one of the things that's the most fucking frustrating for me about arguing with climate change deniers is the sheer fucking scope of how much it matters. sweating in my father's car, thinking about how it's the "hottest summer so far," every summer. and there's this deep, roiling rage that comes over me, every time.

the stakes are wrong, is the thing. that's part of what makes it not an actual debate: the other side isn't coming to the table with anything to fucking lose.

like okay. i am obviously pro gun control. but there is a basic human part of me that can understand and empathize with someone who says, "i'm worried that would lead to the law-abiding citizens being punished while criminals now essentially have a superpower." i don't agree, but i can tell the stakes for them are also very high.

but let's say the science is wrong and i'm wrong and the visible reality is wrong and every climate disaster refugee is wrong. let's say you're right, humans aren't causing it or it's not happening or whatever else. let's just say that, for fun.

so we spend hundreds of millions of dollars making the earth cleaner, and then it turns out we didn't need to do that. oops! we cleaned the earth. our children grow up with skies full of more butterflies and bees. lawns are taken over with rich local biodiversity. we don't cry over our electric bills anymore. and, if you're staunchly capitalist and i need to speak ROI with you - we've created so many jobs in developing sectors and we have exciting new investment opportunities.

i am reminded of kodak, and how they did not make "the switch" to digital photography; how within 20 years kodak was no longer a household brand. do we, as a nation, feel comfortable watching as the world makes "the switch" while we ride the laurels of oil? this boggles me. i have heard so much propaganda about how america cannot "fall behind" other countries, but in this crucial sector - the one that could actually influence our own monopolies - suddenly we turn the other cheek. but maybe you're right! maybe it will collapse like just another silicone valley dream. but isn't that the crux of capitalism? that some economies will peter out eventually?

but let's say you're right, and i'm wrong, and we stopped fracking for no good reason. that they re-seed quarries. that we tear down unused corporate-owned buildings or at least repurpose them for communities. that we make an effort, and that effort doesn't really help. what happens then? what are the stakes. what have we lost, and what have we gained?

sometimes we take our cars through a car wash and then later, it rains. "oh," we laugh to ourselves. we gripe about it over coffee with our coworkers. what a shame! but we are also aware: the car is cleaner. is that what you are worried about? that you'll make the effort but things will resolve naturally? that it will just be "a waste"?

and what i'm right. what if we're already seeing people lose their houses and their lives. what if it is happening everywhere, not just in coastal towns or equatorial countries you don't care about. what if i'm right and you're wrong but you're yelling and rich and powerful. so we ignore all of the bellwethers and all of the indicators and all of the sirens. what if we say - well, if it happens, it's fate.

nevermind. you wouldn't even wear a mask, anyway. i know what happens when you see disaster. you think the disaster will flinch if you just shout louder. that you can toss enough lives into the storm for the storm to recognize your sacrifice and balk. you argue because it feels good to stand up against "the liberals" even when the situation should not be political. you are busy crying for jesus with a bullhorn while i am trying to usher people into a shelter. you've already locked the doors, even on the church.

the stakes are skewed. you think this is some intellectual "debate" to win, some funny banter. you fuel up your huge unmuddied truck and say suck it to every citizen of that shitbird state california. serves them right for voting blue!

and the rest of us are terrified of the entire fucking environment collapsing.

Hiiiii curious if you’ve seen this and what you think?

https://www.yardbarker.com/nhl/articles/nathan_mackinnon_on_summer_training_with_mitch_marner_he_looks_awesome/s1_16958_40875807

i did see that!! and i'm not shocked in the slightest at all by yet another elite talent in the nhl coming out defending him big time. people can't even say it's just bc they're friends and he's defending his buddy's personality bc if you really think nathan mackinnon (the same man who threatened to kidnap mitch in a suitcase) is saying shit just to say it about people's talent or work ethic ON the ice then idk what to tell you, lol. it's nice to hear some empathy from one of the big name "winners" in the league about the leafs situation in general too but. a point for nate mac in my book.

it is hilarious to watch leaf fans be MAD about other top guys in this league complimenting a leafs player and insinuating there's some conspiracy behind everyone coming to his defense... it's so exhausting to like the leafs and have to engage with their media, like any normal fanbase should and would be eating this shit up.

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!

More Supernatural - VG crossover bullshit. I have a fever. And the only prescription is more antagonizing. O'Byrne and Roy are from from an in-development story, Virtual Ground, and they are having a great time getting along with the Winchesters because Roy should be dead, and we don't talk about what's under O'Byrne's suspicious nicotine neck patch.

Mmph. It’s been a while and I didn’t realize I would still be excessively annoyed/affected by people with negative things to say about my OTP, but I am, I guess.

If it helps to add context, these comments were on a post where an account had reposted (without permission) some sweet gift art of the ship made especially for me, so I may be inclined to take it more personally for that reason. >__>

Caught in the act 👀

wheeeee figured out a couple of plants for angel homeworld!!!! + a little beast youll find in just about every biome on that damn planet

cherubs are the result of a wild subspecies of angel mixing naturally w a meat car(this was not intentional). cherubs build their nests via ripping up/off whatever plantmatter is available. nestbuilding is a group effort, often involving 30-50 cherubs building elaborate structures in whatever crack, crevice or cave system is available. angels use these guys to teach their children about teamwork & the importance of choir-building(which may or may not involve colourful puppet cherubs lmao).

the 2 plants shown here(1 moreso than the other) are seen most often on angel homeworld. one is a single leathery leaf that joins up with others of its species to create giant colonies of the same plant. angels often uproot them due to the fact that they make climbing cliffsides really fucking difficult(they r both tightly joined together & VERY SLIPPERY). the other plant is a treelike plant that grows inbetween cliffs & large crevices. their stringy bark is favoured by cherubs.

I made the terrible mistake of checking a line distribution video for Ateez since their latest comeback. Some of the members with fewer lines feel like they were getting more. Which almost seems to be the case? Maybe?

But then I look in the comments... whooo boy lmao

[officialpenisenvy]

oh i love twin peaks (unsurprisingly)! and yeah its so insidious, i was terrified to bring it up to my parents because i thought that if i gave them the opportunity to think of me as a sexual being (really someone who was molested/raped but that was not how i thought about it) they would become aware that that was an option and take advantage of it. which of course made everything else worse

EXACTLYYYYY that's exactly it. if your parents find out you're being sexual (consensually or nonconsensually) they will want to be sexual with you because you've opened that avenue up for them. it's so fucking insidious and horrifying like to this day i refuse to talk about my romantic or sexual life with my parents even in the vaguest of terms because im so terrified of them seeing me as a sexual object. my mom will be like oh so do you have any girlfriends are you seeing anyone 😃 and im like i would rather kill myself than answer that question. and that's with consensual sex im having as an adult let alone the sexual assault i was facing as a child

Just applied for a summer childcare position (like for a camp type thing) that pays 20–28 dollars an hour based on qualifications (I should be towards the end of that scale because I work in a school; and the only requirement the job lists is to be 16 and have experience with children). So hopefully they’ll consider me. That would be wonderful.

god, i really wanna rewatch the summer i turned pretty to brush up my character understanding of belly and jeremiah (for the fic) but just thinking about taylor swift being the sountrack to belly's relationship with conrad makes me unreasonably heated!!!!

like, let's chat because what a way to give away the endgame. as someone in her late 20s, i grew up watching boy meets world, gossip girl, one tree hill, and many more teen dramas. i already expect the endgame couple to be the "first love". not only that but i've also READ THE BOOKS!!! i know belly doesn't end up with jeremiah. why are the showrunners making it that much more obvious??? it's boring!!!!

even if i had a glimmer of hope that they might change the way we get to that god awful endgame (but based on how jeremiah was written in season 2 i also doubt they'll make any significant changes even if it would be to avoid a tired and dangerous biphobic stereotype), it's still such a bummer to know, from the first season alone, that belly's not gonna end up with who i ship her with.

they should've balanced those songs out. they should've made taylor swift's music more of a belly thing rather than a ship thing.

all this brought to you by some bullshit line in an article about how because delicate is in the reputation album it means that "jeremiah is lust and vengeance." excuse me??? when half of the songs on that album are unapologetic love songs???

last thing. your first love will always be special. always. but it doesn't mean it's the most important one or that because you'll "never love someone the way you loved your first love" that your next loves aren't real. they are. they will be. romantic love isn't confined to one person for eternity.

I’m shook that people are actually celebrating Conrad’s absolute fucking dickishness as “King” behavior like no sorry that’s trash behavior lol idk what y’all are watching but it’s clearly not the same show.

[sealer-of-wenkamui]

THANK YOU FOR ACTUALLY ACKNOWLEDGING THESE TWO AND WHAT LIMBO DID TO THEM, and yeah fair enough reason for not inviting them, they absolutely would try and kill him and with good reason. I was kinda annoyed we had two summers with them not appearing at all, or even being mentioned, even though we’re facing off against Douman, and Danzou is the one person he’s directly hurt more than anyone else, so why is she continuously ignored?

Like I wasn’t expecting too much after she was largely ignored in the main chapter that should have been focused on her with it being the conclusion to her intertwined arc with Limbo but still, never forget he fucked with her mind, put the curse of annihilation in her, forced her body against her will to attempt to kill her new companions including her son (all while mocking her) blew her up (killing her and taking out Musashi’s eye) before going after her servant self, implanting a virus to restore part of her memory for the express purpose of learning what she cherishes most and letting her be more human so she can truly suffer when he crushes her son to a bloody pulp in front of her (and he outright tells her all this!), and seems to be following through on that in Heian-kyo, as Sion detects they’re the only two Servants being invited in! (Too bad that Heian-kyo half assed her story though, idk just cause she’s unpopular or what but still.)
