‘A different dimension of loss’: inside the great insect die-off

franzanthony:

“It’s easy to care about the cute and cuddlies.”

But if you care about food, it’s the insects that make your fruits happen. Your seafood? They’re being overfished to near-extinction.

If you’re into health, chemicals from sea slugs are being tested to fight cancer in the US.

While we’re all being distracted by pandas and polar bears, an ecological collapse is happening behind our back. Without these tiny critters, humans really won’t last long either.

Nowhere in America can a full-time minimum wage worker afford to rent a two-bedroom apartment

There is nowhere in this country where someone working a full-time minimum wage job could afford to rent a two-bedroom apartment, according to an annual report released Thursday documenting the gap between wages and the cost of rental housing.

Downsizing to a one-bedroom will only get you so far on minimum wage. Such housing is affordable in only 12 counties [in the entire country] located in Arizona, Oregon and Washington states, according to the report by the National Low Income Housing Coalition.

When it comes to the MBTI community, have we all truly examined ourselves to ensure we are the type we are? Like especially the intuitives. Have we looked at the different types we could possibly be? Or did we choose the one that caught our attention the quickest? Could our behaviors be explained more clearly by other functions than the ones we posses in the order they are? Are we truly the type we say we are or are we trying to emulate what we want to be?

the concept of Plutonian generations is really fascinating to me, i’d be interested in hearing your thoughts on the Pluto in Scorpio generation if you felt like sharing?

they are cool. fixed signs in pluto (leo, aquarius, scorpio, and taurus) represent a generation of revolutionaries

this is a generation born into a time when things once forbidden were thrust into consciousness, diseases like AIDS, learning of terrorism in primary school, and even the satanic ritual abuse claims. pluto in scorpios have been forced to fight against their government to save the environment (climate change denial, pandering to resource companies) taurus, the ecology sign is the duality of scorpio meaning the war is very much environmental, being highly surveilled by authorities (losing privacy), and fighting government for integrity of mind (over prescription of pharmaceuticals, or unreceiving of adequate psychiatric care for the ‘gloomy generation’ -depression, ADHD etc;. revealing the hidden issue of self harm. other generations were forced through an economic or employment depression, the depression pluto in scorpios battle with is their own. they are destructive for the sake of change, change to society and in themselves. for pluto in scorpios it seemed like there was no where to go – parents seemed misunderstanding, religion and the church was no longer a sensible option, everything school seemed to teach was a lie, and government corrupt and immersed only in the needs of an egocentric pluto in leo generation as aristocratic lords  

pluto is the ruler of scorpio so this generation wields nothing but pure power, ready to rule the world with integrity, honesty, and little tolerance for injustice. in realizing their own destiny they will manifest the true destiny for all humanity, goodness and soul
