‘People need to be riled up’: meteorologist names US heatwaves after oil and gas giants

Guy Walton has christened two previous heatwaves this summer Amoco and BP in attempt to name and shame fossil fuel firms

the Guardian

CHEERS TO GUY WALTON FOR “OUTING” THE FOSSIL FUEL COMPANIES

From the article:  

Walton has devised his own criteria for named heatwaves in the US, based on duration and extremity, on a one to five scale similar to hurricanes. Heatwave Chevron is classed as a four and is “historic”, Walton said. The meteorologist said he has a list of 20 oil and gas companies – including Exxon and Shell – for upcoming heatwaves and will turn to coal companies if he runs out of names.

OUTSTANDING MOVE

Y'all know what to do. Use Walton’s naming system. Make it catch on.

Lmfao as a religious trauma survivor and a product of Christian fundie indoctrination myself I am in full support of calling fandom wank “purity culture” and the use of the word “puriteen” as well actually.

It perfectly encompasses what purity culture was. It wasn’t just about “no sex before marriage”; it policed every fucking thing you did and forced you to walk on eggshells your entire life so your Magical Sky Daddy didn’t clutch His heavenly pearls at your naughty behaviours.

Holding hands with someone you weren’t married to? Gateway to sin. Making eyes at someone of the opposite sex? Gateway to sin. Thinking “impure” thoughts about someone else? Thoughtcrime Gateway to sin. Wearing the “wrong” type of clothes? Listening to the “wrong” kind of music? Having the “wrong” sort of values? Enjoying the “wrong” kind of media? All of it was seen as a stepping stone toward being a sinful godless heathen (and to some people it was essentially just as bad).

And it wasn’t enough to just avoid BadWrong Behaviours, either. In my ex-community you were expected to express your disapproval of it and be well versed in the theological how’s and whys. Does any of that sound familiar?

Purity culture at its core is so much more than “wear this purity ring and pinky promise to Jesus that you’ll never have sex until you’re married” and if you didn’t realise that while you were there you weren’t paying attention.
