Europe is currently being burned alive and people still think climate change is a joke. It’s warmer in North Europe than in the middle eastern deserts.
Nearly all northern countries broke their decades old heat records this week.
Its only in the low hundreds in farenheit??? In America we get that for like a month or two straight every year??? Y'all need to deal is it really normally so cold over there that yall can live with a little heat???
If you’re gonna have an ignorant American attitude then please only stay on American posts. No one in North Europe has an AC in their houses. Stores, animal shelters, elderly houses, no one has AC. the houses are designed to keep the heat in. The people are not accustomed to the heat. A sudden climate shift like this is extremely dangerous to older people and babies specifically.
There are programs being run to inform elderly people what to do to not die in this heat. There was a heatwave in the Netherlands in 2010 in which approximately 500 more elderly people passed away than normally.
One thing people don’t often appreciate is that the southern US states are along the same latitude as the Middle Eastern deserts, rather than northern Europe. We’re not competing with Texas, we’re competing with northern Canada. If Saskatoon can’t handle Mexican weather, London can’t handle Middle-Eastern weather. It’s not built for it at all.
the only place for racists, fascists or otherwise in the cottagecore + naturecore + other environmental tag is in the compost as fertiliser, and that’s that
This is the most performative bullshit I have ever seen in my life. Like…that’s you!!!
I’m literally indigenous ❤️
So like…you get it then how fucking damaging the concept of cottagecore is….
used as a colonial/settler concept? absolutely. the concept of taming ~new land~ or otherwise is extremely fucked up and harmful to indigenous people everywhere. generalised european farming is also terrible for most environments it’s been introduced to and is strip mining them of essential nutrients and biodiversity.
at the same time, cottagecore has been used as an overarching term by multiple different marginizalied groups to express their desire to not constantly live in distress or an environment that is consistently damaging for them and i don’t begrudge them that. i personally find most people saying they’re anti cottagecore to be performative.
the majority of the cottagecore community aren’t planning on going on to colonise and continuously oppress local people, and are actively trying to engage with indigenous voices, permaculture, environmentalism and other necessary concepts for the continued health and survival of literally everyone. the people who want the trad wife/manifest destiny/white supremecist “cottagecore” literally don’t give shit about explanations of why term/idea may have harmful connotations to certain groups, and they’re not going to stop regardless.
all that’s being done is that 1) people are abandoning an aesthetic to be co-opted by those racist/misogynistic fuckers 2) people move onto another concept/aesthetic without actually engaging why the way they view land or these issues are problematic. shaming people for enjoying cottagecore doesn’t do shit, and instead we should be pushing for reframing of concepts and education about why certain ideas are harmful and damaging, and where improvements can be made.
This isn’t performative: this is how you keep the fash out! In the 80s literal nazis tried to make a place for themselves in punk scenes. Now why do you think punk isn’t seen as a nazi thing these days? Because at the very least people were willing to stand up and say “nazi punks get fucked” and many others were willing to help fash lose teeth and earn broken bones.
We should be helping people get fash trash out of their space, not accusing every individual who has any sort of interest in any of the things we label “cottegecore” as an imperialist colonizer or fascist. People outside communities shouldn’t be giving entire communities, aesthetics, genres, etc. to the fascists. They need to be helping the people in those communities excise the fash rash they’ve picked up so they can get back to enjoying their interests.
Tl;Dr: quit giving stuff to fascists. Start making them regret showing their faces anywhere and everywhere.
okay so fuck everything else in Dark Souls i just found out about Maneater Mildred
all she does is run around nude in the swamp with a bag over her head attacking people with a fuckoff huge butcher knife……… queen……….
The backstory for Mildred is that during development, one of the QA testers made their character like that and just invaded anyone going through Blighttown. She became so iconic to the area they made an NPC version, so that every player would experience her.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
