#arctic drilling

[vintageseawitch]

i don't want to live in a brown, dead world. i love our National Parks, federal forests, & other protected, public lands. i love how green it is & having a connection to the natural world.

Project 2025 will make sure we get a brown, dead world. they don't "believe" in climate change & will gut the EPA & privatize & gut NOAA (you know how we can just, look at weather info for free? lol it won't be anymore!). they want to sell public lands & strip them of their numerous resources. their solution for the ever increasing dangerous forest fires is to CUT ALL OF OUR TREES DOWN. they also want to drill MORE specifically in the fragile Arctic.

trump said climate change will give us MORE land even with all the evidence that the ocean level is rising. he's a dangerous moron.

certain people voting or not voting depending on their "principles" don't usually seem to want to talk about how climate change is dangerous to ALL humans & not just Americans. we're at a dangerous point. if they choose to make things worse we will never be able to recover. they are actively wanting to kill ALL of us. this election is not normal. do YOU want to live in a brown, dead world? because if you're fighting to make sure Harris loses, then you're merely advocating for these greedy psychopaths. your "principles" when looked at from this perspective just makes it sound like your ego. if we don't have a planet we can live on then no one will be saved.

don't stop talking about Project 2025 or Agenda 47. they're the same plan & trump's real policies. please check your registration status often. encourage friends & family. make a day of it to vote early if possible! if you're not registered on election day, request an absentee ballot! we can do this. vote blue! ladies, especially white ladies who are even considering this: you can do this. your vote is private. stay safe. i believe in us 💙

Let's talk about Biden, Alaska, and oil....

Dark Brandon strikes again!  This is the kind of thing you will get when you elect Democrats - if you care about climate change, back the party that’s at least trying to do the right thing (and then push them to go further)!

On Top Of The World - (Announcement!)

An unwelcoming place that few strive to reach.

I think that everyone who embarks on any creative endeavor has a dream project. A project that the mere idea of ever completing fills them with motivation to keep pushing forward. This is what this project is for me. I'm making a comic. Before I decided to become an illustrator, my goal was to tell stories through comics; that is the sole reason I started to draw. Things have changed since then, but I still haven't forgotten about my original dream project, and now that I finally feel comfortable with my skills, I am excited to finally bring that dream to life. This is the first time I embark on such a large project; I don't know how long it will take me or if I will manage to convey my vision for it properly, but I feel like I will implode if I don't carry it out, so I'm starting to work on it. So what even is this comic about? I'm not sure myself; right now I have a very loose grasp of how the story will play out, and I have next to no experience with story telling, so there's still a lot of work to be done, and I want to do some stuff before I start painting any panels, so don't expect to see any pages soon. I don't want to rush this project; this is just an announcement, or more practically, a public compromise for myself. All I can tell you about the story right now is that these two are Ivy (on the left) and Milo, the main (and possibly only) characters, and that it will be a (hopefully) not very long one shot. Here's a speedpaint of the process. I'm open for commissions!

I'm watching Season 6 of The Sopranos. $2.54 for a gallon of premium gasoline on Long Island in 2007.

I am man enough to admit I am crying.

Waking up to headlines like this broke me. This is our worst nightmare happening to Hawaiians in real time

fascism looks like asking elderly & disabled individuals to turn their air conditioning off and die while your HOA/county also bans putting solar panels on your roof because “what if it’s ugly”

With a crystal-shattering shriek, the bit of the power drill bored deep into the Arctic ice.
