  1. Wanton acts of environmental destruction
    The large-scale incinerating of oil wells

    "Tehran’s toxic cloud: satellite images show oily fires burned for days. Residents reported headaches, eye and skin irritation and breathing difficulties as Israeli bombings blanketed Tehran with pollutants. Satellite images of Tehran show toxic fires caused by Israeli bombings on oil depots were still burning days after the strikes, which have caused fears of serious health complications for millions of residents in the Iranian capital." >>

    In this area of NSW, on the 'holiday' Mid North Coast we are all to familiar with black rain, soot and toxic air pollution caused by the NSW government's Forestry Corporation. After logging and spraying with pesticides everything is incinerated and send into the atmosphere and lungs. >>

    * " “Rome Plows,” massive bulldozers with an armor-fortified cutting blade, could clear 1,000 acres a day. Enormous concussive bombs, known as “daisy cutters”, flattened forests and set off shock waves killing everything within a 3,000-foot (900-meter) radius, down to earthworms in the soil. " >>

    "You can kill a person with post-harvest burning just as well as with an axe”.
    (Bertolt Brech, slightly altered)

    "Structural violence
    is a form of violence wherein some social structure or social institution may harm people by preventing them from meeting their basic needs or rights."
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structur

    When residents express their concerns about the prolonged toxic pollution to the relevant state institutions, the response is along the lines of 'close up your house, stay indoors or move away and shut up.'

  12. The #EPA is Backing Off on Air #Pollution Prevention
    In a new legal brief filed with a federal appeals court in Washington, agency told judges it had made a legal “error” and urged them to wipe the 2024 #soot standard off the books and revert to the older 12-microgram limit from 2020. If court grants request and vacates rule, it is treated as though the stronger standard never existed. EPA’s own analysis projected that tighter soot limits would have substantial benefits.

  13. Mountain #glaciers are #melting very fast- but why?

    A tiny pollutant called black carbon (or #soot) darkens snow, making it melt faster.

    In this blog post, the EGU Cryosphere Division explores how this microscopic substance is reshaping entire mountain landscapes.

  14. This affirmation may be wrong:
    »There may not be a trace of those billions of years left by the time we are done.«

    Many tons of #soot will imprint the consequences of man's doing on earth's surface. And the subsurface, altering much of what's been living there, under mounting and finally cosmic pressure, forming new rocks around a sooner or later submerged ocean. New oil, maybe.

    And the circle of death has come around.
    All because of use instead of life.

  15. OK there's your Grumpy Zelda Morning Tweets for the day, have some kitties

    Exclusive kitty picture album for all my Patreon supporters coming up very soon btw patreon.com/thezeldazone

  16. When I'm in the restroom Shine likes to guard from outside the door, while Soot likes to go behind the shower curtain and either scream at me to attack the curtain

  17. Soot was growling in her sleep ; ;

    I've never heard a cat do that. Her growl is also a little pathetic, it's like a high pitched Marge Simpson grunt. Like "mrrr~rrrR"

  19. Oh happy #internationalcatday

    This is Soot and her favorite toy, I bought 4 more since it's already beat up. She yells if she loses it under furniture, brings it with her to your bed when she sleeps, and throws/drops it on me to tell me to throw it.

    very ominous, very threatening

  21. Something about how my camera handles light balance makes Soot look like a different cat in low/high lighting
