"some reason" :^)

Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, Fukushima If you can GUARANTEE that nothing even APPROACHING those could EVER happen under ANY circumstances Then I will fold to Nuclear Power

Cool So ditch coal That does not make nuclear the solution

I am not going to replace one resource we can’t renew, causes cancer, poisons the land and cannot be stored or recycled with another. That waste always has to come up somehow because it will outlast literally everything else.

If I may committ the faux pas of double posting (Maybe triple, I think I got three responses)  What I have learned tonight As I am learning much more often as I get older. Is that I have some reading to do And some high school level preconceptions to get rid of.  I stopped learning about this at some point. And I spoke as if I hadn’t.

Excuse me for quoting a dead meme But they had me with facts and logic. The only knowledge I’d ever had was stuff I’d gotten in school or thought I had absorbed better than I had. With nuclear towers as these smoke spewing monsters constently bubbling with glowing green ooze, barrel after barrel, day in and out But then I looked at how much nuclear waste is created for a given amount of power, compared to how much oil slicked slurry is produced for the same amount of coal. And I realized that I was staring at cold hard numbers that told me I didn’t know shit about shit. I could have dug in my heels and made myself look like some reactionary asshole with my head in the sand. Or I could take a breath, swallow my pride. And admit I was wrong on the internet. It’s a habit I’m trying to form.

thinking about my optometrist who was treating my eye infection and said “if it hurts, you can rinse your eye with boiled water. look at me - look at me. i want you to understand that i mean water that has been boiled and has since cooled down. not boiling water. do you understand?” like i’m so grateful for this man ensuring that I wouldn’t destroy my eyes by pouring boiling water in it, because it is an adequate assessment of my intelligence

this is a man who has experienced The Public

“Look at me”

this is cultural genocide. it happened when jewish children were stolen from their families during ww2 and given to christian families to raise as christian, it happened with residential schools where american indigenous children were stolen to have their culture beaten out of them, it happened to australian aboriginal children when their government literally tried to breed indigenous australians out of existence. we cannot let this keep happening. we cannot allow white christians to continue to steal our children and rob them of their culture and family and community.

This underpins most international adoptions. Sometimes the parents know, more often it’s the NGO that decides that these poor little brown kids are better off with white christian parents in Europe than with their own communities.
