acheron based off the anniversary stream art... i miss her so bad

[reaiiygoodusername]

I’m gonna kill (remembers suicide jokes are bad for my mental health) someone else (remembers murder is bad) on accident (realizes it’s not an accident if I say I’m gonna do it) and I know because I’m from the future (remembers lying is bad) no I’m not (feels guilty) I’m so so sorry (remembers actions speak louder than words) (does a backflip)

Every time I see bullshit about women never EVER being able to beat men in any sport, I think about how in martial arts classes I, a cis woman, 5' 8" and 145 pounds, regularly beat the tar out of 6' 2" 230 pound cis dude weightlifters. One guy ragequit class. He came in cocky as hell and talking the standard bs line about how a woman simply never could beat a man in a fight because they're physically weaker and our instructor was like. Okay. Put the pads on you're sparring her. Yes, her, the one 4" shorter and 100 pounds lighter than you.

It wasn't close I beat the pants off that man, and others like him. I did it more than once. Some guys got humble and stayed. One guy got angry and stormed out.

And I think about that every fuck damn time I hear that bullshit, which seems to be all the fuck over the place these days. Oh, women are just fragile little soft delicate flower creatures who can't do ANYTHING and could NEVER compete with big strong manly muscular strong MEN.

I think about driving that dude into the mats and seeing the brutal reality of this big dude's misogany meet the realization that a woman was beating his ass literally that second, that none of his strength could stop the fact that I'd just hip thrown him facefirst into the mats and that had I actually connected with the axe kick to his neck I would have crushed a bunch of important shit and he could not stop me, and his whole psyche collapsing like a dying star in that moment.

Anyway, don't ever fall for it, ladies, and there's absolutely no goddamn reason to get your knickers in a twist about trans people in sports.

[guldaastan]

it's the trans day of visibility and indian trans people will be losing their rights because of the new trans act that was signed by the president today. this bill takes away trans people's right of self identification and will also criminalise their support networks. this is a dark day for human rights.

this past year ever since i caught up with hq again after a long 4 year break (bc life) i’ve been thinking about why i love haikyuu so much and how to even articulate it, why it makes me the way that i am (and why i even felt the need to make this blog)

haikyuu is just so utterly sincere. in the writing, the characterization, everything. there’s so much depth to all the characters that’s clearly been thought out and written with care. the way the highs and lows of every character’s journey are so emotionally resonant because furudate is a master at getting you to care about them. their failures, their lessons learned, the patience that’s exercised throughout the series of letting a character stumble and grow into themselves. the nature of human bonds and relationships are so expertly explored in hq, a manga that exists in a genre (shounen, sports manga) whose stories are often molded around these themes.

but simply, haikyuu just makes me feel good and happy. it doesn’t try to take itself too seriously or rely on any fantastical elements or cheap shock factor, but the time furudate takes to delve into so many characters’ psyches and journeys makes their accomplishments – simple as they may be on the surface, whether it be a simple receive or block – as heart-pounding and epic as in any other shounen series.

to me haikyuu is an expertly crafted story about individual growth, the bonds made with others that spur this growth, the simple earnestness of a bunch of kids experiencing life together connected by a common passion and how they mature into young adulthood through these experiences. about what it means to wrench something meaningful into existence with your own hands and a desire for even one second to be a part of something larger than yourself. a human story about young human beings exploring what motivation means to them personally and how those around you can shape it into something different, into something more or maybe something else entirely. the story is just so genuine and heartfelt. furudate is unapologetically sincere in their love and it shows, on each and every page.

like i honestly don’t know how else to explain this. no other series has affected me on this level before. how can a manga about volleyball make me feel so deeply and care so much

its so fucking funny that nuclear waste is such a contentious topic. like yeah those damn nuclear advocates need to figure out somewhere reasonable to put that nuclear waste. for now we will  be sticking with coal power because it puts its waste products safe and sound In Our Lungs, where they cannot hurt anybody,

[mc-cookies]

coal byproducts also give people cancer en masse is the thing though. coal smoke is a carcinogen that contributes to lung cancer, and ash and other waste products can also contain significant amounts of uranium and thorium, so coal as a power source can totally expose people to ionizing radiation as well.

[mangonetics]

The thing is that for every hazard of nuclear waste, pretty much the worst case scenario is that it might do something that coal power is already doing. You could aerosolize nuclear waste and just spray it out of a chimney and it would have less environmental and health impacts than coal because you’d only be spraying like a gram of it for every billion tons of coal smoke for the same amount of power.

[afriendofblahaj]

Im already pretty vocal about my advocation and belief in nuclear power and I have been for years, but I saw something a few weeks ago that just

It so perfectly sums up everything that’s wrong, but also it’s incredibly horrifying

So, basically, someone not very involved in nuclear science but still discussing it posed the question “could we retrofit coal power plants to be nuclear power plants?”. And on the face, this is a fairly good idea actually. Coal and nuclear power both generate electricity the same way (heated water turns to steam which turns a turbine) so you would only need to do some modifications, making new nuclear reactors much cheaper, and killing coal plants.

Well, someone actually involved in the nuclear industry (I think they were a researcher but I might be misremmebering) responded to the question with (paraphrased from memory)

“that’s something many of us have proposed in the past, and unfortunately we can’t do that, because coal plants currently have much higher radiation levels than the EPA allowed a nuclear plant to be operated at. And cleaning up the site would cost more than just building a new plant in an uncontaminated site.”

It’s fucking wild

Not only is coal so much more dangerous in so many other ways, but the very thing people worry about with nuclear power is higher because coal isn’t regulated at all.
