For ppl who aren't aware:
Old temperate forests are insanely rare nowadays and extremely important ecosystems lost forever once cut.
They're not just "old trees" but intricate networks of trees, fungi and all kinds of living creatures.
You CANNOT replant this!! Once it's gone it's lost FOREVER!!!

This is bad news for everyone in the South, and really bad news for low-income trans folks. The surgeons getting pushed out of university hospitals will move to private practice and while SOME people will still get trans surgeries covered by insurance, those on Medicaid won’t.

I'm having trouble logging into my Squarespace account. So much for working on the SNL reviews.

His two SNL episodes are pretty solid.

ppl flee'ing war zones tend to migrate.

we cause that migration then we complain about the immigrants and refugees.

The Hollywood Handle tweet: McKenna Grace reveals she never ate a burger, pepperoni pizza, nor a chicken wing before. “It’s not that there’s no desire. It’s just that I want it to be the right burger!” (Via: @Mythical) Pictures of McKenna Grace, a pizza, and a burger

Americans describing a burger: Imagine purity culture.

Hegseth being an alcoholic, abusive shitbag is *exactly* why Wilson’s ideology is catnip; it’s a story about why Hegseth-type-dudes are not simply awesome, but *morally superior* by virtue of their cruelty and willingness to abuse.

Today is Disability Day of Mourning.

People with disabilities are far more likely to be trapped in abusive relationships.

To be killed.

To be assaulted.

We’re forced into legislated poverty & made to be dependent on people who don’t always have our best interests at heart.

Cannot emphasize enough that one of the best ways to understand our current political reality is to read Dave Cullen's book "Columbine."

It unpacks the moral panic, the right wing propaganda, the media complicity, toxic masculinity, etc.

So many parallels to what we are seeing right now.

Random #SNL thought: I wonder which writers and performers from the Doumanian and Ebersol eras would have had greater success if they were on the show when Lorne Michaels was producing (not including the handful that were).

White Christian Nationalism hates authentic joy.

Fun fact: bridge toll removal and 1% HST reduction cost us appx $300 million.

All of the devastating cuts in the current budget?

$300 million.

Is your 1% HST cut worth the loss of tourism, arts & culture, educational quality and wildlife conservation in NS?

No matter what’s happening out there, kindness is always worth practicing.

2. technology. I am a Xennial. I remember talking to a then friend who was firmly gen X and he didn't have email until his first job. Like after college. He registered for classes IN PERSON. I got email when I was like 14.

I had campus wide wifi by the time I graduated, and registered online

The two things that I think REALLY separate Millennials and Gen X, are

1. Gen X was born into a declining world - that's what undergirds their stereotypical cynicism. But Millennials were came of age during an upswing. Only to have every good thing systemically taken away from them.

Everyone skips past the 02 financial crisis because 09 was so bad.

But depending on how you parse millenial...it's been bad for awhile but also the worst bit is they grew up during a period where things were getting better and then got the rug pulled out from under them.

the incentives here are so obscenely terrible that the entire thing should be illegal by default

“I am sabotaging negotiations because I stand to make piles of money on Polymarket” is absolutely in play, what a horrifying clusterfuck

This is not a productive thought but I would like to build hell and put all these fucking freaks inside it.

I'm tired of the world being held prisoner by a death cult.

This is disgusting. Rationalizing the bombing of a school that reportedly killed 108 girls.

But since she asked,

"Currently, 161 public schools operate on military installations across the United States."

You know what's sexy? Believing everyone has the right to bodily autonomy.

Lionel Hutz from the simpsons editing a business card which reads "PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST - NO MORE FOREVER WAR" to read "PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST? NO, MORE FOREVER WAR"

As I was saying earlier today.

The warmongering bible bashers see this kind of thing as hastening the End Times. Which, in case it isn’t obvious, they want to happen.

Because they’re in a doomsday cult.

US-Israeli strike on girls' school kills at least 85 students, Iran's judiciary says At least 85 students have been killed in US-Israeli strikes that hit an Iranian girls' school in Hormozgan province, Iran's judiciary said on Saturday. Washington has not commented on the reported str...

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

It's been a long ass week, hasn't it?
