when I was like 14 I used to reblog these posts on here that were like “YOUR 20S ARE NOT AN IMAGINARY RACE YOURE DOING JUST FINE!!” just to be positive towards my older mutuals even though i didn’t really get what they were abour and I’d be in the tags like “#so true!! #everyone does things at their own pace!!” and now im 24 I’m thinking back to it and it’s like Oh of course the imaginary race. Which I’m losing
“If you look only at the trend of species declines, it would be easy to think that we’re failing to protect biodiversity, but you would not be looking at the full picture,” said Penny Langhammer, lead author of the study and Executive Vice President of Re:wild. “What we show with this paper is that conservation is, in fact, working to halt and reverse biodiversity loss. It is clear that conservation must be prioritized and receive significant additional resources and political support globally, while we simultaneously address the systemic drivers of biodiversity loss, such as unsustainable consumption and production.”
This massive meta analysis (for those not familiar, a study analyzing the results of many studies on similar topics) found that the vast majority of conservation efforts show much much better results than doing nothing. In many cases, biodiversity loss was not only stopped but reversed.
This shows that conservation efforts really work and money invested is put to very good use. Legally protecting endangered species really works, restoring habitat really works, removing invasive species really works, returning land to Indigenous communities works. All of the blood, sweat, and tears being poured into protecting the natural world has been making a real, big, tangible, difference on a global scale.
To my fellow white people: this is not about it being an annoying way to “censor” the word and that isn’t how it caught on or what it was for. Writing “ahh” instead of “ass” became a meme because it’s supposed to sound like a “black guy accent.”
Remember that one disney channel movie where the kid found out his mom’s family were all leprechauns and he was half-leprechaun and he had to beat an evil leprechaun in a set of three challenges with the condition that the evil one would be banished to “The land of my father, on the shores of Erie” if he lost. And then the kid won and the evil leprechaun was like “joke’s on you, once I return to Ireland I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine; by the way, it’s pronounced ‘Eire’!”
And the kid goes “No, no. I said what I meant. My dad’s from Cleveland. You are going to Ohio.”
Luck of the Irish. Ryan Coogler said it was a “touchpoint” for Sinners. Cinema is a rich tapestry.
