I mean really?!? "They keep on shoving that gay shit down our throat"

Do you know how much media i watched with cishet relationships in abundance,and i still turned out queer?

But we're the ones that are shoving representation down people's throats? No. Instead,that representation is well overdue and fuck you if you think EVERYTHING should be Cishet

This week, I went over to Bluesky and asked people who'd left Mastodon why they left, and lots of people told me. I grabbed the replies and crunched them and wrote up a summary. I think it's really interesting and often kind of wrenching.

Not surprising news of the day:

Farmers used 27% less artificial fertiliser on wheat, barley, oilseed rape and sugar beet crops last year compared with the 2010-19 average. Despite this, yields of those crops were 2.4% above average compared with the same period. On the other hand, a 10% increase in the use of fertilisers in the cultivation of potatoes resulted in a 8.6% reduction in yield.

Elon Musk lies a lot. He lies about being a "utopian socialist." He lies about being a "free speech absolutist." He lies about which companies he founded:

Guest Sarah Everts heard that the incel bros bought human pheromone perfume to get all the girls. The perfume was boar pheromones. Guest Sarah does a noble experiment involving an aardvark stuffy. https://www.lastwordonnothing.com/2023/07/28/berlin-boar-pheromones/

Be kind to yourself

Humanity was fucked before you were even born. It's not your responsibility to fix it. Do what you can to make things better, but don't get upset if it seems like you aren't making a difference. Never feel guilty about indulging in things you enjoy or taking a break.

Life is a accident of chance and circumstance. We didn't get to choose to be alive now — at this moment in history, in this place, under these conditions, etc. We just have to deal with it all as best we can

I am currently preparing lessons for the coming school year and am already looking forward to discovering wildflowers with the children outside. Fittingly, I saw an interesting documentary about wildflowers in Paris. You can find them on roofs, fallow land, cemeteries, railway tracks.... They multiply easily and quickly if spaces are created for them and pesticides are not used, for example.

"The era of global warming has ended. The era of global boiling has arrived.

The air is unbreathable, the heat is unbearable, and the level of fossil fuel profits and climate inaction is unacceptable.

Humanity has unleashed destruction. This must not inspire despair, but action."

— United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres

@frills I picked cat, but the truth is I'm a stats person (for real, nor just "see the answers") and cats are 2nd place. Numbers are my friends.
