Swamp monster trying her best

I’m just trying my best (she/her)

I sat down to write and my pen exploded into several pieces. If that doesn’t summarize my literary career so far I don’t know what else does

big reminder that no matter how much you take care of yourself you can still end up disabled. we’re the only minority group that anyone can end up joining at any given moment in their life and WILL join if you live long enough. disability/chronic illness isn’t a moral failing.

Canadian politics has devolved into a race to build as much fossil fuel infrastructure before the public catches onto the fact that the world is moving on from fossil fuels

Ethan Hawke explains why having children doesn't automatically make you a more compassionate person

"I know so many people who have children who are some of the least empathetic people I've ever witnessed in my life"

"So the idea of having children is this kind of great compassion creator um.."

"And there's a lot of people out there in this world who don't have children who are unbelievably compassionate"

"And being a parent sometimes makes people incredibly selfish, they see their children as an extension of themselves"

"I had a cab driver the other days say, you know the best thing about my son, it's like wait, looks just like me"

"Oh God, that's the best thing about your son I mean but you hear that kind of thing all the time"

Back when I was working as a Climate Change Adaptation Specialist, one of the most horrifying facts I can never forget is that even if we somehow stopped all emissions today, global warming will continue for ~40 years before things stabilize at a temperature higher than normal.

this is why i find the conversation around people pleasers supposedly being manipulative & spineless to be flat, reductive, harmful, & ultimately unhelpful. displeasing people can & DOES lead to consequences that disproportionately affects neurodivergent people.

It’s really hard coming to terms with the fact that I’m 28 and having to mourn the life that I envisioned and literally nothing going to plan and feeling like I’m running out of time

[kate♿️ @kateisresting]

yes its called neoliberalism. the libs and cons in this country are both neoliberal parties who support capital over everything else

[Blue Raspberry Grower @notthatkhalid]

There’s a special brand of climate denial that’s ubiquitous in Canada. Yes it “believes the science” but doesn’t believe that climate change will have any of the catastrophic impacts that scientists have warned about for decades.

[Rachel Gilmore @atRachelGilmore]

This is what the entire video is intended to couch.

It’s the only part that matters.

“We can’t afford to restrain the growth of an important part of our energy mix, oil and gas, to meet a short term goal,” Carney said.

“Our emissions will be higher in the next few years”

I don't know how to say this gently, but if you think that it's even POSSIBLE for the climate to *improve* in your lifetime… uhh…

Okay, let's say humans and factories and power plants suddenly blinked out of existence today

First, temperatures would immediately increase…

how is everyone just going to work and surviving like there’s not a worldwide feeling of impending doom from variables completely out of everyones control

i just realized what armand is missing in episode 4. the ipad that makes you evil.

“It didn’t have to be this way” really, truly, deeply being the theme of the 2020s

"the government should be run like a business" is an all time classic of stuff that incredibly dumb people think sounds smart to say

[David Madden @davidjmadden]

No one is compelled to become a landlord; but millions of New Yorkers are compelled to be tenants. So when weighing up the trade-offs, the only question that should be relevant is what's best for tenants. Investors should invest in some other sector if they don't like the rules.

[David Madden @davidjmadden]

All of the "won't anyone think about the poor landlords???" discourse, of which this tweet is perhaps the most ridiculous example, seems to skip over two fundamental facts about landlordism: it is both inherently risky and completely voluntary

[Val for Nevada 🌹🇵🇸 @ValforNevada]

Landlords threatening tenants with poor habitability as punishment for winning a rent freeze is just more evidence that we need stronger habitability laws too
