I don't think this is an appropriate response to an article about South Asian farmers losing their teeth because temperatures are now reaching 45 Celcius.

When the Heat Steals Your Smile

After I suspected a climate connection to tooth decay, I conducted systematic saliva pH testing across my patient population and documented

okay so i think i found the article op's (and me in my tags) talking about. being exposed to over 40 celsius (120 farenheit or so) for the whole day means youre sweating a LOT (the article says rashid- the farmer at the centre of the text- drinks around 17 liters a Day. humans usually only need 3, so i presume the rest is mostly used for sweat). so much so that the organizm reroutes water from other parts of itself to not die of heatstroke - salivary glands included, which means that 1. they have very little saliva in comparison to a healthy human being 2. what little their bodies DO produce is incredibly acidic, falling to ~5.5 ph from the ideal of 7ph. Teeth dissolve. Quickly. There's a mention of someone losing 8 teeth in two years

im not reading the whole article now (headache -_-), but later on the author of the article says about 30 million people (employed in agriculture) are at risk for extreme dental health problems. 30 million people at risk of not being able to eat solid food. 30 million people at risk of not being able to find work. being able to marry. being able to be part of their community. being able to speak clearly

this is. fucking horrible feels like an understatement, but it is the best i have. this exceptionally, terribly inhumane, and the pakistan goverment's lack of a plan to adress this is embarassing

I'm not reading whatever Americans and Europeans say in good faith because you people are dipshits who constantly think people in the Global South as lesser everyday

Shut the fuck up with you "let's all be niceys" fuck you in particular

[nyantara]

what are we grieving and upset about in particular? everyone in a climate lit class knows climate change is real, the point of climate literature is to turn that into art that will get read by other people. truthfully from that perspective it does in fact "fuck severely" to find an article about something visceral and visually cool happening when all you want to have is a cool dystopian premise and get the best grades :)

this kind of voyeurism is not autistic-coded or whatever, its the premise on which much of the art world functions re: other people's lives and the instrumentalising of it. there's awful genocide literature about the holocaust. this attitude just gets magnified and is more common when racism is there to dehumanize the subjects.

btw real life example of you call a bitch racist and suddenly they're autistic accusations.

This the report that JK Rowing doesn't want you to see. This report scares her so much that she is trying to destroy Amnesty International, a human rights organization, to stop you reading it:

Alejandra Caraballo (@esqueer.net)

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their fundin

(Amnesty already pulled the report because of JKR's threats. Of course that didn't and won't stop her - capitulating to fascists and bigots is never the answer. Alejandra captured the report and posted it, so you can read what JKR doesn't want you to know.)
