Every day, millions of plastic pellets – lentil-sized pieces of microplastic – are pouring into our ocean, spilling from ships transporting them around the world.

You may not realise it, but almost all of the plastic products we use – from water bottles to toothbrushes to fridges – are made from these melted-down pellets or ‘nurdles’.

And though they’re only tiny, they’re causing huge harm to marine wildlife and habitats – smothering seagrass meadows and filling the stomachs of seabirds and seals, fish and turtles, meaning many starve to death.

It’s a scandal that these pellets are being allowed to pollute our ocean, especially when it’s preventable.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is the United Nations agency responsible for the safety and security of shipping and the prevention of pollution from ships. It has the power to classify plastic pellets as marine pollutants, which would make them subject to much stricter shipping regulations – immediately.

I have an end-of-life patient to whom I spoke today. She burst out laughing and said, "It was all such fun. I just had so much fun." I wish this for everyone. I wish that we each would meet death laughing, with little regret and even less fear.

Dear early archaeologists,

Human remains are not your property. I am fully aware that the governments under which you attained the excavation material did not exercise their right to stop you from removing said remains.

However, any desecration of the individual’s remains, (such as some who have permanently arranged them in a manner for display like pouring resin over the remains, retained their bones for purposes other than scientific analysis, or any purposeful ignorance of the direct wishes of their modern ancestors) is proof of not only your unnecessary abandonment of the personhood of these ancient peoples, your disregard for those who are simply unlike you in any manner, and, finally, your carelessness for their culture in which you seem to have forgotten you have dedicated your time and likely quite a lot of your own money to.

Human remains as well as the material culture of these people is not yours to deserve, obtain, or hoard.

I understand that what you did was legal. In your eyes, it may have even been the most moral thing to do to preserve a person’s memory. However, there is no excuse to permit such irreversible behavior. Archaeology is a destructive science. You must understand that your worldview is not the collective goal of the world.

Remember the humanity of those from whom you seek to learn.

#read about this in columbus and other cannibals #how the “othering” begins with disrespect of the dead and the ancestors #destruction of graves as a matter of science is such a dehumanising way to go about it all

“It's taboo to admit that you're lonely. You can make jokes about it, of course. You can tell people that you spend most of your time with Netflix or that you haven't left the house today and you might not even go outside tomorrow. But rarely do you ever tell people about the true depths of your loneliness, about how you feel more and more alienated from your friends each passing day and you're not sure how to fix it. It seems like everyone is just better at living than you are. A part of you knew this was going to happen. Growing up, you just had this feeling that you wouldn't transition well to adult life, that you'd fall right through the cracks. And look at you now, it's happening.”

“If we want to stand any chance at resisting our period’s great ills, such as rampant inequality, ecological devastation, and an escalating cost of living (which is generating social anxiety and compounding the retreat into identity-based identification and essentialism), we need to re-popularize frameworks that accurately name which groups are responsible for structuring society the way it is now. We need to make class the main fault line of social polarization. To do this presents the greatest threat to the capitalist system’s stability because it unmasks what is otherwise obscured: the system is of our own making, and we have the agency to undo it. This is what they don’t want you to know.”

allow me to once again don my tinfoil cap in order to engage my beautiful mooties in some conspiracy think

social media is largely dying. take a brief look around you and make an inventory. reddit. facebook. twitter. in one way or another, social media is being pushed to a breaking point. there are very few broad communication channels left open where we can communicate with each other en masse. where we're all centralized.

all of this is taking place despite the internet being more important and integral to our lives than ever. why? perhaps because of the organizational power? look at the george floyd protests. look at the movement that rose out of social media and mass communication and gathering and organizing and coming together.

one must ask: how is it that social media is being collectively ran into the ground at a time where global unrest is higher than it's ever been, the "work-life" fallacy is being torn to shreds and our natural world is showing big, blinking red warning signs that the debt for our hundred~ years of hubris has finally come due?

at a time when the ability to organize and communicate is becoming increasingly more important, our means of doing so at a large scale are slowly evaporating.

you can't help but wonder if this is all as intentional and deliberate as the rest of the actions of the wealthy and powerful have been.

our unity is more dangerous to our masters than anything you could possibly imagine. don't underestimate their willingness to take from us the things we hold dearest in order to prevent rebellion.

#this is ironically because the internet has become an ungovernable state entity by itself #and this is a stark threat to the ideological nonsense peddled by the state to keep its workers breeding working and consuming #if youre on the internet youre developing a consciousness that is ungovernable. it is technically anarchy #with a community coming together #moderating itself with a few base rules #no hard laws just be nice #thats a threat to good ol national security thst relies on a “national consciousness” #im not doing a good job explaining but yeah #internet is not what it used to be and if you have to do any actual effort of organising doing stuff etc #youll have to take the necessary precautions hide yourself go underground and so on
