By 2028. They will forget 2025-2027, and 2017-2021. And COVID. And January 6th. And the gas prices. And the grocery prices. And the food recalls + high grocery prices. And the unnecessary pet projects. And the War in Iran.
Last year I saw a video of a Palestinian father frantically carrying the dismembered remains of his child’s body in a plastic shopping bag, desperately trying to get them to a hospital
I just want to point out… the amount of money the U.S. has spent on war in the last 2.5 months is roughly the same cost that Bernie Sanders proposed for universal college. So the real question is never ‘can we afford it’… it’s what we choose to prioritize.
"It's biodegradable" isn't the point. An orange peel tossed on a trail is the first step in getting a hiker attacked and a bear killed.
The peel won't break down fast, for one. A citrus rind can sit for months in dry conditions, years at high altitude. If you're in a temperate forest or the desert, nothing there is designed to preferentially decompose an orange peel.
But the real problem isn't the decomposition, but what it teaches local wildlife.
A bear that finds food where people were learns that the smell of people means food. It comes back and approaches the next group. It works its way through parking lots and campsites and eventually somebody's porch.
That's called food conditioning, and once the bear has learned it, it will not unlearn it no matter what we do.
A relocated bear usually returns to its original territory or becomes a problem in its new territory. Then it gets killed. Many wildlife agencies now skip the relocation step and go straight for culling.
Rangers have a phrase for it: a fed bear is a dead bear. The bear didn't do anything wrong, nor did the unsuspecting hiker it learned to approach. But the orange peel left on the trail was the first step in putting the two on a crash course.
Preventing this outcome happens every time you pack out what you pack in.
Republicans want to make it illegal for children to speak to doctors and teachers without their consent because they are worried about what the kids will say.
Ai sinceramente sem querer ser insensível mas não sei pq todo ano lembram desse troço como se tivesse sido a coisa mais hedionda que já aconteceu na Terra. Há literalmente pessoas palestinas sendo bombardeadas pelos eua agora e ninguém se comove nesse tanto.
It’s only fuck trump bc their lives are now being impacted NEGATIVELY bc lets be honest hes never impacted their lives positively other than the joy they got out of seeing the suffering of others bc they’re terrible human beings.
So men with charges of domestic violence can sit on a jury, but women who are sexually assaulted are dismissed because they must be biased?
Wow. Almost like the entire justice system is set up to protect men who rape and beat their wives.
columbine happened 2 months before I was born. I was 2 when 9/11 happened. we’ve been fighting pointless wars my entire life. covid took away my early 20s. my tax dollars are funding genocide. our generation really has endured a lot. I hate when people try to say we have it easy
Gas is $5. People are mean (and disgusting). Netflix and Disney+ and HBO and whatever else is now $25 each. Half of us developed an alcohol sensitivity from repeated covid infections but a drink out would be $15 minimum anyway. It’s 107 degrees. There’s glass in the popsicles.
