I'm so sorry. I'm very fortunate not to have any pro-Trump relatives (even though pre-Trump we ran the political spectrum). But I am from a red state, and the country no less. The county where I grew up went for Trump by thirty points or so. I know how agonizing it is.

That said, in some ways it's felt vindicating to see everyone's true character. I now understand a lot of feelings of unease that I couldn't explain and blamed on myself as a kid. Turns out little me was right.

“Nice people made the best Nazis. My mom grew up next to them. They got along, refused to make waves, looked the other way when things got ugly and focused on happier things than “politics.” They were lovely people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away. You know who weren’t nice people? Resisters.”

– Naomi Shulman

so if you ever wonder why the british are so Like That, remember that in the last decade we have had five prime ministers and the objectively least terrible one was the one who actually fucked a pig to get into a posh club

This cartoon hits hard.

It hits even harder when you notice the 2007 publication date in the lower right corner.

As the knives sharpen around the Luna-25 crash I am reminded of the time NASA crashed into Mars because the metric system was too much for American subcontractors to deal with.

A late #caturday post but still a caturday post! Whenever I leave home for too long and come back my cat ( @KittyPictures ) grips her paws around my hand in order to prevent me from ever leaving again... She's the cutest and the best #CatsOfMastodon

Interesting!

Ok and this is Arturo. He gives a warning bray at 6:40 am and, if I haven’t emerged from the house by 7:00 sharp, a second blast that shakes the walls of the house, so that I make no mistake that certain equines are on the very verge of death by starvation. #asstodon

Oh gawd this feels too real.

We went to see the nearby tufa channels for this #SilentSunday.

These channels are caused by a karst spring whose water has a particularly high lime content.

The carbon dioxide in the water is partially released by the warming water, as well as consumed by algae and moss.

This causes the lime to precipitate and gradually form these structures, a few millimetres every year.

Sadly the water chose a different route halfway down, causing the moss (and channel) to dry up.

Sceptics & deniers. You’ll know the climate crisis is real when no insurance company will protect you against it, or will charge you more than you can pay.

This is already happening to businesses, farms, construction projects & home owners the world over.

They know. Wake up.
