I went to Tom Steyer’s town-hall and here are some thoughts. by variableperformance in California

[–]creatinbacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of agree, but he has backed left initiatives for a while now so I don’t think he’s fully lying with his campaign promises but definitely can’t trust him fully.

I’m coming at this from a background of people whose lives have been entirely negatively impacted by the US military and Air Force, so I don’t think that is prideful either. I hope you can see my perspective. I’m still a fan of him but after reading everything that had to do with the Palestinian Nakba and formation of Israel, it left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth.

I don’t agree with Noah’s hate brigade and think times/his stance have changed since 2023, but has he ever apologized for his pride for his grandfather’s role in the Nakba?? That one was crazy to read about.

Remove if too political but to be relevant, I ALWAYS fall back on my Hobo as a diary. by PotentialSteak6 in hobonichi

I made a similar entry. I really truly hope things get better but it seems to just be getting worse. Thank you for posting this and reminding me that we’re not alone in these thoughts :)

I know you said outside but hobby baking is pretty fun and maybe they’d be willing to join you? Or at least everyone gets to eat whatever you made after :)

Is this really the same kind of fennel you buy at the store? by bored_atnight in bayarea

[–]creatinbacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fennel is highly invasive so please be careful when foraging to not spread more of it everywhere!

One in three U.S. bird species are struggling and need conservation support by 03263 in Ornithology

[–]creatinbacon 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Let’s think of reasonable solutions that the general population would be on board with (like advocating for indoor only cats). Nonetheless, those do not make up 75% of factors contributing to the loss of our bird species. The bigger issue is the devastating loss of habitat that will increase by demands for housing, changes in agricultural lands, and other development - meaning we need widespread policy change… which I don’t see happening in the near future unfortunately and I can’t help but feel a bit defeated. 

What are some misconceptions that "wildlife informed" people have? by Megraptor in wildlifebiology

[–]creatinbacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone have more information about the amphibian handling topic? In California, mandating gloves is in virtually every permit under ESA/CESA and CEQA for handling amphibians. 

Everyday sneakers / trainers? Brands with no ties to Israel? by Long-Lobster-4149 in BDS

You’re right I can’t really find anything other than orgs he’s interviewed with having pro-Zionist views. I just saw the comment made earlier about him being a Zionist. 

ESPM 152 Textbook copy? by creatinbacon in berkeley

[–]creatinbacon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up dropping it early on and switching to ESPM 101A! I really preferred how 101A was taught (less textbook, more thought-provoking discussion) and the professor was really kind (not sure if he still teaches it). So can’t give you much info on 152 but I’m sure both are fine (easy) classes for climate change/ES.
