you need to support trans people who don’t want top or bottom surgery and that has to include the potential for them not having top or bottom dysphoria, trans people still having sex, and trans people conceiving children regardless of how you personally feel about the subject.

and that’s not just on cis people, thats on fellow trans people to be supportive of that too.

i need to take a shower but genuinely this applies to fandom spaces too, trans ppl are allowed to create art of trans characters who look like them and feel the way they feel and that includes trans characters who not just can’t but don’t want surgery, who still like their bodies and still interact with them including in nsfw ways.

if that makes you uncomfortable by all means don’t interact, but that means don’t interact. don’t tell them they’re not really trans and certainly don’t accuse them of being transphobic (or homo/lesbophobic!) for producing content in ways that make them feel seen.

Photovoltaic panels are a boon for clean energy but are tricky to recycle. As the oldest ones expire, get ready for a solar e-waste glut.

…the solar e-waste glut is coming. By 2050, the International Renewable Energy Agency projects that up to 78 million metric tons of solar panels will have reached the end of their life, and that the world will be generating about 6 million metric tons of new solar e-waste annually. While the latter number is a small fraction of the total e-waste humanity produces each year, standard electronics recycling methods don’t cut it for solar panels. Recovering the most valuable materials from one, including silver and silicon, requires bespoke recycling solutions. And if we fail to develop those solutions along with policies that support their widespread adoption, we already know what will happen.

“If we don’t mandate recycling, many of the modules will go to landfill,” said Arizona State University solar researcher Meng Tao, who recently authored a review paper on recycling silicon solar panels, which comprise 95 percent of the solar market.

This is not a condemnation of solar power itself - but a lesson in how green capitalism undermines it’s own efforts by attempting to create a consumer market for what should remain infrastructural.

The type of photovoltaic panels are being sold to individual homeowners as a responsible purchase to help the environment. However the reality is that these panels are simply cheap enough that a market can be created, which is untrue for other solar systems.

PV panels are inefficient, especially when they are simply bolted to a roof. The more efficient systems of solar power are not things which can be sold to the average homeowner, and thus are not as popular within capitalism. This inefficiency is precisely what will generate the e-waste in question.

Efficient systems of solar power are centralized facilities where mirrors are used to reflect sunlight onto a particular location. The most common version of this still uses PV panels, however they are able to use less panels and get much higher output through auxiliary systems - mirrors, sun-tracking, and so on which remain unavailable to consumers.

The far more promising method of solar power does not use Photovoltaics at all. Concentrated solar thermal has more in common with geo-thermal than it does your typical PV grid. These power plants use a field of mirrors to reflect a huge amount of sunlight into one location, transferring a lot of heat to that one location. The heat is converted into electricity via a steam turbine.

Additionally because Solar-Thermal is a heat based system, power can be retained in the form of heat using systems like molten salt. This reduces the demand for efficient systems of storing electricity itself, one of the greatest challenges to both photovoltaic and wind based power systems.

gonna be a mean dyke here and say im tired and over all of the “shoutout to nonconventional butches” posts cos like yeah sure not every butch is big, strong, hypermasculine, but literally WHO is making positivity for the ones that are? nearly every damn butch that gets attention on this site is white, thin, and more androgynous than masculine anyways so excuse me for not caring about the feelings of the ones that think butch is too limiting because they want to wear dresses sometimes 😂

American Girl was the best shit. I’ve seen people get grossed out by the illustrations in their puberty books, but lord, how else was I supposed to properly learn? American Girl gave zero fucks about conservative family feelings. They were like “girls need to know this shit and we’re going to market it in such a way that you buy it”

imfemalewarrior

American girl took the time to help teach little girls (including me) about the changes our bodies would go through during puberty, as well as how we might feel from that. I remember the books had advice for girls who would write in talking about how puberty made them feel, and American girl would write back first validating their feelings then giving them advice to help desk with the problems.

jealousy isn’t the way bro

Some take-aways from the Trump tax thing:

1. The way he’s been able to continue functioning is a classic rich fuck tactic, in which if your business fails to the tune of, say, 15 million dollars, you can carry that loss forward across several years to avoid paying taxes. One massive loss can clear out your personal tax burden for several years, even as you bring in more money with new businesses and investments.

2. Trump is literally a national security risk. If he underwent the same background check other people need to pass to get clearance, he would have fucking flunked it. The NYT piece says there’s a mysterious foreign debt lender on Trump’s records, whom he owes half a billion dollars, and we don’t currently know who the fuck that is. But that debt is personally guaranteed to come due in the next few years, and he doesn’t have the money to even dent it. So, what does a man with no morals do when he owes a shitton of money and has no way to pay? Apparently he runs for president.

3. According to Dan Alexander at Forbes, the actual amount that Trump owes is spread across a lot of his properties and comes to around $1.1 billion overall. Same dude is trying to tally up how much income Trump’s properties bring in. So far, it doesn’t add up to that much.

4. Trump’s businesses are almost exclusively real estate, hospitality, and attractions. All of them were hit hard by COVID. This readily explains why he was so adamant about reopening the country as quickly as possible; his loan repayments depend on that income.

5. Also explains why he spends so much time away from the WH and at his own properties. When we talk about how much the taxpayer spends on Trump’s outings and golf trips, if that money is paid to the Trump Organization, it’s essentially an attempt to funnel money out of the US Govt and into his pockets to, again, prepare to pay off his massive debts.

6. He’s essentially using the IRS as a loan provider. That massive 72.9 million dollar tax return from the IRS that he’s being audited over, it’s essentially him taking out a ‘loan’ to try to pay down other prior debts.

7. Oh yeah and he stealthily wrote off a bunch of money in “consulting fees” that were paid to fucking Ivanka. Imagine using your own daughter to dodge taxes, jesus.

Basically, Trump has done the billionaire version of taking out a credit card to pay off other credit card debt, and the time is running out for him to make payments. His entire presidency is a money-making scheme of someone who is coming up on major deadlines on his loans and doesn’t have the money to pay.

There’s a lot of reading to do, but I personally suggest this thread from the Forbes guy, which outlines how much Trump is in debt for each of his properties, and then how much operating profit is allegedly coming in.

this video was made by the devil

ah, 5-minute crafts. i can almost guarantee you that most of these won’t even work

This youtuber does debunking videos and I recognise some of those from her videos

bleauberry

I love Ann Reardon when she shits all over these fake how-to videos.

such-justice-wow

Yeah she’s great! Her videos were actually featured on a BBC segment on twitter about how dangerous some of these life hacks can be to attempt

sharkflip

So the debunking video above led me to watch another debunking video, which started down a very intriguing wormhole of asking why people are producing fake how-to videos like this, and the short version is they’re exploiting algorithms to generate ad revenue and the long version is they’re produced by a Russian content farm that has made some forays into American political ads.

Which is abruptly sobering and worth watching.

waayix

Ann Reardon also has a patreon to help keep her channel running because of this shitty algorithm, PLEASE GO SUPPORT HER WHILE YOU CAN!

She seriously doesn’t deserve the treatment youtube’s been giving her, so please support her as much as you can and make sure this shitty farming channel goes down in flames.

It promotes EXTREMELY DANGEROUS activities such as PUTTING STRAWBERRIES INTO A GLASS OF BLEACH TO TURN THEM WHITE WHICH IS POISONOUS. AND POURING LAVA HOT CARAMEL ONTO A SPINNING WHISK, WHICH WOULD EASILY BURN YOU AND LEAVE A SCAR.

It’s amazing how youtube still tolerates this kind of behavior just because it’s pumping out videos 24/7 and sucking up all of the views. It’s unacceptable and it needs to be stopped as soon as possible.

Again, support Ann Reardon and her cause as much as possible and report the opposing videos promoting this shit. DO NOT LEAVE A COMMENT ON THE VIDEOS! YOU’LL ONLY GIVE THE ALGORITHM THE IDEA THAT THIS VIDEO IS SHAREABLE!

imfemalewarrior

Reardon is fighting to raise awareness about this because these channels are killing channels run by real people like herself and other cooking channels. One of her first debunking videos goes into greater detail about it but basically cooking channels are not getting as much profit or are losing money for every video they make because they get buried by the videos from these content farms.

Don’t watch content farms videos!

Anne Reardon’s videos really opened my eyes to the danger and the unethical practice of content farms.

Youtube allows it because it makes them money. Money is not more important that ethics. Learn from this!

imfemalewarrior

Content farms also target children with peppa pig and elsa cartoons in youtube kids (youtube also does next to nothing about this) and it isn’t widely understood the impacts this will have on childhood development since these videos don’t actually impart any lessons and are not complex like avatar and other things a lot of us grew up watching were. Kids of a young enough age don’t understand the impacts their views are having in the grand scheme of things (and certainly not on themselves since even researchers don’t know what the impacts are), but people are noticing how some people make videos meant to be a challenge (think like bloody mary and how frightening that was for some of us? Now imagine that kind of thing buried in a YouTube video aimed at small children who can’t yet tell reality from fiction) but are just dangerous and frightening, then telling the kids their whole family will die if they say anything to anyone about it. Fun times! /S

Those of us who are old enough to know better need to do things like refusing to watch the garbage churned out by these content farms, reporting videos that feature dangerous things (such as the aforementioned secret challenge videos and bleached strawberries videos and copyright violations), and probably not allowing kids under a certain age on youtube period or supervising them on youtube to help keep them safe
