Hmm, I feel like I gotta clear up some misconceptions.

1. The Hexbear account is not my alt, it’s my main
2. Hexbear unfortunately does not allow me to define the appropriate number of pronoun forms, I’m limited to 2 pairs of 2
3. I did not import from Hexbear and my display name is not an “accident”
4. User tags only notify in comments until 1.0.0 (maybe not a misconception since I’m not sure if that’s even a proper tag as-is, and maybe you weren’t actually intending for me to see the post)

Congrats on figuring it out, I just vagueposted complained in my profile without bothering to try to fix things myself until a cool cat gave me a hand.

That is, in fact, the article I posted, yes.

Wildfires are good for the economy, actually

Damage to property and local infrastructure may lead to temporary business disruptions due to power outages, road closures, and direct damages to buildings and other business infrastructure, which can affect business sales, employment, and wages. But construction for rebuilding generally provides a local economic boost. Effects on household income are ambiguous, too: insurance payouts, disaster aid, and other government assistance often offset negative shocks. Over the long run, many outcomes are possible, including “creative destruction” or “build back better” scenarios in which economic growth is higher than it would have been.

At the county level, wildfires cause a small but statistically significant 0.4 percent boost in the average employment growth rate.

Capitalism wants us to start more wildfires.

Soooo… it still sounds to me like you’re saying that breath from people who burn more fossil fuels has an outsized impact?

I feel like this just proves my point around needing to prioritize who stops.

Some people, by continuing to breath, have an outsized effect compared to others.

Clearly the issue here is just prioritizing who stops breathing.

Very fast shutter speed, to start with, and I’d guess dialing in the expected focus ahead of time while watching the leaf get cut so that when it takes off you can capture it, maybe combined with a high resolution wider shot that you crop and/or multiple photos taken rapidly.

Carcinisation is difficult when you’re not a crustacean.

Oof, ow, ouch

A lot of the conservation stuff I post isn’t exactly “positive”. This one is definitely more on the positive end, but I’m certainly not trying to downplay the reality that this is the exception and not the norm.

New contaminants are appearing as well. PFAS, the so-called “forever chemicals,” are showing up in Great Lakes fish

Shoreline development eats away at denning sites. Climate change threatens to shift prey distribution and alter seasonal ice cover

The tree itself is pretty cool alone, but the bird nests that can be home to hundreds of birds seal the deal.

Pic?
