Rishi HAS to go by the next general election. His views are tilting the balance between an already struggling working class such as myself, and causing a full scale revolution.
Hes already implementing rules for schools such as even harsher fines for those who take sick days, no phones at all, longer school days and shorter holidays. He aims to get everyone in sixth form or college to take maths English and science alongside the 3 mandatory a-levels all students must take.
Being in education as it is is absolutely exhausting. There’s been many a time where I’ve broken down sobbing because of how much work, homework and exams I have to complete. I am thankfully in university now, but my siblings will have to face these consequences if Conservative win the next general election.
Having to join the military for 12 months or do community service when you’re fresh out of school is barbaric. Teenagers my age already work so hard in dead-end part time jobs where we get treated like shit by Tory fuckers.
Furthermore, the conservatives are trying to overturn the equality act of 2010, which is literally one of the very few laws that protect vulnerable minorities, all because Ratface Shitbag can’t tolerate someone being comfortable in their own identity.
I’m not even going to talk about how his family is disgracefully rich and he makes a constant mockery of the people who he claims to be advocating for.
PLEASE, IF YOU CAN, DO NOT VOTE FOR CONSERVATIVE. LIVES WILL BE LOST TO THEIR GREED AND HATRED
depictions of the ace experience never seem to include the nightmare-borne skeleton creature from hell so kudos to the dimension 20 team for their commitment to accurate rep
was stressing over this case at like 2am and pheonix pissing me off because mayas about to DIE and he’s doing his gayass monologue over edgeworth like don’t make me mad
ok this sounds insane but in 2018 i went to a few carnivorous plant talks at the botany conference in minnesota. i got caught up in conversation with one of the guys there who was a huge nepenthes guy who told me a story about another collector in the pacific northwest who'd been buying poached plants, like a huge amount, and eventually got staked out by the fish and wildlife service and arrested and had all his plants seized and went to prison for it. idk if i ever talked about this on this blog before-- i know i liveblogged a lot from that conference but cant remember what all i posted-- but ive avoided talking about it since then because i was never able to find like, news articles or anything covering it, but behold.... we now have proof it was real, and im like 80% sure this was this guy he was talking about. the raid happened in 2016 and they'd been staking them out since 2013. he had nearly 400 plants and had been sourcing many of them from poachers in indonesia and borneo.
remember folks: poaching happens with plants too! it's a huge problem not only in carnvirous plants (nepenthes especially, which this piece is dedicated to talking about) but also in native plant populations in the US, including native carnivorous plant populations (north and south carolina's venus fly traps, california's darlingtonia, and sarracenia from the east coast), native orchids (historically one of the most poached categories), desert plants/cacti/succulents, and slow-growing woody ornamentals (cycads, for example). never buy bare-root plants off ebay or facebook! your best bet is local nurseries (which usually purchase farm-raised plants that do well in a wide range of conditions, and as a result have a healthy population in the wild) or specialty greenhouses (more expensive, but at least in the case of carnivorous plants offer young plants bred from established adult plants in-house, raised in captivity).
Guys. The shit Jake Weddle went through is fucking haunting. That shit would’ve been on a True Crime Documentary if Mr. Beast hadn’t covered it up so very well with 100k hush money that had 40% stolen in income tax.
THIS IS PURE HORROR. THIS IS SOMETHING DESERVING OF TO PUNISH THE WORST AND ITS STILL NOT ALLOWED ON MASS MURDERERS BUT A CIVILIAN DOING SOME DUMBASS CHALLENGE FOR MONEY CAN BE PUT THROUGH WITHOUT CONSEQUENCE. WHAT THE LIVING FUCK.
Guys. Please go watch Dogpack404’s newest video and support Jake’s story on his channel. Reblog this or someone else saying a similar message. These videos are being shadow banned on youtube and the truth needs to be wide spread.
Going crazy over the dialogue you get if you give the king the flower. The tradition of giving flowers to ANYONE important. Friends family lovers rivals enemies. Someone you may hate or love, both people who are important. Important enough to gift something to.
Siffrin speaking to their enemy, the only person who can understand how they feel and the person they have to kill, and gracing him with the humanity of gifting a flower. The humanity of a dead culture.
