She was kissed before she knew her name.
She was in a relationship before she knew what clothes she liked.
Her boyfriend needed his bestfriend's help to tell her that he loved her.
I love Mike. I love El.
But I don't like their relationship.
And even in her last moments he couldn’t tell her he loved her back. Oh Jane you deserve so much more. 🙁
So just so we're all clear ICE straight up murdered that woman in broad daylight and the government is calling HER the terrorist

It’s crazy that countries on the edge of the Sahara desert are reversing desertification by just digging half circles
The ground in these places is too compact for water to soak in during wet season which leads to flooding but digging these holes gives the water a place to stop and soak in. And they’re pushing back the desert with this. By just digging holes.
The new plants also help even more water soak into the ground which reduces flooding even more.
These places also give people places to grow food and graze animals like people are turning completely dry compact desert into a refuge for wildlife and plants and solving regional food insecurity just by digging holes.
The half-circles are called zaï! They're a traditional farming practice in the Sahel desert, and their introduction + reintroduction can be largely credited to Yacouba Sawadogo, the man linked above! He reintroduced and innovated on the zaï on his own farm in the 1980s, and did extensive outreach (along with scientist Mathieu Ouédraogo) to encourage other farmers to adopt them as well.
He also promoted the use of cordons pierreux, which are basically just lines of rocks to reduce erosion, preserve sediments, and increase water absorption.
Immensely cool dude. He's been a personal hero since I learned about him.
Fuck deforestation!! All my homies love the half circles!!! Mr. Sawadogo, we salute you!!
would you still love me if we were Same-Gendered Best Friends who are the main characters of a Piece of Media, in which I have been deeply in love with you ever since we met, but you already have an Opposite-Gendered Alleged Love Interest whom you don't love, so, even though The Audience is aware that there's something special going on between us, they overlook it as platonic love, even though, at least in my case, it is glaringly obvious that I feel deeply for you, however, since you have your assigned Alleged Love Interest, they don't assume the same is true in your case, even if it's as clear, or even more so, that my feelings are reciprocated by you, thus, I just seem like a desperate Homosexual Same-Gendered Best Friend with a one-sided crush, and even if our Creator wanted to make us end up together, this wouldn't be possible, given the fact that the only socially acceptable way to have queer people being protagonists in a piece of media is if it solely narrates their experiences and hardships as Existing Homosexuals, explicitly announcing that it contains queer topics and nothing else, and since our Piece Of Media narrates a different story that doesn't revolve around homosexuality, The Audience doesn't agree with our relationship being a fundamental part of the plot, consequently we end up being doomed by a cishet narrative that minimizes us as characters and inaccurately represents queer people, thereby giving visibility to harmful stereotypes about the lgbtq community, and also disappointing thousands of our fans who just hoped to see people like them having a complex relationship in a piece of media like our Piece Of Media for once?
would you?
“Big Pharma” okay are we talking about how privatization and monetization has deeply corrupted the field of medicine or are you talking about how you think chemicals in the water are making the frogs gay
“GMOs”? Are we talking seeds that grow sterile plants and patenting genetic modifications then destroying any competition no matter how small they are? Or are we talking life saving rice with vitamin a to make sure kids don’t go blind in regions not suited for other high vit a veg? … or are we talking about your chidoodle?
Conversely, “alternative medicines”? Are we talking the traditional practices of non-Western societies which have an ancient history of being the cultural tools that allowed communities to take care of the health of their members and are nowadays rigorously studied within these communities to adapt them to the needs of the contemporary life, and can offer important prompts to modern medicine? Or are we talking about a white woman who traveled to India twice, followed a five-hour seminar and knows everything about inner energies now

"After ten thousand years I rise again to destroy the kingdom of..." "It's gone." "I beg your pardon?" "The kingdom. It lasted like... I think around twenty-three years after you got sealed?" "Well... This is awkward... Still! No one will be able to stop me now!" "We have nuclear weapons now."
"No mortal blade can harm me!"
"Dude, we stopped using blades for warfare a long time ago. How about you sit yourself down and take up beekeeping instead."

"In that case, let me bring up a list of billionaires who are destroying the world, and we'll see about finding you a new target."

One time I was leaving a friend's place and an older lady with basically no English came up to me and communicated that she was very cold and needed a ride. She pointed to tell me where to go.
I got there and her daughter or granddaughter came out and was like omg her phone died we were worried
And then the older lady said something and the younger lady translated.
"She knew she could trust you because you have pink hair"
I thought it was funny at the time. But when I think back on it I think she was basically saying "you had a visible sign of not vibing with the system I was afraid of"
Be weird. Be colorful. Help random people.

I've been laughing about the Mark Hamill gaygay tweet for six hours
Ben grinding his teeth over this might be the funniest thing I've seen in years. Bro. You're seething over the Mark Hamill gaygay tweet.
Is nobody else going to mention the fact that Mark signs his name as Mar Camel???

I do not want the ai overview. I want to read six wikipedia pages as god intended.
I finally donated to Wikipedia this year. I usually donate to something more "food for children", but it's different now. We can't lose it.

Y'know, to me "lost media" means "no known physical copies exist and it can't be pirated anywhere", not just "currently unavailable for streaming"
A file you can just find and download with minimal issue if you're computer literate isn't lost, actually. It's endangered, and it will be lost if nobody bothers to learn how to do this stuff, but it's not lost yet.
you are fifteen thousand generations removed from stone tools
to be clear you are fifteen thousand generations removed from the invention of stone tools. not from the end of stone tools. modern humans are still using stone tools.

So I just made a joke that "more women should poison their husbands" to my cool boss and then immediately found out that he got divorced because he was poisoned by his ex-wife
I'm apologizing profusely and he's like "oh it's fine it was funny" and then he offhandedly mentions that his next girlfriend tried to poison him also
