The Council of Elders beckons you.

From the Solarpunk Aesthetic tumblr:

Biotechnologist Marin Sawa and her University of London research group have created a proof-of-concept for printing solar cells onto paper using carbon nanotubes and cyanobacteria.

This technology is "[...] capable of generating a sustained electrical current both in the dark (as a ‘solar bio-battery’) and in response to light (as a ‘bio-solar-panel’) with potential applications in low-power devices."

pro: brain helps you learn things by repeating them over and over

con: you dont get to choose which things

crows can form a “mental template” of tools based on other crows’ tools and their own past tools, which would explain why New Caledonian crows’ tools could have improved over time

please don't boost stuff about politics if it doesn't have a CW, thanks

"i'm not cw'ing this because it's important" is a great way to get blocked

On social media:

me: how do i do this thing in blender??

you: its pretty simple. all you do is

coz usually the people willing to put the most work in, even for the most urgent and disastrous political horrors... are multiply marginalised people.

multiply marginalised people are more likely to have ptsd and are at more risk of burnout and have more engagement with activism. AND less avenues of treatment available.

this idea that scaring fence-sitting liberals is worth more than helping seasoned activists work safely.. it's not realistic. people ignoring it aren't gonna help

if you would like me to be able to read urgent things, please CW it so that not only can i read it, i can also responsibly boost it, and like, KEEP reading it if i have to stop

"i'm not CWing this because it's important to actually read it" translates to "i'm not CWing because any time this pops up anywhere in your life, nomatter how much you've read or done about it elsewhere, you should be forced to read it"

do u really think the people who don't open "urgent, USpol" are willing to act?

If you really think about it. Some day youer going to build. Your squid. And set. It. Free. And I think that's beaurtifupl

thats called investigative journalism

i didnt know that striped hyenas existed until about 3 years ago when i happened upon a screengrab from the slightly sub-par 1966 historical comedy musical A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, which had live hyenas on set, and i was like "what the fuck is this, theyve painted stripes onto a dog" and i had to download the entire movie just to find the 8 seconds that had them in to confirm they were a real animal

that skeleton needs a queer skeleton boy who wears dresses and is kinda more violent and problematic though still an OK watch
