Quick reminder that at least a decent chunk of the forests *still burning* in Canada were part of the "offsets" countries and companies pay for as credits in Carbon Trading schemes meant for them to keep polluting guilt-free.
The "offsets" are now in the atmosphere heating the planet. As well as the original emissions.
Good stuff. /s
That's part of why Emissions Trading Schemes are little more than fancy accounting and should never be accepted as Climate Action.

It still takes a while before Meta(P92) joins the Fediverse and the recent times we have read a lot of things from both sides
Polls are not super reliable but maybe it will give a better overall picture of what you, the people using these platforms want
The result will not be the definite outcome for us but I do take it into heavy consider because I love you all very much!

I would be a pretty shit former president of a writers' organization if I did not offer solidarity to the screenwriters here. They were offered a patently bullshit deal by the studios and networks. They deserve better and now they're striking to get it. Good for them.

If the Trump indictments had happened when I was on the birdsite, I would’ve been tweeting nonstop about them with MSNBC on in the background. That version of me didn’t know she was burning herself out. I do miss the highs, like a drug, but I feel queasy and shaky if I watch TV news now, and I prefer dipping into social media occasionally to living on it.
Anyway, I’m not surprised there were 34 felony counts against Trump, but I’m surprised he didn’t try to run.
I awoke in the dark to a rumbling beside my head. The fluffy #beast was purring as loudly as though I were giving her a good brushing. Not even five o’clock, said the red digits that glowed from two feet away. She stepped forward to push her chilly, wet nose into my face, as if to say “Your bladder is full, human.” Satisfied, she stretch-walked to the foot of the bed, where she curled into her favourite sleeping spot.
