lawns aren’t just boring, they’re harmful. covering vast areas in grass that does nothing for pollinators or soil life is ecological nonsense. research shows that common lawn chemicals increase cancer risk, especially in dogs exposed to treated grass. we can still have grassy patches and parks, but this endless obsession with sterile, green perfection is costing us health, biodiversity and water. let’s grow wilder.

still haven't figured out what 'something to do with my photos online so people see them' is, and I hate and do not want to go back to instagram, I have enough trouble trying to get instagram to stop emailing me as it is that I've blocked them as a sender.

@davidho We need to stop buying stuff, eating meat & dairy, heating/cooling our homes and flying, driving and boating around, if we want to prevent disasters like this happening again and again and again.
But we don't care enough to change our behaviour, step by little step getting deeper and deeper into this self-created mess we call our future.

@davidho :( Thank you for sharing that story.

We were reading earlier this eve about Peruvian farmer Saúl Luciano Lliuya's case. "Germanwatch is still claiming a win. It says that the court ruled on the specific risk of Lake Palcacocha bursting its banks. But, by allowing the case to proceed through the German court system for a decade, had accepted the broader principle that climate change plaintiffs from around the world can use German property laws to sue German companies over their carbon emissions.” — #NPR https://www.npr.org/2025/05/28/nx-s1-5414369/peruvian-farmer-loses-landmark-climate-case-against-german-energy-giant

My friend is in charge of the team that wrote the climate change adaptation plan for Switzerland and this is one of the things they expected.

This blows my mind. You won't tax rich folk enough, but you'll continue to tax your own people even if they leave your country. I only learned about this a few years ago, no matter where in the world you go, America wants to fuck you, for being American.

"Abolish the masked, plainclothes, secret police" doesn't quite have the same ring as "Abolish ICE" but I'll support it.

"Behind every cop who murders a 13-year-old child, there is a city lawyer working to keep the video secret, a prosecutor lying about it in court, a mayor giving cops more money and weapons, and a professor with a consulting firm deciding which "reform" will make the most money."

― Alec Karakatsanis, author of "Usual Cruelty: The Complicity of Lawyers in the Criminal Injustice System."

@blogdiva I consulted with my parents and friends back in Brazil + looked online and: yup, as usual, my homecountry chose the gringo pathway of influence, while the rest of LATAM stayed with the ISO standards: https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escalas_curta_e_longa there's a map in the article, take a look.

"That whole bitch" is a real unit of measurement when cooking, it's just that most cookbooks and publishers are too cowardly to talk about it.

For example, "throw that whole bitch into the pot" and "put that whole bitch in your mouth" are both ways this measurement is used in a sentence. :neocat_googly_blep:
