sorry for being so pushy but if my grandpa has to go to the hospital and we can’t drive him there we get a $375 charge for the ambulance and I won’t get my paycheck for this month
even if all you can give is one ko-fi ($3) that’s okay! I’m also open to take sketch commissions
Okay… is this some dumb new feature, @staff? I commented on someone’s post. Not reblogged, just commented and now I’m getting a notification for Every. Single. Person. who has commented after me. I don’t want or need this.
It’s called “conversational notifications” and you can turn it off under your notification settings.
yet another obnoxious change that tumblr introduced with no warning, apparently.
The court battles and the wins and losses and setbacks and highlights are confusing and difficult to follow. But, for now, it’s an “up” moment.
Faced with a new state law that effectively criminalized peaceful protests of pipelines, activists have put their bodies and freedom on the line to oppose the Bayou Bridge project in Louisiana. L’eau Est La Vie Camp / Facebook
Excerpt:
In a “major victory” for local landowners and pipeline activists who are fighting to block the Bayou Bridge Pipeline in Louisiana, the company behind the project agreed to halt construction on a patch of private property just ahead of a court hearing that was scheduled for Monday morning.
The path of the 163-mile pipeline runs through Atchafalaya Basin, the nation’s largest wetland and swamp. Local landowners and activists have raised alarm about the threat the pipeline poses to regional water resources, wildlife, and communities.
Peter Aaslestad, one of several co-owners of undeveloped marshland, filed an injunction in July alleging that the Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners (ETP) was clearing trees and trenching on his property without permission. ETP—which is also behind the hotly contested Dakota Access Pipeline—claims it has the right to the use property through expropriation, a process used to take private land for public benefit.
Monday’s agreement “essentially gives us everything we would have asked for with [the injunction] request and argued for in our hearing,” Misha Mitchell, a lawyer for Aaslestad and Atchafalaya Basinkeeper, explained in a Facebook video. “The company has voluntarily agreed to cease entering onto the property and to stop all construction activities on the property.”
A court hearing for the expropriation battle is scheduled for Nov. 27, meaning the company will not meet its initial deadline of completing construction by October.
“This represents a significant victory for the conservation of the Atchafalaya Basin and for the rights of private landowners who lawfully resist their property being seized for private gain,” Aaslestad said in a statement.
A collective of activists fighting against the pipeline—who have created the L’eau Est La Vie (Water Is Life) floating resistance camp—celebrated the agreement as validation of their ongoing efforts to kill the project.
Unusual discoveries: We now have what look like fruit flies hanging out in here…around the bathroom sink? 🤔 And nowhere else that I have seen so far.
I cannot imagine what might be attracting them in there. I even looked around to make sure the cats hadn’t managed to knock anything foodlike behind the sink or something, because you never know with them. Nothing unusual that I could see in there, besides the gnats. They don’t seem to be hanging around anything specific, either, like the drain. Just the general area around the sink.
Guess I’d better try putting together a trap, and hope they are indeed fruit flies willing to take the bait.
