cmon man me and the boys are hitting the wetlands after work. its 98 degrees, there's bugs, only 45 minutes of sunlight left and a storm is looming. you gotta pull up bro
I’ve explained to people the reason cradle Catholics like me can’t stand converts is that they bring their former (usually) evangelical BS to our rituals & completely reject “good works” which is a core tenet of Catholicism that makes us social justice minded which they reject
it's wild that the catholic church is like the only institution fighting back now. the press is in the tank for trump, the courts nerfed them selves (thanks john roberts), but the fucking catholics are pulling out the big guns
@JGrossund@bethpratt In federal land management, it’s typical to spend a long time in temporary status before landing permanent jobs. I was a temporary with fs for 8 years . I’m currently* a probationary fire dozer operator with 18 years of experience and 4.5 creditable years in the agency.
@amonthei jobs flown at times when no one would apply unless they were told in advance that they were going to be flown - typically this is a way to skirt the centralized hiring system/limit candidate pool/avoid hiring preferences etc
@OracleofBlueSky @SaraGoeking I would challenge you to prove that as well. I know this is true in my local area but I would have no way of generating accurate qualitative data in either direction- my line of questioning is because I would really like to have that data.
@SaraGoeking Was there any control for areas that were logged prior to designation as wilderness? Also were did the data come from for where wilderness areas are? I couldn’t find anything in the references.
@GrumpyUncleSean What is your reference or rational for the statement that there has been no logging in currently designated wilderness areas considered in this study? I was unable to find backup for this statement in the article.
@wildland_zko@Hotshot_Movie I’m on fair plan now but I’m positioning to self insure asap because the cost vs coverage doesn’t pen out for me.
Honestly I see a lot of insurance companies leaving money on the table because they don’t want to insure homes- even if it’s a really good bet.
@wildland_zko@Hotshot_Movie It’s a good thought but I’m p sure the insurance companies don’t think that hard about it- really I think they reject wildland risks because they don’t understand them. I purposely selected my property because of my perception of low fire risk and was still dropped.

@bethpratt@Allstate I did everything my Allstate agent asked for (including selling my favorite car cause they thought it was ‘junk’) and was still sent to ca fair plan for fire hazard- doubled my rate. I think self insuring is the only answer at this point in the california market.
Affirmative action is an essential tool to implementing equity. Trying to diversify workforces without it is like trying to put out a house fire without water.
We should not need #AffirmativeAction. But we do. Because racism, particularly anti-Black racism, persists in our systems, policies, and institutions.
Until we change that, decision-makers must be made to make equitable decisions.
The #SupremeCourt ruling prevents that mandate.
