Spent some time at my favorite aquarium recently and watching how other patrons briefly observed everything secondhand through their phone cameras with no regard for the animals, no meaningful connection, and such a lack of deep curiosity was absolutely soul crushing.

“My charge is allegedly having a box containing magazine ‘zines,’ books, and artwork,” Sanchez Estrada said. “Items that should be protected under the First Amendment ‘freedom of speech.’ If this is happening to me now, it’s only a matter of time before it happens to you.”

I need to get out of here. I don’t even mean move to a different country. Launch me into orbit. I’ll figure it out from there.

Pr*sident just called on democratic members of the house and senate to be EXECUTED for disagreeing with him on his misuse of the military and liberals are still echoing sentiments like “when they go low we go high” as if he didn’t just openly suggest using capital punishment as a form of control

I hate being alive rn

Don’t really know why any LGBTQ+ siblings want to ensure their right to serve in the US military because rainbow imperial violence is still imperial violence and there’s nothing sacred or admirable about contributing to imperial violence even if you get to put a little Pride flag on it

“Citizen scientists” I busted my ass in school for years and wasted thousands of dollars that the feds want back with interest to unsuccessfully secure an entry level job in my field and you’re telling me all I needed to do was log some fucking volunteer hours?

Modern tv and film just keep making their millennial characters unserious caricatures of safe spaces, low tier social justice discourse, and dated internet lingo it’s sooooooo fuckiiiiiiiiiing boriiiiiiiiiiiiiing

NO!!!!! I DO NOT WANT TO USE AI FOR ANYTHING OR DOWNLOAD ANY MORE APPS OR WATCH ADS OR INPUT MY EMAIL OR USE MY FINGERPRINT OR FACE FOR QUICKER ACCESS OR ENTER MY PHONE NUMBER OR EMAIL OR CREDIT CARD INFO EVER AGAIN I WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE AND DIE LIKE A NORMAL CREATURE OF EARTH!!!!!

Grocery stores charging $30+ per pound for wild mushrooms when you can find them growing out of the fucking ground for free

Marine mammal research groups really out here asking you to coordinate their interns, collect data, analyze data, move to a remote coastline, feed yourself, house yourself, and dedicate 3 months minimum of your life for absolutely no fucking money and then say “that’s just the way it is :)”

Really hard to get behind the whole “pro democracy, pro america, no kings” shit because I don’t want America to be restored or progress, I want the entire colonial empire destroyed and the land returned to the indigenous

Gonna “one day at a time” myself over the fucking edge

One for Indigenous People's Day.

Crazy watching people use leaf blowers in the fall while the leaves actively continue to rain down no less. like just give up already?? you’ll never win??? you’re just polluting the goddamn air with exhaust and making way too much noise????

White hippies are sooooooooooo insufferable, go back to Europe

Remember to be a responsible ecosystem engineer! Be mindful of tribal lands, wildlife refuges, and conservation areas, which may already have rigorous and carefully designed management procedures in place! Tread lightly, do your research, and remember everything we do can have a ripple effect.

I really started noticing things going to shit when Animal Planet changed their slogan to “surprisingly human”

Life in America makes me wanna kill myself in the unironic way

Truly if government workers impacted by federal shutdowns like these simply refused to work in collective protest we could probably make some pretty significant strides against abusive administrations but Americans are such a lazy fucked up and complacent class of people and that’ll never happen

ICE n*zis disrupted critical firefighting efforts to detain two hardworking individuals trying to control a violent wildfire, I could honestly draw blood I fucking hate this country ICE agents can kill themselves I do not care

FUCK THE USA

[FOUNDER'S BRIEF - @rhettayersbutler.bsky.social] For decades, the case for saving tropical forests has been cast in terms of carbon. But new research reminds us that the destruction of rainforests has consequences that arrive long before the carbon accounting is tallied.

Conservation groups that list “supporting a strong economy” as a primary objective make me wanna off myself ✨

I dont know what will wake USA libs to the new reality they live in. Trump has already given himself presidential powers. And the scotus has given him criminal immunity. Stop acting shocked when he does illegal shit. Esculate. Organize. Overthrow.

Homoceanic Eroticism

While I always trust the word of highly trained and specialized scientists I can’t help but recall the plot of Dante’s Peak 🏔️👀

It’s astounding when foresters try to convince folks that industrial logging is vital to forest ecosystems, claiming careful selection of old or dying trees. I have eyes. Clearcutting entire mountainsides to bare earth & splinters isn’t careful selection; it’s capitalism masquerading as conservation

Farmer’s markets and food co-ops are just scummy novelties for rich people. $16 for a loaf of bread? Go fuck yourself

Land Back putas 💅🏽

Every year I watch the snowpack on Tahoma visibly decrease while capitalists and colonizers carry on with their business-as-usual grade exploitation of natural resources, and the rage and heat continues to build all the while

Let's speedrun through Pollinator Gardens 101! Making your space a home for bees, butterflies, & other wildlife is as easy as: 1️⃣Using native plants 2️⃣Adding nesting habitat 3️⃣Avoiding pesticides Ready to get started? We have all the resources you need @ xerces.org/pollinatorgardens #PollinatorWeek

Those public lands are also indigenous land

AI commercials are insane because they basically go: “Are you too lazy and pathetic to apply yourself? Just cheat :) “

Dude, the dramatic shift in wildlife ecology to make everything fully remote and automated and run by artificial intelligence is so fucked. Like what, did you lose your passion and the will to connect with nature along the way? Loser behavior. Soulless. Disgraceful. Pathetic. Preserve the wonder 🪼💙🐳

Time to delete your iNaturalist accounts! Generative AI (esp. via big tech) is socially and environmentally destructive technology, and @inaturalist.bsky.social and all conservation based orgs need to remember that when making these choices.

Mid 80’s and sunny? Time to drive around blasting hip hop through quiet predominantly white neighborhoods 🤘🏼

FUCK TRUMP FUCK AMERICA HANDS OFF OUR GENTE

Every time I hear the term “pickle ball” I lose years off my lifespan

#immigration #chingalamigra

American food co-ops and organic markets are a great way to remind yourself that only rich white people deserve to eat wholesome nutritious food in this failed colonial project

Artificial intelligence, cloud computing and data centres led to a spike in electricity demand between 2020 and 2023.

The Pacific Northwest is wasted on the legacy and prevalence of shitass colonizers and it’s such a fucking shame

Zesty
