#Climate Change discussion

[meteorologistaustenlonek]

Risk takers and rule breakers to the front. As Peter Kalmus has said, he and Rose Abramoff disrupted the AGU meeting that day because they “believe that climate scientists have a key role to play in breaking society out of the ’normalcy bias’ or bystander effect that still has most people thinking ’this is fine.’” I couldn’t agree with this objective more. And I see, in the price they have paid and the attention it has received, some small but perceptible movement toward it.

The bolder tactics of activism carry real risks—including for scientists the risk of eroded credibility as a widely-trusted messenger. Yet, the greater the risk, the greater the potential reward. If the reward is actually breaking society out of our collective trance and into a state of real, transformative action, what professional—and even personal—risk wouldn’t be worth it? Climate scientists, what would you risk for that reward?"

thinking about @immult's meta post regarding the end of episode 114. as you do. how vox machina is nice and happy with vax now and that they can have a lovely little "maybe the world is gonna end party" now that the bloody bridge is gone. except… except that leaves the question of the ruidians who weren’t soldiers who were effectively brainwashed into joining the settler-colonization of exandria.

well, now they’re doomed no matter what if predathos does crack open the moon like a shiny red egg. and fans are rooting for ruidus to get nuked. but i guess they’ve been marked as evil. even the rebels who hate their eugenicist leaders like gaz and rashinna, even the little kids that chetney gave toys to, even the ones who just wanted to try apples and strawberries, all of them have been marked as either worthy sacrifices or tainted by association with ludinus. and boy does that form a pattern.

bor’dor deserved to die! imogen should dropkick her mom into a spike pit while bh cheers her on! they deserve it for being so stupid to join a cult! people shouldn’t be upset with the gods for nuking aeor or not doing anything to stop avaliar from crashing! everyone in the age of arcanum was an egomaniac who loved hubris so they all had it coming! why should essek have to apologize or actually try to make amends for the countless people who were killed or enslaved in a war he kickstarted out of spite? that happened so long ago it’s basically ancient history! and he’s the nice quirky twinky bestie of the nein!

see the disconnect? why is it suddenly a bad, awful thing when the hells "make a choice for everyone else" regarding the gods when you had zero problems with all the other parties doing it or them taking out people that "deserved" to die?

If you watch any video at all today, I really recommend watching this one.

This person discusses where we (as a global whole) are at right now with climate change, and some impacts I agree that most all people will experience in the next 5-15 years. Obviously that doesn't sound super cheery, but I personally found the presentation truthful without fear-mongering, and relieving because I have been having sharing these thoughts with my own personal circle for at least a year now. You are not alone and we need to be having these conversations.

at a certain point some people need to realise it’s not enough. they need to realise that they should feel some slight guilt for how much useless things they consume or how much plastic they throw out or how much meat or dairy they eat. at a point you have to look in the mirror and actually ask yourself if it’s necessary. capitalism is an evil system that thrives off of your human condition to feel guilt for your actions. it wants you to feel like the problem. however, that doesn’t execute individual responsibility. that doesn’t mean you don’t have to try. you are responsible for your actions and frankly if you don’t feel a bit bad about wasting money on something harmful, that’s concerning. you don’t get to say ‘no ethical consumption under capitalism’ and then do exactly what capitalism wants you to do. you should feel bad for unnecessarily consuming unethical products because you have a responsibility to be kind to others, not because you’re responsible for climate change and so on. you have a duty to give a fuck about others

final chapter of this 'wish it were worse so i could just stop reading' book [ATLANTIC - SIMON WINCESTER - NOT RECOMMENDED 👎] manages to be the most interesting it's been all 400 pages while maintaining the infuriation level. i think it's sooooo important to read books you disagree with it helps exercise your mental muscles and hurghenilgjf *dropkicks book across room*

What kinda roses you got growing/how's the fur growing in?

thanks for the interest! i havent gotten to talk about my plants in a bit especially.

i really cant remember the exact fancy names of which roses ive grown, but theyre hybrid modern ones. i have pale orange & pale yellow bushes growing - i tried to plant white ones this year but i chose a bad spot and the Sun Rays of Death we've got this summer completely obliterated it.

as for my fur - ohh, it's been doing well! im very proud of my body hair this past year even if i dont really think it's prominent enough yet for anyone to notice without paying a lot of attention.

heres my belly before (left) vs now

heres my facial hair my first day using minoxidil/before testosterone (left) vs now (right & bottom, bottom is a month or so ago but still works for comparison)

there's a lot more - basically every part of me is furry right now, but im not comfy posting every part of me - but those are some highlights. i know it's hardly anything to others, but it means the world to me. and i hope one day to have a very big beard and even more body hair - ill just keep not shaving for forever and see where it gets me.

thanks for taking an interest, i really do appreciate it a lot! 💚
