If you're a blank blog, under 18, "a sales blog for weed", or a majority of your posts link to a third party website (people's personal blogs or OF not included in this) expect to get a block. The bot blogs get annoying at times.
Also,no age posted, if you don't post/like adult content you may get a pass. No age and post/like adult content it's a block.
“Musk talks about Mars as a lifeboat for humanity, which is among the very stupidest things that someone could say,” says Adam Becker, an astrophysicist and author of the book More Everything Forever, which outlines the messianic, sci-fi fantasies of the tech oligarchs. “There are so many reasons why it’s such a bad idea, and this is not about, ‘Oh, we’ll never have the technology to live on Mars.’ That’s not what I’m saying. What I’m saying is that Earth is always going to be a better option no matter what happens to Earth. Like, we could get hit with an asteroid the size of the one that killed off the dinosaurs, and Earth would still be more habitable. We could explode every single nuclear weapon, and Earth would still be more habitable. We could have the worst-case scenario for climate change, and Earth would still be more habitable. Any cursory examination of any of the facts about Mars makes it very clear.”
What You’ve Suspected Is True: Billionaires Are Not Like Us
I really like sci-fi stories where people have to go off and terraform a planet, or figure out how to rebuild civilization after some disaster, or ideally both. "The last ark-ship leaving Earth right before it becomes uninhabitable" sort of deal. But lately I've been coming around to this same idea, that it will always be more practical to try to save Earth than to try to start over elsewhere.
I was reading one story where the apocalypse was impossibly-rising oceans. Like, water is appearing from *waves hand* the Earth's crust or something, and literally all dry surface land on Earth is going to become underwater in X years. Part of the story was about a giant research project to invent FTL to send a few hundred humans to a nearby star which might have a habitable planet. You know what they were hoping to find? A planet with liquid water. Their plan was to descend from their starship and restart civilization using just the tools they brought with them, on a world with no life and no breathable air and the wrong gravity and the wrong temperate and the wrong sunlight and the wrong day-night cycle, just because it had liquid water. You know where else has liquid water? The flooded Earth you just abandoned. Instead of researching starship technology, you could have spent that time loading up all the same civilization-restarter tools into boats.
And this is really true of any futuristic apocalypse scenario. If you can terraform Mars to have a thick oxygen atmosphere, why not just do that to Earth? Even if you smash an ice comet into Earth and destroy basically everything, Earth will still be more habitable than Mars! It'll still have roughly the right atmospheric pressure, and magnetic field, and heat balance, and it'll still have whatever life the comet didn't kill... Same with a starshade to cool Venus. Same with excavating asteroids into city-stations. Same with abandoning Sol System entirely and heading to another star. If an ark-ship arrived in a new star system and found Earth-but-choked-by-climate-change, the crew would be ecstatic. They would never have thought to get that lucky. So why bother with the trip? Just stay and fix the damn Earth.
no one is coming to save yo- wrong!! everyone who has ever shown you love and/or care is saving you a little bit.
They can cheer you on and provide you snacks, but you are the only one who can climb out of the hole and up the mountain of humanity.

Langston Hughes: Beaumont to Detroit (1943)
Looky here, America What you done done – Let things drift Until the riots come
Now your policemen Let the mobs run free. I reckon you don’t care Nothing about me.
You tell me that hitler Is a mighty bad man. I guess he took lessons From the ku klux klan.
You tell me mussolini’s Got an evil heart. Well, it mus-a been in Beaumont That he had his start –
Cause everything that hitler And mussolini do Negroes get the same Treatment from you
You jim crowed me Before hitler rose to power – And you’re still jim crowing me Right now, this very hour.
Yet you say we’re fightin For democracy. Then why don’t democracy Include me?
I ask you this question Cause I want to know How long I got to fight BOTH HITLER – AND JIM CROW.

Thought I’d post something old (if I’m still relevant)
This clever rope-cuff allows her to grasp the rope when she struggles so it doesn’t injure her wrists.
this is actually quite wonderful and I don’t really wish to delve far into the art of this but someone took the time to come up with this and it’s nice
One of the very first techniques I learned.
*sigh* this place used to be a fountain of knowledge.
