i cry at baking shows

one thing i wanna say though is data centers being built in rural areas is environmental racism + classism so when i see ppl bitching about locals bitching about data centers im like oh it’s literally because it’s not your backyard being demolished and your air not being polluted and your waterways not being ran dry and your soundscapes not being raised to unhealthy decibels ….

Not to mention that these smaller communities straight up do not have the infrastructure to support these things being forced on them. A small town near here has one going up, that the residents tried to stop, because the damn thing will use more water and more power than the entire town itself. The electric company already announced their first rate hike and the center isn't even operating yet.

now can we perhaps get a major publication to pick up the story of how tumblr's staff is massively hostile to trans women and actively lets harassment directly in violation of its tos proliferate constantly . maybe then our good friend matthew would do something productive about that too
