what if i just started blogging exclusively about the problems with wild horses in the western united states. what then

#look at me. look at me. they're an invasive species with significant negative ecological impacts #the wild horse advocacy groups are lying to you.#some of them are outright misrepresenting the science some of them are genuinely misguided #it doesn't matter. they're wrong #the 'positives' do not balance out the negatives #also all the drama about horses getting injured during round-ups is manufactured #the mortality rate of blm roundups is approximately 1%#that's ridiculously good for a wildlife roundup #look at me #they are not a native species #it doesn't matter that they evolved here before colonization #because that breed DIED OUT and when they were reintroduced #it was thousands of years later to an ecosystem that they are NOT co-evolved with #i am so serious right now #this is like. the perfect case study of everything wrong with science communication #and news media #and pop culture narratives #there is SO MUCH misinformation that can't be corrected bc of systemic issues with access to scientific information!!!#sorry i'm just turning in a very long paper about this today so the thoughts are percolating

They're already trying to create support for new settlements in Gaza. Unreal.

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.

For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.

The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.

So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.

#ra speaks #piracy #media piracy #pirate to make hondo ohnaka proud #obligatory ‘don’t fucking pirate small authors/artists works wtf dude’ statement.#anyone who’s seen my media bitching before knows I’m a hype man for indie films this ain’t about them #this is about corporate streaming services killing physical media bc sales numbers are less impressive than number of streams #edit: USAmericans stop telling me to buy DVDs and blurays at Walmart. think outside your borders for a hot sec. fun thought exercise.#your experiences are not universal #edit: WHO GOT THIS TO 100k. I JUST WANT TO TALK (this post is my second to hit 100k woahg.)#in other news: fix your fucking posture. drink some fucking water. and go the fuck to bed if it’s late bc it’s for me rn. peace and light.

All eyes on Rafah‼️‼️‼️

Go to the top tag and interact with it and make it go absolutely fucking viral.

And to anyone who is still complicit, get your head out of your ass.

Well done, I’m proud of them and quite impressed 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

(I will be removing/blocking useless comments, I do not need that in my comment section ty very much. Edit: However I will let the the idiocy speak for itself)
