Water.

Natalja Saint-Germain @nataljastgermain.bsky.social · Dec 29

In the most known Bashkir epic “Ural-batyr”, the world is born out of water in complete darkness.

The first piece of land is wet and swampy, and that primordial swamp symbolizes chaos – the state when the soil and the water are yet to be separated.

Why are girls neither one thing or the other until *social*, sexual maturity. Note "frau" is also title for married woman, "Frau Schmidt".

German has masculine, feminine and neuter.

Always been intrigued that the word for girl is "das madchen", *neuter* noun. Compare to boy - "der junge", masculine. Woman is "die frau", feminine.

"Brothers will fight and kill each other,
sisters' children will defile kinship.
It is harsh in the world, whoredom rife
—an axe age, a sword age —shields are riven—
a wind age, a wolf age— before the world goes headlong.
No man will have mercy on another."

Over the next few years, many will be shocked by the depravity of friends, family and colleagues as they desperately try to save their own skin.

Wonderful comment ....

Western, especially USian, culture is very strongly about "fighting". Stop fighting, you can't win.

This is for the person who recently contacted me, who feels the weight of the world but just doesn't have the fight left for it. I could have written this to myself.

Collapse will bring greatly increase risk to women/female of male violence, rape, coercive abuse of all kinds, abduction, trafficking and plain old murder.

Here's how it goes where men are only/main "breadwinner" - they get the bread, children and women go hungry. Women will choose to go hungry to feed children.
That's how it often was amongst the British poor in early C20th Britain.

Last chance to marvel at this miracle of evolution in what is now Death World.

Lyle Lewis @race2extinct.bsky.social · 2h

Genetic diversity is nature’s insurance policy. Snow leopards have almost none left. As the planet changes, evolution has no time to bail them out. Extinction isn’t a question of if, but when.

Survival of snow leopard populations 'precarious,' researchers say. Here's why

Survival of snow leopard populations could be "precarious" in the future due to the way the elusive mountain cats have evolved, scientists recently discovered.

Of course lauguage also evolves - it seems "precarious" now mean "no effing chance".

If only that meme were true - 1) Peter Kalmus and Kevin Anderson have publicly said that many of their CC colleagues say one thing in public and something very different in private; 2) many notable CC scientist grifters and hopium peddlers.

*Biggest issue, AFAI can see, is VitB12. *Realistically* vegans rely on fortification or supplementation.

Note - the big word is *realistically*, not interested in "ideally", can't be scaled, science is debatable. This isn't aimed at you, Veg.

I know I'm going to get slammed but .... I'm not sure, as things collapse, whether the average bod will *realistically* be able to be 100% vegan*. This is an aspect of collapse - you may have to shed dearly held principles to survive, although, of course, you have the option not to survive.
