The amount of effort it takes just to live in a decent home that's cluttered but not dirty, keep the dishes clean, eat reasonably healthy food, stay in decent shape, keep up with the laundry, and maintain healthy cholesterol levels, is exhausting.

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

In 1987, Costa Rica was 21% forest. Today it's 57%.

In the 1990s, Costa Rica passed a law that pays landowners directly for the ecosystem services their forest provides: carbon storage, watershed protection, biodiversity, soil stability. The payments are funded by a tax on fossil fuels.

Keep your trees standing and the government cuts you a check. Clear them and you lose the income.

Nearly a million hectares have been protected or restored under the program. Species that had retreated or disappeared from large parts of the country are recovering. The forest came back because the incentive structure changed, not because people were told to care more.

But it crashed the economy, right? Not at all.

Costa Rica became the top per capita agricultural exporter in Latin America. Tourism built around its forests and biodiversity became one of its largest industries. The economy didn't absorb the cost of keeping the forest. The forest became part of what grows their economy.

This is the version of the story most people never hear, the one where protecting nature and economic growth pointed in the same direction because we humans designed it that way.

It's not forests or the economy and it never had to be.

It’s all made up and we can make it different.

Literally everyone deserves to go out for dinner, buy coffees, wear quality clothing and have fun experiences whilst also being able to afford rent, groceries, bills & have a little left over for savings no matter what job they do. Why is that so absurd to some people?

This is why they want you to forget about the Epstein files. There are dozens of girls just like her who were taken and sold into human trafficking. They’re probably not even alive anymore. What happened to these girls is beyond comprehension, and the people responsible are getting away with it.

MrBeast getting half a billion YouTube subs and Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire on the same day feels like a global humiliation ritual.

[Will Manidis @WillManidis]

we live in age of great moral panics about things that don’t matter and zero moral outrage over some of the most egregious societal sins we’ve ever seen

@NeonTheMeow oh, I took the op's "better" as a light-hearted joke, but I get what you mean

[isha @MibshaD]

me thinking about how many things were designed for men and we’re just expected to adjust

[Maryam @hell_line0]

seatbelts aren't designed for breasts.
Real blood wasn't used for period product testing until like 2023.
Female crash dummies weren't regularly used in crash tests until 2022.
Women are 30% more likely to die if her surgeon is a man.

Endometriosis affects 1 in 9 women yet it takes 10 years to diagnose nd there's more research done on male pattern baldness than endo.
nd endo studies consist of how attractive endo patients are to males...

sometimes i think about the absolute hell in which whales must live, enduring endless, inescapable machine noise from boats that also wrecks their ability to communicate with one another

@NeonTheMeow wait until you hear about omnisexuality

Only in a corporate media landscape does theft of food become a crisis, instead of people’s inability to afford food

[Thrilla the Gorilla @ThrillaRilla369]

A truly intelligent species wouldn’t poison its own drinking water, strip away its topsoil, drive wildlife populations into decline, and create chronic illness through the very food system it depends on.

[femiiiiii. @femiiiszn]

i hope the next global trend will be empathy and critical thinking.

Your 20s are meant to have fun and your 30s too, your 40s, 50s and so on, we’re meant to live a full life regardless of age (:

@tweedie45 they really don't
