Yo What's Up?

HI. I'm Avery. Welcome to my blog. Black is beautiful. I am multi-fandom trash.

Funny growing up in the late 2000s and seeing constant "don't text and drive" warnings, PSAs telling us to put our phones down behind the wheel, wait until you're home to send that text, a phone-distracted driver is a deadly driver etc etc

Only for modern car manufacturers to be like "we made the car a phone :) now you have to text and drive to change the radio station :)"

Trying to sleep during a heatwave is a great reminder that all oil executives need to die painful painful deaths

there are places in the world today that are experiencing 40°C for the first time in recorded history. of course there's no way to know whether chucking billionaires into volcanos will appease the sun god but i feel we're doing the scientific method a disservice if we don't at least try

using violence to liberate people from sweatshops, unsafe mines, and grinding poverty isn't the same as using violence to impose those things on people. the idea that violence is morally repugnant regardless of context is a belief that every oppressor throughout history would love for the oppressed to hold

if theres one thing that really pissed me off from my 3 years of architecture i took in high school it's learning about how we used to have all these little techniques to maximize or minimize heat or warmth and now we just merrily abandoned all those to have the same copypaste style buildings everywhere that are often INCREDIBLY unoptimized to the local weather and climate so we can just throw more money at our heating and cooling bills

[the-supernatural-atheist]

where i live it is hot as balls approximately 80% of the year. i do not want a massive butt-ugly grey mcmansion with a huge echoey open-concept kitchen-livingroom-foyer-diningroom-staircase that has huge windows so i can have an hvac unit the size of a barge heaving and straining to keep it at a constant 72 the grees. i want a north indian traditional style home with small windows to force the airflow to cool, decorative grates to limit the amount of sunlight, and a COURTYARD with a POND *smashes unspecified large object*

[makaeru]

I hate learning about instances of "oh yeah we know how to do that, we just don't".

[marzipanandminutiae]

this is exactly why I love talking about historical passive heating and cooling techniques

oh wow the glass-tower office buildings we constructed when we thought air conditioning and central heating would never have downsides...have downsides?

and we're still building them?

while the Victorian house museum where I work, with thick walls and small windows and big wooden shutters stays ~10 degrees above (winter) or below (summer) the outside temperature for days on end with no help at all?

uh. okay then

(also public transit. the history of public transit in the US is infuriating, because we had it! and then we destroyed it!)

Bridgerton men get told to shut the fuck up for the first time in their lives and start imagining themselves in a wedding dress

idk what we’ll actually see in canon but the idea of francesca losing control, in any way, because of michaela is soooo good, that woman derails her

francesca is known to her family and the viewers as being almost perfect, she’s composed and neat and everything that’s expected of a woman in her society, sure she’s from an extremely privileged family, but by all accounts she’s… boring, calm and collected, chosing a good but not very interesting husband within the expected rank, not a big role in her family, not the most or least loved, she’s just… there, she has trouble understanding people but does well enough, doesn’t raise her voice or argue much even when she disagrees

but then michaela enters her life and that composure is derailed, michaela and francesca have had two scenes together and we’ve already seen frannie do things we’re not used to, she has to gulp and catch her breath and really work to remain in control, this just happens when they exchange two sentences together, literally

imagine what will happen when michaela touches her, says something she’s not supposed to say, comes a little too close, the neat, composed perfect child will unravel, she will get angry, upset, she’ll blush and stutter and scream and lose control

she’ll feel extreme highs and lows for the first time in her life and she won’t understand, her family won’t understand and wonder why francesca of all people is losing it, but one day francesca will get it and that process will be such a satisfying watch

I still can't recover from this part.

The last thing he saw and thought of was his two favorite people in the world.

Victor Alli as John Stirling was such an amazing cast, hes such a sweetheart and lovely person. Never cried while reading their book but good i was sobbing watching the episode.
