One last talent show to save the rec center

Ok everybody here's the deal.

My science education nonprofit, Skype a Scientist (you might know her, creator of the squid facts hotline and matcher of classrooms + scientists) has secured absolutely no grants to support general operations for 2025. But! We're selling advent calendars to fund our program! They absolutely rule. They can save our nonprofit asses. If we sell 5000, which I realize, is so many, we can fund our program for 2025. Then I can offer a bunch of programming for free. Running a nonprofit is a weird job.

Every day, counting down to frankly whatever you want (it's usually Christmas, but man, maybe you want to count down to Halloween, that's fine by me) scratch off the sparkly sparkly iridescence and reveal a fact about frogs! We have 24 top-notch frog facts here.

You should get one for every kid in your life, then get one for all the adults who still let themselves access joy in critters.

Some people don’t want to hear this but sometimes accessibility is not sustainable or eco-friendly. Disabled people sometimes need straws, or pre-made meals in plastic containers, or single-use items. Just because you can work with your foods in their least processed and packaged form doesn’t mean everyone else can.

[headspace-hotel]

I mean, if we're talking about a more...academic? rigorous? accurate? definition of sustainability, something has to meet human needs to be sustainable. A "sustainable" system that disabled people can't use isn't sustainable. Not distracting from your point just saying that "sustainability" is supposed to actually include the needs of people.

Also. In my opinion it's a good thing we invented plastic. Plastic is good at a lot of things. There are some applications where there really Isn't a more sustainable alternative. A lot of medical equipment needs to be single-use plastic and there's not really a way around it.

When we're talking material properties of a substance, plastic does stuff that other materials can't. It's not brittle. It can be flexible. It can be lightweight. It doesn't expand and contract a bunch with temperature. It can allow light through. And it doesn't corrode or biodegrade, which is bad but it's also good because it doesn't change or become contaminated while you're using it.

[naamahdarling]

The best way I ever saw anybody put this was to say that we should be treating plastic like a precious substance in terms of how thoughtfully we use it, with the focus being on using it for things exactly like this, accommodations for people who really need it. I do see how that could be a little tricky in that by treating something as a precious substance but you run the risk of raising the price and making it inaccessible to the people who most need it, and also the inherent risk that you will wind up gatekeeping accommodations from people who need them and should be able to obtain them easily, but as for the concept of treating plastic as something to be used thoughtfully and with care, I really liked that as a starting point for slightly different way of thinking about it as a necessary material.

trees are very 🥺 because sometimes i’ll stand under the shade of a tree and look up at it and it’ll sway its branches about in the wind and i’m like oh my God i’m alive and YOU’RE alive. we are alive together and made up of the same starry stuff and standing right next to each other in this moment on this earth. do u feel it when i reach out and press my hand to your trunk? can you hear me? i think you’re so neat. and then the sunlight filters through its leaves just so and that lovely green color leaves me dazzled. it’s just very nice to be an alive thing next to a different sort of alive thing
