Me watching some high fantasy shit: I would simply not be corrupted by the magical object. If it is actively harming you why don’t you just put it down. Idiot

@amyhuntindallas @lilymanx @MoNscience saying "masks don't work" when they meant "we need masks for HCWs" set the precedent that it's fine to lie to the public if it's in our best interests. it definitely made me take everything said via official channels with a grain of salt.
@shaun_vids Farmers have more season-extension technology than ever, meaning more local produce more of the year, even in cold climates. Increased demand could boost community food security. Coconuts be damned.
@shaun_vids Look I don't support isolationism but being anti local food seems... Shortsighted? Strong regional food systems mitigate impacts on exploited agricultural workers in the global south who provide our food in the winter.
@PhilosophyTube It's from Black on Both Sides by Riley C Snorton.

A great tragedy as of late has been mainstream culture's almost myopic focus on climate change, ignoring the much bigger and more catastrophic issue of habitat loss/mass-extinction due to explosive human expansion. We take all & leave nothing for the rest of Earth's biota.
