hey in case you didn't know trans inclusive terminology in healthcare is not about protecting peoples feelings, it's to stop insurance companies from going "well it says here that hysterectomies are a procedure performed on WOMEN and you keep insisting that you're a MAN so we do not in fact have to cover that have a nice day and eat shit"

THE ENTIRE WEST IS BEING PUT UP FOR SALE AND I AM BEGGING YOU TO CALL YOUR SENATORS

Trump’s budget bill has many, many things in it, but buried amongst it is the MILLIONS OF ACRES OF PUBLIC LAND FOR SALE.

This is the entirety of the Arizona state forests, the entire Cascades mountain range. Swathes of pristine desert around the national parks in Utah. On the doorstep of Jackson Hole.

THIS BILL IS BIG, BUT IT CAN BE AMENDED AND ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT PASS AS IS please.

If you have ever enjoyed the wilderness, we stand to lose it all forever.

CALLING your senators - NOT JUST IN THE WEST. ALL SENATORS, is CRUCIAL.

Outdoor alliance has a great resource for reaching out.

I don’t have a huge following but please, everywhere I have ever loved, the forests I grew up playing in, the land I got married on, is all at risk and I am begging.

The three-ring binder is the apex of book technology, by the way. All the advantages of a codex, plus you can add, remove, and reorder pages at will - pages which you can furthermore protect from damage in transparent sleeves, and store commentaries, notes, and other paratextual addenda behind them without obscuring the primary content. Truly the queen of codices. Reblog if you love the three-ring binder.

A good rule of thumb for AI is "would you trust a trained pigeon to do this?"

"We trained a pigeon to recognise cancerous cell clusters and somehow they're really good at it" okay great, that's something that could plausibly be a thing.

"We trained a pigeon to recognise good CV:s and left it in charge of sorting through all our job applications" uh perhaps consider not doing that.

getting farther into the book and feeling sick after reading this paragraph and realizing this is not a tale of something that happened just in the 1880s but an account of an event still happening today in angola prison, currently, as in right now the prison still host these events annually in which black prisoners participate in violent events because of the chance to get $500 dollars as a reward, as most only earn 2 cent per hour of work

70% of the prison population at angola is black, and angola prison is one of the largest “convict leasing” prisons in america, as it was formerly a plantation, every liscense plate in louisiana is made by angola prisoners, louisiana also has the highest rates of wrongful conviction in america, with 78% of those wrongful convictions being found to be due to police not giving truthful information during ongoing cases, almost all of the money raised by visitors and tourist to see these events or go to the angola gift shop never even get touched by the prison population, shareholders still pushing convict leasing keep the money for themselves, a literal live minstrel show and factory still running just as it did from its creation, where only the owners and correctional team (which is 80% white) see profit

what "no sugar added" should mean: the natural sugars of the other ingredients like fruit are the only source of sweetness in this product

what is actually means: we added a fuckton of artificial sweeteners
