Ya know I hate to be that guy, but like, a great way we could be helping the environment would be to ease restrictions on auto imports. There's a lot of "pavement queen" trucks that could be easily replaced by smaller, more fuel efficient light duty trucks like the Toyota Hilux, Honda Acty, Nissan Clipper, Daihatsu Hi Jet, and so many others.
It's not like small trucks don't exist, we just ban their import and as a result American auto manufacturers have no need to compete with them. The models exist, but are prohibited from import until they're both technologically obsolete or so high mileage they're not worthwhile purchases for use.
By lifting these bans we can reduce emissions just due to the fact that there will be availability of 4 cylinder trucks and vans, which also helps consumers due to the fuel efficiency. If the American manufacturers refuse to adapt, their downfall is exclusively on themselves.
Just some food for thought.

I think MARS should make cadmium yellow and activated charcoal black m&ms so as long as you don't eat too many yellow ones without the black ones you'll be fine.
They should just straight up have chocolate with pieces of charcoal in it and say it's healthy or some shit because it absorbs toxins. By this time next year I want activated charcoal mixed with black salt and black pepper to be as common a salad topping as croutons.

Today, I am learning about Malcolm X, and the way he talks about white liberals really struck a chord with me.
youtube
I also found this quote from him about John Brown, a white abolitionist who went to war for his beliefs and helped push America towards civil war. I only learned about John Brown from my very racist AP US History teacher, Mr. Green, of Hampton Township, at Hampton High School, in D Hall, who lied to us and said the Civil War wasn't about slavery. And so this'll shock you, but I never learned about Malcolm X in school! Anyway, Malcolm X says:
“We need allies who are going to help us achieve a victory, not allies who are going to tell us to be nonviolent. If a white man wants to be your ally, what does he think of John Brown? You know what John Brown did? He went to war. He was a white man who went to war against white people to help free slaves. He wasn’t nonviolent. White people call John Brown a nut. Go read the history, go read what all of them say about John Brown. They’re trying to make it look like he was a nut, a fanatic. They made a movie on it, I saw a movie on the screen one night. Why, I would be afraid to get near John Brown if I go by what other white folks say about him. But they depict him in this image because he was willing to shed blood to free the slaves. And any white man who is ready and willing to shed blood for your freedom—in the sight of other whites, he’s nuts. As long as he wants to come up with some nonviolent action, they go for that, if he’s liberal, a nonviolent liberal, a love-everybody liberal. But when it comes time for making the same kind of contribution for your and my freedom that was necessary for them to make for their own freedom, they back out of the situation. So, when you want to know good white folks in history where black people are concerned, go read the history of John Brown. That was what I call a white liberal. But those other kind, they are questionable. So if we need white allies in this country, we don’t need those kind who compromise. We don’t need those kind who encourage us to be polite, responsible, you know. We don’t need those kind who give us that kind of advice. We don’t need those kind who tell us how to be patient. No, if we want some white allies, we need the kind that John Brown was, or we don’t need you. And the only way to get those kind is to turn in a new direction.”
#original#malcolm x#john brown#racism#anti-racism#allyship#civil rights#american civil rights movement#my schooling left out a LOT of stuff that seemed to be left out for no other reason than it would make us confront modern racism#i went to a school that was like 99% white and the other 1% was Asian i didn't have a full conversation with a Black person until I#was already in high school. it was fucking bad and that system produced a LOT of racists i mean a LOT#i had to unlearn a lot of things in order to try and become the kind of white person that doesn't suck for people of color to be around#we were never taught outright that Black folk are inferior but we were instead taught that racism is over and we needn't worry about it.#aka we were taught that any incidences of modern racism were essentially harmless and exaggerated. which is so deeply evil and insidious.#and NO ONE EVER EXPLAINED WHY OUR ENTIRE TOWNSHIP HAD NO BLACK PEOPLE - IT WAS WEIRD HOW NO ONE TALKED ABOUT IT. FUCK SUBURBIA MAN!#You don't have to tell a white person racist beliefs to make them more racist. We'll pick those up from our segregated environments.#No no you'll have much much more success by telling him that his apathy and his aggressive dismissal of racial issues is valid.#ALL YOU HAVE TO DO is place a child in an all-white environment in America... and change nothing.#WE HAD KIDS WITH CONFEDERATE FLAGS ON THEIR TRUCKS. IT WAS FUCKING ///PENNSYLVANIA/// - WE WERE IN THE UNION. Y'ALL.#and now that kid's probably a cop if i had to guess#anyway fuck racism and fuck you mr. green and i am gonna do a lot of reading on malcolm x on my fucking own i guess#edit: *All you have to do is place a white child nearly ANYWHERE in America and change nothing.#If you're white and not teaching your kids anti-racism then you have failed them and you have failed the people of color in this country#also why tHE FUCK would you put your child in an all-white school i mean test scores be DAMNED who DOES that?!

I know this is really the case all over the world tbh (and also does happen in this country pretty frequently too) so it’s nothing special, but there’s a lot of I guess political instability in the region where I live rn, massive protests against the government going on and roads being closed and police attacking people and shit, without any signs of improving yet and with everything else going on globally all accumulating I’m just a bit ...

An Egyptian vendor in Upper Egypt throws his produce onto aid trucks upon learning that they are headed to Gaza.
Despite the traitorous coordination and normalization efforts of the Arab regimes, the people remain dedicated to Palestine.

i have mastered the art of dealing with my fathers snoring… the key is to fall asleep before he does (wearing my autism headphones) and then when i inevitably wake up at 3am i take them off to put my airpods in , piano music blasting at full volume , then put thr autism headphones on top :)
