Nice. Unfortunately I think the same devaluation of vegetation/ disconnect from the ecosystem drives the cognitive dissonance around calling it a poisoning as much as it drove this asshole to poison/kill trees. Is it poison if it’s frogs? We need trees and frogs. Again, not a glyphosate hit-piece.

Reading comprehension check, Mike. Is this a hit-piece on agrochemicals, or does it merely acknowledge them as the method of action in this crime? Then on the personal side, I think it’s telling that you find the phraseology “emotive” but the destruction of these trees doesn’t make you emotional.

Rent unaffordable, wages miserable, politicians asslicking for nimby developers and the corporate lobby and doing nothing to revitalize community or retain local business… Why do anything about it when you can bitch about it online, eh? I’m a lifelong resident, grow a heart and a set of balls.

Real clever. People are concerned bc 1) demand outstrips repletion, 2) aquifers repletion can take centuries 3) muscling in on surface water rights deprives farmers, citizens, and the ecosystem, 4) treated water wastes energy and chemical resources. Not a balanced input/output, educate yourself.

Oregon asks for emergency measures to save salmon in Columbia, Snake rivers from extinction The Columbia River Basin once sustained 10 to 16 million salmon and steelhead annually. Today, over a third of those populations are extinct and many are at imminent risk of disappearing.

The Insatiable Energy Demands of Data Centers Could Increase Fossil Fuel Emissions in California By 2030, the centers could consume the equivalent of adding another city the size of L.A. to the state’s power grid.

NEW INVESTIGATION

California predicts data centers will consume as much power as adding another LA to grid by 2030

A utility anticipates additional emissions equal to 21 gas plants

Some environmentalists see reducing gas power as “a lot less likely” due to AI capitalandmain.com/the-insatiab...

been thinking a lot about this holy scripture lately

Fox Mulder from X-Files saying “Hey, you got to stay alive if you want to stick it to the government”

“If you die, you let them off the hook.”

Needed this reminder today.

Jesus fucking Christ.

The biggest mistake I see in discussions of trans people's healthcare is the idea that hormones and the like are some special service just for us when really all kinds of people access the same health care for all kinds of reasons but they are *withheld* from us because we are trans

Cis Americans, if you do one single thing today please let it be to contact your representative. You have no idea how many US trans people I follow who are freaked the fuck out

And for everyone else, if America does it, your country will use America as an example of how they can do it too. Speak up

I knew they were anemones right away dw! Also very luminous colors chosen for them, very enchanting effect they give off :) trying to resist the call of my craft box now (too much paperwork today to be able to justify it)

My new job conflicts with the obgyn appointment I’ve had booked for 6 months with the only trans male practitioner in the city. Can’t get a different appt b4 my coverage changes. Guess I get to do my pap with a mystery obgyn who’s going to put “abnormal clitoris” in my chart

John Waters standing beside a wall with a sign that says: The John Waters Restrooms. All Gender. Not my photo.

In 2000, John Waters donated 372 pieces of his art collection to the Baltimore Museum of Art. They named a rotunda after him in their gallery. He requested an all-gender restroom be named for him instead. #BOTD

This is your reminder to set up an appointment with a physical therapist. That wait list isn’t going to get any shorter if you’re not on it. Take it from a guy who said “three months is a long wait” for three years; it took a week to start seeing improvement. You deserve to manage your pain.

Was feeling like dogshit but hope was restored after watching an old lady walking her tinydog call out to a mid 30s emo guy tooling around on his bmx bike about an injured squirrel she wanted him to save. He stopped immediately, asked “where?” and then zoomed off to find it. Ig he’s Known for this.

Anyway I think this sniping at tguys is driven by the assumption that someone can be too much of a man to be meaningfully queer. Apropos of nothing: I’m off to till my mother’s garden and contemplate the parts of myself I censor in order to have someone to drive me to urgent care when I need it.

What really chaps my ass about this is that you don’t stop needing a ride to the doctor, a job that honors your right to the same $ and protections as cis people, or a caregiver and accessible housing when you get old. Zine admin can live in fantasy land ig, but real people have real needs.

queerness isn’t conditionally awarded upon rejection of masculinity, tguys have complex relationships to our bodies and presentations, we shouldn’t have to call parts of ourselves “feminine” to be present in community, femininity doesn’t make us “not men”, and masculinity doesn’t make us “not queer”

And while cis people do this bs the most, other trans people are not immune to it. See “women and femmes.” Maybe you can make the tenuous case that your miraculous passing tguy straw man doesn’t need community access (Google systemic discrimination real quick) but most of us don’t fit that bill.

Funny how (it’s not funny at all) how the majority of “theory” about trans guys that’s proposed by folks that aren’t trans guys operates on some magical presupposition that the guy in their theory passes, has zero experiences that differ from a cis man’s, and is cismale in behavior or presentation.

Searching for worthwhile informal/community Queer publications is a needle in a haystack endeavor because pubs that aren’t anodyne and puerile post shit like “masculinity is broadly rewarded.” Stop, do not pass go, do not collect $250, sentenced to 5yrs peer review from butches and trans men.

And trans people. I wish even one news publication would mention us when talking about this stupid act.
