Facebook has the nearly most vicious political discourse I've ever seen. All under real names.

That PA "anonymous" theory of creating jackasses isn't looking too good these days.

also, reminder that in a few days the full devastation of irma will be apparent, relief efforts will begin; and that your money is worth more than physical goods, and that you should vet organizations before donating.

so when you see irma and jose in the news. when you see corporations making token efforts or denying the severity of climate change. when you see the right repeatedly obstructing any effort at the barest mitigation of climate change, which our actions are actively worsening.

remember that we've known about all of this since at least 2003, and they have chosen the world that is burning and sinking and in which their bank accounts have an extra zero on the end.

most of the current atmospheric carbon and methane was primarily created by industrialized nations, i.e. nations which can afford infrastructure like FEMA and other kinds of disaster relief, and which are not existentially threatened by climate change.

the victimized nations, those struggling out of colonial pasts and perennially overlooked, have been doomed with barely a second thought.

even putting aside rising sea levels. island nations like antigua and barbuda and the others in the carribean are directly and existentially victimized by this aspect of climate change.

the cost of carbon emissions (which numerous studies have shown to be the primary factor in the actively-observed greenhouse effect) is not some abstract "green score." it's human lives, in the thousands and tens of thousands. it's the very existence of some countries.

the thing about raising the temperature of the sea is that you're injecting energy directly into it

hurricanes are powered hot water. if you've ever watched a meteorologist talk about a hurricane on the news you're probably aware of this. a cat 1 becomes a cat 3 becomes a cat 5 when passing over hot water.

the oceans are continuing to heat up. hurricanes are extreme as a direct result of this.

antigua and barbuda have already been passed over. it's unclear so far what the total extent of the damage is, but barbuda may be near-completely destroyed. expect the fatality rate to be high.

puerto rico is in the path. it's going to be hit hard. is being hit hard right now. entire towns may be destroyed.

cuba's likely going to be hit, pretty badly, too.

...

but this is the atlantic, surely hurricanes are expected this time of year?

let's talk about irma.

while the news around irma has been focused primarily on its effects on the US (passing through florida, perhaps grazing georgia) -- which, to be sure, is an important concern -- what's been largely glossed over is that the island nations between its origin and its eventual dissipation are going to be devastated. it's a category 5 hurricane and it's passing right over the Caribbean.

is there a list somewhere of tv shows that AREN'T transphobic/homophobic?

I want to watch something, but I'm tired of stuff that sucks

The species name Least Weasel is actually a misnomer. It's the same amount of weasel compressed into a denser form. https://awoo.space/media/aox2mrnlVDeMARtGEd8

Hi Folx, my name's hellojed and I'm a game developer looking for a new gig

Are you, or someone you know a videogam developer who needs someone with a wide range of skills and experience? Someone who's worked as a Designer and a Programmer? At Multiple Studios? And they know a lot of stuff! Look no further!

My portfolio of stuff is here:

My Personal projects are here:
https://hellojed.itch.io/

If you work somewhere that's hiring, let me know, if not, feel free to boost.

My girlfriend and I really REALLY need help; our rent is (over)due on Friday, which is my payday, but because there is one day of library work on my check, deductions from insurance etc. are being taken out of it. This leaves less than 200, and our rent is 750.

If we can't pay rent, we will have to move. To where... I don't know. But please, if you have ANYTHING to spare, consider helping us. We are two transfem people living in Virginia, one hour from Charlottesville. Whether you can personally help or not, please spread this as far as you can. You can donate at either of these two places:

Love to you all!

Trans girls are great!

Btw, i had to make a game last semester at college, using BGI and blablabla (i complained about it a lot in here). anyway, i kinda made and exact copy of it for GameMaker (and in english), kept the same limitations and art.
