What’s in a name?

Has this joke been done already? Sorry if it has…

About a week ago I posted this.

I’ve been getting horrible messages like this in my ask for months, including:

and my personal favorite

After getting the message saying “Just go kill yourself” I was completely done dealing with this person’s horrible messages and replied with just an “Okay.” and logged off tumblr.

About a week later I logged back on with 17 messages in my ask, most of them from the anon. I scrolled down and at first when I logged off, the anon messaged me things like

I scrolled up more and all of a sudden they started sending me more and more messages like

This was extremely surprising to me. I thought “After all those horrible messages you sent to me for MONTHS about hating me and wanting me dead, you say ‘sorry’ and that you ‘cant be responsible for someone’s suicide’?”

But I guess the lesson goes like this:

DONT TELL ANYONE TO KILL THEMSELVES UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED FOR WHAT MIGHT ACTUALLY HAPPEN

This cargo ship from 1909 is starting to make zero-emissions deliveries again

Sailcargo doesn’t expect to replace the massive industry. But as companies look for ways to reduce emissions, it can offer a solution that works now. Because it doesn’t use shipping containers—goods are loaded on pallets—it also has some logistical advantages. “Some of these fast vessels have to wait at port often up to two weeks, because they’re dependent on the port infrastructure,” says Doggett. “They need the big crane to unload the container. We do not—we can unload ourselves.”

Doggett, who started sailing on tall ships as a 13-year-old, started thinking about the potential to revive traditional cargo shipping more than a decade ago. In 2014, she and two partners launched the company and later began working on building a traditional vessel from scratch. While traveling, Doggett had also run across the Vega. The ship, built in 1909, had been retired in the 1960s, as fossil-fueled container ships started to dominate trade routes. It was headed for the scrapyard when a family of Swedish shipbuilders rescued it and spent years restoring it; Doggett, who loved the design, stayed in touch with them and eventually made a deal to buy it.

I keep saying that the media only reporting death as THE negative result of getting covid has fucked up how we view catching this virus. Getting it, surviving but not being able to walk 2 blocks without passing out ain't it.

Get your shots and wear a mask.

I recently got diagnosed with post-viral chronic fatigue syndrome & heart palpitations after suffering from other debilitating long COVID symptoms for two years. My ME/CFS is not as bad as this person’s, but I relate. I’m 21 and got COVID when I was 19 years old. I used to go to the gym 5 days a week. Not anymore!

Here’s a comic piece I did about my experience, and another comic about others’ long COVID experiences.

What if we started actively disincentivizing landlords letting real estate stay empty rather than renting at reasonable prices? Like, give them a maximum of three months to get a new tenant in, and then they start accumulating fines for the unused space.

And some similar system to disincentivize the ridiculous airbnb market as well. Make it unprofitable to have homes sitting empty in a city where people with jobs find themselves living in tents. Hell, make it unprofitable to have homes sitting empty anywhere that has a homelessness problem.

The fine? The full rent amount they’re asking for. You think $1700/month for a studio apartment is reasonable? Well, until you get someone into that apartment, you’re going to be fined that same sum every month.

For Airbnb, a lower cost, but still based on how many nights/month the space is unused, and the fine will be based on the asking price per night.

This is… really, really sensible.

freackthejester

literally email this idea to your local city council representative or similar lowest level government person. if there are meetings that are open to the public, go speak your piece there. an idea like this is very sensible, and this is an issue they are thinking about.

there will be traction. I’m not saying you can get it to happen, the owners of large complexes have a lot of control over your local government. but it’s not complete control, and good ideas are powerful.

Vancouver slaps $10,000 a year tax on empty homes. Lie about it and it’s $10,000 a day

Thanks for the link, and fuck yeah! This is exactly the stuff I’m talking about.

Milwaukee and San Francisco are also looking into policies like these. These ideas are out there and being explored, and I think that’s pretty neat.

If your city has council meetings open to the public (a lot do!), they’re probably listed on your city’s website. Getting a group of people together can be even more powerful, since officials can see it’s at least more than one person who thinks it’s a good idea.

Lower-level local government people are usually happy to hear from you, too. An email pointing out the other places that have tried it and their results could go a long way. Some local government people will even let constituents schedule a short meeting with them where you could present ideas.

its always "what are your plans for the future, you should really be planning for the future" and never "wow that character you're obsessed with sounds so cool can you explain them to me. im sure you get them more than anyone else"
