#especially in the last few years

[sunflowerlou28]

I grew up in a family where I constantly witnessed my dad abusing my mom . Physically and mentally. He was abusive towards me and my siblings as well. My mom is still with my dad .Mostly because that's our culture.

Do we speak about it to others in the family ? Yes .

But do we do it because we want him to die ? No .

Because victims want accountability. Apology . To have their pain be acknowledged.

Not this .

The number of posts I see with people saying that Liam deserved this outcome is truly nauseating. People are allowed to make amends . We don't know if he did or didn't . People truly believe that they are better than others for practicing outrage and spewing hatred that they claim is justified .

A man , who lived half of his life in the public eye , who clearly was affected by the hate he received, died in a horrible way and people still have the audacity to put their negativity out . Like he didn't deserve to live ? I'm sure he felt that too at times . That whatever version he had grown up to be , wasn't deserving to be alive . I wish someone told him that some version of him was better than none .That he had the chance to ask for forgiveness and make amends . That he was loved . That it wasn't too late .

I truly hope that the people who speak so terribly about someone who just passed away , someone who had a 7 year old son , Someone who publicly admitted to being suicidal, I wish these people don't have anyone depending on them for their kindness. Because by the looks of it , they have none to offer . While the man they claim to have been a monster had plenty to offer and will probably be remembered for the legacy he left behind , part of which was for how incredibly kind he was.

People ask me sometimes how I'm so confident that we can beat climate change.

There are a lot of reasons, but here's a major one: it would take a really, really long time for Earth to genuinely become uninhabitable for humans.

Humans have, throughout history, carved out a living for themselves in some of the most harsh, uninhabitable corners of the world. The Arctic Circle. The Sahara. The peaks of the Himalayas. The densest, most tropical regions of the Amazon Rainforest. The Australian Outback. etc. etc.

Frankly, if there had been a land bridge to Antarctica, I'm pretty sure we would have been living there for thousands of years, too. And in fact, there are humans living in Antarctica now, albeit not permanently.

And now, we're not even facing down apocalypse, anymore. Here's a 2022 quote from the author of The Uninhabitable Earth, David Wallace-Wells, a leader on climate change and the furthest thing from a climate optimist:

"The most terrifying predictions [have been] made improbable by decarbonization and the most hopeful ones practically foreclosed by tragic delay. The window of possible climate futures is narrowing, and as a result, we are getting a clearer sense of what’s to come: a new world, full of disruption but also billions of people, well past climate normal and yet mercifully short of true climate apocalypse. Over the last several months, I’ve had dozens of conversations — with climate scientists and economists and policymakers, advocates and activists and novelists and philosophers — about that new world and the ways we might conceptualize it. Perhaps the most capacious and galvanizing account is one I heard from Kate Marvel of NASA, a lead chapter author on the fifth National Climate Assessment: “The world will be what we make it.”" -David Wallace-Wells for the New York Times, October 26, 2022

If we can adapt to some of the harshest climates on the planet - if we could adapt to them thousands of years ago, without any hint of modern technology - then I have every faith that we can adjust to the world that is coming.

What matters now is how fast we can change, because there is a wide, wide gap between "climate apocalypse" and "no harm done." We've already passed no harm done; the climate disasters are here, and they've been here. People have died from climate disasters already, especially in the Global South, and that will keep happening.

But as long as we stay alive - as long as we keep each other alive - we will have centuries to fix the effects of climate change, as much as we possibly can.

And looking at how far we've come in the past two decades alone - in the past five years alone - I genuinely think it is inevitable that we will overcome climate change.

So, we're going to survive climate change, as a species.

What matters now is making sure that every possible individual human survives climate change as well.

What matters now is cutting emissions and reinventing the world as quickly as we possibly can.

What matters now is saving every life and livelihood and way of life that we possibly can.

Don’t be sorry, you are very correct

Sorry for the posting but. Donna deserved better.

[junewild]

Watching Sam & Brennan talk about the beauty of frivolity, of adults playing silly games just as seriously as they fight to survive, and... yeah. There are some things that keep us alive, and there are some things that make life worth living, and I think games are one of those things that fall into both categories. Games make our lives better and they make us better at being alive. I think that's pretty cool.

While I do think anon was rude, I do think it's pretty shitty to set up all this stuff you were going to add the au and then just drop it. It's disappointing. Definitely unfollowing.

Bye.

One of those aus where Starscream defects from the decepticons to the autobots in order to play spy— but the more he stays here the more he realizes he might actually prefer being an autobot

Does he get a redemption arc? A little bit

A little bit not though :)

i think that the thing that pisses me off most about writers needing to constantly introduce characters is that there are sooooo many underutilized characters that could fill the exact same niche that a new character could but writers arent doing it because a) they want to be Special and make their own characters thatll disappear in 5 years and b) theyre too lazy to tweak the story just a little bit to use an existing character so they just create a new one that no one cares about

Ugh my parasocial ass is so happy for that blonde lady right now because it seems like the stars have kind of aligned personally and professionally and she just deserves it all after a very tough couple of years

tagged by @eelqueen a little while ago (thank!)

rules: without naming them, post a gif from ten of your favourite films, then tag ten people to do the same.

off the top of my head...

and apparently gifs don't exist for this documentary but it's probably the dumbass mountain film I've rewatched the most over the last decade:

tagging @solosvejs @brilarsn @tubefullofdemons @puddeneen @whifferdills @volkswagonblues @reallyginnyf @medinaquirin @hilaryoncesaid @defiantbird @pizzagrenades and @muaddibshit if they wanna.

icl i would be at least a little happy with almost any ending for stranger things but one thing that would ruin all of it would be an epilogue (of a decade or more later)
