I still cackle about that hypothetical Baby Book theme park that ppl were saying was going to happen in like 2012. u go there and immediately either step on a landmine or get bitten by a rabid raccoon honestly tame compared to public transit in Toronto

#although that would be such a funny bit. like charging travel bloggers $80 for a bowl of gruel and squirrel meat #that immediately makes them violently ill and park security just takes them to a random shack and lays them on the kitchen table overnight #morphling is an extra $40. it’s just a couple t3s dissolved in white gatorade #angry white lady youtube video titled ‘DO NOT DRINK THE CREEK WATER AT THE PANEM EXPERIENCE™️’ #and a clickbait thumbnail w her soccer team of children covered in coal dust with ‘HE CONTRACTED TUBERCULOSIS!’ superimposed on them #thg

The old Coal Barn and Quay at Thornham. by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: They say smugglers once plied their trade in the creeks that criss cross the salt marsh. Now the Coal Barn is almost all that remains of Thornham's once-bustling harbour..Thornham Quay is now only a shadow of its former self, as indeed are all of North Norfolk’s little harbour villages. Gone are the days when small ships used to navigate these now silted – up creeks, bringing goods into Norfolk from all over the world. As in many situations inevitable economic growth outstripped this mode of transportation and it became unsustainable and incompatible with the needs of modern life and the canals and rivers of the UK subsequently became disused. However, these quaint little places still retain their charm and you can still picture the scene as it was. The quay at Thornham still has its old coal barn and many sets from films have been made there. It is a lovely place early in the morning and also late in the evening, when you can have the place to yourself with only the call of the Redshank and the Curlew for company.

Denali Has a Way of Taking One's Breath Away! (Denali State and National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: This was a view looking to the west-northwest while taking a break hiking up a mountainside along the Little Coal Creek Trail in Denali State Park. When a friend and I had stopped at the north viewpoint before starting on this hike, Denali had been out, but the angles with the foothills had minimized taking in the full “alpenglow" of the mountain peak with the morning sunlight. It was only later as we hiked up the mountainside and cleared the forested area that we were able to take in the views people often imagine seeing of the Great One, Denali. I did some initial post-processing work making adjustments to contrast, brightness and saturation while playing around as I learned how to work with DxO PhotoLab 3 that I’d recently purchased after moving away from Capture NX2.

"FEAR COAL FAMINE; TRACTION COMPANY TO RESORT TO OIL," Vancouver Sun. October 9, 1912. Page 3. --- B. C. Electric Applies to City for Permission to Install Auxiliary Tanks on Main Street. --- MATTER IS URGENT, SAYS REPRESENTATIVE ---- Trouble Over the Connection of the Burnaby Line at Commercial Drive ---- Bearing out the reports printed exclusively in The Sun as to the possibility of a coal shortage in Vancouver unless a settlement be soon effected with the striking coal miners on Vancouver Island, the British Columbia Electric yesterday took action that indicates a fear that there will be a coal famine within the next few weeks which will seriously cripple their service. To meet this condition they petitioned the board of works for leave to lay a temporary siding on Union street, on which they could place oil tanks to supply their bollers with a portion of the fuel they require.

In a letter to the board Chief Engineer Conway of the B. C. Electric pointed out that if there was shortage of coal it would be absolutely necessary that they have some other means of keeping their boilers going.

City Engineer Fellowes was in sympathy with the request of the company, but the members of the committee refused to allow unprotected oil tanks on the street.

Might Burn False Creek. Ald. Baxter pointed out that if they should catch fire, the whole bed of False Creek would be in a blaze within a brief interval and half the property along the shore be destroyed.

A representative of the company who was present declared that the matter was urgent. The company wanted the tanks within the next week or fortnight, and could not wait to put in permanent tanks, as certain members of the committee proposed they should.

It was eventually decided that the company should be allowed to put in underground tanks, which would com- ply with the regulations of the Under- writers' association. The privilege is, however, only given for six months, and the tanks have to be so placed as not to interfere in any way with the traffic on the street.

B. C. E. Up Against It. Apparently the B. C. Electric company is up against it in the matter of making connections between the Burnaby line and the city service at Commercial drive.

Three years ago council gave the company permission to make a temporary connection, and now the B. C. E. want it to be made permanent. In a letter to the board of works they stated that an order for the connection had been made by the railway commission, but as the railway commission's jurisdiction ceases at the end of the Burnaby line's private right-of-way, it was evident, and the board satisfied itself that there was and could be no order regarding the Commercial drive connection.

Some of the members of the committee wished to give the company peremptory notice to take their curve out, but better counsels prevailed and finally it was decided that the engineer be asked to write and ascertain just what the company proposes to do. The feeling of the committee is that the company should find some other means of connection with the city.

Street Is Impassable. A deputation from Commercial drive asked the council to have the street made passable as soon as possible. They said that on their part of the street there were twenty-two stores vacated, simply because there was no access to them.

The city engineer placed the blame partly on the Bitulithic company. which has the contract for paving the street, and partly on the fact that material had to be found for other streets, where pavement had been begun first.

Several members of the deputation stated that the sidewalk facilities were even worse than the roadway. Many buildings have to be moved back, and in places there is not room for people to get into the shops. The matter will be taken up a once by the proper officials and all the relief possible given.

It will be two months, according to Chief Engineer Fellowes, before connection can be made between the sewerage system of Point Grey and that of Vancouver.

From the Chesapeake and Ohio Historical Newsletter (June 1974) comes this history titled “The Shops at Peach Creek” composed by C.A. Coulter. This is Part 1 of Mr. Coulter’s account. The railroad was first built to Logan in 1904, the first train arriving on September 9 of that year. The line was started at Barboursville, West Virginia, on the main line, and ran up the Guyan River for 65 miles to…

It's easy to see how chemophobia became so widespread to the point that companies advertise their products as containing "only ingredients you can pronounce." It's wretched that this spawned the antivax movement and other similar movements, but there are incredibly good historical reasons behind WHY people are terrified of "chemicals."

Reasons like: Agent Orange, DDT, Superfund sites, any of a wide range of incidents where chemical companies—in many cases, knowingly—poisoned people and communities because Number Go Up. History has shown again and again that companies do not give a fuck about ruining people's lives exposing them to toxic substances.

Unfortunately these people live in a world where EVERYTHING around them contains ingredients they can't pronounce and there is very little knowledge of basic chemistry, and a person has no choice but to either develop life-altering paranoia about contamination, or just settle into a sense of (naive?) security about the Chemicals in the world around them.

So these powerful cultural memories (and totally rational distrust of Bayer, DuPont, and Monsanto) have been hijacked to Sell Product (No chemicals! Ingredients you can pronounce! All Natural! Organic!) and/or been channeled into some horrible and ultimately baseless movements that, these days, form a pipeline straight into fascism.

Alex Jones' anxiety about chemicals "turning the freakin' frogs gay" is part of The Anxiety about a world that is now made of ingredients we can't pronounce. Our world is now made of very different physical stuff than the world of our ancestors, and it makes total sense for panicky reactionaries to blame sexualities, genders, religions, and ways of existence they don't understand on the strange, unprecedented "chemicals" that have intruded into the material components of the world around them.

The material changes to our lives mesh quite nicely with the paranoia of fascism. People, without any scientific expertise that would inform them, decide that "natural" things are good and "artificial" things are bad, and this leads people to reject very simple, comprehensible, and well-understood processes like "heating something up, but not quite to boiling, and letting it cool down" (pasteurization) in favor of "contracting bovine tuberculosis."

But it's not that natural is good and artificial is bad, it's that natural is, at least in theory, understandable, and artificial is bound only to the laws that tell DuPont it must disclose what is in a product being sold and test the product for harms to human and animal life—and the power of those laws to actually control DuPont. Hemlock and nightshade can be recognized and avoided, but a Product emerges from an Amazon Prime box in a curiously sterile afterbirth of plastic and foam, stinking of acrid VOC's that some people enjoy in the form of the "new car smell."

And we know that nature has no shortage of things that kill us that we CAN'T readily detect with our senses, like lead and uranium, but before mining for coal and metals ripped open our Earth and pumped thousands upon thousands of tons of toxic waste up from its depths, any given creek or patch of dirt in Eastern Kentucky was at least less likely to be dangerously toxic and radioactive.

This definitely fuels the blind and often dangerous urge to go back to a time when things were "simpler." It lubricates the slide down into reactionary bigotry a little bit, this abundance of ways the world has gone Wrong and has been irreparably changed.

It gets harder and harder to say "No, natural is not always good/bad, no, unnatural is not always good/bad" and be listened to. Our world is far, far harder to understand now in some ways, but we have to try, and that's a hard sell.
