Every single company, government or individual celebrating the IEA's new fossil-explosion scenario is also celebrating the heating of earth by three bloody degrees:

The US is over-building LNG export capacity by a really, really, really wild degree - the IEA assumes demand will be in place, but on the grounds that the gas is cheap

BUT if the gas is cheap, the companies selling it won't make enough money to make a profit..........

want to know what the climate impact of the IEA's ACCESS scenario is - the fossil fuel industry has been re-activating the energy-poverty justifications in the past few months.

Healthcare & output, you say?

Either the input looked like this or it didn’t. In either case, this is not something you want to put in charge of healthcare.

If the input looked like this (possible), you don’t want the source of that input anywhere near your model —& you’d have to check for it.

I’m trying something different: asking you to click “weekly” on a coffee (or less!) to help sustain support for six families & a displacement camp.

Amidst ongoing bombing, famine, health crises, and homelessness, this is their sole tether for purchasing survival needs like basic food & medicine.

The sheer depravity of what I'm hearing of those prisons - this, and also torture and sexual assault.
“All of these bodies belonged to Palestinians who had been imprisoned while alive, which is one of the hallmarks of organ harvesting”

A British surgeon confirms: returned Palestinian bodies show surgically removed hearts, lungs, kidneys, and livers.

Alexis Soyer in his 1845 "A Shilling Cookery for the People" called it "Fried fish, Jewish fashion," and the first Fish n Chip shop in London was opened in 1860 by an Eastern European Jewish man named Joseph Malin.

Before that, fried chipped potatoes were only found in Irish shops.
Since we're talking shit about British food reminder that Fish n' Chips is Jewish not British

I was a fairly gothy teen in the late-90s and early-00s. Was walking down the street head to foot in black. Some lad goes, "Here, mate, your blacks are clashing." Fair play.
I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it.

All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference.

Good morning - as a woman worker I’m off to ‘ruin’ my workplace by insisting on equal pay and respectful behaviour. Couldn’t be happier? Sisters, how are you ‘ruining’ your workplace? #speirgorm #feminismrules

It’s 12 November, so it’s time to mark the 55th anniversary of the exploding whale of Oregon, an attempt to clear a cetacean carcass from a beach which prompted one reporter to say “The blast blasted blubber beyond all believable bounds”

I crosspost to three apps every hour/two hours (depending on app). This is the only app now bringing in donations.

It’s ONLY me posting for the giving circle (+ two helpers occasionally), and my hands are injured, so I have to rest them.

Every share helps so much, so I really appreciate yall.

There was a lovely little Samhain festival on the hill of Uisneach last weekend. I was asked to do some readings, so I offered #TeaLeaf readings & cards & it was very busy, but I took an early morning walk

Most of Ireland's uplands are commonage, ie co-owned by local farmers.

The ONLY real income from commonage is via subsidies, almost always for ecosystem-killing sheep. This is why Irish mountains are all empty wastelands, kept that way by your taxes.

Why are we STILL not paying farmers to rewild??

Does the replacement come flat packed and you install it yourself, or do you have to get a hedge engineer (or hedgineer) round?
