Netanyahu is now admitting what the intention was all along, the complete takeover of Gaza. Displaced people are already forced into only 25% of Gaza, and now Israel wants to reduce it to 0%. The Israeli settler-colonial project can only be complete through the genocide of Palestinians. They have been destroying infrastructure, killing the environment, killing the people, starving the children.

[closet-keys]

The longer the blockades are in place, the higher the cost of everything sores. Price gouging of medicine and food is at an all-time high as thousands starve. On top of this, financial transactions coming into Palestine are charging higher commission rates. They are now charging 55% commission.

This means that you could donate $100 USD, and a person in Palestine will only receive $45, and that $45 can be the cost of just a single kilo of flour. Do you understand? The entire structure of global capitalism is enabling the starvation of Gaza.

Context: This is a grocery store in the town of Black Mountain, NC, which was devastated by Hurricane Helene. The police will not let anyone in to get food or clean water or even baby formula and diapers, not even if they have cash to pay. This is being framed as "stopping looters". This is apparently the best thing the cops have to do with their time, during a widespread emergency.

The store has no power - the food will rot anyway.

[thatdisasterauthor]

Looting is an EXTREMELY decisive issue in Emergency Management. Mostly because no one can actually agree on what looting IS, as evidenced above.

I'll be very interested in what the long term opinions on "looting" in Helene end up being.

[distatefulheadcanons]

Y'all I wanna clarify something here, since I haven't seen anyone pointing fingers.

This wasn't just a nameless grocery store. This was an Ingles. And reportedly, Walmart did the same.

Meanwhile, Publix opened its doors to the community on the honor system. Take what you need. Pay for what you can. And remember us in the future.

I haven't seen any news outlets mention these stores by name. Stop protecting companies that won't protect people. Say their names. Spread the word. And don't forget.

Extremely soggy juvenile great horned owl.

I’m afraid nothing could have given that beast dignity.

A moist owlet, one might say.

[yakityyaku]

very funny (irritating) to me that everyone whined and yelled about stupid rainbow capitalism and how performative wokeness/allyship is a net bad we should all refuse to support and now like.

tumblr is doing nothing for pride and target isn't selling much (if any) of their pride collection offline except at certain stores (in democratic areas, basically) and build a bear has a much tinier collection than normal and all the actual pride stuff is on their "adult" website (not sure if it's in stores, but pride = adult is a hell of a message)

there are genuinely good criticisms for performative allyship in all its applications. it shouldn't be the only thing we expect from people and companies. but if all the shit I see being called performative stopped tomorrow then in terms of the LGBTQ+ community especially we just. wouldn't talk about queerness or queer issues or celebrate pride or do anything.

open your fucking eyes. we are very close politically to having gay marriage rolled back. now companies are basically being let off the hook to even make a miniscule effort (which matters to the people who don't have access to any other kind of support in their communities! which normalizes the community in public spaces!) because the only reaction they have gotten over the last few years are negative ones from BOTH sides.

we are so entrenched in discourse at all times for the sake of our OWN performance of who is the wokest and who is REALLY an ally or a good community member that we have basically handed over all the work of activists of the last several decades to the other side because we'd rather scream at each other over fucking chicken restaurants and shit than the real life backsliding that's happening.

and this goes for other shit too. feminism, poc rights, all of it.

also. trans rights aren't discourse and aren't just culture war arguments. in case any terfs think they can spin this to be antitrans.

Was is on this post or a similar one where someone said that the corporations going all out for pride month is our canary for queer safety and this year the canary has stopped singing?

Bee Orchid

This is how I feel about Joshua Trees. They and avocado trees produce fruit meant to be eaten and dispersed by giant ground sloths. Without them, the Joshua Trees' range has shrunk by 90%.

(my own photos)

Not only they, but the entire Mojave ecosystem is still struggling to adapt since the loss of ground sloth dung. their chief fertilizer.

Many, many trees and plants in the Americas have widely-spaced, extremely long thorns that do nothing to discourage deer eating their leaves, but would've penetrated the fur of ground sloths and mammoths. Likewise, if you've observed a tree that drops baseball or softball-sized fruit which lies on the ground and rots, like Osage Oranges, which were great for playing catch at my school, chances are they were ground sloth or mammoth chow.

You can read about various orphaned plants and trees missing their megafauna in this poignant post:

The Trees That Miss The Mammoths - American Forests

Trees that once depended on animals like the wooly mammoth for survival have managed to adapt and survive in the modern world.

First quote from the linked article. Found it poetic.

Ferns are so ancient they literally do not gaf about anything and have been reproducing the same old way forever.
