This is the ONE main criticism I've had of my generation for years.

We are really good at rejecting tradition, for very good reasons. We are not good at understanding why tradition exists in the first place, and that tradition, as a concept, has a very practical function. Ritual is an intensely human thing, and its necessary to our survival.

There aren't many places like churches that exist anymore - a free place for people to build community and engage in community-based artistic activities and charity. There need to be more spaces like that.

What level of capitalism is it when people say out loud "content we consume is an extension of our values" as an acceptable and totally not unhinged batshit illiterate statement

Fellow zoomers... just don't

If you didn't know, a very cool fact about wasps and tomatoes is that when tomato leaves are snacked on by caterpillars, the tomato will release a chemical to attract wasps to attack the caterpillar. Calling in backup

Cotton is is particularly good at this, as injury to the plant activates defenses against pests that the allied parasitoids have evolved to recognize. Injury to a single plant can also protect neighboring plants.

5 red wolves have been killed by vehicle strikes in North Carolina, USA in the last 11 months. Keep in mind, there's usually only 15 red wolves in the wild, period. The Red Wolf Wildlife Crossing Fund will build wildlife crossings for the wolves (and other creatures) in the state. They need to reach their goal by Aug 31. Please spread the word and donate what you can.
