I am re-reblogging just because that was so good

[wolvensnothere]

I think this one’s an Always Reblog, because the picture, the illustration, and the song title are just too damn perfect together.

see every time i see this status i get angry because i’ve played through literally every scenario in rct1 and there is no place where this is a thing. there is never more than one park per map. and in rct2 you can’t make that happen i the scenario editor either. it is not remotely within the game’s functionality to simulate two discrete parks and these games were coded in assembly for christ sake so it’s not like someone modded it in by adding the line “int const TOTAL_NUM_POSSIBLE_PARKS = 2;”. there is no conceivable way this post is anything close to true and even though i know how writing all this out reflects upon me as a person and even though i know exactly how meaningless and trifling of a takedown attempt this is on some random facebook screencap with hundreds of thousands of notes im going to post it anyway because i’m too petty to have any say in the matter

I’m really, really sorry to ask, but my family and I really need this.

   I’ve been fighting tooth and nail to not post this here because doing this terrifies me to the core.  It’s taken several friends to calm me down and convince me to ask for help here when I’ve been too scared to do so. Recall a while back I asked for emergency commissions because things got super bad for my family and I? It got better for a time, but now it’s pretty much back to being pretty bad. Bad as in if we can’t get something done soon(a little under two weeks soon), we’re pretty much homeless and we absolutely cannot let that happen. My dad has had a Gofundme up for almost a month now and while we have gotten some donations, 90% of that has went to bills, food, and medication for my mother.We’ve practically sold everything we absolutely could to get some form of money into the house and we’ve all been tirelessly looking into finding some form of income to hold us till we can do something else.Our landlord can only be patient and let us stay without paying for so long. It’s honestly a goddamn miracle it has not happened yet. He’s a good man and I don’t begrudge him at all. So please, if you can help that would be great! If you can’t, that’s fine. The fact you’re willing to read this makes me a little less stressed out.

Real life solarpunk.

[madgastronomer]

I just read the links, and omg this is even better.

So I looked at it and knew it was using the open courtyard and the pools and fountains to do a lot of the work of cooling the house, but it’s also got drip irrigation for all of those plants (which adds more moisture to the air and also helps cool it in addition to being an effective and efficient way of watering the plants), it’s got a roof garden and other eco-conscious stuff. It combines modern construction techniques with classic Arabic art and architecture.

And his home is a cultural center.

He holds lectures, concerts and salons in his home, with guests and speakers from around the world. He’s founded multiple institutions to preserve Islamic history and architecture. He’s an activist against the extremist factions he says are trying to hijack Islam.

His home is going to be part of an international institute offering degrees in Islamic history and science, as his legacy, housing a collection of over one hundred thousands of his photos, drawings and writings about Islam and the holy cities of Mecca and Medina.

This is serious real-life Islamic solarpunk for real.

Tumblr likes the idea of solarpunk, even if there’s not a real body of work about it yet. Well, we’re missing that people are already doing this for real, and have been for a long time.

I am not generally an architecture fan. It’s nice and all, but it doesn’t do a lot for me, especially modern American stuff. But I am totally bowled over by this and must now go look at everything he’s ever designed.
