The tragic death of 32 people in flash floods in Texas was due to rainfall probably magnified by the effects of the climate crisis.
The disaster was made all the more likely by the gutting of weather service and other government agencies built up over decades to keep the population safe.

A classic talk about systems thinking, as told through a story of ocean diving.
Some key observations:
1. Catastrophic failures in complex systems are the result of several smaller failures
2. An unused or untested safety system does not exist
3. Normalization of deviance is a natural human phenomenon

@skinnylatte I often call myself bi or demisexual, which is mostly true.
But every time I imagine what it'd be like to actually cohabitate with a man, I feel a deep, deep revulsion at the idea of every part of it.
I know the men in my circles. I know how they are at taking care of a home, showing emotion, being empathetic, being socially conscious, sharing in relationship responsibilities...
I just couldn't do it.
And then watching the straight girls in my life twist themselves into pretzels to justify why their men act so problematic or useless. And I just never want to be in that position.
