No response? I'll go with formal attire

If you're feeling anxious or depressed about the climate and want to do something to help right now, from your bed, for free...

Start helping with citizen science projects

What's a citizen science project? Basically, it's crowdsourced science. In this case, crowdsourced climate science, that you can help with!

You don't need qualifications or any training besides the slideshow at the start of a project. There are a lot of things that humans can do way better than machines can, even with only minimal training, that are vital to science - especially digitizing records and building searchable databases

Like labeling trees in aerial photos so that scientists have better datasets to use for restoration.

Or counting cells in fossilized plants to track the impacts of climate change.

Or digitizing old atmospheric data to help scientists track the warming effects of El Niño.

Or counting penguins to help scientists better protect them.

Those are all on one of the most prominent citizen science platforms, called Zooniverse, but there are a ton of others, too.

Oh, and btw, you don't have to worry about messing up, because several people see each image. Studies show that if you pool the opinions of however many regular people (different by field), it matches the accuracy rate of a trained scientist in the field.

--

I spent a lot of time doing this when I was really badly injured and housebound, and it was so good for me to be able to HELP and DO SOMETHING, even when I was in too much pain to leave my bed. So if you are chronically ill/disabled/for whatever reason can't participate or volunteer for things in person, I highly highly recommend.

Next time you wish you could do something - anything - to help

Remember that actually, you can. And help with some science.

Tossed out some dry food cuz I thought it was stale - the girls weren't touching it, no matter how much I rattled the bowl - but as it turns out bin bags add extra flavour

As much as i love Dungeon Meshi, i do think that given Ryoko Kui's attention to realistic worldbuilding there ought to be a companion series called Dishes Meshi where they spend 2hrs washing and drying and packing away. Alll the goddamnfuck dishes they just made

I NEED A DAY WHERE ALL EUROVISION 2023 PARTICIPANTS GATHER UP AND COOK ONE DISH FROM THEIR COUNTRY AND ONE RANDOMLY ASSIGNED DISH (with instructions) AND THE BEST WINS.

EXTRA AWARDS IF YOU MANAGE TO PLATE THE DISH, IF YOU DON’T BURN DOWN THE KITCHEN, AND HONORABLE MENTION: THE MOST UNDERCOOKED DISH OF ALL.

we need to get her and the entirety of joker out on a cooking show immediately

lurking in radfem spaces has really changed my entire view of most mainstream internet spaces because once you realize just how censored women's voices and feminist thought are on these sites, and how much porn and misogynistic values are defended, you can't unsee it.

how anyone can bear to participate in an online space where porn, of all things, is lauded as the bastion of "self-expression" and yet any woman slightly critical of popular cultural opinions is demonized is wild, especially when a lot of that porn is a) violent and misogynistic b) often accessible by minors c) gross and shallow d) myriad of other reasons far better writers have probably described

fuck I'm just so tired. seeking rationality online is just opening a pandora's box of garbage and seeing the reflection of how bleak the social hegemony has become.

Got married during the panini and had the party last year since that is the fun part. Told everyone the dress code was “fun but no uncomfortable shoes” since I was in a local botanical garden. Despite a makeup artist no-showing, the photographer being… less skilled than advertised… and receiving a scam call about my CC on the way to the venue, it was a blast and my face hurt for like two days from smiling too much.

Totally recommend skipping the pressure (and extra markup) of having a fake wedding and just throw yourself a real gala/ball/murder mystery dinner party. It is a gift to yourself that can be done on a budget, depending on your tastes.

Anyone else just wanna have a wedding one day, like, not to marry anyone, but to have a wedding party

Like, you just wanna have a really awesone cool day where you get an excuse to wear a fancy outfit and there's a fancy cake and everyone you love is there at a fancy place and you throw flowers at people but nobody is actually getting married
