The Council of the Colorado River Indian Tribes decided to recognize the river as a legal person under tribal law,which might help transform the discussions or at least ensure that the health of the river itself isn’t completely ignored. #cawater @ianjames.bsky.social www.latimes.com/environment/...
Why one tribe has declared the Colorado River a legal person
A tribal nation has declared the Colorado River a legal person. An Indigenous leader says it reflects how her people have traditionally valued the river as a living part of them.

This is why people who insist that capitalism/profit motive will ultimately trump racism are unfortunately and demonstrably incorrect
We’ve had endless examples of how much money there is to be made, and yet they consistently do this

I still can't believe Sony sold K-Pop Demon Hunters to Netflix thinking it would be a flop, but are betting that basketball movie with a goat is going to be a huge hit in cinemas.

Fun fact: Charlemagne lived before Europe's Genetic Isopoint.
This means that literally every white person alive today is a descendent of Charlemagne.

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

In case this thread made you love my grandparents a little, you should know that an even more important TDay tradition than rutabaga or oyster stuffing was the ritual Listening to Alice's Restaurant, without which dinner could not commence.
This is a sign to add Arlo Guthrie to your day.

My Gram, Ardith (z"l), could not cook but absolutely did not know that,+ it was understood by us all that WE WOULD NEVER TELL HER. Some Gram classics of thanksgivings past included raw paella, unseasoned boiled rutabaga, and the piece de resistance, an entire cauliflower head baked in mayo + cheddar

Oh no I just saw a picture of the art supply suitcase go by so it must be time for my yearly psa: don't buy that.
I've been given it many times in my life and it was usable once: in 1989.
"But I don't know what to get my artist friends/talented cousins for the holidays!"
I will help.
