In the picturesque coastal town of Newport Beach, California, an increasing number of individuals are choosing a unique and environmentally conscious alternative to traditional burials – Burial at Sea. This tranquil coastal community offers a serene backdrop for families seeking a peaceful ceremony to bid farewell to their loved ones. Against the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean, the practice of scattering ashes at sea becomes a poignant and eco-friendly choice for those with a deep connection to nature.

me and the word stewardship have such a funny relationship because, despite being raised culturally white and ~christian, it is a word i was introduced to exclusively through video games and environmentalism. so my mental image of the words "environmental stewardship" is like. being the vassal of thy lord the pinyon-juniper forest. being a shieldmaiden to a couple of saguaros. being some kind of glochid-encrusted squire. which is very funny but absolutely not a shared understanding

#it feels like managing people more than managing land #but that is the legacy of colonization and interest in environmental outreach/education speaking #a neutral statement with all the pros and cons it entails.#e.g. conservation 'managing' subsistence use to the deficit of everyone human and nonhuman #on the flip side: holding other settlers to task. two roads diverge in a yellow wood etc.

everybody's out here complaining about the victoria's secret show. the problem is wokeness. the problem is not enough wokeness. the problem is eating disorders or the lack of them.

WRONG

the problem with the 2023 victoria's secret show is that it didn't have a magical fancy main event bra costing literal millions of dollars. production quality, baby! drench a plus size model in millions of dollars in diamond titties and then you'd have something. you can't give the people decades of fantasy bra where the cheapest one was A LITERAL ACTUAL MILLION DOLLARS of gems and then expect them to be happy when you give them instead a dancing carrot of spirit halloween face paint price tier.

#by “everybody” i mean a very specific subset of people #also yes it's a horrible capitalist hellscape and the environmental impact is atrocious #but same for the ~impactful~ 2023 show #listen it's not my fault i know these things i come from a pageant family #i am First (woman) Of My Line to never enter (let alone place at) a pageant #a dubious but gendered distinction along with my other (just dubious) one:#First Of My Line In a Long Time to Not Go to Grad School of Some Kind #but for that one at least it was after me the flood #ain't nobody got time for grad school any more!!#whereas i think a distant cousin did continue the pageant legacy

once again thinking about the gambler nobodies, the poker league, and how luxord clearly cared for (most) of those sent away to castle oblivion

The deck of cards it floats with depict Vexen, Lexaeus, Marluxia, and Larxene, with their respective number in the Organization on the top-right and bottom-left corners.

#ooc. ☓#ik some people take the poker league thing as like. a pun for the organization as a whole.#but i take it at face value. what else are they gonna do in this boring miserable place.#and also if anyone could get all these assholes + xig and xal to come together for some late night card games it would be luxord lbr #anyway. those four on the gambler nobody and it never being explained is like. environmental storytelling that hurts so bad.#LIKE. IDK WHAT ELSE I AM SUPPOSED TO TAKE THIS CHOICE AS.#if it was marluxia larxene and demyx i'd be like oh ok. that keyblade legacy thing was dropped EARLY.#but vexen and lexaeus????????#that sure is a combo of four and leaves out zexion who also died there #so it has to be more personal than just 'those sent to CO' also

the funny thing is that i don't think younger people - and i mean those under the age of 40 - really have a grasp on how many of today's issues can be tied back to a disastrous reagan policy:

war on drugs: reagan's aggressive escalation of the war on drugs was a catastrophic policy, primarily targeting minority communities and fueling mass incarceration. the crusade against drugs was more about controlling the Black, Latino and Native communities than addressing the actual problems of drug abuse, leading to a legacy of broken families and systemic racism within the criminal justice system.

deregulation and economic policies: reaganomics was an absolute disaster for the working class. reagan's policies of aggressive tax cuts for the rich, deregulation, and slashing social programs were nothing less than class warfare, deepening income inequality and entrenching corporate greed. these types of policies were a clear message that reagan's america was only for the wealthy elite and a loud "fuck you" to working americans.

environmental policies: despite his reputation being whitewashed thanks to the recovery of the ozone layer, reagan's environmental record was an unmitigated disaster. his administration gutted critical environmental protections and institutions like the EPA, turning a blind eye to pollution and corporate exploitation of natural resources. this blatant disregard for the planet was a clear sign of prioritizing short-term corporate profits over the future of the environment.

AIDS crisis: reagan's gross neglect of the aids crisis was nothing short of criminal and this doesn't even begin to touch on his wife's involvement. his administration's indifference to the plight of the lgbtq+ community during this devastating epidemic revealed a deep-seated bigotry and a complete failure of moral leadership.

mental health: reagan's dismantling of mental health institutions under the guise of 'reform' led directly to a surge in homelessness and a lack of support for those with mental health issues. his policies were cruel and inhumane and showed a personality-defining callous disregard for the most vulnerable in society.

labor and unions: reagan's attack on labor unions, exemplified by his handling of the patco strike, was a blatant assault on workers' rights. his actions emboldened corporations to suppress union activities, leading to a significant erosion of workers' power and rights in the workplace. he was colloquially known as "Ronnie the Union Buster Reagan"

foreign policy and military interventions: reagan's foreign policy, particularly in latin america, was imperialist and ruthless. his administration's support for dictatorships and right-wing death squads under the guise of fighting "communism" showed a complete disregard for human rights and self-determination of other nations.

public health: yes, reagan's agricultural policies actually facilitated the rise of high fructose corn syrup, once again prioritizing corporate profits over public health. this shift in the food industry has had lasting negative impacts on health, contributing to the obesity epidemic and other health issues.

privatization: reagan's push for privatization was a systematic dismantling of public services, transferring wealth and power to private corporations and further eroding the public's access to essential services.

education policies: his approach to education was more of an attack on public education than anything else, gutting funding and promoting policies that undermined equal access to quality education. this was, again, part of a broader agenda to maintain a status quo where the privileged remain in power.

this is just what i could come up with in a relatively short time and i did not even live under this man's presidency. the level at which ronald reagan has broken the united states truly can't be overstated.

Legacy of the Hive: A Beekeeper's Journey in Rural India #Beekeeping

The sun rises over the sprawling fields, bathing the earth in a golden hue, the kind that makes you squint and feel the warmth on your skin. The hives are humming, a low, persistent drone that’s both soothing and unnerving, like the heartbeat of the world. Ramesh stands there, feeling the weight of generations on his shoulders, his father’s voice echoing in his head, reminding him of the delicate…

The Human Longing for Children (Why it's a Good Thing)

Recently I was watching a video on YouTube and the commentator was addressing an article in The New Yorker titled The Morality of Having Kids in a Burning, Drowning World. In it, the author, who is on the extreme side of “climate change” alarmism, discusses in meandering, confusing jargon a strange topic: is having kids the right thing to do? Can having kids be right or wrong? The world for…

BBC News: G7 Summit: Africa seeks new role as nations eye its resources

BBC News - G7 Summit: Africa seeks new role as nations eye its resources

minutes

Resources such as Democratic Republic of Congo's cobalt are in huge global demand because of their use in electric vehicle batteries

Africa will not accept that it "should just continue to be a source of raw materials" for the rest of the world, the African Union's Trade Commissioner has told the BBC.

Albert Muchanga says instead his continent wants a future of "genuine and mutually beneficial relationships" with its trade partners.

It comes as the AU's chair has been invited to the G7 summit in Japan amid intensifying competition with China for Africa's natural resources.

With Western powers seeking greater trade links with the continent, there have been visits to a host of African countries in the run-up to the summit from the leaders of France and Germany, as well as the US vice-president.

Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida visited Egypt, Ghana, Kenya and Mozambique at the start of this month as he sought to bolster African support for his efforts to counter Chinese and Russian influence on the continent, as well as in regards to Taiwan and Ukraine.

Speaking in Maputo on 4 May he said: "Many countries of the so-called Global South are hurt and suffering from high food and energy prices. The cause of this issue should be traced to Russia's invasion of Ukraine."

Mr Muchanga welcomes the recognition of Africa's problems. He says the disruption caused by the Covid pandemic is also to blame for problems that are "multi-dimensional".

"It's a recognition of that the North and the South want deeper interdependence, and it's welcome."

Several G7 leaders have visited Africa in recent weeks as they seek to strengthen cooperation on a range of global challenges

The Zambian official says that with the era of colonialism now in the past, Africa wants to get more benefit from that relationship by equipping itself with the skills to keep more of the economic value from its vast natural resources.

"We are not going to continue as the historical sources of raw materials. It will not work because of a growing population, which wants opportunities for decent jobs, and that can only come from the processes of manufacturing and agro-processing," he says.

"A good example has been given by DRC and Zambia, when they're going to come up with a joint project on the production of batteries for electric vehicles." The two countries are major exporters of the copper and cobalt needed for the batteries, which are in growing demand around the world.

US-China rivalry

The United States is trying to boost its trade ties with Africa as it seeks to tackle climate change. During a visit to Tanzania in March, Vice-President Kamala Harris highlighted a project which will benefit from US financing, which she said was a "first-of-its-kind processing facility on the continent for minerals that go into electric vehicle batteries".

"Importantly, raw minerals will soon be processed in Tanzania, by Tanzanians. It will help address the climate crisis, build resilient global supply chains, and create new industries and jobs."

Demand for products such as Zambia's copper has led other countries to focus on increasing trade with Africa

Last year, China's trade relationship with Africa reached a record $282bn (£226bn), according to Chinese customs data. That marked an 11% increase from the year before as prices for commodities such as oil, copper, cobalt and iron ore surged. It also means Africa-China trade is nearly four times as big as US-Africa trade, which came in at $72.6bn.

However "more manufactured and value-added products are shipped to the US than are shipped to China", according to Florizelle Liser, who runs Corporate Council on Africa, a Washington-based organisation that aims to boost US-Africa trade.

China has become Africa's largest trading partner since it joined the World Trade Organisation in 2001

Ms Liser adds that Africans "whether in government or the private sector really do like working with US companies for a variety of reasons. They liked the American brand."

"They liked the fact that working with the Americans, often there's more transparency in the relationship. And they also like the fact that US companies do a lot in terms of skills transfer, and in technology transfer, and they don't necessarily see this with all the other partners, China as well as others."

China debt concerns

That lack of transparency in trade relations was criticised recently by outgoing World Bank President David Malpass, who told the BBC he was concerned about the long-term implications of Chinese loans to Africa and called for international financial support to be more transparent.

Billions of dollars have been spent on projects such as ports, railways and electricity grids. Despite the economic benefits, it has left countries including Ethiopia, Ghana and Zambia struggling to repay their debts amid claims that China is using them as leverage for political influence to support its demand for natural resources.

China funded the construction of ports such as Walvis Bay in Namibia which have allowed the export of natural resources

During a visit to Beijing by Gabon's president last month, China's Vice-Foreign Minister Deng Li denied that was the case, saying: "We are not bringing a so-called 'debt trap'. We are bringing development opportunities. We have never attached any political strings to our aid and economic assistance to African countries."

The African Union's Mr Muchanga says: "China has really done quite a considerable job in promoting infrastructure deployment across Africa through the Belt and Road Initiative."

However he says transparency in trade relations is very important. "There should be no hidden clauses. Unfortunately, there have been hidden clauses in the past."

He adds that "at the negotiating table before the deal is signed, everybody should be very clear on what they're signing on. I think that's the lesson that we need to take into the future."

One way Africa is trying to strengthen its hand in trade deals is through the development of the African Continental Free Trade Area. The flagship project of the African Union is aimed at eliminating trade barriers and boosting trade within the continent but has yet to be fully implemented.

"The next stage is to move it to an African Customs Union," explains Mr Muchanga, who hopes that eventually AfCFTA will allow its 54 members to strengthen its negotiating hand with the rest of the world on trade in a similar manner to the European Union.

Mr Muchanga says that the AU's invitation to the G7 summit is "a recognition of the systemic influence of Africa to the global economy".

"Africa should really be able to speak very strongly with one voice on all global economic issues."
