What you want:
A gay person cannot fire someone for being a Christian, but a Christian can fire someone for being gay.

What I want:
A gay person cannot fire someone for being a Christian, a Christian cannot fire someone for being gay.

“How’s it all going?”

British answer: “Yeah, not bad. You?”

Honest answer: “I don’t have a clue what I’m doing and constantly pretending otherwise leaves me exhausted. You?”

No one is coming to save us.

There is no benign authority preserving us from harm.

The time of waiting for someone else to act is over.

The time for action has begun.

Ok: about this whole “she’s being used” thing.

Limiting global warming to 1.5 °C will minimise some major environmental impacts. How can we stay below this threshold?

[Jackie French @jackie_french_]

I may be just a lyrebird, but would I lie to you
& say that global warming simply wasn't true?
That all that science is chatter?
That truth no longer matters?
It's humans, not lyrebirds,who destroy the world with greed
They're liar birds indeed.
