There is nothing to celebrate today. If you are one of the lucky few with today off (as I am), take some time to learn why.

There is no pride in genocide.

As the U.S. celebrates Independence Day, we cannot dismiss the continuous acts of injustice against Black and Indigenous people.

"You know, those single-use masks everyone is wearing in the pandemic are made of plastic too,” my friend Imani Barbarin said to me. Imani is a talented disability advocate who often speaks about the intersection of disability and environmentalism. She pointed out that the acceptable use of plastic is always set according to what a healthy person needs to be healthy (think masks, gloves, plastic prescription bottles, kinesiology tape… even home delivery supplements that individually package your daily vitamins), but when it comes to someone with a disability using plastic, everyone wants to shame them for killing the planet. “You need what you need,” she said to me in a gentle but firm voice. She was right."

The images are screenshot of two graphics. The first has a beige background with black text, certain words highlighted in blue, reading: "1. Care Tasks Are Morally Neutral

2. Rest is a Right, Not a Reward.

3. You Deserve Kindness Regardless Of Your Level Of Functioning

4. You Can't Save The Rainforest If You're Depressed

5. Shame Is The Enemy of Functioning

6. Good Enough Is Perfect"

The second image is plain white background with gray text reading:

"Care tasks are morally neutral. The way you do them, how often you do them, whether you can keep up with them or not. It's not a reflection of whether or not you're a good or bad person, whether you're worthy of love, whether you're a success or a failure. They truly are not moral obligations. They're just functional tasks. They serve a function and that function is to care for you. And the only reason to do them is because you're a person that deserves to function and you don't have to do anything to be deserving of function. And regardless of your level of functioning, you do deserve kindness."

I've seen people talk about what course kabru would be in a collage, and Im tired of it. Guys. He'd be an environmental social science major.

The Brooks Range is essential for the Alaska Native peoples who live, hunt, and fish in Northwest Alaska. It's home to the world's only remaining populations of migrating caribou, and dozens of migratory and boreal bird species, from Blackpoll Warblers to Arctic Loons. The Ambler Road proposal puts the Brooks Range and everything within it at risk. If built, this will not be a simple road, but a 211-mile industrial corridor that would threaten North America's largest protected and roadless region, as well as the food security and clean water of Alaska Native Tribes. It will cut through 1,200 river crossings, thousands of acres of wetlands, and migration pathways.

A whisper, a slight sound, something that would show, that you feel the warmth, or the cool breeze. Silence can be tormenting when nothing dominates. Yes, the need to read, hear, or see has taken the day and its needs.

Hi, how did you get the idea for your “ki” pronoun? Is it from Robin Wall Kimmerer?

Also your pfp is adorable :3

another late response from me, sorry! but i like this ask a lot.

i’m happy you like my pfp! i’m on a quest to be the most sheep girl to ever exist 🐏🏳️‍⚧️

i began using ki/kin pronouns because i’m an antispeciesist and animals right activist as well as an environmental advocate! i like how the pronoun originated to bring attention to the importance of every living being on our earth. i passionately believe this planet isn’t “ours” and we should treat all beings with respect. although i inherent a human body, i want my connection to all other living beings of nature to be perceived, and ki/kin gives me that feeling! i hope this explanation makes sense, i have a massive headache and am struggling with words haha-

Nez Perce Tribe receives $1.9 million grant to restore creek near abandoned mine • Idaho Capital Sun

I have to get up early but i cant sleep so im going to share my experience with LoP enviromental storytelling. I spent today at Vegnini Works and Moonlight Town. After Fuoco, the tunnel led to a mountain side and that made me irrationally upset. I didnt understand why a giant pipe under an industrial sector led to the mountainside. I decided to ignore it and proceed. I was in the entrance of the mines and i died. During the run back I realized. The carts were full of coal. The last room in Vegnini Works was the furnace. Its a coal mine that supplies coal directly to the furnace probably in the giant boxes next to the giant pipe, so they can be lifted up amd teansported (if that tunnel was like that before the frenzy).

In the mines I noticed the only corpses on the ground were women (or at least skeletons in dresses) and I was again confounded. Why were there only women corpses down in the mine? Wouldnt it make more sense if they were male? Or a combination of both? Then I exited the mine and saw the first corpse next to the stargazer was a man's and I realized. They had sent the women into the mines in an attempt to protect them. Idk the timelime, but if Moonlight Town was attacked before they knew of the frenzy, wouldnt it make sense for them to send people into the mines for safety?

One thing i dont understand is the rate of decomposition of some of the corpses. Skeletons next to bloodied meaty bodies, it doesnt make sense to me.

"Western countries to cut down on their meat consumption for the benefit of the environment. Animal agriculture is a leading contributor to a number of major environmental issues, including deforestation and rising greenhouse gas emissions.

In April 2022, one study from the University of Bonn in Germany suggested that meat consumption must drop by at least 75 percent in rich countries, which are putting an unnecessary strain on the planet through a high demand for animal products. "

'If all humans consumed as much meat as Europeans or North Americans, we would certainly miss the international climate targets and many ecosystems would collapse,'"

I don't understand how some people just do not care about the planet. The thing that gives ALL of us food, water, and shelter- literally the only source of everything that we need to live, and you just? don't care?
