1. Sunfish that got sick after aquarium closed has recovered — thanks to human cutouts

“A solitary sunfish […] appeared unwell days after the facility closed last month for renovations. As a last-ditch measure to save the popular fish, its keepers hung their uniforms and set up human cutouts outside the tank. The next morning, the sunfish ate for the first time in about a week and has been steadily recovering[….]”

2. Costco stands by DEI policies, accuses conservative lobbyists of 'broader agenda'

3. Nearly $37 Million Will Support Habitat Restoration in Coastal Louisiana

“The project will restore nearly 380 acres of marsh and construct more than 7,000 feet of terraces in St. Bernard Parish. […] Coastal wetlands help protect communities [… from] wind, waves, and flooding[… and] support a statewide seafood industry valued at nearly $1 billion per year.”

4. Cooling green roofs seemed like an impossible dream for Brazil's favelas. Not true!

“[… A Brazilian nonprofit] teaches favela residents how to build their own green roofs as a way to beat the heat without overloading electrical grids[…,] dampen noise pollution, improve building energy efficiency, prevent flooding by reducing storm water runoff and ease anxiety.”

5. Bacteria found to eat forever chemicals -- and even some of their toxic byproducts

6. A father and daughter’s to turn oil data into life-saving water

“[… T]he temporary pause will not impact “assistance received directly by individuals,” including federal direct student loans and Pell Grants, which are government subsidies that help low-income students pay for college.”

8. In Uganda, a women-led reforestation initiative fights flooding, erosion

“[… T]he Kasese municipality has established nurseries to provide free tree seedlings, particularly to women, to support reforestation efforts. [… They] plant Ficus trees near their homesteads to provide shade and help control erosion, and Dracaena trees on their fields to retain soil moisture.”

9. [A Texas school board] votes yes to provide low-cost housing to staff at no cost to the district

“The program will include 300 homes[…] only a short commute to campuses. […] Rent will be determined on a sliding scale based on their salaries, with those making less receiving a larger discount. The proposed community would include amenities, like childcare facilities[….]”

10. Heat pumps keep widening their lead on gas furnaces

“Americans bought 37% more air-source heat pumps than the next-most-popular heating appliance, gas furnaces, during the first 11 months of the year. That smashes 2023’s record-setting lead of 21%.”

has anybody else thought about how jk could easily manage sofia's parts of slow dance or is it just me?

#jikook #bts #everybody is working to insert jk in who where i just don't see it (other than the seven parallels)#and not talking much about what i see as WAY more obvious nods most especially in rebirth #like jm sings about wanting to be worthy of someone - maybe someone who just became a huge SOLO global popstar?#and mentions 'real love' - what was the name of that chapter in the bangtan book again?#and the feminine pronouns not present it's just the nebulous 'you' that in jimin songs often stands in for 'army'#(and one very specific 'fan' who has said he is ALSO army)#it's the 'i wanna be with you'#the answer for jk's 'i am still' with its unspoken additional 'still with you' layer #and then we get slow dance and we're back to the nebulous 'you' - on an island he-#oh wait what was that about a pair that traveled to an island? and filmed some stuff there that we'll see soon? hm #the reason this set me off though is the lines about 'cancelling my plans' to live to 'the tempo of our favorite song'#the falling deep into lines etc etc #because we know what happens when those two get together - they lose track of time everything else fades away #it's why they haven't done lives. why 'you and me' are 'up all night' why jm knows that as soon as jk is around #his self-discipline will crack and he'll fall into the pattern he tried to head off by separating from jk while making face #and we *know* jimin wrote on this song #frankly if he *hadn't* gotten a female feature everybody would be JUMPING on this song as a jikook anthem #the inclusion of sofia works perfectly - like hammering the pin back in a grenade #but i was reading those lines and thinking how high she went and going who else could sing this ...?#huh. who do we know of who can sing *anything*? and who has a range that can hit and blend with jimin's perfectly?#so. i dunno. y'all do your delulu the way that works for you and i will do my delulu my way lol #personally i think the eyes in the mv look like a screenshot from the love wins all mv but that's only me #i think the parallels with seven work more #and speaking of parallels (there are so many) i think this album was built to ensure jm is on equal footing with a certain someone #it's the commerciality of it - as though jm was like we will be together in this as well #when he seems not to be super interested in global domination but still 'special' enough to be on the same level with his love

well, i found something good about the slip arc. it’s the idea that homesickness in the future will be a physical illness that manifests in those especially who will never have the chance to return to earth. cause im gonna be real i wasnt paying attn because i didnt want to but the way i understand it people on new kinshasa weren’t affected by this, people in the upper echelons of sarasvahti (ie people who had money to spend and lives to lead by doing so) weren’t affected by it: only Brahma pests and those too poor for earth to ever be a dream in their hearts were ailing with a homesickness so potent and concrete that it led to physical symptoms.

and i fucking love that. i love that so much, i think theres this divide btwn ppl who would love to go to space and who love the idea of aliens and whatever and then you have those who get sick thinking about the idea that for years the planet has existed with a certain number of souls less than it’s supposed to have because theres always been people on the space station and i FIRMLY belong to that second category so like... this is SO good to me, it’s so fucking real

#penumb #again .... im gonna mention the sacred text this is getting embarrassing but idc its why i love that jet & rita are from earth in ambrosia #and i love the inclusion of second cit in there just on the basis of the fact that it melds so well and i love it #but also because i love how earth has grown and evolved and done so in a pretty insular way all things considered??#because its now considered backwards and old school and wht have you and obviously this isnt canon bc it wouldnt mesh with the homesickness #and also its not canon bc it just isnt but in ambrosia earth has sort of evolved beyond capitalism because theyve had to #bc they are living with the direct results of what human technologies have done in those ghost dinosaurs #and because at least how it comes across with the jet storyline it seems that earth has become a glorified parking lot #an in betweeny for dark matters to park their spaceship when looking for the unnatural disaster #i dont actually know if its canon that jet is from earth i feel like we've not heard jack about earth ever except for that illness #but like to me jet will always be from earth because it explains ... so much to me #this idea of natural disasters which im sure exist on other planets (i mean hello venus global warming) but they still all come back to #us and the way he's so self contained and self controlled seems to have something that for me resonates with earth too #idk. anyway idk if that author even knows what theyve done to my worldview with that fic its unreal

I feel bizarre making jokes about it myself, because it was basically the first horrible thing that happened in my life and I have extremely complicated feelings about it. BUT I'm grateful for everyone who does make jokes about it because it gives me perspective/keeps me from developing America brainrot

As someone around for 9-11 and the "NEVER FORGET NUMBER #1 GREATEST TRAGEDY EVER IN HISTURY" response to it I am in thrilled and invigorated by the fact that younger people just make amogus memes and TikTok nonsense about it. A huge chunk of America cared more about it than any entire genocide and thought you would cry learning about it. They hoped it'd make every generation patriotically angry forever and ever and want to join the military. Instead you Photoshop the towers into squidwards house and shit. Never stop lol

#9/11 #I lost touch with some great friends because their green card applications were revoked for no reason #along with everyone else's #anyway I love the pro-globalization that seems to have taken over tumblr #or maybe it's just anti-america but who cares #more posts from around the world on my dash to stave off the brainrot please #as someone whose only problem with reciting the pledge of allegiance every morning was the inclusion of 'under god' I am not immune
