If you haven’t gotten to read about the new climate report that just came out after Thanksgiving, here’s some of the highlights.
- Low Income and marginalized communities, including reservations, women and people with mental illnesses and/or disabilities will be hit the hardest.
- Temperatures, sea levels, and extreme weather events are on the rise and will hinder trade. So, production, manufacturing, and supply chains will be hit.
- The Midwest will see a 75% reduction in corn production and 25%+ reduction in soybean yields. Other foodstuffs were not listed, but you can assume they will be hit hard as well and that E.Coli contamination will only get worse with rising temperatures.
- Air pollution and ozone will skyrocket along with the health issues they cause.
- Food and water-bourne diseases, as well as ticks and lyme disease will skyrocket.
- Asthma and allergies will be on the rise.
- The Midwest alone could see at least 2,000 premature deaths per year due to temperatures by 2090.
- Annual GDP loss will be in the hundreds of billions per year.
- Half a billion work hours will be lost due to rising temperatures by 2100. I’m assuming this is per year.
- West Nile, Zika, Dengue, and Chikungunya cases are expected to rise with West Nile cases doubling by 2050.
- 6x more forest area burning annually by 2050.
- Dependable water will be iffy.
- Dependable electricity will be iffy with rolling blackouts and power failures.
- Real estate will skyrocket due to migrations caused by rising sea levels.
- The Midwest will start to resemble Las Vegas or Phoenix when it comes to days over 100 degrees in the summer. On average at least two months with temperatures over 100 in the summer.
- Permafrost melt will cause carbon dioxide and methane to significantly amplify climate change.
i think the most interesting part of the whole “the new addams family is bad cuz they are ugly” thing thats happening, while probably just a vocal minority (because at this point ive seen more people calling them out for being wrong than not) is like, a perfect example of how much goth has turned from an accessible counter culture of celebrating death and the macabre and the ugliness of life and a reject of traditional standards of beauty and fashion and music etc etc to a beauty pageant that celebrates the same standards of beauty, white supremacy, fatphobia, and wealth that “normie” instagram influencers and flexers have but like, halloween version, and how people expect one of the most iconic pieces of goth media about being shameless of your “Weird Quirks” and “Ugly Looks” has turned into “why arent they sexy -_-“ which is like, the whole opposite of the point
& also on another note being fat and short is not ugly you are all just cowards

hey friends, if you care about cultural appropriation and the damage it causes, please check out this awesome project!
in 2017 dior copied the design of a traditional romanian coat from the county of bihor and sold it for 30,000 euro, giving no credit to the local artisans. in response, romanian fashion magazine beau monde helped the community create their own brand, bihor couture, which sells the original coat, handmade to order, for 500 euro a piece. they also sell other traditional clothing and jewelry for much more accessible prices (5-45 euro). they’ve been hugely successful so far, and currently have enough pre-orders to cover 4.5 years of work, with 100% of the profits returning to the community.
it’s surprisingly common for big name fashion designers like dior, gaultier, tom ford and altuzarra to copy traditional romanian clothing and sell it for ridiculous prices, with minimal original input, while giving nothing back to the community where these designs originated. it’s completely unfair that a big name designer can just steal so much hard work and misuse it to make huge profits.
please support bihor couture, if not by ordering one of their products, then by spreading the news around. it’s really awesome to see a small community fight back against cultural appropriation so successfully. i hope they carry on for a long time!
Looks a lot like some traditional Slovakian stuff too. That stuff is cool - get it cheaper from the community!
