Guys they reintroduced Galapagos tortoises to espanola island and they’ve essentially terraformed their environment, knocking over invasive plants so that endangered albatrosses (who need space to take off using the ground as a runway) have returned and established nests!

I need you people to realize that you can be friends with people older than you. like, much older than you. like, decades older than you. you can be friends with these people. regular friends, just like anyone your age. it is possible.

I grit my teeth and read the entire executive order regarding trans people, and I just want to take the opportunity to remind folks not to forget intersex people. One of the rescinded documents is “Supporting Intersex Students: A Resource for Students, Families, and Educators," and there is a huge emphasis on legally enshrining "only two sexes."

Yes, this affects trans people, but with the way intersex voices often get ignored in trans spaces, I just want to remind folks not to shut us out. Don't forget us. Don't keep talking over us. Don't act like we aren't on the front lines. Don't act like this is just about you. Please.

I don't think psychology truly values autonomy as a need. I think it genuinely is just above food, water, medicine, and shelter for importance. I think the massive discontent and mental health issues we see are largely influenced by a lack of autonomy. Wealth inequality restricts the autonomy of people at the bottom. You have to work more and feel trapped at a shitty job since leaving puts you at risk. Retail and food service restricts how you can behave at work.

A lot of examples of abuse (childhood or otherwise) involve restricting or taking away a person's autonomy. I think there needs to be more focus on this
