There once was a boy
who loved a girl so much.
When they were grown,
she died
and forgot him.
He was patient.
He stayed.
He reminded her
again and again
until she remembered.
And that was love.
Long-game.

Why this #matters for #climate #change
Climate change does not introduce a new human behavior.
It #increases the #frequency and #severity of #hazards in places where people have always lived with risk.
Historically, populations leave not when danger is recognized, but when:
#losses become frequent
#recovery systems fail
#adaptation no longer works
Until then, #staying is #consistent with how #humans have always lived.

2026-01-19 06:18:10 UTC

- reply

Key #pattern across all cases
#Environmental #risk was #known , not hidden.
#Disasters were #episodic , not constant.
#Recovery was #possible with #available #technology and #social #systems
#People #rebuilt until the #cost of #rebuilding #exceeded the #benefits of staying.

#Arid and #drought-prone regions

#Coastal and #delta #regions
Coastal zones and river deltas have always faced #storms #erosion and #flooding
These regions enabled #trade #fishing #transportation and #economic #growth

Storm damage did not negate the value of location.

#Volcanic #regions
#Populations have lived near #active #volcanoes for centuries, including areas surrounding Mount Vesuvius, Mount Etna, and volcanoes in Indonesia and Japan.
#Eruptions were #devastating but #infrequent
Volcanic #soils were among the most #fertile available, supporting high crop yields.
#Cultural #attachment and agricultural benefits sustained #long-term #settlement despite known danger.
#Risk was #accepted because the #land #sustained #life between disasters.

2026-01-19 06:12:53 UTC

Historical examples: humans knowingly living with #environmental #risk
Humans have always made #settlement decisions that #balance #risk against benefit. The presence of danger has rarely been enough, on its own, to prevent people from living in hazardous environments.
#Floodplains
Early civilizations developed along major rivers such as the Nile, Tigris–Euphrates, Indus, and Yellow River.
#Seasonal #flooding destroyed homes and crops, but also deposited nutrient-rich sediment.
The #agricultural #productivity of floodplains outweighed periodic losses.
#Communities #rebuilt repeatedly, adapting structures rather than abandoning the land.
Flood risk was understood, expected, and incorporated into life.

Furry culture shouldn’t cost that much.
Some start with ears, tail etc.
Checked into it and
Decide your suit type
#Partial : head, paws, tail (most common)
#Plantigrade: human leg shape, comfy
#Digitigrade : animal leg shape, foam padding, dramatic silhouette
#Fullsuit : maximum immersion, maximum heat
Start with a partial if this is your first build. Wisdom speaks softly but firmly here.
OTOH: I’ve done all in various “stages” & costumes the last few years so 😂🤣😂

My Fan Theory: 📜 THE #COEN BIBLE
(WATCH ORDER)
#GENESIS — The #Fall (sin enters, consequences begin)
Start where bad decisions first crack reality.
1. Blood Simple
Jealousy, violence, misunderstanding. Once blood is spilled, nothing resets.
2. Miller’s Crossing
Power, loyalty, betrayal. Civilization organizes the fall into systems.
⸻
#PROVERBS — Moral Wisdom (choices matter)
Clear ethics in a messy world.
3. Fargo
Greed vs decency. Kindness still counts.
4. True Grit #TrueGrit
#Justice pursued without sentiment. Right and wrong are #sharp-edged
⸻
#ECCLESIASTES — Meaninglessness (vanity of vanities)
The shrug phase.
5. The Big Lebowski
Let go. Striving is the trap. The Dude abides. #thedude is #GOAT
6. The Man Who Wasn’t There
Detachment becomes erasure. Silence as lifestyle.
⸻
#JOB — #Righteous #Suffering (why do bad things happen?)
No answers are coming.
7. A Serious Man
Modern Job. The #universe does not #explain itself.
8. Inside Llewyn Davis
Talent without luck. Time loops. The dog keeps running.
⸻
#EXODUS — Deliverance (escape & rebirth)
A brief mercy.
9. O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Wandering, baptism, release. Salvation via bluegrass.
⸻
THE #PROPHETS — False Idols (warnings ignored)
Ego, spectacle, lies.
10. Barton Fink
False prophet of “the common man.” Tower of Babel energy.
11. Hail, Caesar!
Everyone worships something. Nobody’s sure what.
⸻
#REVELATION — The #Unveiling
Not destruction. Exposure.
12. No Country for Old Men
Fate without motive. Evil without explanation.
13. The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
Death anthology. All flesh fades. Stories remain.

This argument is elegant in theory, but it collapses under empirical weight.
Hayek, Mises, and Hoppe are right about one thing: #central #planners #cannot #substitute for #local #knowledge
#Environmental #justice fails when it tries to #micromanage #outcomes from afar. But that critique quietly assumes something that #history repeatedly #disproves
that #markets actually #enforce #property #rights against powerful actors.
They often don’t. 🚨
The real environmental failures we point to aren’t the result of #collectivism or #commons by default. They’re the result of #asymmetric #power delayed #harm and #legal #insulation
Mars Hill.
Cancer Alley.
Flint.
Parkersburg.
These were not failures of “too much socialism.” They were failures of #markets without #enforceable #accountability
In Parkersburg, property rights existed. Contracts existed. Markets existed. DuPont still dumped PFAS for decades while knowing the reproductive and carcinogenic risks. Why? Because the costs were externalized across time and bodies, and the #legal #system #lagged far behind #chemistry
Lawsuits arrived after #exposure was #universal. Markets didn’t price that risk. They buried it.
Hayek’s knowledge problem cuts both ways. #Communities #lacked #access to internal corporate data. Residents didn’t know what was in their water. Prices cannot signal harms that are:
#invisible
#delayed
#non-consensual
#biologically #cumulative
Mises’ “tragedy of the commons” is also misapplied here. The most #catastrophic #environmental #harms did not arise from communal ownership, but from #privatized #profit with #socialized #damage.
Privatization without strict #liability simply accelerates extraction. Ownership alone does not guarantee stewardship when exit is easy and harm is slow.
Hoppe’s vision is the most revealing. In theory, pollution is “aggression against property.” In reality, when #corporations #own the #courts by #scale , #victims cannot meaningfully #arbitrate
Private covenant communities don’t protect downstream rivers, unborn children, or plankton. They #protect those who can #afford to #exclude themselves.
Environmental justice is not a call for central planning utopia. At its #core , it is a recognition that some harms are #involuntary #unavoidable and #unequally distributed, and that markets left alone have #repeatedly #failed to prevent them.
The question is not “markets vs the environment.”
It is who bears #risk who #captures #profit , and who waits #decades for #proof while #biology keeps score.
#Free #markets #excel at #innovation #once #costs are #internalized
Environmental justice exists because, historically, they haven’t been.

Why people say “it looks like…”
Because these #places aren’t exceptions.
They are #templates
When someone says:
“This looks like Mars Hill / Cancer Alley / Flint / Parkersburg”
They’re not being poetic.
They’re saying:
we’ve seen this #pattern before
we know how it #ends
and we’re watching it #happen #again

What ties them all together
Different #places
Different #pollutants
Same #structure.
They all share:
1. #Proximity
Harm placed near communities with limited power.
2. #Latency
#Illness appears #years or #decades later.
3. #Denial
Early #warnings #dismissed as anecdotal or unproven.
4. #Delay
#Regulation and #cleanup #lag far behind #exposure
5. #Diffusion
#Responsibility spread so thin no one is fully #accountable
6. #After-the-fact #response
#Cleanup or #settlements #arrive only #after #damage is #permanent

“It looks like Parkersburg.”
#Corporate #knowledge + #deliberate #poisoning
#Parkersburg West Virginia is the #DuPont case.
What defines it:
#PFAS (C8) dumped into water for decades
internal documents showing DuPont knew the #risks
#contamination #spread to tens of #thousands of people
Parkersburg looks like:
#chemicals that never #break down
#reproductive #harm and #cancer
#denial #followed by #delayed #settlement
#accountability arriving after #universal #exposure
This is the #clearest #example of knowing #harm followed by #strategic #delay

“It looks like Flint.”
#Government #failure + #cost-cutting over human #life
Flint, Michigan is not about industry dumping toxins.
It’s about #state #decisions.
What happened:
#officials switched #water sources to save money
#corrosion #control was #ignored
#lead #leached into #drinking #water
#residents #complained and were #dismissed
Flint looks like:
#infrastructure #neglect
#regulatory #agencies #lying or #minimizing #harm
people being told the “ water is safe “ when it isn’t
#irreversible #damage to #children’s #brains and #bodies
#Flint proves that harm doesn’t require #corporations alone.
#Governments can #do it too.

“It looks like Cancer Alley.”
#Industrial scale + #racialized #sacrifice
Cancer Alley refers to an 85-mile stretch along the Mississippi River in #Louisiana packed with:
#petrochemical #plants
#refineries
#plastics #manufacturers
The defining features:
#predominantly #Black #communities
some of the #highest #cancer #risks in the #US
#emissions that are #legal but #cumulatively #devastating
Cancer Alley looks like:
#zoning #decisions that prioritize #industry over #people
#pollution #concentrated where #resistance is #weakest
#cancer #risk measured in #multiples , not #percentages
This is #environmental #injustice at full volume.
Not #accidental
Not #subtle

“It looks like Mars Hill.”
Quiet #industrial #exposure + #unanswered #cancer fears
Mars Hill #Indianapolis represents neighborhoods that:
grew alongside #rail #yards #coal #facilities and #industry
absorbed #pollution #slowly over #decades
were never formally declared “toxic” until much later
The harm here is:
#chronic #exposure to #carcinogens like #PAHs from #coal #tar
#contamination “discovered” after people were already sick
#community #reports of #cancer without the kind of #data #courts #demand
Mars Hill looks like:
#contamination acknowledged
#causation disputed
#cleanup late
#justice #incomplete
This is #environmental #harm that stays #local and #personal often #invisible #outside the #neighborhood

2026-01-18 21:26:48 UTC

Each 🔻is a #case #study of the same #failure, just expressed through different #pollutants #timelines and #communities
I’ll explain them one by one, plainly. A thread #🧵
It looks like Mars Hill.
It looks like Cancer Alley.
It looks like Flint.
It looks like Parkersburg.

What #environmental #injustice looks like
It looks like:
#children growing up next to #toxic sites
#cancer #clusters that are “unprovable”
#water that’s technically #legal but #unsafe
#air that #fails health #standards year after year
#communities told to #wait while exposure continues
It looks like Mars Hill
It looks like Cancer Alley
It looks like Flint

Why #environmental #justice had to become a #movement
Because for #decades
#harmful #facilities were intentionally sited where resistance was weakest
#health impacts were #dismissed as #anecdotal
#cleanup happened only #after #lawsuits or #media pressure
#regulators prioritized #industry continuity over #community #health
This wasn’t #hidden
It was #normalized

3. #Equal #protection
#Environmental #laws should be:

#Delayed #enforcement is still #harm

2. #Meaningful #involvement
People affected by #environmental #decisions should:
be #informed early
have real #input
not just be “notified” after decisions are made
A public hearing after #permits are #approved is not justice.

The three #core #pillars
1. #Fair treatment
No #community should be used as a dumping ground because it has:
#less #money
less #political #power
less #legal #access
#Pollution should not be a #zip-code #lottery

Environmental justice asks one simple question:
Who gets the #pollution and who gets the #protection ?
Historically, the answer has been:
#low-income communities
#working-class #neighborhoods
#communities of #color
#rural or #politically #weak areas
They get:
#landfills
#highways
#chemical #plants
#contaminated #water
#delayed #cleanup
While wealthier areas get:
#parks
#clean #air
#buffers
faster #enforcement
#political #responsiveness
#Environmental #justice #exists because that #pattern was not #accidental

2026-01-18 21:09:32 UTC

Environmental justice is the idea that no group of people should bear a #disproportionate share of #environmental #harm , and that everyone deserves #equal #protection and a real say in decisions that affect their #health #land #water and #air
That’s the definition.
Here’s what it actually means in practice. #🧵

#DuPont already #proved that #corporations can #knowingly #poison #reproduction for #decades

The #pattern , fully #exposed
DuPont → PFAS → reproduction harm → denial → delay → settlement
Sacklers → opioids → mass death → denial → delay → settlement

The #fertility #connection
#PFAS and #plastic additives:
#disrupt #testosterone
#reduce #sperm #quality
#damage #reproductive #organs
#persist across #generations
🚨🚨🚨
Plastic in men’s testicles is not shocking.
It is exactly what #DuPont already #showed would happen.

The plankton connection
#PFAS and #plastic-related chemicals:
#accumulate in aquatic ecosystems first
#interfere with reproduction at the base of the food chain
#biomagnify upward
Plankton don’t get lawsuits.
They just stop reproducing.
Humans notice later.

Why #DuPont matters for #plastics #plankton and #fertility
DuPont proves three critical things:
1. Corporations can #know about reproductive harm and #continue anyway
This is not ignorance.
It’s #risk #management
2. #Endocrine #disruption is #real #measurable and #devastating
#Courts accepted it.
#Science confirmed it.
#People suffered it.
3. #Delay is the #strategy
By the time #accountability arrives:
#exposure is #universal
#causation is %diluted
#cleanup is #impossible
#liability is #capped
This is the same #structure we are watching with #microplastics now.

The turning point
The #case eventually forced:
one of the #largest #epidemiological #studies ever #conducted
#independent #science #outside #corporate #control
#public #disclosure of #internal #documents
#DuPont and its spinoff #Chemours paid hundreds of #millions
BUT
#executives were not jailed
the #chemicals were already #global
#PFAS are now in nearly all #humans on #Earth
Again: #money #paid after #damage was #irreversible
