and contain irreplaceable archeological sites. additionally, the commission of Native representatives who aided in management of these lands has been dissolved leaving Native people without a voice in caring for the remaining land. (read more here)

here in New Mexico, the 10 mile buffer zone surrounding Chaco Canyon preventing oil and gas drilling is under attack. Chaco Canyon contains incredibly old and incredibly fragile archeological sites sacred to Pueblo people. these sites are threatened by mining and drilling. (read more here)

The attack on the Chaco buffer zone is currently in a public comment period open until July 29. PLEASE leave a public comment to save these irreplaceable places.

two of my trans friends from the US who applied for and got refugee status in canada have informational PDFs they wanted me to share for anyone interested in applying for refugee status as well, since there's been a lot of misinformation around online suggesting it's an impossibility. it's not effortless and they've had to work with a lawyer, but 245 people from the US successfully got refugee status last year, which was an increase from the year before.

i can put ppl in contact with said refugee friends and or answer questions through them to the best of my ability, but the basics they wanted me to pass around are the claims process flowchart and the refugee claim orientation guide. (please let me know if either link isnt functioning) and the general info that you're more likely to get approved working with a lawyer in your province of choice and slowly building a case than doing an at border crossing application.

we seriously need to stop conceding to the personhood trap when it comes to abortion rights. is a fetus a person? thats a spiritual question. i dont care about the answer. should another person dictate what someone can do with their body? simple answer: no.

[petewentzisblack1312]

like if a fetus isnt a person it has no right to my body and if a fetus IS a peson it also has no right to my body because there is no other context in which we are required to put ourselves at risk of physical harm to preserve another persons safety or even life.

you dont have to save someone from drowning even if youre a strong swimmer. even in death youre not required to donate organs and that could save several people. you can kill someone if you truly believe your safety is at risk. we dont mandate preservation of life over autonomy in any of these circumstances.

Heads up for researchers using AI to search museum, archive, and library databases:

My work has been receiving requests for records that don't exist. We have also been testing AI to see how it responds to certain requests and it not only creates historical documents that don't exist, but also seems to think that database numbers are interchangeable.

If you are using AI to "help" you do basic research, it's giving you false info and making your work harder than if you just used the search function yourself.

Also, we (the staff who manage these things) know that you're using AI, and it makes you look stupid and lazy.

This comment was left on a post about making the most of the Libby app. "Excessive use of generous lending policies" is the most absurd phrase I've ever seen anyone use to discuss libraries.

It's called the Global Justice Report, it is here. This is an actionable plan which can be sent to legislators and demanded of political parties. We could save the world within our lifetimes.

It has always been possible. It is still possible.

You actually cannot skip to being good at a creative endeavour that you haven't put much practice into. You cannot trick your way out of the 'knows that your work is not what you want it to be but don't know how to improve it' stage by planning or reading or talking about it really really hard. At some point you just have to craft through it until your brain finds it's own unique way back to the 'everything I make slaps' stage and be prepared to start the cycle all over again. You just have to make that project you're excited about slightly less good than you want it to be. (Says this standing in a pool of blood and covered in blood and also coughing up a little blood)
