Something that I think should be an important part of solarpunk aesthetics is screws.

Look at your smartphone. No screws. You've got to have specialized tools to get inside your phone to repair something. There are certain pieces of tech that are glued in place and glue can't be undone without permanently breaking the bond.

But screws!

You can take apart a broken old radio, repair what's broken, and, if you were careful in taking it apart, you can put it back together and have a fully functioning radio and all you need is a common screwdriver!

It's hard to build screws and other mechanical fasteners because it requires more planning than clamps and glues, but isn't that what solarpunk is all about‽ It's about care and sustainability and and a radio or a computer built carefully with repair in mind is a sustainable computer that stays out of landfills and in use.

to anyone in the areas impacted by the wildfire smoke, my #1 biggest piece of advice as someone whos been dealing with wildfire smoke in the NW united states for years, is build yourself a Corsi-Rosenthal Cube

they perform as well as expensive HEPA air cleaners, and are comparatively VERY inexpensive. all you need is a box fan, 4 air filters, a piece of cardboard, and some duct tape!!!!

i think it took us maybe a half hour to put ours together, if that, and we replace the filters every 3 months. it's really made a HUGE difference, both when the air quality is bad, but also with our allergies

Great time to start pricing this out by the way, fire season starts… on the summer solstice this year, that’s fun. Signs point to it being a doozy.

Petition to get Wednesday officially changed to Whensday.

Easier to spell.

What I say whenever that day comes around. When is it?

Won't have to change pronunciation, and it will finally be spelled like it sounds.

[green5quirrel]

Fuck it. Let's rename them all.

Onesday, Twosday, Whensday, Foursday, Fiveday, Sixday, Sevenday

in the age of ozempic, take my hands...its okay to gain weight and to want to be fatter. Normalize talking about gaining weight for no reason other than you want to. Heal your relationship with your body and with food. Its okay to want to be fatter.

[fratello-rigatoni]

I hope that someday we can talk as casually and positively about wanting to Gain weight as people do about losing it. Its not disordered. Its not harmful. You dont need to justify gaining weight or getting fatter. We should be celebrating healing our relationships with food and our bodies and the word Fat.

HELP A MEXICAN PARENT AFFORD MEDICATION AND HEALTHCARE

I'm Calli, I'm a mexican trans nonbinary parent, aside from caring for my kids and my chronic illnesses I also help my partner support his parents and sister after they lost everything to a house fire 2 years ago.

We never made the goal on our last post, the funny thing about food and basic necessities is that they are always running out and without a stable income we're always struggling to eat or go to our doctor appointments.

Right now I'm in urgent need of money to buy my medication and to pay my healthcare renewal or I will lose it. Considering I'm a week into a second period this month and my liver demands a strict diet I really need to keep my healthcare.

Anything, anything helps, at least consider giving us a reblog please.

I leave a link to our previous post so you can back track, for transparency's sake. On the last post there is a link to my archive proving I've been here since 2013, this blog is old and I'd hate to lose it.

Urgently I need at least $135+$230 to cover my healthcare and medication. I have until february 23rd.

$0/$700

*We also hand wash all our clothes, doing so for 9 people is time consuming and exhausting, so a bit of help affording the laundromat would be lovely too. We also aspire to save enough to afford a mattress so we can stop sleeping on the floor this year, maybe afford to fix the mold because it keeps fucking up our health.

[chingaderita]

Hope I'm not bothering by asking very politely for a reblog, please.
