longing • noun
a strong desire especially for something unattainable
The main issue I see with relying on personal responsibility for environmentalism is that people are incredibly bad at judging what is good/bad for the environment, and will just decide based on what feels right. Which is understandable, because that's not something you can just tell. Common sense will often be wrong, and it takes lots of really good education to help people understand what we know, scientifically, to be true about the topic, and at that point you might as well put that effort into systemic solutions.
I remember when I was a kid, there was discourse about what uses less water: bathing or showering, and I got completely different answers from different adults that, in hindsight, probably had mostly to do with whether whoever I asked happened to prefer bathing or showering.
Every day I see people make claims about what is or isn't good for the environment with the confidence of someone who's 100% sure what they're saying is correct, and more often than not they're just parroting something they heard & integrated into their belief system without any evidence to back it up.
It's so much worse than that. There are entire industry lobbies that intentionally manipulate the public opinion in their favor/to downplay the environmental damage of their products.
Lobbyists representing industry responsible for a quarter to a third of global emissions participated in key talks at the UN climate summit
These powerful lobbies are investing a lot of money in making sure most people never realize how much harm they're actually doing, and essentially dooming the planet by doing so, to preserve their massive profits.

unrepentant tiktokers who haven't thought critically since 2019 will hear a criticism of tiktok and be like "how are you gonna hate a whole app 😂😂💯🤡" I do hate tiktok. yes all of it. I don't care about whether the content is good or bad, I hate the fundamental function of that app which is to get you addicted to the zero-effort dopamine hit you get from consuming shortform content algorithmically tailored to you, erode your attention span, and promote consumerism. this is true regardless of whether or not you "found your community" on tiktok or use it as an escape or a coping mechanism. this does not add nuance to the discussion the way you think it does. i do not care and i am not obligated to care and I hope that app one day gets class action lawsuited into oblivion
I also hate its discriminatory over-censorship. We have kids saying dumb shit like unalived, graped, sewer slide, and PDF file instead of discussing heavy topics like adults. Tiktok censors people who say anything negative about China, but leave millions of antisemitic and racist comments to fester.
Fuck tiktok.
Tiktok also censors Iranian activists while promoting islamic regime apologists and it’s hilarious how people think the Iran news they get from tiktok is true
"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.
"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"
"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."
"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."
"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.
"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."
"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."
"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.
"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.
"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."
"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."
"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."
Last year I finally had an excuse to illustrate this simple little Tumblr story I've had bookmarked forever for class.

I think really at the end of the day the appeal of xander harris is the fact that he is the only man in the buffyverse who we see canonically happily follow a trail of candy bars to a knife wielding clown before being forced to punch it in the face yelling YOUR BALLOON ANIMALS SUCKED. That more than anything is what needs to be his legacy. That’s the level of critical thinking skills we’re working with here
Key to me also is the fact that this incident happened to him in s1 and would have still also felt plausible in s7. he would follow the candy trail the second time because surely it wouldn’t happen TWICE and then there’d be something worse than a clown. That’s the kind of shit that happens to xander
oh i’m sorry would you rather me beat an alive horse?
A few years ago, I was explaining to some non-Jewish friends why there are kosher rules specifically for milk. Not milk products, but just "milk".
"But it's just milk from a cow? Why would that be unkosher?" they asked.
"Well, it's simple but really disgusting. You see, the reason that kosher milk standards explicitly state that there needs to be a Jew present for every step of the process--from milking the cow to drinking the milk, ideally--is because of contamination fears."
"What kind of contamination fears?"
"The kind where Medieval Christians would milk pigs and try to sneak the sow's milk into cow's milk, just out of Jew-hating spite."
"..."
"Yeah. People would go to the trouble of milking a pig and wait for their chance to try to pour that milk into a bucket of cow's milk, just because they hated Jews so much that they wanted us to accidentally break kosher rules. So the kosher rules evolved because of that sort of environment of active spite."
In the last year, pretty much everyone who was involved in that conversation and who hasn't hopped onto the Jew-hating bandwagon themselves has admitted to me that at the time, they didn't believe it, not fully, and now they do.
Because, being blunt, that environment of active spite is in the process of returning after a seventy year absence.
So much of kashrut makes so much more load bearing sense when you consider a community having to survive but being unable to trust the authorities who process their food. If this didn't keep people alive over generations, it would've died out by now.
It's worth thinking about if we lose any of our safeguards over our food supply.
How is it hard to believe, when every vegetarian has a story about people trying to sneak meat?
With the FDA being what it is now (going down the toilet), I believe that we'll see a resurgence of food borne illnesses. We've already seen botulism in baby food, ffs. And since Jews follow incredibly strict laws, we're less likely to be affected. Not totally free, because we're obviously going to be affected by things like E. coli or Salmonella on produce. But we won't be affected by tainted meat and dairy as much.
And I think, unfortunately, this will further antisemitism. "Why aren't the Jews sick? They must be contaminating our food!"
Alberta, Canada, has already tried to pass a law banning halal and kosher school lunches. (So they're putting pork into all school lunches? I don't understand how they thought this would work.) It won't be long until someone tries to do that in the US, too.
Literally on the second to last paragraph, the black death was less (relatively) devastating to Jewish communities than christians because per their own laws, Jews had stricter standards of hygiene and bathed much more regularly
So naturally christians concluded it must be the Jews who called down the black death because what other reason could there be for them dying to it slightly less
When I see posts like this, I think it's important to say that we do not have good evidence that Jews died at lower rates of plague than Christians in the middle ages, and we know that Muslims had virtually identical hygene practices to Jews, and Muslim terretories were very hard hit by the plague.
Medieval Christians did not need Jews to be actually dying at lower rates of the plague to claim we were, and kill us over it. This is important to understand. Bigotry does not need evidence.
@short-wooloo blocked me when I sent this info over message, probably because they thought "who tf is this person?", an understandable reaponse. If I made them uncomfortable I would like to appologise, and will of course not persue any further contact.
