Moss Voltaics

Sustainable cities. When I hear the word ‘sustainable’ I automatically think of renewable enery. Renewable energy in a city seems to be a perfect must for a sustainable city. A designer named Mitrofanova seems to have the same idea, she has developed a wall that lives. The wall generates electricity from moss. The project is her thesis for her graduate degree at Institute for Advanced Architecture of Colombia.

What is it?

Her system, “Moss Voltaics” combines living plants with architectural elements. This creates a clean energy system. This system seems to be an attractive usable device for one’s home, however it’s not Mitrofanova her goal. She has much bigger goals for the Moss Voltaics. She’s hoping that this concept might be possible for urban scale use. Mitrofanova used moss for her prototype, but says that other types of plants can probably be used as well. She used moss for her prototype because moss is something which is already found in an urban environment. Such as on rooftops and walls, or in sidewalk cracks on the street.

So how does it work? You might not say so, but her microbial fuel cells work pretty easily. It harnesses the energy which is generated during photosynthesis. Since it’s still a prototype, it’s not known (yet) how big the voltaics must be to create energy for a bigger scale. However it’s a nice idae for the beginning for a renewable city.

So if we imagine this will work in the future and produces enough energy for an urban scale, we might be able to look at a future city in this way: At this moment, producing energy creates radiation which comes into the Earth's atmosphere. This effects the environment. Creating energy from plants, which are already produced by earth, would be a perfect solution.

it’s an unique sustainable idea. Plants grow everywhere, if we are able to produce energy through the way plants produce ‘life’, it seems to be a perfect circle of life. It might sound a little ‘far off’, but it would be a way to live with the planet in a harmony way. Instead of damaging the planet, we would work together with it. Perfect teamwork!

Robot D.N.A

What is it?

By the term Robot D.N.A I mean to say human beings mixed with robots. Literally. Robot technology is nothing new. But researchers and doctors are taking a next level by mixing robot D.N.A and human D.N.A. A few examples:

The Economist, edition 2016, has written an article about a Spanish cancer survivor which had received the first 3D-printed titanium chest phrothestic. Does this mean that in a few years we could have people walking among us, that are completely 3D-printed?

The second example is the electronic memory cell. Researchers at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology have created the first electronic memory cell. And it’s not a memory card you put in your computer, it’s basically a card to put in your head for some extra memory. It is said to be ‘soon here’.

The third example is also from The Economist edition 2016. It points out the robotic caregivers in Japan, along with the robots that play for concierge at deluxe hotels. Robots are getting more developed each day, along with their appearance. The chance of eventually people having sex with robots is not something to be excluded. Could this result in a new type of D.N.A.? Because our D.N.A plus Robot D.N.A. = ?

Why is it interesting?

This is interesting because it shows how technology is developing, but more importantly, it shows the satisfaction we have of our own body. Are we really that unsatisfied with the body that we were given, that we need to implant a card in our brain for some extra memory? Or that we feel the need to walk next to people on the street that are completely 3D-printed? Do we even know the risks that come along with this? We could be creating a new species of humans mixed with robots, and I’m not so sure if that’s what we need.

Passing this good karma

I reblogged this 3 days ago and my skin got clear and I got a message from a guy who refers to me as queen yesterday. Good karma vibes all around.

how many men who say they’re in the friendzone are actually in the “I was just nice to him because I felt bad for him but now he’s getting all clingy and manipulative to the point that he is making me regret basic human kindness which I feel really guilty about but I just want to be free from this nightmare” zone

bravery is not an option for us. girls HAVE to be brave in order to work the night shift, to take the last bus home, to walk to a friend’s house alone. we do not have the luxury of choosing.

Homeless People Read Mean Tweets About Themselves To End Stereotypes

When celebrities read mean tweets about themselves, it’s funny. When homeless people do it, it’s heartbreaking.

In a powerful PSA by Canadian advocacy group Raising the Roof, people who are dealing with homelessness read actual tweets written about those living without stable shelter. See all of the emotional reactions here.

Watch the full video here.

I think this is horrible, there is no reason for this what so ever. There is a difference between trying to help people and then making them feel lower than they already do about themselves. So wrong. There are many other ways to make money for fundraisers than dragging people low and making them feel like garbage. I don’t agree with this at all.

You slide your arms around Kris’s waist from behind while he’s working on his first painting. He quirks a small smile and sets down his paint brush when he feels your warm breath against the sensitive skin of his nape. After trailing kisses up his neck, you capture his earlobe between your teeth to nibble on it teasingly. His entire ear falls off and plops onto the ground. Blood splatters onto the canvas. He is Wu Fan Gogh, and no one can stop him from making art.

A boy sprawled next to me on the bus, elbows out, knee pointing sharp into my thigh. He frowned at me when I uncrossed my legs, unfolded my hands and splayed out like boys are taught to: all big, loose limbs. I made sure to jab him in the side with my pretty little sharp purse. At first he opened his mouth like I expected him to, but instead of speaking up he sat there, quiet, and took it for the whole bus ride. Like a girl. Once, a boy said my anger was cute, and he laughed, and I remember thinking that I should sit there and take it, because it isn’t ladylike to cause a scene and girls aren’t supposed to raise their voices. But then he laughed again and all I saw was my pretty little sharp nails digging into his cheek before drawing back and making a horribly unladylike fist. (my teacher informed me later that there is no ladylike way of making a fist.) When we were both in the principal’s office twenty minutes later him with a bloody mouth and cheek, me with skinned knuckles, I tried to explain in words that I didn’t have yet that I was tired of having my emotions not taken seriously just because I’m a girl. Girls are taught: be small, so boys can be big. Don’t take up any more space than absolutely necessary. Be small and smooth with soft edges and hold in the howling when they touch you and it hurts: the sandpaper scrape of their body hair that we would be shamed for having, the greedy hands that press too hard and too often take without asking permission. Girls are taught: be quiet and unimposing and oh so small when they heckle you with their big voices from the window of a car, because it’s rude to scream curse words back at them, and they’d just laugh anyway. We’re taught to pin on smiles for the boys who jeer at us on the street who see us as convenient bodies instead of people. Girls are taught: hush, be hairless and small and soft, so we sit there and take it and hold in the howling, pretend to be obedient lapdogs instead of the wolves we are. We pin pretty little sharp smiles on our faces instead of opening our mouths, because if we do we get accused of silly women emotions blowing everything out of proportion with our PMS, we get condescending pet names and not-so-discreet eyerolls. Once, I got told I punched like a girl. I told him, Good. I hope my pretty little sharp rings leave scars.

raise your hand if you’ve ever been disgusted by your own fandom…

if you don’t raise your hand, chances are you’re the one your fandom is disgusted with

Do you want to know what’s a strange feeling? Having a platonic crush on someone. You go through all the same crap as with a romantic crush, trying to impress them, not wanting to seem over eager, wanting to talk to them all the time. The only difference is, instead of wanting to kiss them until they can’t breathe, you want to rent all of the movies with them and have a sleep over. It’s rather disconcerting.

Look how nobody’s yelling or arguing or making things into a competition. Look how this is to straight up educate people through a different perspective. Look how effective that makes the message.
