I might as well do this now before my financial situation worsens but if folks could help me out with medication this month while I figure out what's wrong with me I'd appreciate it. I still need a nebulizer and the meds that go with it. Thank you in advance ❤️

Just remembered this jaw-dropping graph by @oceansclimatecu.bsky.social showing the rate of change in CO2 during the previous two deglaciations of the Pleistocene (which, as a fun aside, featured ~400 feet of sea level rise) as compared with today

heard someone pronounce "denouement" as "den-uh-maw" and i feel like at that point you might as well just say something like "de-now-ment"

It's tempting to treat "the American right is a death cult" as rhetorical hyperbole, but when you look at e.g. their enthusiasm for executing people who are *clearly* innocent, no actually these people really do just worship and revel in death and murder
