I need to know your complicated feelings on golf courses. Please

(Disclaimer that I still hate the sport of ball golf*; mini golf and disc golf are both way above it on the list for me)

Okay so basically when I needed an econ senior thesis topic I wanted it to be environmental econ related and made the mistake of thinking collecting information about the harm of golf courses and how that land could be better put to use was a good choice 🤪 and then I actually started looking into it and well...

Turns out! Golf courses can be bad but a lot of them are actually pretty good about water use and more importantly about water re-use. Additionally, I know we'd all prefer they be replaced with way more nature and greenery but the "rough" (wilder areas) and water features can actually attract quite a bit of wildlife, especially if they're filled with local plants

Also the majority of water use in this country and especially in more water-lite areas is for agriculture which golf courses are not part of 🤷‍♀️

My thesis included more suggestions for things that could be changed or added to the Golf Course Experience TM and further suggestions for decreasing water usage quickly and easily but yeah...

TL:DR most golf courses could probably be better about water use in multiple ways but as a whole they honestly aren't as bad as people would like to believe which makes it difficult to just full out call for them to disappear

That being said, as someone who doesn't play ball golf, the sport seems both boring and somewhat elitist (country clubs aside I don't love the dress code aspect) so by and large I am still opposed to it as a sport and institution

*I'm referring to it as ball golf bc I've learned from a disc golfer that ball golfers hate it being called that which amuses me bc I'm petty <3

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

Oh look, it seems like there's a Republican-led movement to purge voter rolls in the lead-up to the election! It's almost as if your vote matters and they don't want you to vote! Anyway, I whipped up a quick map (based on this) that shows when the voter registration deadline is in each state. There are a few deadlines coming up in the next week or so.

If you live in a state that regularly purges voter rolls for infrequent voters (the orange ones in the first map), or if you moved recently, it's good to check if you're still registered to vote.

Vote.org makes it super easy to check your registration: https://www.vote.org/am-i-registered-to-vote/

Just put in your address and DOB and they'll tell you whether you're registered. (And they give you a quick link to register online if it turns out that you're not! Only the 9 states in white on my map don't have online registration, and for those they provide instructions on how to do it via mail or in person.) If you want an extra verification, find your state's election website and double-check there.

So yeah, give yourself peace of mind -- do a quick check. :)

the older i get and the closer i am to reaching 30, the more the people around me try to deny me my age. it’s a constant ‘oh you’re just turning 29 again teehee 🤭’ or ‘dont tell your SO that, he’ll leave you for a younger model 😉’ and i just???? hate it?????????

i spent my entire teenaged years fighting for my life. i crawled through the deepest pits of my depression to cling to the promise of a life beyond that pain. i was so convinced that i was going to die young, that i would never see the grace of my age starting with a 2, let alone 3.

so im going to turn 30, and there’s not a damn thing anyone can do to stop me from loving it.

there’s something sooo sickening about how dunmeshis whole energy is like sometimes something terrible and awful happens to you and it changes you forever and nothing can make you the person you were before but there’s still love and there’s still sharing a meal together and there’s still living

“They gave me runway in this film. There’s one monologue in there. I can’t tell you the details of it. I say more words in that monologue than I said in an entire movie once as Wolverine. But there are sides of the character that I’ve been scratching at for 24 years […] There is stuff in this movie where I was like, ‘This is the thing I’ve been trying to get out’ and I feel so excited about it.”
