oh yeah also rest in piss nixon
in recognition of the ongoing environmental challenges, i would like to talk about the keeling curve. which serves as a reminder of how human activity has shaped the planet's atmosphere. this graph tracks the rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide (co₂) concentrations from 1958 to today, based on measurements taken at the mauna loa observatory in hawaii. charles david keeling began collecting this data in 1958, and it remains the longest continuous record of atmospheric co₂. keeling's measurements revealed a clear upward trend in co₂, increasing from about 313 parts per million (ppm) in 1958 to over 400 ppm by 2013. this rise is largely due to human activities, mainly the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. the curve also shows seasonal fluctuations, with co₂ levels higher in winter due to reduced photosynthesis and lower in summer as plants absorb more co₂. the keeling curve has played a crucial role in demonstrating the link between human activity and climate change, providing solid evidence of the effect of fossil fuel emissions on the earth's atmosphere. it remains a key symbol in the scientific effort to understand and address global warming, reminding us that the actions we take today will directly shape the climate of tomorrow. without recognition of this data, the global response to climate change would likely have been much slower.
also, one of the most significant factors driving the acceleration of climate change is the albedo effect. which refers to how much sunlight is reflected by a surface, with darker surfaces absorbing more sunlight and lighter surfaces reflecting it. this effect plays a crucial role in the earth's climate system, particularly in how energy is absorbed or reflected by the planet's surface. when it comes to ice and snow, they have a high albedo, meaning they reflect a significant portion of the sunlight that hits them, helping to keep the planet cool. however, as global temperatures rise due to climate change, ice sheets and glaciers are melting at an accelerated rate, especially in polar regions. this melting exposes darker surfaces, like ocean water or bare ground, which have a much lower albedo compared to ice. these surfaces absorb more heat from the sun, which in turn accelerates warming in a feedback loop. as more ice melts, more dark surfaces are exposed, leading to further warming, which causes more ice to melt, and so on. this is a prime example of a positive feedback loop in climate change. for instance, the arctic is warming roughly twice as fast as the global average, a phenomenon known as arctic amplification, largely driven by this albedo effect. as sea ice melts, it exposes the darker ocean underneath, which absorbs more heat, warming the region even faster. this has major consequences for global sea levels, as the melting ice contributes to rising ocean levels. additionally, as ice sheets shrink, they reduce the earth's ability to reflect sunlight, further amplifying the effects of global warming. the albedo effect is not limited to the polar regions. as forests, urban areas, and even deserts expand due to human activity, they can also alter the earth’s albedo. for example, deforestation, which replaces lighter snow-covered landscapes or forests with darker surfaces like soil or crops, can exacerbate regional warming. this feedback loop is one of the many reasons why the loss of ice in the arctic and antarctica is such a crucial concern. the albedo effect not only accelerates warming in those regions but also has ripple effects on global weather patterns, ocean currents, and even weather extremes in places far from the poles. i think understanding the albedo effect is essential for predicting future climate change scenarios and for developing strategies to mitigate its impacts.
let this years earth day be a reminder that the health of our planet depends on the choices we make daily. real change comes from consistent effort, not just awareness. let’s act like we have a future to protect.
fix leaks, take shorter showers, choose products made from eco-friendly materials and ethically sourced. make it a habit to flick off the light switch when you leave a room. grow a plant: even a small houseplant helps clean the air! carry a refillable water bottle (and only own ONE reusable bottle). swap bottled products (i've been using bar soap for a few years now!). buy almost everything second-hand (besides underwear, socks, mattress, helmets, and cosmetics). upcycle your old clothes: instead of donating, repurpose them into something new, like a tote bag or pillow covers. stop using paper towels and opt for reusable cloth napkins in the kitchen. choose products with no plastic packaging, make your own cleaners. walk and ride a bike instead of public transportation and cars!!! support local farmers: buy seasonal produce from farmer’s market to reduce your carbon footprint and support sustainable agriculture. and i know you've heard these suggestions millions of times but they can help you make a difference. small changes add up, and every little bit counts .ᐟ
i would also like to add with the passing of pope francis, (rest in peace), that he has been a vocal advocate for addressing climate change, making it a central theme of his papacy. his landmark 2015 encyclical laudato si' was a groundbreaking moment in the intersection of faith and environmental advocacy. in it, pope francis called for urgent action to combat the climate crisis, highlighting the moral and ethical implications of environmental degradation. he framed climate change not only as a scientific issue but also as a deeply spiritual and social issue, emphasizing its impact on the most vulnerable populations. in laudato si', pope francis criticized the excessive consumerism and exploitation of natural resources, linking these practices to poverty and inequality. he argued that the destruction of the environment is a consequence of a "throwaway culture" that disregards the dignity of human life. the encyclical urged individuals, communities, and governments to take responsibility for protecting the planet and to recognize the interconnection between all living beings. in 2023, pope francis expanded on these themes in his apostolic exhortation laudate deum, further emphasizing the need for global action on climate change. he referenced laudato si' as a starting point and called for greater collaboration to address the environmental crisis, especially in the context of rising global temperatures and the ongoing loss of biodiversity. laudate deum reaffirmed his belief that the climate crisis is not just an environmental issue, but a moral and spiritual one, requiring a concerted global effort to ensure justice for the poor and the protection of future generations.

"BRADY SUCKS!"
TLOU SHOW SPOILERS
okay not having tommy there, ellie not being as beat up, not doing it in the basement, and alejandro not spitting on joel’s corpse did mess with the vibes BUT abby actually beating joel with her fists and then sticking the broken golf club in his neck was actually brutal
Joel, get up. Joel, fucking get up! THE LAST OF US 2.02 | Through the Valley
i hate you for what you did, and i miss you like a little kid.
this parallel is destroying me !
i just got stabbed and am throwing up all over the place rn btw!!
SPOILERS FOR THE LAST OF US S2 EP2 .ᐟ
okay i'm just gonna rant for a little bit so stick with me.
one. that death scene man. god. and i will say ellie crawling to joel is HEARTBREAKING. and also... abby breaking the fucking golf club. and that shot zooming out of ellie laying next to joel. along with ashley johnson's singing into the valley. i'm ILL.
now for some criticism...
i know alot of people are saying this but the pacing felt abrupt and there wasn't enough buildup!!! i've been talking to my friends about how i thought they would do it in ep3 or 4 this is NOT what i expected. and i feel like his death was just more cold and oddly sterile. the game made you live with that death and i feel like the show just uses it. and i don't know why they switched from the basement to the like living room area???? it felt much more sickening in the basement when it was dark. i don't know why it felt so much more disturbing so hopefully somebody explains why it feels like this lmao.
and i think what they could've done for ep2 instead was some scenes of joel and ellie’s strained reconnection. flashbacks to fill in time between seasons (their time in jackson, their awkward silence blah blah). joel teaching ellie guitar!! wish they had that guitar scene early on i genuinely love that scene so much! and to me it reinforces not just that he’s her father figure, but that he’s still shaping who she becomes. and maybe a tense moment where joel almost confesses what he did at the firefly hospital, adding to future conflict idk. and obviously abby's pov without the reveal. hate that they literally just tell you she's jerry's daughter this early. introduce abby and her crew, but withhold TELLING US EVERYTHING!! make us intrigued by her — not force us to empathize with her. let her and her group be a mystery. build suspense like the game! who are these people? why are they tracking someone? it’s better to be curious about abby than to be told we should understand her pain immediately.
also some scenes focused on the jackson life. give us scenes of joel, tommy, ellie, and dina in this insulated world. show their interactions, their daily routines, the illusion of safety. let joel have a moment of quiet and happiness! not to fake us out but to remind us what is being taken from ellie and us as the audience! oh yeah also i hate what they did with abby i'm sorry. it's been talked about alot before but abby's build IS important to her character!!! making her this short skinny girl is kinda crazy just saying!
yeah that's kinda it i literally just don't know what to do with myself and this is really poorly worded but rip joel. again. my goat ❤️
just started ep2...... eek
"but i'm still me, he's still joel, and we-- and nothing's ever gonna change that. ever."
no literally because the whole point of the show is that it doesn’t ask you to forgive them! it’s not about justifying any of it, it’s about what people become when survival isn’t clean. let things be awful.
why are people in the tags obsessed with justifying/defending the characters in Yellowjackets. Can't things just be terrible?

Easter falling on 4/20 again this year means all those old 420 praise it vines from 2014 are once again relevant
i think about this alot but every moment in jesus' life, at least as the texts present it, isn't necessarily centered on him , it's constantly exposing something about us. our assumptions about power, purity, divinity. the story isn’t just telling us what happened, it’s pressing on the limits of what we’re even able to recognize. and still, after two thousand years, people keep trying to make him into something they can categorize!! i think the real issue with how people use jesus today is that they’re trying to shape him into something he’s not or something that aligns with their own biases. and how people today—and have always—manipulate jesus’ image for political gain. whether that’s for conservative, liberal, (conservative) or any other kind of agenda. but what gets lost in all that is the way the gospels keep pushing against all those neat categories people try to slot him into. jesus doesn’t just fit into any of them. look at moments like when he talks about the kingdom of god. it’s this counterintuitive concept. it’s not about power in the way anyone expects. like, when he says in luke (17:20-21), "the kingdom of god is not coming with signs to be observed, nor will they say, ‘look, here it is!’ or ‘there!’ for, in fact, the kingdom of god is among you." it’s clear that the way people are thinking about power, this idea of a political, military messiah, is entirely wrong. jesus obviously doesn’t fit that mold at all. or take (mark 10:17-27). of this guy, comes up to jesus with this well-defined idea of what being good means. he thinks he’s got everything in order, but jesus challenges the very foundation of his idea of righteousness. “go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. then come, follow me." it’s not just a moral lesson, it’s a direct challenge to his worldview. and it’s not just about wealth, it’s about how deeply rooted our assumptions are in our understanding of power, success, and the way the world is supposed to work. the irony is that people today religious or not keep trying to fit him into their own worldview. they cherry pick the parts of the gospels that align with their values, ignoring the parts that challenge them. whether it’s a political narrative or a social one, they want to mold jesus into a figure that supports their existing beliefs rather than actually dealing with the radical, uncomfortable things he said! take the whole debate about who’s “worthy” or who’s “in” in the gospels. every time someone asks jesus who’s going to get into the kingdom, the answer is always surprising. it’s always someone you wouldn’t expect. the righteous are never who you think they are.
Finally have all 4 life stages let's gooo
