i don’t know how to explain to you people that no matter what a country’s government is like i do not and will not support the US indiscriminately bombing that country’s civilians and i don’t know why that’s a controversial take tbh

I love liberals on this site, yeah man, the democratic leader is a peaceful person who would've prevented war, this is why you had Obama destroying Libya, Somalia, Yemen and Syria and enabling the deadliest drone strike operation against innocent people in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

You all need to stop with that democrat dick riding bullshit. "I hope you know this is your fault for not voting for Harris 😤" okay and what you're telling me here is that you a) don't actually know any of her policies and stances or b) don't care either way because it is and always has been some tertiary goal to your primary objective of sucking off the Democrats in the most reactionary way possible

Every time i think of how harry dubois acts and gestures and behaves, i think of him with boundless (artificial) energy and some kind of exaggerated emotion on his face. He waves at people when he meets them and puts his hands on his hips when questioning them. He squats and never crouches when looking at something on the ground to avoid fucking up his back but ends up fucking his knees instead, and widens his eyes instead of squinting them when looking at something small. He speaks as loud as the ocean in rain but moves as quietly as misfortune. He hates shaking hands and chews on the inside of his cheek when hes bored. He moves for answers and speaks for movement.

Hes also like really sexy and cute

The reality of being Indigenous in so called Canada

• Indigenous women and girls make up 50% of human trafficking victims, while only making up about 2% of the population.¹

•If the territory of Nunavut was an independent country it would have the highest suicide rate in the world (135 per 100,000, which is 10x the canadian average)²

•Despite Calgary having a fairly low crime rate the Calgary Police kill more people than any other police force in Canada. In 2018 CPS killed more people than the police forces of Winnipeg, Vancouver, Ottawa, Toronto and Edmonton combined. ASIRT, the provincial police watchdog, has never charged an officer for these murders. If you control for population, the rate of civilians killed in Calgary by police is 8 times higher than in New York City. ³

•Between August 30th and December 14th 2024, 15 Indigenous people were killed by police in Canada. 15 people in under 4 months. Because Canada does not collect data on victims of police violence it's difficult to know exact numbers, but it's estimated that Indigenous people make up 16% of police killings, while only making up 4.1% of the population. Indigenous people are killed by police at a rate 10x higher than white canadians.⁴

•28% of people federally incarcerated are Indigenous. This number is as high as 40% in women's prisons. Indigenous women are incarcerated at a rate 12.5x higher than non Indigenous women. ⁵

•29 reserves in Canada are under drinking water advisories. Some of these advisories have been in place for more than 25 years. ⁶

•53.8% of kids in the foster care system are Indigenous. In the province I live in (Alberta) that number is more than 70%. ⁷

• 7% of non Indigenous Canadian children live in poverty. 38% of Indigenous children in Canada live in poverty. ⁷

Canada is not America-lite. Canada is not America's polite northern neighbour. Canada has its own brutal colonial history, and sits on forcibly occupied Indigenous land.

Seeing a thousand "fork found in kitchen" and "believe scientists" and "we all knew about AI" tags on a post with an AI incorrectly summarizing a preprint study advising thoughtful use of AI as "AI is making your brain weak and ineffective" was making me crazy i'm sorry i tried not reblogging it like four times and every time i didn't reblog it it had like an order of magnitude more notes

Part of the reason I'm so adamant about encouraging people to get comfortable with bugs, my own interests aside, is because we cannot have a bright, solarpunk future without them.

A green future is not a bugless future. It is, in fact, a fairly bugful future. If you care about ecological stability, then you need to start with bugs, because they're the most at risk with our current use of pesticides.
