so PETA did a “leather is bad and evil” psa thing where humans and animals swap places

Pleather pollution…kills many species of birds. Especially the ones in your ad

You guys kill animals to keep yourselves in business

So do you and green peace have issues given how pleather is pollution

Hitler made human leather after hearing about US slave owners making it. PETA why are you doing this aside from piles of cash

So you want the rest of the animal to rot? Also most peacock feathers you see on fancy hats and in some consignment shoppes were shed and found on the ground NEAR a peacock during shedding season.

You seriously think a tropical bird that can make itself a black oval with a turquoise stripe and dance like nuts to attract a lover would NEED to wear Ed Gien style crap?

May I remind you that pleather causes pollution

not showing the ad I saw a reaction to it btw

You can look it up at your own discretion

#Cw implied gore #peta bullshit #This is why I like tangy from ACNH she was created in a lab from orange and cat DNA and has a clock that requires 10 oranges #Environmental stuff #I’m ok with vegan food I like PB and J I like fried tofu with Choula I like coconut milk Ice cream #I just don’t like PETA #Anti peta #Also the ad has stuff made with human intestines so gore warning if you look that up

Hey guys! When I initially found out about community’s I rolled my eyes. And figured it would be another discord-esque way of excluding others in a fandom. But since it’s new and we’re testing it all out. Would people be interested if I made one? It would be a weekly newsletter I post on. From avatar theories, updates, coffee recipes, my current hyperfixations, we can share our ocs, world building ideas and more. I would see as miscellaneous and a way to share more than just avatar. (I’m aware I could make a new side blog. But I’m asking if community’s is more desirable) please let me know.🪼💙🩵🐋🌱

Hi. Public Service Announcement for those of you who drive.

If you spill a puddle of gas on the ground while you are refueling your vehicle:

DO:

Let the store attendant know so we can have it cleaned up, or so that we can call the fire department if it's an especially large spill (2 gallons or more).

Seriously, we're not going to be mad at you. It happens all the time.

Do NOT:

Drive away without telling anyone.

Seriously.

You can start a fire that way, not to mention how toxic gasoline is to the environment if it gets washed away into the water drainage.

Thank you, and drive safely!

I was going to append this to my last reblog but I think it deserves to be said on its own:

While one of the core anti-lawn arguments I've seen is an aesthetic one (isn't native more pretty than turf) I need people to realize that environmental aesthetics are not objective properties formed in a vacuum

Environmental beauty is something that is deeply cultural, and part of the reason for the ubiquity of lawns is a deeply engrained cultural belief (in the US, at least) that a well managed lawn with very well defined flower beds and shrubbery is pretty. That mapping this frankly unnatural aesthetic paradigm onto the land we exist on is pretty, and attempts to preserve or mimic the natural environment are not.

This is not universal, but further, this is not a very effective argument against lawns, especially when your local ecology might mean that working against lawns is less "plant less grass and plant more other things" and more "plant different and more grasses." And that these grasses will do things you might not consider aesthetically pleasing— a lot of native grasses will grow very tall, or sprout very large seed heads, or have odd growing patterns or coloration that makes you think it looks dead (when really its very healthy!)

You need to consider that you might come from a culture that systematically will find trees prettier than grasses, and further, trees that are adapted for milder or cooler climates prettier than tropical ones. Boldly flowering plants prettier than more subtle (or nonflowering) ones. And if your actual goal is to be environmentally friendly, you need to do some level of adapting for this.

This is not to say this is not a worthy goal, quite the opposite: I think that correcting for these practices is extremely important and necessary, but its not simple or easy, and disseminating info is also hard: planting native means that what that means in your area is vastly different than in my area, which is why I'm always wary of information about "planting native" that isn't extremely careful to be localized and specific as to where.

Friendly reminder that Detective Pikachu believes in climate change as an issue and so should you!

on some level, social media platforms undergo evolution like any living creature (maybe because they're coded by humans? or maybe just because change is inevitable?)

sites mutate, sometimes in ways that help them "survive/reproduce" aka gain more users, sometimes in ways that have no effect, and sometimes in ways that make them lose their users, and when they reach a tipping point, the species of site is considered "extinct" or essentially dead

are internet archives like the waybackmachine the digital equivalent of archaeology/finding fossils? they say things put on the internet stay there forever, the same principle applies to everything we produce and use up and deplete on this planet (excluding the trash we shoot into space, but even then, there is always equivalent exchange—you cannot make matter)

technology has grown in our image in every microcosmic way, so we have to be mindful & vigilant

we must make this matter
