It's supposed to be up to 97°+ this next week in the Portland Metropolitan Area - try to be safe. Tuesday's expected to be the worst, so it's a great excuse to ditch the annoying celebratory activities!

The Washington County website says "When it’s extremely hot, be sure to check on your friends, family and neighbors and share these resources with them", and guess what that's *you*!

There's a lot of other good info on that site, including pro tips and symptoms of heat stroke. Also, cooling center info and financial assistance info (we're not used to having an AC season) for locals in Washington County (OR).

Also there's a comic. It's pdf on the site though. Boo.

#heat #heat safety #heat warning #psa #portland #pdx #oregon #but also everywhere #yay climate change #also I'm going to be annoying with this animated text generator #sorry #summer 2023 #2023 #doom 2023

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.

paper straws - yay or nay? (for me its yay for the environment but nay because of my sensory issues)

I agree, they disintegrate really fast but they’re better than using plastic straws

if I have to consume one more piece of media today about the impending downfall of earth due to overpopulation/climate change/etc I think I may just have to drink windex til I keel over

#downsizing (2017) last night (the most dogshit movie in the whole entire world. btw. but about climate change)#finished pantheon last night. which was very much like ahaha and btw the world is snowballing into THE WORST POSSIBLE SCENARIO ALWAYS #that was at least semi well-executed so enjoyable from a narrative standpoint but unfortunately that DOES make it much more anxiety-inducing #and now. my readings for bio ecology tomorrow are all about human population outweighing its available resources #i think i am going to pass out #i also forgot to take my meds for the first time ever this morning so yay yippee #🤸

Anyways incorporating new saint hcs into my semi au Sliver lore means that now saint gets to continuously experience ascending Sliver forever 👍

#rat rambles #rain posting #along with everything else theyve ever experienced yay #here have some other miscellaneous saint hcs while Im thinking abt them #as Ive said before I like to think that they are physically and mentally quite young and mostly act on what motions theyve taken before #which since their existence is infinite and all that jazz it mostly means that they carry both the same actions and the same emotions #across all moments of their existence #they don't rly understand the things they do or the mental states they achieve as they have a hard time focusing on any given moment #it also doesn't help that the more they think the more their thoughts overlap with all that has been and all that there ever will be #plus theyre y'know. a slugcat. so generally they arent super built to deal with smth this complex #no one rly would be but especially not some adolescent slugcat #I also dont think of them as cruel or mean in nature #I generally think of them as fairly kind when they can be #not that its easy for them to act on it #theyre also ofc generally extremely frail and sickly but thats mostly due to how thin theyre stretched out #their body doesnt age but it still is clearly strained under the pressure of an eternal existence #anyways for a complete change in tone I also like to imagine their fur isnt actually like mammal fur #idk quite how to describe the vision in my head but think of it as kind of like thick insulated foam almost?#its actually prone to getting gooey and melty when its too warm #they do have quite sensitive skin underneath the coat so its important to keep the coat clean while taking care to not disturb it too much #hense their long thin tongue thats often used for careful and precise grooming #or at least thats the idea. saint doesn't actually take very good care of their coat and its often left worse for wear as a result #a more typical fluffy slugcat would usually be able to survive in the worst of the blizzard's that appear in saint's campaign #in fact in my hcs there are actually plenty of slugcats whove built large communities together in such climates with the advantage that #they can afford to emerge during the blizzards to stockpile on food and then hide away during the calm times #it's not uncommon for groups that hibernate together to eat their coats to recycle nutrients and ensure they won't overhead during their #shared hibernation together #their coats will usually grow back during that time and are usually grown enough to handle the outside world again by the time they need to #communal grooming is also extremely common as maintaining their skin health is one of the most important parts of their survival

A state of emergency has been declared for the entire province I live in because of the wildfires. I'm in a safe area so I'm okay, but over 15 thousand people have already been evacuated and more than 23 thousand on alert is fucking scary.

i understand where people are coming from when they advocate for clean energy and say that there's plenty of space for solar panels/wind farms etc but it ticks me off when people say that the perfect place for it is the desert because "it's just empty dirt" or say that it'd be the perfect place to convert vast swaths of land into flat solar panel cities.

the desert is also an ecosystem. its an incredibly FRAGILE ecosystem at that. the environment is already rather extreme, and things have adapted to survive in extremes, but that is what makes it even more delicate. Many of the things here have adapted to survive on the bare minimum, but when you take that bare minimum away, it doesn't stand a chance.

please learn to care about the places you don't think are "pretty" or "appealing" or that look empty to you because your pea-sized brain doesn't see trees. that's harsh, yes, but I am so tired of seeing people who claim to be environmentally conscious just hand-wave away desert ecosystems because they don't consider them pretty enough or worth saving.

#any time i see someone pull up a dumb map like #'if you covered this amount of the desert to solar panels it could power the whole country!!! yay environmental activism!!!'#and you look and its like 'teehee what if we covered this entire unique and delicate ecosystem in metal and glass'#so incredibly shallow and annoying #we live in an ecosystem that relies on VERY LITTLE RAIN throughout the year #and with climate change the rain is one of the first things to go in the desert #droughts are bad EVERYWHERE but they can be so devastating in deserts especially #because there ARENT that many other sources of water #idk just. annoyed today lolll
