Cemeteries are not wastes of space. Historical cemeteries ESPECIALLY are not wastes of space. The fact developers are continuously foaming at the mouth to destroy them and put a strip mall up in their place should make you even more determined to help maintain them. In urban areas, they are a haven for wildlife. They are a green space. If you are too afraid of death to utilize them for that purpose, that is on you.
this post will find you when it needs to find you.
just some facts: you are loved. you are not alone. you are valuable. you are worthy of good things. you are deserving of self love and forgiveness. i’m glad you’re still here.
A new study published online today, April 25, in the scientific journal Science provides the strongest evidence to date that not only is nat
From the article:
“If you look only at the trend of species declines, it would be easy to think that we’re failing to protect biodiversity, but you would not be looking at the full picture,” said Penny Langhammer, lead author of the study and Executive Vice President of Re:wild. “What we show with this paper is that conservation is, in fact, working to halt and reverse biodiversity loss. It is clear that conservation must be prioritized and receive significant additional resources and political support globally, while we simultaneously address the systemic drivers of biodiversity loss, such as unsustainable consumption and production.”
This massive meta analysis (for those not familiar, a study analyzing the results of many studies on similar topics) found that the vast majority of conservation efforts show much much better results than doing nothing. In many cases, biodiversity loss was not only stopped but reversed.
This shows that conservation efforts really work and money invested is put to very good use. Legally protecting endangered species really works, restoring habitat really works, removing invasive species really works, returning land to Indigenous communities works. All of the blood, sweat, and tears being poured into protecting the natural world has been making a real, big, tangible, difference on a global scale.
btw abled people hanging out with severely and/or visibly physically disabled people is not charity or sacrifice or impressive or anything like that. its normal fucking friendship dude. its normal to be friends with people who are different than you !! like i would fucking hope your circle isnt all people exactly like you.
it's not 'awh soooo inspirational and kind' to hang out with disabled people. in fact, some of you ableds are lucky if any crip decides to hang out with *you*
You don't have to force yourself to bounce back so quickly. I read something recently that said "when you come in from a rainstorm, you don't expect yourself to be dry and warm right away", and it really resonated with me. It's okay to take time to dry off and warm up. Take the time you need to process what happened to you.
Some thoughts vis a vis convos w singlets
reblog to give prev a fUCKING BREAK in 2026
The AI bubble bursting will mean that every product currently propped up by the tech industry doing circular self-investments has to be supplanted by an alternative that actually makes more money than it costs to run, or disappear with no replacement.
That doesn't mean literally every application of machine learning or language models goes away forever, because machine learning and generative models existed before Silicon Valley decided they were the infinite money algorithm, and will still be around after they stop thinking that. "Generate ten videos of cat people working in the baby mines for free" or "have the chatbot generate a summary every time I google" are not sticking around.
Roughly ten years from now, we'll have completely different approaches to using machine learning-based software, based on the applications of these algorithms that actually make sense given the resources used. They'll likely look a lot like the applications of machine learning that already existed before OpenAI, because those were motivated by finding places where these models were useful first, then developing the models afterwards.
The smuggest asshole alive will act like Sam Altman was vindicated in the end, but he will not have built Computer God, he will have been the figurehead of one of the worst investment bubbles in US history.
You have to separate the tech from the Silicon Valley hype ecosystem, is the thing. They've been betting on new iterations of "buy up ridiculous numbers of GPUs and then run an Infinite Money Algorithm on them" for the entire 20s so far.
The last few were promising to replace money and turn all video games into investment opportunities by putting all your in-game items on the blockchain. This one is making even more ludicrous promises like replace all human intellectual labor because they happened to land on an algorithm that vaguely resembles something scientists have gotten results out of.
The dot com bubble bursting didn’t mean people stopped making websites for things. It just meant people didn’t start investing in you just because you were making a website.
Yeah and like there was an internet both before and after the bubble, but extremely era-specific behaviors like "we're rebranding our corporation to [name].com, give us money" didn't make it out of there alive.
I know everybody out there is always saying don't kill yourself but I think everybody else should also not weigh themselves either. Never ever ever ever ever ever ever weigh yourself.
at this time of year you might be tempted to create new rules for yourself, if you do, make sure that they are designed to serve you, not to punish yourself for imperfection.

I think it’s normal for people to be mad at each other sometimes even if they’re close friends or family or intimate with each other. Like I think that’s a normal and healthy part of relationships that can happen sometimes
“Why were you on Mad At Me island” because at the time I was mad at you and yet our friendship has weathered that without trouble
