I think people have truly lost any ability to be patient with storytelling.

‘I don’t understand this’ They’ll explain it if you wait.

‘I don’t like how this episode left things hanging’ There’s a continuation next week.

‘This character is flat’ Wait for them to be fleshed out.

So many of the complaints I see about shows lately are people being confused by things THAT THE SHOW WANTS YOU TO BE CONFUSED BY THATS THE FUN OF MYSTERY AND FORESHADOWING YOU ABSOLUTE GOBLINS THE MAIN CHARACTER IS ALSO CONFUSED AND THEYRE GONNA DO A BIG REVEAL AND EXPLANATION LATER IF YOU WOULD JUST FUCKING WAIT

Oh.

We're at "traffic tickets are justification for disappearing people off the street and sending them to death camps with no due process" levels of fascism now.

Okay yeah we're like fucked, fucked.

This trip stripped me of all that I was in the crutch of my family. Codependency coated my every decision and I felt my only purpose was to die or follow in the shadows of others like some overlooked soldier. Leaving the country was the best decision I have ever made, that entire expedition fueled the confidence, admiration, and will that this continued servitude previously drained from me. As my life unravels, it is no longer the words I search for, but myself. What am I but a continuation of those following a similar path; an abandoned chrysalis of a creature dismissed and sneered at by others. A husk of my potential, now being consumed by the creature that escaped it, absorbing every last morsel, descending each day unto its calling. Nature flowing around me, my significance is not lesser, but integrated into such an orphic current that is life. As I grow, so will my confidence, as no matter the strife that my heart carries, existing and allowing it space in my mind shall balance all that follows.

To new beginning through my expeditions and experiences, minimal and extravagant!

i need everyone to know that community is what will save us all in every single way imaginable. you forming a bond with your neighbour or coworker might help them move house or feel less alone or have the courage to leave an unhealthy living environment. you helping a stranger might provide them with hope. in turn, being able to lean on your community in times of need will save you. your broader bonds with your community are the revolution we need. our society seeks to divide and separate us in so many ways but we are all so much more united in our struggles and joys than you are made to believe. we need to hold onto each other very tightly.

I love it here. You're telling me I can just walk outside and see a bug? There's just little animals out there? I might see a snail going for a nice stroll? I might see a millipede skipping around? There might be weevils? There could be a tiny little mantis or a big ol roach? They're just out there, and I can see them, for free???

Electric Vehicles May Not be the Ultimate Solution, but Complacence Doesn't Begin to Compare in Terms of Adequacy

My mother speaks to me about the dangers that energy such as lithium-ion provide through the abrupt combustion, the danger factor that these electric vehicles have. What of the highly unstable spontaneous combustion engines, what of the overheating of oil powered products. We use phones and laptops with rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, what of them within your consideration.

As of 2022, there were 19 fatalities from these batteries, 19. These batteries are used in modern vehicles to power everything, as their electric current flows to the spontaneous combustion engines to get it working, and without your readily available gas, this battery cannot do anything for you. Of course, there will still be fossil fuels used for production, but that's not what you're worried about is it. Tailpipe emission combined with the emissions used in the fossil fuel transportation, drilling, filtration, and refinement, what do you think is powering the processing of fossil fuels. It's an endless cycle because we've prioritized constant advancement over viable sustainability. The society we are in has separated us and made specific infrastructure to feed to the needs of these machines. Why must things be so far away, why must towns be separated by countless miles of roads. People can adjust their way of thinking, as they paved the roads for cars, they can have the road to a life that future generations don't have to fight for their

They complain so readily about how dangerous these energy methods are, and that's why they'll never use them. And how safe are the fossil fuels that pollute us? Just because you can't see something doesn't mean it's not harming you. But they are seeing it, in the increased rate of asthma, sea levels rising, threatening to engulf entire geographic areas, violent hurricanes, cardiovascular problems, rapid disease mutation, and the list will continue to grow as people brush these off. It is controllable. Just because you can't directly fix something now doesn't mean you should stop trying and leave the task for someone else. These actions are not for personal gain and guarantees of the present. Any cleaner energy leading up to better energy efficiency is worth it, wven if you don't live to see it. Having such a vast world around us, every effort for the better makes a difference for the lives of the future.

So, there's apparently research coming out now about microplastics being found in people's bloodstreams and the possible negative effects of that and I feel the need to get out ahead of the wave of corporate sponsored "be sure to recycle your bottles!" or "ban glitter!" campaigns and remind everyone: It's fishing nets. It's fishing nets. It is overwhelming fishing nets It always has been fishing nets. Unless regulations are changed, it will continue to be fishing nets. The plastic in the ocean in largely discarded nets from industrial fishing. The microplastics are the result of these nets breaking down. The "trash islands" are also, you guessed it. Mostly fishing nets and other discarded fishing industry equipment. Do not allow them to continue to twist the story. Do not come after disabled people who require single use plastics. Do not come after people using glitter in art projects and makeup. These things make up a negligible amount of the issue compared to corporate waste, specifically in the fishing industry. Do not let them shift the blame to the individual so they can continue to destroy the planet and our bodies without regulation.

Industries are incredibly resistant to taking responsibility for their own waste, to the point where “consumers are responsible for industrial waste” is somehow considered a sensible, ethical, worthy sentence.

It is actually perfectly reasonable to say that “industries are responsible for industrial waste” and “the effects of industry can, should and must be fixed by industry” and “Industry can, should and must be held responsible for its impacts on the commons, such as air, water, oceans and land.”

Do you know how much ocean plastic waste is straws?

Something like 0.0007%.

IT’S NOT EVEN ONE ONE-HUNDREDTH OF A PERCENT.

But they want you to hate the disabled people who need safe and bendable and sanitary plastic straws in order to be able to drink. So you won’t notice the 70+% that’s fishing nets.

theredontbedragons

Yes, it’s fishing nets. But that’s still only part of the problem.

It’s what you brush your teeth with. What your food is packaged in. What your drinks are bottled in. The material of your clothes. Whether or not they end up being recycled, or floating in the sea, it’s the lifetime of everyday things we use.
