“When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can’t eat money.”

The Rice’s whale, a species of whale only just named and recognized in 2021. This 12 meter, 20 ton giant is on the verge of extinction with only around 33 individuals left and the lifting of environmental protections in the interest of oil might just doom them fully.

I repeat, you *can* demand preemptive bans on corporate surveillance price manipulation before it gets entrenched.

we live on a planet where trees warn each other of danger through underground networks. where octopuses dream. where elephants return to the bones of their dead and stand over them in silence. where bees communicate through dance, showing each other where to fly. where flowers bloom...where crows remember human faces -especially those who were cruel to them - and pass that memory on to their young. where ants build entire cities. where cats purr at a frequency that can help heal bones. where forests, after fires, grow flowers first.

Civilization was built by people like this, and there is a stunning lack of gratitude in our culture for their work.

In this specific case, at least half of the apple varieties in Brown’s collection were considered “lost” until he personally tracked them down and saved them.

He literally went on quests where he did things like, tracking a lost variety back to a stump of a long-ago-cut-down tree near an abandoned homestead in remote Appalachia, took cuttings from the green shoots coming out of the stump, brought them back and planted them.

Absolute legend.

They’re calling social media managers “growth engineers” now, she’s 100% spot on with this analysis

@aakashgupta Crazy this is like the most cited sleep deprivation study considering it’s underpowered to detect sex differences. It’s also from 2003 which people should absolutely be aware of

"Jesus, Paul, look at this receipt—ten dollars for a single potato. This new Value-Mart AI surge pricing is killing me, man. Killing me."

“That’s nothing, Bill. Wait ’til the next update: the store will be able to see exactly how much money you have in your bank.”

“You’re kidding.”

“And your 401k.”

“@#$% me sideways.”

“That’s why I use URCHN to do my groceries.”

“Really? What’s URCHN?”

“URCHN is the latest in affordable concierge shopping.”

“Oh, you mean like Uber or Instacart. What makes them different?”

“Orphans.”

“𝑂𝑟𝑝ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑠?”

“That’s right, Bill. And not just any orphans. Dirty, starving orphans who live under overpasses.”

“Uuuh.”

“As you know, the cameras in the grocery aisle scan your face and adjust the price based on race, socioeconomic status, and dietary restrictions. But you know who always gets the best prices, no matter what?”

“…orphans?”

“Yep.”

“I don’t know, Paul, that seems a little-”

“Of course, the AI still discriminates based on race, which is why they send a multi-racial team of no less than four dirty orphans to buy your groceries.”

"Um."

“The Latino child buys your rice, and the Asian child buys your tortillas.”

“Yeah, no, I get it.”

“And the black child-”

“Sorry, uh, these are children, right? Small children?”

“Of course. Teens would raise the price.”

“How do they, uh, reach the items on the top shelves?”

“They stand on each other’s emaciated little shoulders.”

"Jesus."

"Yeah, the Hispanic orphan tends to be on the bottom."

"What?"

"Sturdy stock."

“…and how much do you save?”

“My last potato was 34 cents.”

“#$&@ it, I’m in.”

@ladyblodeuwedd @BloomsburyBooks Going to Israel and giving baked goods to the IOF with your holocaust survivor grandma years ago does not make you a Zionist. I’m 100% pro Palestine and always have been but that is a crazy take that delegitimizes instances of actual zionism

[💕 Doll Face✨ @smoke_nd_pearlz]

Yup. He’s up to 11 pounds. They have to transfer him to another hospital for because the current hospital he’s at cannot meet his complex needs. The family is 100% responsible for the cost even tho the state forced them to keep that poor woman “alive” as a human incubator.

No news outlet is covering this, you know why? Because the fucking experiment on a black woman’s body has FAILED miserably. The only updates are from grandma’s go fund me. They let that woman die for a clump of cells (she was only 9 weeks pregnant at the time) that’s not even doing ok 6 months later. 6 months is a long time to be in nicu!

Adriana Smith is her name. I am so sorry the state did this to you. You were a 30 year old nurse with a kid who was already here who needed you. The state failed you, the very hospital that you worked at who was so supposed to help you failed you…everybody failed you.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨UN-F*CKING BELIEVABLE Republicans are hoping that the shutdown goes through November so MILLIONS of Americans could lose their food assistance programs.

And guess what Trump is doing at the SAME time?

He’s eliminating Hunger data so
We don’t know who is starving!!!!
