#collapse screaming into the void….

Today at least two judges were arrested for acts that are not criminally illegal and a two year old U.S. citizen was kidnapped and shipped to Honduras by ICE, who called it a "deportation." Are we great again yet?

Community is often talked about as essential for resilience - but what does that mean if, like me, you aren't naturally drawn to being around people? A thread on prosocial prepping, collapse, and the role of #permaculture ethics in community building. 1/8 #overshoot #collapse

This post is beyond absolutely disgusting. Shame on whoever approved this crap, making NOAA into a gaslighting stooge for planet-destroying industries and billionaires. Please report this NOAA post to bsky for spreading misinformation.

Oh honey Bless your sweet heart

Not a drag queen….as usual

Hell yeah Milwaukee. Look at this crowd!

Breaking News! Code Yikes! The latest CERES data just dropped, and surprise, surprise, for the eighth month in a row the 36-month average for Earth's albedo hit yet another record low. Gratitude to the folks at: ceres-tool.larc.nasa.gov/ord-tool/srb...

Y’all who I follow and often quote post a mediocre white person, please start screenshotting that shit. They always block you and then I can’t see what willful ignorance is saying today.

I know everything is complete shite but my son may have to have spine surgery and I could use some positive thoughts.

I was talking to my friend at work about this. As an Indian she was well aware, but like most is not as clear about other places. A coworker from the Philippines’ dad had a heat stroke last week and nearly died. Will have long term damage. This is where we are all headed. #collapse #climate #heat

I refuse, but oh boy, do I know a fun fact or two about the t-Rex.

Yall know yall can attack peoples claim without being like fatphobic or racist or slut shaming or whatever tf right? We understand this?

I.C.E. and Customs and Border Patrol are domestic terror organizations. There is simply no way around this fact, as both government agencies meet all the definitional requirements.

Apparently RFK is trying to walk back his bullshit comments by saying he doesn't mean autistics like *me* are bad and awful and need to be irradicated; no, he just wants to get rid of the "low functioning" autistics and let me just say FUCK THAT I'm not more worthy of existing than autistics who 1/

And here. Right fucking here is why the washing machine is the greatest invention of the 20th century. It freed women of this labor, poor women, black women, who could save energy for the joy of being human, not just for the drudgery.

Oh dear. #collapse

I am struggling with being considered so lacking in value that I need to be on a eugenics list. I also have to say I will kill anyone who comes for my son. What’s worth living for is also worth dying for. #autism #NotADisease

This ultra-small generator is designed to harness energy from even the smallest rivers, like those flowing through urban areas between homes. It can power street lights, offering a sustainable solution for remote or urban communities to generate their own electricity.

So I was just thinking about how Norway introduced a bill for trans folks who need to flee the US. I now wait with bated breath to see if #autistics being put on a eugenics list will get the same response. Who wants to bet not?

I feel grateful that my porch is untreated wood and my garden full of dandelions for my little friends. Serving as many generations of pollinators as I can.

Along the lines of what I said yesterday: right wingers are one of three things or some combo: 1. Racist as hell 2. Fascist to the core 3. Fucking stupid I have no time for any of those in my life.

Your 'moment of doom' for Apr. 22, 2025 ~ Every living thing. "Researchers found 'a significant decline in seasonal snow across the Hindu Kush Himalaya region, with snow persistence (the time snow remains on the ground) 23.6% below normal — the lowest in 23 years'" phys.org/news/2025-04...

Wish I could be excited to be on a national registry for #autistic folks! If only it were going to be used to help us find our people and live happier lives. Sadly registries are the first step to extermination. Way less excited about being exterminated.

sharing here with my smaller following because it's still not 100%, but I was contacted by the NYT to write a guest essay about being the parent of a child profoundly impacted by autism, and i think they are going to publish it 🙈

Evening Dandelions.

When yall realize majority of crime is due to a lack of resources. And poverty is strategic under capitalism and that slavery is only legal if you commit a crime. You’ll understand why so many blk ppl are in prison & how prisons aren’t here to “help” anybody just make legal slaves.

Your 'bonus doom quote' for today: "As long as humanity is motivated by profit, we are on a path of no return from an Earth so devastated, so unrecognisable, violent and unsurvivable that the average person struggles to even imagine." georgetsakraklides.substack.com/p/the-meta-t...

Best compliment ever! A friend told me “one thing about you is that you always live your truth and speak it.” Damn right I do. Lost a lot along the way because of it (a career, marriage), but I am always me. Unapologetically.

Before I go into today's dystopian nightmare, let's take a minute to bring down your blood pressure. Here is one of my favorite creatures, the #RedPanda. Enjoy. #nature #animals

It’s getting warmer so this is your seasonal reminder that if you take mood stabilizers, mental health medication, etc. STAY COOL because these meds make you susceptible to heat intolerance. 🫶🏾

My favorite flower the dandelion blessing and being blessed by a bee. So grateful to see my little #pollinator friends!

It won’t save the world, but many of the plants are planted, including potatoes, carrots, onions, broccoli, and pumpkins.

A gentle reminder: I'm a black hat doomer, which means that I believe we're living in the collapse of global industrial civilization and the sixth mass extinction, and now we face the results of abrupt irreversible climate change and the real prospect of near-term human extinction #Yay #collapse

#doomer life #cassandra Some see random dots, while some see connections between the dots, but some of us see the picture it makes. Always dismissed. #autism

In response to #RFK I also want to note that everyone has value regardless of their support needs. Life has value. Full stop. My son has far more support needs than I do, and yet he has taught me more than anyone about the value of being in the present. His value is not monetary. #autism

Hey look! #collapse The significance is that this is a place where carbon should be lower as plants soak it up, but the plants are over capacity already. This means acceleration of climate change in a way not modeled well currently. TL;DR we are fucked.

I fell asleep thinking about this and feeling desperate to try to stop it. I hate feeling helpless to stop horrible things, even if I am not actually helpless.

Vaccines don’t cause autism. Neither do random “toxic chemicals” that RFK Jr, David Geier, and others claim. The biggest predictor of autism? GENETICS. We have millions of data points across decades that show this. 1/

never forget that all this bullshit is happening because white people did not want a black woman in charge

White people really, truly believe their individual experiences control all the things for everyone else. Call them out for some horrendous offense, and they proceed to give you their backstory, like it’s relevant. This insistence on individuality is 1 of the 15 tenets of White Supremacy Culture:

— PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT — Most brands of consumer-grade mace or pepper spray are laced with UV dye—so attackers can later be identified by [competent] police. Please tell your loved ones; do your best to remember this and insist on this testing, if you are ever put in a position to do so. ⚖️

Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! I think that sums it up. #collapse #climate #pollinators
