Long Overdue

Hello everyone. My loans unexpectedly yanked all the money I had in my account leaving me with nothing to pay my upcoming rent or even by food so Im opening emergency discounted comms for a limited time.

Everything is 50% off

the habitat loss, food source loss, extreme weather, etc caused by climate change are even more deadly to birds than any power plant.

wind turbines unfortunately do kill birds. but not at the numbers worth tearing down all the wind turbines. environmental assessments are always necessary when putting up infrastructure projects like this to mitigate potential harm but climate change itself is worse for all species. and that climate change is almost entirely caused by the extraction and burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas.)

Finally, physicians believe that Blacks naturally harbored diseases, notably syphilis, that threatened the health of whites. Each of these common beliefs served as rationales for abusive medical experimentation. One of the most tenacious beliefs was that Blacks did not feel pain or anxiety, which excused painful surgical explorations without anesthesia on Blacks.

Dr. Charles White declared that "[Blacks] surgical operations better than white people and what would be the cause of insupportable pain for white men, a negro would almost disregard... [I have] amputated the legs of many Negroes, who have held the upper part of the limbs themselves."

And when Kentucky surgeon Efraim McDowell wrote of gynecologic advances that were achieved by exquisitely painful surgeries, Dr. James Johnson, editor of the London Medical and Churugical Review, sneered, "when we come to reflect that all the women operated upon in Kentucky, except one, were Negresses and that these people will bear anything with nearly if not quite as much impunity as dogs and rabbits, our wonder is lessened."

More than 50% of Indigenous communities in reserve areas in Canada are at high risk of pipeline spills. When there is a spill, reserves are disproportionately impacted.

The National Energy Board and Supreme Court of Canada has a history of declaring the "public interest and economic interests outweigh Indigenous and treaty rights." Basically, Indigenous peoples don't count enough as "public" to matter.

Pipelines are built without proper consent from the Indigenous Nations they choose to occupy. Keep in mind I say choose, because this is the case even when alternative pipeline routes are suggested that could avoid reserve land. This is a direct, constant, and often violent threat to Indigenous sovereignty.

The MMIW crisis is funded by the oil industry through the creation of worker's "man camps" near reserve land. These "man camps" are nothing but pits of sexual violence and human trafficking of Indigenous women and girls. I am not exaggerating; this is well studied and well documented.
