I will mash that Reblog button every single time this shows up on my dash. I spent a lot of years martyring myself for “the needs of the business.” Young people? Don’t fucking do it. They don’t care about you, you are a “resource,” not a human being. I can’t say this strongly enough: see to your self-care!
We talk a lot about how to tell if you have a bad boss… Here is how you know you have a good boss:
My boss would verbally kick my ass if I logged in or communicated voluntarily about work while on vacation. And if I had to log in, absolutely no one else could do my thing and it couldn’t wait? He would refund my time off and make me take it the following week.
Time off is Time Off. Take it. Unashamedly. Unabashedly.
Time off is Time Off.
Take it. Unashamedly.
Unabashedly.
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
“Asexuality is a sexuality and as a whole is not inherently rooted in mental health problems or hormone problems and thus should not be pathologized.”
And
“Some people who use the label asexual are asexual due to trauma, mental health conditions, or medications/hormonal problems and they should always be welcome within the asexual community.”
“This is a big ass speech. This is a big ass stop the show, this is the moral framework of the entire five years you’ve seen. Nate Ford justifies 77 episodes of Leverage in this speech, cause you know what? It is the last goddamn episode, you’re gonna know why we made the show. We didn’t make the show cause we thought it was clever or cute or fun. I always say this, no show succeeds unless somebody loves it and you know what, everybody loves this show and to me, what Nate’s saying here is important enough to say out loud. No one should be allowed to cheat and get away with it.” - John Rogers, The Long Goodbye Job DVD Commentary
The El Paso Times reports Copas told officers that she saw traffic signs that read “Juarez, Mexico,” leading her to believe that her driver was trying to kidnap her.
Copas then took out a gun from her purse and allegedly shot Piedra in the back of the head…
…“The investigation does not support that a kidnapping took place or that Piedra was veering from Copas’ destination,” police said in their news release.
Well this is where all the viral sex trafficking myths and true crime “fuck politeness” bs was always gonna lead, huh?
Assuming we're going by fantasy "everyone knows the gods are real and you choose one as your favorite" rules, which god would you worship in each ancient pantheon? I know there's a good chance you'll just say "none, I'd hate the gods", but I still gotta ask
Tbh that’s not really how it worked. You didn’t really pick a patron god, you were kinda assigned one by your life situation. You generally worshipped the patron god of your city and profession.
Also there were plenty of atheists in the classical era! Don’t get it twisted!
its hard to remember everything isn’t hopeless but things like this, things that show we aren’t too far gone, help. Our planet has a future
She is so lovely…
Can someone explain to me what this is supposed to be
basically, the first photo is what the landscape looked like as the result of the hydroelectric dams on the river leading into this valley that was on Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe land. It was proposed by environmental scientists that studied the area, as well as the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe themselves, that the dams were stopping not only the migrating native fish species but also the nutrient-rich sediment from reaching the valley, which was the most likely cause of the stunted reforestation and nearly completely absent flora in the floor of the valley. From 2011-2014, a project was undertaken to remove the dams to reinvigorate the valley naturally and let the native species repopulate, and the photo on the right is the result nearly a decade after completion of the dam removal. Here’s the NOAA article about the project and their observations of its effects on the flora and fauna of the region compared against their observations pre-dam-removal if you’d like to read more about it from a reputable org: https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/west-coast/dam-removals-elwha-river
I’ll try read more in a bit when I have time but (ex lake) reservoir implies that what we see would have been underwater so it obviously wouldn’t be filled with trees.
i seriously doubt there were any tributaries built in to help fish circumvent the dam, (EDIT: confirmed that when Thomas Aldwell built the dam he intentionally did not build salmon tributaries because he didn’t want to spend the money doing so) as they were built in the early 1900s and nearly 90% of the salmon territory was made inaccessible to them which devastated their population.
as for the ex lake part, here, hopefully this helps illustrate what is meant by ex-lake. the red outline is (VERY roughly as i was working with a mouse, not a pen lol) where the lakebed sediment ends, and everything from there inward would’ve been underwater. from there to the blue line is where what appears to be logging has taken place, clearing the trees and pushing the tree line back. everything in between the red and blue line should be vegetation flourishing off the watershed.
In the recent update photo, not all the water has returned, (probably because of damage done by buildup and impaction of sediment from the dam that narrowed the mouth of the inlet and reduced the flow permanently) meaning it will likely never actually fully be a lake again, but the water level did rise and you can see the vegetation, including sapling trees, returning to the area between the red and blue lines that had just been some rough scrub grasses before the dam was removed.
i understand skepticism, but this is pretty solidly an example of indigenous stewardship and activism repairing an incredibly damaged ecosystem and providing critical habitats for some endangered species to begin to repopulate
