Filling your lawn with native plants and making it friendlier to fireflies will go a lot further than buying fireflies to live in an area where they have no habitat to reproduce. If you build rewild it, they will come!
While you might not want to completely eliminate your lawn, [email protected] is a good resource for ideas on how to rework your lawn to benefit your local wildlife.
I think in this instance it might be “from the article”
I’ve felt the latter at a huge, extremely crowded parade and it was the scariest shit I’ve ever felt. Waves is the right word, because it was like being in a wave pool made of people. Fortunately nothing serious happened, but I have never noped the fuck out of anywhere that fast as soon as we were able to.
Really wanting to post this in reply to the guy on my Nextdoor neighborhood who is always posting about UFOs when we live near an active airport and can easily see launches from a nearby AFB, lol
Gavin Newsom didn’t veto a cool law?
The penalty for violating the law is detailed disclosures related to the favoritism, without disclosing the admitted students’ names.
Nevermind, this is toothless.
I hope you’re treated with the exact amount of compassion you’re showing here when climate change affects your home.
Move where? Are you suggesting we just abandon everywhere within hundreds of miles of the coast? People living hundreds of miles inland and not in a flood plain are affected by this as well. Look at an elevation map of North Carolina, and then tell me which side you think would be safer to be on: the side with mountains, or the low lying side by the ocean?
Because it was the western part of NC that got fucking wrecked. Suggesting that people should have foreseen this as inevitable when they chose to be born into communities that have been in the same place for literally hundreds of years without experiencing floods on this level is unrealistic, as is expecting people to just up and move with money they may not have to places where they have no community.
Expecting that we can just offload the price of climate disasters on those affected by going "oh well you should have just lived somewhere else" isn't just inhumane, it's ostrich head in sand behavior. Your community isn't safe from climate change, either. You better hope people haven't run out of empathy by the time you or your family need help.
“A” town didn’t flood, there’s wreckage across the entire southeast. It’s not because people in the south are too stupid to know where to build, it’s because climate change is making hurricanes stronger further inland, resulting in century and thousand year floods happening.
Fun fact: there isn’t any state that is safe from climate change disasters no matter what party is in power. Also, NC has a democratic governor and half of its House members are democrats.
Peter Jackson didn’t even ask him to eat like that, he just started doing it and they were too scared to stop filming.
Normal person reading that: particle accelerator from TEMU
Me: oh god, there are TEMU particles??
After all, how far inland could a hurricane go?

For me, hourly movement reminders and medication reminders without having to constantly keep my phone in my pocket has been a godsend. Keeping track of my heart rate (especially while asleep) has also been great for being more aware of when my PTSD symptoms are acting up. I’m also never going back to a sound based alarm instead of a vibrating one, no idea if regular watches have that now too or not.
And he isn’t autistic because he’s a Vulcan, that’s 100% the human part of him.
The right also covers for pedos and rapists in their ranks, I’m not taking any lessons about how to behave from them. Anyone who sees a town in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, etc under water or destroyed by tornadoes and thinks “oh boy, time to let people die to punish Republicans!” is an outright freak.
Not sure I’d consider things like the ability to make your character trans a symptom of anything other than the game being made in the 21st century.
Why are you advocating for letting people in states with heavy amounts of voter suppression just die when disasters happen and they don’t have the means to replace the response from the federal government? Like, what do you think is going to happen when resources don’t show up? This isn’t hypothetical, this would kill people. The reason it was bad when Trump did it isn’t because he’s a Republican, it was bad when Trump did it because it’s a hideous, heinous way to respond to human suffering.
If the game is dog shit the people crying about it being woke will still be the idiots. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Rescinding FEMA funding to play politics is low shit. If you’ve never needed it be thankful.
I think I played a ROM of that when I was younger! It’s the text based game right?
If you’re in LA you can see the bottom middle painting for free at the Getty museum!

What's the most extravagant thing you've bought for your pet, and do you regret it?
Inspired by watching my cat lay on her 6' (2 m) tall cat tower and sleep like a baby. Zero regrets, even if it makes us look like insane cat people for having a giant cat tower right in our living room. She lives here, she gets furniture too!
No puppies were harmed in this analogy

Weed and furry rule
Alt text: a one panel comic drawn in the style of The Onion’s Stan Kelley that says “shelter from the storm”; three rain clouds that say “resurgent fascism”, “irreversible climate change”, and “impending economic collapse” are raining on a furry character, who is cheerfully whistling because they have an umbrella labeled “weed and furry porn” that is keeping them dry. Similar to The Onion comics, a smaller character representing the artist is in the corner, saying “weather proof.” The artist is CritterDome
It’s not just about people watching porn. It’s drag queens, trans people, LGBTQ library books, and more.
