I swear to god my theme song if I had a song that played every time I opened the front door.... It’d be Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen.

I’ve been thinking a bunch lately about wanting something to chew on, not to eat, but just to chew on for the sensation of it, and just now while I was nomming the handle of the mug I just drained of all its tea (awkwardly, it is not shaped for that sort of thing), I realized: I should just get a teething ring.

Yes, it was, like, a week and a half til graduation. And yes, Katie was the last of the Davenport siblings to find out even though Leslie had originally planned on telling her first...but Leslie needed to get this off her chest. With Katie, she would be all out. Literally.

“Hey, thanks for meeting me. I didn’t want to go to the school and I knew you had your last Elkhorn weekend coming up.”

I just read the soulmate AU about the colors and it's the sappiest shit ever and I love it sm!!!! Great job :)

oh my g o D I’m so happy you liked it!!! lowkey that’s probably the fic I’m the proudest of... thank you so much for letting me know you liked it!

On Efficient Electrical Power Generation

So over the past week I did one of the many things I do: the Long Dive. It’s my name for that thing you do where you learn something and then spend days researching it and related things to it. This time, I did a Long Dive into Solarpunk. Now, I’m going to say this first: I don’t particularly like solarpunk. I don’t actually like the fucking sun to begin with, and would be happy to just live in a tech-filled cave, lit by candlelight (because modern lights are just too painful and the assholes of the world decided that incandescent lights were too inefficient to use). I’m also not a fan of lunarpunk, really, because of how it’s executed more than anything. That said, while I don’t particularly enjoy the aesthetics, I did look into the theory behind it, and it did get me thinking. Power is actually really easy to generate; electricity would be amazingly cheap if it were just a matter of producing as much of it as we want. The issue, really, is in both storing it and moving it about; moving it demands it be in use at the end point and also requires a physical chain of conductive matter to pass through, and storing it is a bitch because we just don’t have any batteries that can store enough to be viable as a long-distance storage medium. It’s actually interesting; cheap electricity exists, but shipping it isn’t impossible, so people have had to turn to other methods to utilize their cheap electricity, like refining aluminium as a one-step-removed export of electricity. Hell, it’s actually even cheaper than you might think; I can’t remember where I read it, and I don’t feel like looking it up right now, but I remember reading that a solar field covering most of the Mojave desert would be enough to supply all the power needs in the U.S. if there were a practical way to transmit and store all the power it would produce. So that got me thinking: what about hydrogen? It’s not as if there’s much difficulty in storing it (we do it all the time), its production is easy (run electric current through water, releasing hydrogen and oxygen), and its reuse isn’t complicated or inefficient. Even if you burn it instead of more efficient methods of drawing power you still only create water instead of the lethal smog of gasoline. Shit, I suppose it still qualifies as pretty solarpunk in theory, just because you’re harnessing sunlight through a solar field to generate electricity in order to extract hydrogen, the very thing the sun itself is powered by (well, a different variety of hydrogen, yes, but fuck it). The only issue I could see is in the form of water and space limitations, but those could be addressed easily. A single super-high voltage/amperage line running from the field to the ocean and you have all the water you need (and the ability to extract about a thousand other things from the sea water at the same time). If that’s not an option, just build the thing on the water itself! If we have the ability to build gigantic platforms rooted to the ocean floor with the goal of getting more inefficient, unclean, unhealthy, and unforgivably leaky fuel (deep-sea oil drilling platforms) then I don’t see why it would be too much worse to build such platforms with the goal of a much better (though less immediately efficient) fuel that doesn’t have so many hazards (and which, even if it leaks, doesn’t come with so many risks or issues).
