I found love on Meet the Marxists starter pack, and so can you! I mean probably

“We” which is one of the most important novels of the early 20th Century has been translated into English over 16 times. It would make a good case study in translation…

okay so in my defense i was thinking about this more from the "graveyard of empires" perspective and less from the "this is going to be another moral/strategic/humanitarian nightmare" perspective

A large orange tabby cat with an indignant expression on his face. Why haven’t you adopted him yet?

if youre going to make fun of Edward "Large Balls" Coricidin, at least make an effort to get his name right

the Chateau Marmot was a lesser-known hotel in LA which catered to the bizarre whims of jaded rock stars. If you were bored with cocaine-fuelled orgies and throwing TVs out of windows, you could instead nibble on broadleaf plantain, or take a rejuvenating romp through the VIP suite's outdoor meadow

me (trying to sound normal): ah, i just help look for lost cats sometimes 🥰

also me (holding a $1000 thermal hunting scope irresponsibly bought specifically to find cats):

maybe they should have pottered less

Addressing critiques refines global estimates of reforestation potential for climate change mitigation - Nature Communications Reforestation is a key climate change mitigation strategy, but global maps of its potential are widely criticized. This study shows that addressing those critiques substantially refines estimates of t...

A couple years ago, I was approached by some scientists at The Nature Conservancy with a proposal: Would I help them create a better global restoration opportunity map? The resulting paper is now out, and I will explain my view of it in this thread. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Capitalist democracy is a sham.

A black t-shirt with small, green ASCII characters similar to an old computer screen. Together the characters create a picture of a wizard with the word 'webmaster' above it

New shirt arrived just in time for HTML Day! **Of course** I got the cat one, too.

it dawned on me the other day that the problem actually goes deeper than this and its pretty hilarious to contemplate

in my guesstimation of talking to hundreds of trans people of all genders who desire HRT, about ~75% of us report, within a few WEEKS of our first doses, our minds calming and becoming a habitable place for us for the first time in our lives

this is what we are defending

it is life or death

not even that, like at least trichinosis has the decency not to take the company public

they did this to us in the 1980s!!! "ahh yesss who can forget those storied classics of yesteryear" fuck off disney, you parasitize the world's cultures, youre the folkloric equivalent of trichinosis

this is what a phlox should look like. Burgeoning, unsullied by herbivores. Living its best life. hashtag fucking blessed.

here's a healthy catnip which is flowering on all of its stalks, and which attracts birds and bees and other, less sexual, creatures to its blooms. There is a bunch of irrelevant shit in the background.

a tiny frog sits on a gatepost. I wish he'd go into the other garden, where he'd be able to fill up on regular-sized ants. To them, he'd be like a gigantic Frog of hideous proportions, wading amongst them, sowing carnage everywhere. Decades from now, ants would tell stories about the Frog of Doom which toppled a once-proud ant civilization, and sent ant culture down a precipitous decline from whence it has yet to recover. Woe unto those ants who laughed in the face of prudence, who scoffed at the idea of taking even the most basic anti-frog safety precautions. I mean, that's how it would have played out. But the frog went off in the other direction.

this is a, uh, balm of some sort, i think it's lemon balm. It's attracting pollinators of all kinds. Not sure if any of them happen to "bee" in the shot, however.

okay now theyre listening to adult-oriented contemporary post-emo which is maybe indistinguishable to me from a disney soundtrack. yeah, i know, i sound old and embittered. not sure what to do with the kids? just jack em into disney, let disney remain relevant by leveraging its perceived relevance.

im in the garden and there are children in the field out back, theyve been forced to listen to disney music, including the theme from the mickey mouse club. no wonder our society is going to hell. that odious, minstrelsy-adjacent Mouse

some creature in a tree on the "property" let out an extremely loud OUUUAAUWWRRGHHHK! noise. Never heard anything like that in my life. I think it was an owl, could be easily mistaken for a Toho kaiju. Unnerving and fascinating. I keep expecting hear the fisher, but this call sounded avian/saurian.

knowing your tastes and level of cinematic knowledge, and given the ones ive watched so far, could describe at least three of these movies... so the one youre talking about must be an absolute banger

ordered (on credit):

-spray paint, flat white
-two pairs of "normal" pliers (i find myself needing them, and two pairs is very convenient if you need to hold a thing at one end and turn a bolt on the other end simultaneously, if you know what i mean)
-pole saw
-wood filler
-chore boys (3)
-tahini

saw a coyote last night, and just now heard an unearthly commotion which i suspect was a coyote or coyotes vocalizing
