How is it that I’ve tried so long to get out of this place and now that I have the chance I’m given a reason to stay.

This week, PBS and ITVS - Independent Television Service are co-presenting a special web series, The Lexicon of Sustainability. 

These online videos profile individuals who are helping to influence farming practices and food production — by defining and promoting the language of sustainability — in an effort to educate consumers about the American food system. Read a Q & A with Douglas Gayeton, one of the co-producers of this multimedia project, in today’s post from KQED’s Bay Area Bites.

Why “douchebag” is an awesome insult:

beatingthebinary:

niaili:

When you call someone a douchebag, what you’re literally saying to them is,

“You think you’re so great, but your existence is actually totally unnecessary and your main function is probably toxic. Also you shouldn’t be allowed near anyone’s genitalia.”

YES THIS A THOUSAND TIMES - douchebag is my favorite insult for this reason but I have never heard anyone articulate its meaning so perfectly before.

The press still thinks [global warming] is controversial. So they find the 1% of the scientists and put them up as if they’re 50% of the research results. You in the public would have no idea that this is basically a done deal and that we’re on to other problems, because the journalists are trying to give it a 50/50 story. It’s not a 50/50 story. It’s not. Period.
