If you have time, and are near one of the meetings, the public comment meetings are happening next week. You will have 3 minutes to comment and I think you'll need to sign up before the meeting.

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) announced an initiative yesterday proposing major changes to various State Parks throughout Florida.
Today, with only one week's notice, FDEP announced public meetings throughout the state scheduled for 3 p.m. on Tuesday, August 27th. The meetings will consist of a presentation and an opportunity for public comment, but with only an hour allotted, they do not appear to include a question-and-answer period.
To voice your concerns about these proposals and the lack of public participation, send your customizable email to the Governor, the Secretary of FDEP, and your state representatives. Adding your connection to Florida's State Parks in the email can help them understand how important this issue is to you, their constituent.
if you are able to make it to one of these, i strongly recommend you do. otherwise please send a message. we dont need fucking golf and pickleball in our already threatened natural areas

I rarely post here, but this is too important not to discuss. My home state is now on the verge of losing its state parks. Florida loses around 120 acres of natural land to development every day, 44,000 annually. Now they want to go after our state parks.
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection announced that it will allow construction and urbanization, an unfortunately hideous and common sight in Florida these days, within nine of our state parks. These nine state parks are:
- Hillsborough River State Park, Tampa
- Honeymoon Island State Park, Clearwater
- Oleta River State Park, Biscayne Bay
- Jonathan Dickinson State Park, Stuart
- Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park, Fort Lauderdale
- Anastasia State Park, St. Augustine
- Camp Helen State Park, Panama City Beach
- Topsail Hill Preserve State Park and Grayton Beach State Park, Santa Rosa Beach
The department wants to add golf courses, glamping areas, pickleball courts, etc. This proposed plan would destroy delicate ecosystems and strip plants and animals of their habitats, as if there isn't enough strain on our natural ecosystems already. It'll be disguised as "increasing accessibility," it's not.
Now is the time to stand up and say no. On August 27th from 3 to 4, there will be meetings taking place to discuss this proposition. If you live in those areas and want to go, the addresses are available on the Tampa Bay news article linked below. If you live outside of the area, call the Governor's office at (850) 717-9337 and let them know that Floridians are going to oppose the destruction of our state parks.
My family has been here for nine generations. I'm a descendant of the first settlers to Florida, and I'm tired of my home's natural wildlife being destroyed in the name of greed and corporate interests. Enough is enough. I will be attending the Hillsborough River State Park meeting if anyone wants to join me. On top of that, I will be calling the Governor's office. Every Floridian needs to oppose this and save the real Florida for future generations.

Tossing and turning in bed plagued by visions (Ed Edgar headcanons that are definitely just me projecting my cowboy ass autistic interest in strange animals onto him bc he too is a strange southern man with autistic swag)
#atlas speaks#i think he keeps exotic animals. not in like a joe exotic tiger king 'I'm raising endangered mammals that could kill me in my bedroom' way#but like. he has a bunch of venomous snakes and weird spiders. his living room is just lined with shelves and shelves of terrariums#i think you see him interact with his strange and dangerous pets and it's like meeting a whole new person#he is so much less of an asshole the second he is looking at a weird bug#i think he would love camel spiders in particular. those fuckers are so weird he'd love it#and bold jumping spiders. bc they're native to where he grew up#you take him out hiking or some sblhit and he starts acting like that guy on tiktok who hunts for pythons in the florida everglades#he's picking up snakes with his bare hands like#'oh yeah this is a black racer! they're totally harmless but they've got a lot of personality ^-^' while it aggressively bites his arm#he tried showing Bim the David Bowie Huntsman once. he's like 'Bowie is a gay icon Bim'll love this' and quickly learns Bim is arachnophobic#he's waving around cane toads like 'oh my god guys look at the poison glands on this thing!!!'#i feel like he'd love eastern hognose snakes too he loves the silly fucking way they play dead#anyways what I'm saying is give him a educational nature show let him do some weird shit out in the wild it's his natural habitat#he's the types of guy to stand barefoot on the asphalt next to a diamondback to get it to cross the road so it doesn't get run over#I'm hoping releasing these thoughts into the world frees me from them so i can sleep lol can you tell#anyways he absolutely handles like black widows and brown recluse with his bare hands like a madman#he would love eel pit guy#anyways this is his one redeeming quality he is still the worst in every other way 👍

every day I wake up and remember the time in group therapy where we unanimously agreed to have an irl hunger games but just Florida. Just Florida. Just everyone in Florida until there's only one Florida man left. This is probably why we were all in therapy

reblogging again for the morning crowd!!! after paying rent today i have $5 to my name and my day job doesn't pay me until next week! if anyone wants to help me cover some of my short term expenses in the meantime (etsy fees/shipping labels to get my orders out on time, grocery delivery fees that EBT doesn't cover) a few dollars would go a long way.

tbh it's crazy how people heard 'britney is free, her conservatorship ended' when she's Not Free. oh at all. she doesn't have full control ober her social media and whenever there's a court hearing regarding her assets whatnot somehow she's always in hawaii, away from everything. people who abused her financially and mentally ... her own family... why are they free. there's 0 consequences to what they done. why lou taylor who stole her money allegedly is allowed to put more and more people undernl conservatorship. tbh the more i learn about what britney went through in the past 15 years, the more im surprised she made it and is still with us. rn the media only reports om how she's acting weird or picks up beefs wih other celebs while maybe they should focus on if they arent "accidentally" repeating what happened to her in 2007. the media, gossip pages, tiktok youtube drama accounts have no business speculating on her mental health. maybe focus on reporting how oddly uncommon it is to put celebs under conservatorship when it's clear their family has ulterior motive and they don't care about that person's wellbeing
