Mr. Trash Wheel is gobbling up millions of pounds of trash

Trash interceptors are becoming more common in large cities, helping to stop garbage as it floats down waterways. Mr. Trash Wheel is the pride of Baltimore, helping to make a cleaner, more beautiful city waterfront.

“ Since its installation Mr. Trash Wheel has intercepted over 3 million pounds of trash, making the harbor not only cleaner and more beautiful, but also a nicer home for local wildlife as well as waterfront businesses. Four different wheels now sit in Baltimore’s rivers, and soon more will be helping clean other cities across the globe. “

…

“If you go to MrTrashWheel.com you can actually download a spreadsheet of every dumpster we’ve pulled out of the harbor over the past seven years, with an estimate of different types of trash that was in that dumpster,” Lindquist said. “We know that we’ve pulled out over a million styrofoam containers from the harbor, and that’s the sort of information, data and photos that we share with our elected officials to let them know just how big of a problem this is.”

…

“Mr. Trash Wheel has a few relatives in Baltimore, including Professor Trash Wheel, the first female Trash Wheel; Captain Trash Wheel, who’s nonbinary; and Gwynnda The Good Wheel of the West, who was recently the star of a ribbon cutting ceremony to mark her installation. They all have their own likes and dislikes on their public profiles online.

They’re also hungry, with a reputation for being able to gobble up larger pieces of trash, including a guitar, a full-size beer keg and on one occasion a ball python who escaped from its owner and made a home for itself on the warm battery casing of one of the Trash Wheels. Because the Trash Wheels don’t harm animals, they’ve become a kind of refuge for creatures seeking a safe place to nest. A mother duck once laid its eggs under the conveyor belt, and fish enjoy the oxygenated water that’s created as the wheel turns in the river during the summer.”

…

“ If you’re a city leader or official, you can adopt your own Trash Wheel at MrTrashWheel.com. “

ALRIGHT EVERYBODY TIME TO CONTACT YOUR LOCAL OFFICIALS

When I find myself in times of trouble/ Mother Mary comes to me/ Speaking words of wisdom/ what the hell are you doing. are you out of your fucking mind

[prokopetz]

Yes, yes, “blood for the blood god” and all, but when you think about it, why would the blood god want blood?

I mean, they’re the blood god.

Presumably they already have blood.

You’re giving them the one thing that by definition they already have in great supply.

[changeitagain]

I don’t think you end up the blood god by saying “yeah, that seems like a reasonable amount of blood.”

she replied with sources

[trap-dracula]

But where are the sources tho? Cause that’s something I’d read the fuck out of a scholarly article about.

You know what’s interesting, designer Jessica Ray - the actress who played the white ranger in Power Rangers Wild Force - actually started an entire line of swimwear based around brain studies like this. She gave a presentation in 2013 on the history of bikinis, invented in 1946 in France by Louis Réard, a car mechanic who looked after his mother's lingerie boutique in Paris. He named them after Bikini Atoll, the place of atomic bomb testing that year because he thought the public’s reaction to the bikini would be like an atomic explosion (it was so scandalous at the time no french model would wear it and he had to hire a stripper to debut it). From her presentation:

Princeton University had conducted a study of how male brains react to seeing people in different amounts of clothing, and brains scans had revealed when men were shown pictures of scantily-clad women, the region of the brain associated with tools, such as screwdrivers and hammers, lit up. Some men showed zero brain activity in the medial prefrontal cortex, which is the part of the brain that lights up when one ponders another’s thoughts, feelings, and intentions [...] researchers found this shocking because they almost never see this part of the brain shut down in this way, and a Princeton professor said “It’s as if they were reacting to these women as if they are not fully human; it’s consistent with the idea that they are responding to these photographs as if they were responding to objects, not people”.

(her full presentation here, it’s a very interesting watch, she refuses to wear bikinis anymore)

She designs swimsuits now with Audrey Hepburn as her inspiration

i like how in the tiktok, she still is too worried/scared to call out men, so she says “really sexist men”, when this effect is found in all men in the studies, regardless of their conscious views of women. 

[kvotheunkvothe]

Unfortunately, both men and women are more likely to view men as a whole, and women by their parts. Which likely leads, in part, to the same phenomenon the tiktoker is talking about.
