not great watching deep sea mining discourse get louder and the tone basically being "perhaps this is the less harmful option because obviously we can't not make ten trillion cars"

@jordantcarlson a little of all three? Like vice owns a company called JT Leroy Holding LLC and paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to a mommy vlogger and I can't figure out why. Also, the executive compensation stuff is pretty how the hell.

today I read the Vice bankruptcy documents and there is some weird stuff in there

Lots of anti-bird posting on my TL today. Need I remind you that

• RAVENS will take pieces of bark and literally WIND-SURF on thermal updrafts in the mountains
• HONEYGUIDES are so named because they will guide humans to beehives containing DELICIOUS HONEY
• GREATER BLACK-BACKED GULLS can swallow a WHOLE RABBIT without chewing

All this (and more) just goes to show that birds are

• cool as hell
• helpful and friendly
• but most importantly, if YOU choose to mess with them, they CAN and WILL fuck you up

So please think twice before you disrespect birds on this federated verse! 🙏

Just saw a lady on the street kill a spotted lantern fly and called out "good job"

I made a new zine all about how ICT climate politics look productively different if we focus less on green consumer behaviours and more on opposing infrastructure expansions. It's quite fun, and written with a non-academic audience in mind!
