so let me get this straight. some people wanted eggs to be cheaper and were mad about all five trans women in sports and now america’s considering a military draft to go and commit more war crimes in west asia?

Paris climate deal: nearly 200 nations sign in end of fossil fuel era Two decades of talks have come to this: an ambitious agreement to hold states to emissions targets – but already low-lying countries are worried

"end of fossil fuel era"
reported in 2015. how naΓ―ve we were. how hopeful. how trusting.

in the uk, a slang word for biscuit is biccie, and i think this could be a cute nickname for you

possibly. though english speakers have a habit of using words sarcastically until their meanings shift. like how "egregious" used to be a good thing.

idk, unbelievable seems more neutral to me. incredible carries more nuance of unreliable information, i think.

incredible is a funny word. who decided that not being credible was a good thing?

wild about fuel prices rising like that. if only we'd all decided a decade ago to try and reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. like a set of agreements. perhaps made in paris. pity we didn't do that.

I fear for every unsolved mystery
and undiscovered secret. 
Fire is not freedom,
scorching feathers oily black,
stealing your wings, stealing your sky. 
A life can be taken in an instant
but knowledge cannot truly burn,
and though I may never know you,
I hope you know yourself. 
I hope you understand 
how to fly.

I was in Tehran this time last year. I want you to see how beautiful my city is. I want you to see the city the US/Israel is trying to wipe off the face of the earth

honestly, it's weird to me that people are so tied to things like POV (or present vs past tense). feels ironic, considering reading is all about using your imagination.

america begins with an a, which implies it's a negative, meaning there must be a positive version which is simply merica

Stars are disappearing before our eyes β€” and something in us is shifting For most of human history, the night sky has been a shared inheritance, a source of wonder. Now, more than a billion children see barely any stars in the night sky above their homes. So what does that...

'We are losing the stars. Not all at once, but quietly, one streetlight, one neon sign, one expanding suburb at a time.'

BREAKING NEWS: You are hot. "The results are both definitive and sexy," said one extremely flustered scientist.

it’s so funny when some rando makes a post that starts with BREAKING, like i’m sorry jeff but you know you’re not a newspaper, right?

and in a world where a country with a "department of war" formed a "board of peace" with wanted war criminals. orwell would be so disappointed in us.
