To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...

One of America’s Last Chestnut Groves Is About to Be Destroyed for a Data Center

A rare 200-tree American chestnut grove in West Virginia may be cleared for data-center development, but the project denies the site is on its land.

Obfuscated and underconsidered by non-natives is historically documented mass deforestation before/during initial blight, that the Appalachian chestnut trees were near large as the Redwoods even into early photography but became Lumber. This same thing is really how it started, blight secondary.

also covered in Cherokee Linguistics and American Placenames. Appalachian Mountain Rainforest used to be White Place, Realm Of Mist/Smoke, the white blossoms of chestnuts merged with mists and clouds. when deforestation began, it was renamed The Blue Place, Bluesmoke, Blue of the sky now seen.

Adding thoughts Decolonization puts folks off I think because they don't understand it. Put simply it's retraining your mind to not be so Euro-centric. We were taught that way on purpose! Stop believing the only civilized ppl in past were Europeans.

They make Africa smaller on the maps on purpose! They portray indigenous cultures as primitive. It is all in service to white supremacy.

Because this annoys the crap out of me: Fashion is a language and ongoing societal conversation. You literally cannot be perceived by society without participating. Even when you think you're saying nothing, you're screaming things to people who know how to hear. Only a complete hermit can opt out.

"I'm just not interested in fashion," Okay, that matters as much as whether I'm interested in walking. The fact is that I do it and it impacts my life and whether I make it an interest of mine or not, I will suffer the consequences of how I perform it. Period. I can't act shocked about that later.

Yes but no. This is a common refrain from men that is used explicitly to mean "I do not want to think about what I wear or why I wear it. I want to put on an outfit and simply have it be the right outfit." And this is as problematic as saying "I want to open my mouth and have the right words exit."
