    Let’s still not ban it though. I mean, it IS banned now, but also not. And the fact that massive insect populations started wholesale disappearing and never coming back - something even poison like DDT couldn’t pull off- after introduction of glyphosate is surely wholly irrelevant in this discourse anyway.

        I’m pretty sure I’m literally among the last few people alive who have seen live fireflies in our own country. That was some 40 years ago and I still miss them.

            Growing up (90s), in the middle of a dense suburban/semi-urban area, my mom would melt holes into the top of peanut butter jars with an awl, and we’d put some grass and shit in them and fill them with dozens of fireflies to make fairy lanterns. She would let them out when we fell asleep and said the fairies only stay until dawn, which I was never up for.

            I saw a firefly the other day and was absolutely thrilled. It’s been so so long since I’ve seen them. Then again it was during the day so it might have been something else…

          I actually saw firefly last summer and the year before flying around my neighborhood. I will say though, that I saw way less of the last year than the year before. It’s made me wonder if I’ll even see them at all this summer.

      Yes. Glyphosate was reauthorised for further ten years in the EU :(

      It’s also super safe but not really and will at the same time give you cancer and not. Fucking lobbies.

    This is if course bad and all that but there is the silver lining that you can now get rid of those stubborn dandelions just by having a wank in the garden.
