but have you ever even heard of the fynbos biome ?!!?!?!?!
a biome so unique in south africa that it’s earned an entirely new biome classification for itself. so many plants are endemic to this area, and ofc it’s under threat of extinction.
It’s a wonderful place! I had the privilege of visiting the fynbos last year and it was as amazing as these photos show and more!
I refuse to believe that it’s because you don’t care.
I think it’s because you’re afraid to care.
You’d have to acknowledge that it is that bad, that you and everyone you love could wind up permanently disabled or dead at any time, and that all of our lives have been permanently changed by going through a(nother) mass traumatizing event.
Covid caution is intersectional praxis in action. Acting like covid is over just serves the status quo. Make the right choice. Stand by your politics instead of for nothing.
I do think I want kids and I’ve been thinking about kids a lot and I think one of the scarier parts of it is navigating gender. I’m not too concerned about raising strong and empathetic boys who respect women because it seems pretty easy, you show them Grace Jones as a child. All the strong and empathetic boys I know who respect women have mentioned being very impressed by Grace Jones at a young age. Raising daughters is scarier because you don’t want to control them but it also seems really important to keep them away from creepy older men who will invariably try to groom them into being some sort of sex object, from what I’ve seen this is very effective at derailing a woman’s life for 5-20 years if she falls into it. I think showing the daughters Grace Jones probably helps with that, because she has so much inherent dignity in her demeanor, her beauty is almost an afterthought which is the way it should be for women. Non-binary kids I don’t know too much about because the cultural scripts aren’t super developed for that yet but I figure you probably have to let the child direct you, and show them Grace Jones.
remember to cry for help without guilt-tripping. i know it feels like you’ve been abandoned and betrayed, but it’s probably not true, and it’s not okay to accuse the people around you of something they might not have done.
“i guess none of you like me” could be better phrased as “i feel unloved right now”
“but nobody cares anyway” could be better phrased as “i feel insignificant and i need reassurance”
rather than assuming others’ feelings, give them time to explain them. you’ll usually get a much better answer.
This is really important for future predictions, too. “You’re eventually going to leave me” is impossible for someone else to disprove without just sticking around forever, but no one wants to stick around when they’re being constantly accused of future abandonment. Giving someone no choice but to either stay with you forever in order to prove you wrong or leave you and prove you right is incredibly emotionally manipulative, whether you mean it to be or not.
“I get scared sometimes because I’m afraid of being alone again” is easier to address and doesn’t leave your partner(s)/friend(s) feeling as though they’re being preemptively accused of something.
they made a GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who murdered Renee Good.
scroll to the bottom of the page to report the fundraiser, and list this reason:
“Under 5 CFR § 2635.202(b), ‘an employee may not, directly or indirectly, accept a gift given because of the employee’s official position.’ This fundraiser directly violates that federal statute as it is raising funds explicitly because of the beneficiary’s actions while on duty as an ICE agent, which makes him an employee of the Executive Branch. Disbursement of these funds to the named beneficiary would violate federal law.”
My account is still blocked from searching/tags/etc on my business blog @foundfamilyadventurecrafts so I’m posting this here. There’s something very bad happening with Small Business, Tech, and Amazon. What else is new?
Hey, that’s us and a bunch of our friends! This whole thing SUCKS so bad and we’re pissed. We’ve intentionally not listed our products on Amazon for the 15 years we’ve been in business. We’re ready to join a class action lawsuit and kick some ass.
