I just wished that you would have called.

Because I would have said it all.

Scientists invented fabric that makes electricity from motion and sunlight. To create the fabric, researchers at Georgia Tech wove together solar cell fibers with materials that generate power from movement. It could be used in “tents, curtains, or wearable garments,” meaning we’d virtually never be without power. Source

Y'all are fucking idiots. Clean energy will NEVER be enough to replace the energy we have now. We’d have to tear down DOZENS of forests just to fit enough windmills and solar panels to get even a QUARTER (probably less, tbh) of the energy we can produce now.

[deniedmysign]

Yeah, sure, when they’ve already calculated that a few square miles of panels in the empty ass Arizona desert could power the whole nation. But ok, fracking and the diminishing petroleum supply is worlds better.

[inushiek]

Nevermind that windmills are often most efficient off the coast. There they take up no land, impact no trees, don’t pollute the water, and are conveniently located where winds are often strongest anyway.

And solar panels can literally be built into roofs of buildings and in empty areas like deserts. The sun strikes the Earth with the same amount of energy in an hour that our civilization uses in a year.

But yeah, it would be impossible for us to ever have enough energy from clean sources.

Durr hurr technology is bad and I would rather light shit on fire than have clean energy

[mllemusketeer]

I can also testify to the Arizona desert being empty ass. And the California desert. And the Nevada desert. 

[greaseonmymouth]

also…no forests were cleared to make space for Denmark’s windmills and yet they regularly produce so much power that it covers almost all of the country’s power needs. Oh, and then there’s the times when the windmills generate 140% of Denmark’s power needs. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/jul/10/denmark-wind-windfarm-power-exceed-electricity-demand

Friendly reminder that oil pipelines are a scam.

[blackwoolncrown]

The fact that anyone can believe a limited amount of dinosaur oil is more plentiful and efficient than moving air or fucking sunlight is proof that entire populations can be completely brainwashed.

[mckitterick]

And don’t forget wave and geothermal power.

The best place to install solar? Parking lots! Here’s the Community Mercantile in LFK:

Not only can it supply almost all the power needed for stores that build these, it also reduces ambient heating from the roasting pavement and keeps cars covered from the elements.

Everyone wins!

[solarpunkcast]

The ways we can produce sustainable, renewable energy grow by the year. There is zero reason to keep maintaining oil and natural gas industries!

The only reason we still use fossil fuels is that rich people are selfish.

so I’m on a new social media diet.

instead of facebook, twitter, and Instagram

I’m limiting myself to only tumblr and reddit.

[plausiblyren]

I always love seeing this comic because it interprets Tumblr as a gigantic theater ruled by absolute chaos where sometimes somebody just stands up on their chair and shouts and we all pay attention

i threw these away.

[eastcoastpoppunkarchive]

what does it mean.

it makes me mad that i still dream.

i was always told to push myself

and now i do nothing but push myself away.

what does it mean.

[eastcoastpoppunkarchive]

i sit with my thoughts and everything comes too suddenly.

not quickly.

just all at once and i’m into the weeds again.

i’m drowning in my own sick.

my own secretion of dread and fear.

if i were to cut it at the its root

i’d be cutting myself

and there’s nothing i want more to feel.

to have something to name and say

“i am sad because i don’t know my own worth”

“i’m frustrated; i need a compass to move me forward”

“i am scared of myself” doesn’t hold shape and falls into the void.

how do i become the better me?

how do i lift every bone and move forward? move past?

move with momentum that will soar me into the sun

like the fool i was told that i am and down i go.

falling.

falling.

tethering me back down.

into the ground.

dirty. laborsome.

this isn’t fun for me either.

back when i was a child i would wear this badge of broken and bruised

damnaged.

why?

where’s the honor of being broken?

ownership seems fun and a challenge to overcome.

my victory will come from after feeling.

feeling like i could cry.

feeling like i could say “i’m not ok and i want everything to end.”

feeling like i could see past the month again.

right now i see nothing.

right now i can’t escape my head.

i just sit.

not a champion.

just standard.

the standard dry cry that only exists inside.

the standard temptation to slip and go away again.

the standard hope that the knot will magically disappear.

it’s just my everyday.

my standard.
