so much care put into housing this aging spider. why are my eyes wet

i grew up in a little desert valley called Tucson, Arizona, where it only rains 2 inches a year on average. the majority of the city’s water is pumped from an underground aquifer, which took millions of years to fill. one of the biggest conservation efforts in our city was for water, naturally, and i spent a lot of time learning about low flow toilets and 5 minute showers. i learned that filling your sink basin and washing your dishes in that water is less costly than running the tap. i learned that it only takes 2 days without water on the desert for someone to die

the city was sinking as the aquifer drained. neighborhoods fell into flood zones that didnt exist 10 years ago

there’s a road called Golf Links in the city and it is lined with golf courses. miles of green grass where grass doesn’t grow, in a valley where it doesn’t rain. why? because the rich white retirees who moved there to stop the aching in their joints decided they should also get to play golf. meanwhile our public schools taught small children like me that taking long showers would kill the world

Each one consumes ~312,000 gallons of water per day.

That consumption is equivalent to 55+ million humans per day in the United States… roughly 1/6 the entire population.

lmao i know, it happened again.

the short version: it's been revealed that the cw (the network spn aired on) has literally never been profitable since its inception in 2006, and its parent companies cbs and the wb are looking to sell it.

bonus: it looks like this is happening now because they've lost SO much money and viewership after spn ended by alienating most of its fans, who have been boycotting the network since. this is extremely funny because destiel is wildly popular, and if they had only leaned in to its popularity and exploited it, maybe the could have actually made a profit.

instead, they killed dean and cas and placed all their bets on a reboot of walker texas ranger starring jared padalecki.

on the same day, misha posted a tweet which informed us that billie eillish is such a spn fan that she actually named her cat misha. this has endless comedic possibilities as well.
