Clip from the linked article, reading: Use of the CRA can sweep aside years of public input and environmental review, short-circuiting usual regulatory processes. For example, in the Boundary Waters, the 20-year mining ban was created in 2023, after an extensive study and public survey by the U.S. Forest Service found that mining in the area would create irreparable environmental damage. Overturning this public land order would provide mining companies with unprecedented access to 225,000 acres in the Superior National Forest. Allowing copper mining in this watershed would threaten the area’s $540 million recreation and tourism economy. Copper sulfide mining produces sulfuric acid — essentially battery acid — that could flow into nearby streams or groundwater, potentially contaminating the system of 1,000 interconnected lakes in the BCWA.

Another clip from the linked article, reading: Furthermore, an independent peer-reviewed study by economists at Harvard University examined the proposed Boundary Waters mining plan across 72 different economic scenarios over a 20-year window. Their findings were stark: in 89% of scenarios, the net economic value of allowing copper-nickel mining in the Superior National Forest would be negative, meaning the losses to recreation and tourism would outweigh the mining jobs created.

While we're at it, let me bring your attention to H.J.Res.140. In Jan, congress introduced a way to open the protected Boundary Waters in MN to a Chilean copper mining co. If this loophole works, they can use to sell off ANY public land.

This isn't just for folks in Oregon, anyone can comment. If you care about wild spaces, please do.
Bottom of linked article has talking points.

Once old growth is gone, it's never coming back. They are planning to ramp up clearcutting to the rate of the 1960s before the Endangered Species Act.

feeling compelled to post this new yorker reject from years ago, for some reason

It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim “adult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer.

In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)

Either AI or deformed kitsune

The cartoons are on Tubi. This is not a drill.

Important to remember this was part of one of the wrongest “calm down” series in history

I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,

uhhh oh my god

Two wolves, Anja and Bosch

Anja the European wolf in her winter coat

Posting again, because some people aren’t aware and get concerned, but wolves look vastly different in the winter vs the summer! In the winter they can gain up to around 6 inches of fluff to keep them warm!

Haha Norway strikes again! This is hilarious and enfuriating at the same time. It's about shittification of services and we all know exactly how this feels - go watch it!

A Snow Bunting races across the snow kicking up bits of snow as it goes. You can see the long "spurs" on its feet.

At this rate, the term “Democrat” is going to replace “Quisling” in the lexicon of fascist capitulation.

On the one hand, the presidency is a fundamentally broken institution.

On the other hand, Congress is a fundamentally broken institution.

On the third hand, the Supreme Court is a fundamentally broken institution.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Each one of those three missiles costs 33% more than the annual budget of the national park where I work.

This is kinda insane. Also we are never clear on opsec like ever

Ultimate Jazz Hands!

Four panel grayscale comic titled “First Timer” featuring an anthro badger. Panel 1: The badger looks down, wringing their paws and frowning nervously. They think, “Oh god, I have no idea how to draw a comic…What was I thinking?” Panel 2: Badger looks left, sweaty and skittish. He scratches the back of one paw with the other. Panel 3: Badger looks right, still apprehensive but calmer and more curious. His shoulders and brow have relaxed somewhat. Panel4: Badger looks straight ahead at the viewer, a bewildered expression on their face and shoulders slumped. They say, “Wait. Is that all?”

I drew this a couple nights ago. It was a weird but effective way to get out a lot of feelings I’ve had about being scared to create and take risks, partly because I’ve been setting the bar way too high
Sometimes you just have to start small and simple!
