Thinking of everyone in Jamaica today, even my sister-in-law (we don't get along). Not much to do now except watch and pray and get ready to send help once the hurricane departs. #HurricaneMelissa

I'm posting from Walmart because Spouse refuses to tell their glamorous & busy older sister "Sorry I'm in walmart let me call you back." Anyway I saw this

"Green capitalism will never facilitate the scale of action that is necessary to keep warming below 1.5ºC or even 2ºC because it refuses to take on the powerful people and industries that are fueling the climate crisis in the first place. It continues to ensure the benefits flow to the top while hollowing out the middle class and producing climate narratives that shift the burden of responsibility onto those who have little power to make the necessary changes: the public, if not the global poor."

Reminds me of the book that just came out about who burned the Bronx. Born In Flames by Bench Ansfield.

h/t @fkamiah17 for the article

I made a toad friend the other day
:)

The word "bolus" doesn't get enough attention as one of the more disturbing words in the English language. It seems fine until you learn what it means and then you realize it's an onomatopoeia.

@Toxic_Flange #Alt4You: a comic book style image of Sarah Conner looking exhausted and pissed off as she smokes a cigarette. Caption: "SARAH CONNER WATCHING YOU USE AI FOR EVERYTHING"

I finally found an excellent image editor for my android, one that has no AI and respects privacy! And guess what, it's open source. It's called "Image Toolbox" and it's customizable according to which tools you use the most and has an instant "remove metadata" button.

Names for girls/women that just mean "girl/woman":

-Donna (Italian, woman)

-Colleen (Gaelic, woman)

Any others?

ETA: not Regina. Got it confused with ragazza

Fuck, I got a #FF shout-out from Bread and Circuses. Better do that intro I've been meaning to (re) do! Hello, new followers! :heart_pride:

Who am I: a lady, a bitch, a woman, a human. Cisgender, queer, white. Living in New York, where I was born, but I have traveled. Doing my best to support my Darling Nonbinary Spouse in their challenges being one of very few Black people in our community. Currently working as a drafter of soil/water conservation infrastructure. Before that, I bounced around a lot. Did construction and childcare and food service and data entry and more.

What you can expect from me: PLENTY boosts. I see it, I like it, I boost. Regular posts about #ClimateChange, #Degrowth, #GreenBuilding, and related topics. Commentary about social justice. Some news, but more opinion, about USA and NYS politics. I tag these (USpol/NYpol), but don't CW them. Edit: almost forgot to mention: I'm an anarchist apparently (I had to look it up) and I hate capitalism.

Other, less weighty stuff I like to talk about: #music of any genre. I'm developing the desire to become a DJ and collect vinyl, somebody stop me! #Crochet and fiber arts. #SciFi, #SpecFic. Not a skilled shitposter but I do appreciate the art form.

Fair warning: I like to argue. If you don't enjoy seeing someone go back and forth with mildly offensive bootlickers from time to time, I may not be your cup of tea. And don't worry about my mental health WRT arguments, to my brain a good argument is a lot like a good video game.

That's my #introduction! Ask me anything.

Them: it's not that deep

Me:

My cat's nose fits inside my nostril. I learned this against my will

So my mom discovered that the local SPCA has a "dog library"--where you can "check out" a dog and take them for a walk or a hike and then bring them back. She's been doing this on hikes with a friend of hers. She really is making the most of her retirement.

Mark Zuckerberg went to Svalbard on his massive superyacht that spews more greenhouse gases in a day than most people do in a year. He got a cold reception.

Hey fyi

You can go to radiooooo.com (that's 5 o's), look at the world map, select a country, select a decade, and then listen to music from that time and place. For free. No ads. No idea how or why but it exists. Check it out!

Edit: you should also know that radio.garden gives access to currently airing radio stations. I am not familiar, but several people have endorsed it. Nice to have options!

Last edit, promise.

P.S. Hearthis.at and Mixcloud.com if you're interested in following DJs & listening to their mixes. Both pros and amateurs.

@paninid why doe urine specifically? To make them irresistible to excited bucks?
