I love you so much for this.

Could it be one of these? The first picture especially looks similar.

The story of how a woman lost her daughter because the grandmother didn’t believe that the girl’s coconut allergy was real, despite years of watching the parents trying to find out the allergen so that they could stop the girl from winding up in the emergency room. The grandmother kept the kid overnight and used coconut oil on her hair; the child went into anaphylaxis and died.

The mother said that the grandmother begs her to see her other grandchildren, as they’ve now cut ties with her; the mom’s response was, “You can come over when you bring my daughter with you.”

A horrible story of how some people just believe they know better than everyone, including doctors.

What a lovely idea!

MacKenzie Scott, Bezos’s ex. She’s given more than $14 billion to charity.

How can there be no trials of the sword?!?

I haven’t seen it mentioned, so I’ll say The Last Campfire. Cozy, cute, a bit challenging, and the story was worth it.

This is a good point.

The first thing that came to mind, oddly enough, was Blockbuster refusing to buy Netflix for the equivalent of a rat and a string to swing it with.

This is such a lovely question. Thank you for being you.

I’d say that it would be important to talk positively about the women you know. If you have a female SO, for example, tell him how smart and curious and funny she is. Make a point to be open about the respect you feel for the contributions of your female co-workers. Tell him stories about when girlfriends were clever, and so on.

Hey, I think it’s fine to cut yourself some slack on this issue. :-)

You like what you like, and if you’re going to commit resources and time to another being over 18 years or so, I think it’s fine to enjoy the way it looks! I for example love gray cats, but only because of a positive association I have with a previous pet. Are all gray cats as loving as he was? I’m sure not, but I still have such positive thoughts in my head about the grey babies. 

Internet hugs to you, friend!!

Yeah, I’m not sure why, but the link I posted keeps breaking. Try this:

If that doesn’t work, you can do a search on www.oecd-ilibrary.org for “climate tipping points.”

This is from a paper another user submitted in the lemmy.ml collapse community:

An abrupt AMOC collapse would cause profound and abrupt shifts in regional weather patterns and water cycles.

An AMOC collapse under warming reduces the growth suitability of three major staple crops – wheat, maize and rice, which provide over 50% of global calories.

It’s worth reading through that whole section. TL; DR: Nothing good.

Edited to add this horrifying graph from the paper.

Was it, though?

Yayyyyy congrats!!

Push-ups never judge me.

I lift weights. What else is there? :)

It’s easy to look at this from the lens of people just wanting power, but maybe it’s something akin to the grief, honest grief, I felt about leaving Reddit because I had been there so long as just a user. I can’t imagine how it would feel to give up control over something that I had created and curated for many years knowing that it was going to be destroyed.
