why bother caring about the environment when 1. It’s so obviously a lost cause and 2. There’s definitely going to be a nuclear war?

If you read ecology books printed in the 70s and 80s, they were absolutely convinced that whales and tigers would not survive the century. There's a whole plot in Star Trek about how whales are extinct actually. Here in Argentina, we were sure that yaguaretés would have gone extinct. It was thought that rainforests would be forever lost, because there was no way that such complex ecosystems would be restored.

this is gonna sound really bitchy but some people really need to learn to realize when someone isn't talking to them. if you don't like beans then the lady posting a bean soup recipe isn't fucking talking to you. if you dont like reading then the people who post about the books they're reading aren't fucking talking to you.

Good news everyone my 75 year old mother loved Project Hail Mary and has sworn her eternal love to Rocky like we all have

OP, I am begging you to complete her fannish journey and get her some fannish swag like a sick Rocky fanart print or some PHM pins.

Mom Update: My Mom, for the first time in her long life, has joined a Project Hail Mary fan group on Facebook and is having the absolute time of her life talking to other people about it.

While fat is frequently used to insult people of all sizes, many fat activists--those of us who are undeniably, indubitably fat by any measure--reclaim the term as an objective adjective to describe our bodies, like tall or short. It is used accordingly in a matter-of-fact way throughout the pages ahead. Fat stands in contrast to an endless parade of euphemism--fluffy, curvy, big guy, big girl, zaftig, big boned, husky, voluptuous, thick, heavy set, pleasantly plump, chubby, cuddly, more to love, overweight, obese--all of which just serve as a reminder of how terrified so many thin people are to see our bodies, name them, have them.
