i keep seeing misinformation about this, so: queerplatonic relationships do not have a set definition. the name comes from the idea that it's "queering" the platonic relationship, tailoring it to the individual relationships' own desires. it isn't necessarily romance lite, but it also isn't necessarily whatever definition you want to impose on it. the point of queering the platonic relationship is to break away from strict allonormative views on friendship, romance, and sex, not to make a new categorical box to fit in.

the answer to "what is a qpr?" is "whatever you want it to be." sometimes that is romance lite. sometimes it's a deeply committed friendship. sometimes it's friends who have a sexual relationship. sometimes it's based on an entirely different mode of attraction. sometimes it's fluid and impossible to put into words. it's whatever you want it to be. it's queer.

The Pax Silica initaitive is a joint plan involving the participants such as the UK, US, Israel, the EU to secure rare earth minerals for the silicon supply chain. This plan will involve opening up huge swaths of the island of Luzon to mining and special economic zones, displacing farming communities and threatening the food and water security of thousands.

Primer on the initiative from Philippine social movements:

To be clear, this is NOT a data center, this is rare earth metal extraction and manufacturing, particularly silicon. I'd actually argue that's worse because a single data center can cause a lot of harm but it can be shut down. Meanwhile, rare earth extraction could cause lasting damage including pollution of water, air and land, and habitat destruction.

The original signatories were Australia, Israel, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, the UK and of course the United States. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pax_Silica

Currently the Wikipedia has a controversies page, though if that gets taken out it should still be in the edit history.

I just-

Was it ever mentioned in the movie, that after the Hail Mary launch, Stratt essentially became a wanted criminal???

Because I'm listening to the book, and that's, like, a fucking huge chunk of her character I don't remember being in the movie

Stratt was excellent in the movie, don't get me wrong, but I feel like it would've added a LOT if they'd added somewhere in-between "Oh yeah btw she's doing this knowing she'll become a criminal and a fugitive the moment Hail Mary's off the ground and she's doing it anyway, basically dooming herself for the world"

[pien-art]

I really loved the part in the movie where Grace asks Stratt what she's gonna do for the next 20 years, and she scoffs/laughs. And as she laughs at the question, the explosion happens.

Having read the book first, in that scene I'd expected her to mention the probably going to prison thing, but her laugh while everything literally blows up is sooo good. Really liked that!!

Like, oh what will you be doing the next 20 years? Explosion!!! bad bad bad bad bad. And then she runs straight to it :)

I think it's important to remember that GLP-1s are quite literally medicine. There are medical reasons to use them. They have amazing medical benefits for many millions of people across the world. Using the new near-miracle diabetes drug that gave my father a new lease on life for trying to look anorexic isn't good, yeah, but it ain't the chemical's fault: It's two industries and a force of societal oppression doing that. Quit applying moral values to a life-improving chemical just because some people with too much money are misusing it. Keep your head in the game.
