It's been a slow trickle ever since COVID started. Just progressively losing any hope of having a good life long term. Hormones got banned in my state and I feel really dysphoric. The people in my life don't care about me. I could die right now and I don't think anybody would even realize for a few weeks. Idk man, what's even the point anymore?

Not a single emperor penguin chick survived spring in parts of Antarctica

As the world goes through what some scientists believe to be its hottest year on record, emperor penguin populations in the Antarctic are suffering catastrophic losses, with no chicks surviving the spring of 2022 in four of five colonies observed for a new study.

I'm working with doctors in admin and the Healthcare collapse? It's bad folks.

Doctors on call for ED while doing clinical at the same time.

Entire departments refusing patients in clinics up to 75 miles away. 3 weeks to make an appointment. Not to be seen, to make an appointment.

Shortages in all departments.

The only silver lining is that the there is a lot of solidarity among the people here.

you hate to see it folks!

wall of flame approaching my home last night

It all burned down. Neighbors are sending pictures of destroyed homes and schools. I only have my phone, laptop, and toothbrush. I don't know what to do. Doubt the fire will be better next year, but no clue where to head to. I'm going to get high

Update: we have family a few towns over that are letting us stay, so we're fortunate there

got a few documents and heirlooms in the van and am waiting to see flames cresting the ridge and then I'm loading up the dogs and cats and getting the fuck outta here

pieces of charcoal have been falling from the sky since 3 pm

it comes for some of us before others

as i am now so you shall be

enter the anthropocene and follow me

update: i loaded up the dogs and cats and got the fuck outta there, we'll see in the morning if the farm's still there

update2: farm's still there, fingers crossed pray 4 me

I mashed up two tweets together and I made some edits for clarity.

A mature saguaro takes 125 years to grow. They keep going down around Phoenix. [...] Saguaros open tiny pores on their skin at night to take in CO2. When it's too hot overnight, they can't do it. [...] It's happening all over South Mtn too. Saguaros are native there.

Another reply...

There's also potentially some heat stress from underground issues with the construction and lack of shade. You can see that out in east valley or scottsdale- stressed out saguaros on one side and perfectly healthy, normal flowering and fruiting on the other side of the road in undeveloped acreage.

We could use more shade (especially the leguminous trees).
