to my fellow usamericans….in light of the supreme court overturning roe v wade, well known organizations like planned parenthood dont need your money right now - they have plenty - if you’re going to donate, donate to your local or state abortion funds
the national network of abortion funds allows you to split your donation between 91 abortion funds in the united states - it lists every fund your donation goes to and allows you to customize the amount you give to each fund
CHEERS TO GUY WALTON FOR “OUTING” THE FOSSIL FUEL COMPANIES
From the article:
Walton has devised his own criteria for named heatwaves in the US, based on duration and extremity, on a one to five scale similar to hurricanes. Heatwave Chevron is classed as a four and is “historic”, Walton said. The meteorologist said he has a list of 20 oil and gas companies – including Exxon and Shell – for upcoming heatwaves and will turn to coal companies if he runs out of names.
Lin-Manuel Miranda is not untalented but he shouldn’t be making billion dollar disney movies or whatever. This guy should be in a garage making deeply earnest but unpolished rap opera concept albums and posting them online for a niche fanbase of no more than 100,000 too-online theatre nerds. Hiring him to make forgettable paint-by-numbers radio friendly disney princess pop is trying to raise devil’s pupfish in captivity. You have to stop giving him money and let him go make cringe in his natural habitat or you’re never going to get anything good.
this does not necessarily apply to chrome-based browsers but it very well can. ymmv

However, there is also AdNauseam which is built atop uBlock and will silently click on every ad it blocks so you can fuck with advertising companies. Essentially, this poisons whatever information profile they’ve built up on you. AdNauseam was even banned on the Google Web Store in 2017, so you can tell it works and that Google fucking HATES IT.
A team of Indigenous Yucuna women in the Colombian Amazon are
rescuing and documenting the remaining oral knowledge on bees and their
roles in the ecosystem, along with the traditional classification system
of diverse bee species.
With the help of nine elders, they are documenting and sketching
tales and songs to gather bee names, characteristics, behaviors, roles
in their crop fields and the places where bees build beehives.

Je’chu […]. “He is […] our grandfather,”
narrates Carmenza Yucuna Rivas, leader of the Miriti-Parana Indigenous Reserve in Colombia, located in the Amazon Rainforest.
[…] “Beehives […] give us the opportunity to create chakras [food gardens typically using an agroforestry model with divers plant species] […]. They let us have something to cultivate […] in the first place.”
To rescue and document the remaining oral knowledge of the origin of
bees in their culture and their importance to their ecosystems and
territory, Carmenza is leading research about these species with 36
women from the 12 communities part of the Indigenous reserve.

Since the second half of 2020, Carmenza and her colleagues have been
going to each of the communities and speaking to elders to gather
information, such as tales and songs that talk of the origin of the
bees. They also draw […]. Each of them has taken
the task of sketching the stories on paper to describe the insects.
Their aim is to classify the bees according to the cultural system of
the Yucuna-Matapí, Tanimuca-Letuama, and Tuyuca-Macuna peoples,
including their names, characteristics, and the places where they build
the beehives.

Carmenza describes one by one the most relevant bees in the territory. The munumunú are the Melipona, that is, the bees that produce honey; the mapa or mapachara are the ones that produce the wax that is used for healing and rituals; the mapakayuna are small and live next to the crops to guarantee their productivity; and the jiñuna
“are a great species,” says Carmenza. They live in the Yavarí coconut
trees on the river shore where they build huge yellow beehives. […] Carmenza says that even with the research process and its results, the findings and daily learnings keep surprising them.

“We’ll take all this knowledge to schools so that teachers can share it
with the kids and show them the tales, the drawings, and the
classifications and talk about the value of bees in culture. But also,
so that they know that bees aren’t beings without importance,” says
Carmenza. “They care for us without realizing it. They, through the
pollination of trees and flora, help the world breathe.”
