Be Mindful and Reduce Food Waste

Food, is the basic necessity of life, the substance we consume to provide nutritional support to our body, and which helps in growth and other functions of our body. Our food provides us with the much-needed nutrition and energy that we need to grow, focus, and function in different activities. Eating food is not only satisfying for the human body but it is also giving pleasure to our senses of…

#my art #visionary #character: yaw #colored pencil #it was created to be displayed in a student gallery. i was going to make 2 submissions but i wasted too much time so we're here now #I still get so scared and it takes me so long to PLAN when i do anything traditional that's supposed to be more “neat/polished” #I need to do more stuff and on larger canvases so i am less anxious. It became easier as i progressed so i got normal

regarding the clone vs robot poll. everyone who voted 'clone' owes identical twins $100

#its their REASONING. ​having the same DNA does not make you less of a person oh my goddddddddd #'who am i do i have a purpose separate from the original' literally yes #the answer is yes #answer me do you treat twins as pairs instead of individuals #if the reason was different then fine but so many responses were this #ur not in the movie 'the island' u are clearly living ur own life as an individual #maybe ur the result of an experiment but like. evidently after it succeeded you're getting to live as a person #like what is even the issue #its like if ur bio mother participated in clinical trials while pregnant with you. it doesnt say anything about your /purpose/ #and. so many of the other concerns with being a clone also applies to being a robot #but the robot has the addition of HOW??? #clone is WHY #robot is WHY and HOW #current technology is much closer to creating human clones than creating a robot out of human tissue in the same configuration #so the sheer contrast in resources required for an unclear goal leans towards the robot option as being fucked up #literally it is just such a waste #if i found out i was a robot id straight up be offended #and. a clone being sentient and having personhood makes sense #WHY would you make a robot sentient. on purpose #.vxt

Not mxtx critiquing how you can’t make villains 3-dimensional without people starting whole fandom wars over it because people can’t accept a villain being both terrible AND sympathetic due to their background.

And what did the fandoms surrounding her books do when she made her villains 3D?

#svsss #human reads svsss #looking at you villain stans #people who love to create fanon versions of the likes of shen jiu jc jgy qi rong #and more but those are the main ones #and they’re all terrible people #just cause they had hurts once upon a time don’t make them any less terrible #and i really do wish we didn’t have to go to war just saying that #we waste so much time arguing over the legitimacy of calling a villain a villain #when we COULD be talking about the important shit #like all the ways sqq pretends not to already be head over heels for lbh

All 8 of my current Tav's! Names and class under the cut

(Left column) top to bottom: Rosalinda (ranger), Soleil (paladin), Circe (cleric), and Amaryllis (bard)

(Right column) top to bottom: Lunaria (storm sorcerer), Aspen (draconic sorcerer), Eos (fighter), and Val (barbarian)

#alie plays bg3 #bg3 tav #my ocs #i love them all!! and yes. i might be a tad obsessed with pink/purple #but amaryllis (my gith bard on the left) is so pretty!!! she's my tav for the multiplayer run my brother and i have planned #also. yes. soleil more or less looks like the guardian i created for rosalinda #and thats because her design felt wasted after finding out who our guardian actually is. so i thought. why not recreate her as a tav

#random thoughts on a monday afternoon #I'm glad I decided I'm gonna give less of my money to the azoffs (I say less because I guess I'll still stream the music) #So I'm not stressing about spending money on vinyls or cd's (which makes me sad but a genocide makes me even sadder) #Maybe I'll get them second hand months later or something... Just like. Not create that demand. I'll see when the time comes. #And as for tour... Ooof. Same thing. I'll miss seeing him live but I just cannot in good conscience spend money that #I know a good chunk of is going to Zionists who hate Palestinians #Maaaaaaaaaaaybe if someone happens to be unable to go to a show near me and giving the ticket away #Or selling it cheaper #Idk... I'll cross that bridge when i get to it #will it make a difference? lmao. no. but it's like other things in my life... my vegan choices... my zero-waste choices... #it's individual but I feel good with my decisions I think #*shrug*

not finishing this lol. fucking hate ms paint for crashing on me. anyways. idk. great how the only art I have the energy for anymore is shitty ms paint doodles. what happened man

#actual sugar post #sugar art trash #maybe I’m degrading #bc nowadays it feels like the only things I can do are what I’m forced to do to survive #my life is so empty without creativity. but I can’t will myself to create anymore #everything is so monotonous now. I’m jealous of other people with adhd who sacrifice their well being to hyperfixate on art for hours #because all I can do is lay in bed #it’s not like I can feed myself or clean up properly either #all i can do nowadays is a bit of homework and waste away in bed #it gets worse every year. I can do less every year #what happened to me #maybe I’m degrading. I know people who are actively degrading #their doctors tell them they won’t be able to live alone when they grow up #maybe that’s me #ms paint #unfinished art #vent #idk #burnout #neurodivergent #actually neurodivergent #actually autistic #autism stuff

someday i'd like to commission art of an oc

#hvaña #my ocs come and go my attachment is considerably less bec of how i wrote in my teen years #and im kinda scared that if i create an oc they wont like. be around for long u know? like i may have interest and talk #about them but also in a few weeks or months i could completely forget about them and that #feels like both a waste of the artist's time and my money. unless its not that serious and it doesnt matter and im overthinking it #but like. idk. i currently have only one (1) major oc that i've held onto for the last several months because #unlike my usual writing there's like... not variations or on a whim there's like a Story there it's unique to my own creative landscape #if that makes any sense at all. its not gauranteed i will keep them but they have the most longevity out of all my ocs for sure #also one of these days i think ill have to change the way i make them bec both purpose and source of creativity have changed.

I bought myself a drawing tablet so prepare for terrible fanart.

#the adhd demons compel me to try new hobbies periodically #and I’ve been disappointed with drawing on my old iPad and with cheap colored pencils #and I want to try everything!! #I love the watercolor look I love pastels and impressionism-style brushstrokes #i can (try to) create those looks digitally. that seems fun in itself. #i want to try chibis first because they look less technically difficult than a more realistic style but who knows I certainly don’t #i bought the Prismacolor 132 set of colored pencils but I’ve been too scared to use them for like 15 years at this point #maybe closer to 10 years i don’t remember. they are languishing in their box I’m sorry #it was fun to sort them into a rainbow though #every time I think I want to use them it feels like a waste. i know I am Incorrect but what can I do.

#ugh i know its an inherently harmful mindset to base your arts worth on how much engagement it gets #and i HAVE been trying to take the steps to obsess over it less but its just like. its difficult not to feel like i failed to deliver #people were really interested and curious about mlad and then i started posting less so people moved on #and now it really feels like i wasted my chance #my art style itself has improved but the person and the writing behind it has decayed and people can smell it #im just frustrated with myself. if i just kept it together i couldve done some really cool stuff but im never going to have that kind of #interest in my work again #been trying to move my focus to just drawing what i want but part of my driving force to make me want to create was knowing people wanted #to see that work #im complaining in circles sorry its just something that weighs on me because i know its my fault ultimately #sometimes i do get inspiration to do something really big for mlad but im too scared of my shit flopping now #which is also just a me skill issue

life would be so much better if i wasn’t so absolutely fucking depleted and exhausted all the time lol

#or afraid of getting covid #purrs #like life is passing me by i think. i am very small and i have nothing to say. i cannot sustain all the ways im being stretched. i am #not capable of deep thoughts or lifechanging insights or rocking chair conversations or warm eyes. i will not be getting my learners permit #when i said i would because im just too fucking tired. i will proceed to spend the week sleeping until 1pm and playing video games all day a #and barely moving at all and letting life live me instead of living it myself. i just do not have any energy at all ever. i don’t even have #spoons at this point i have like.. metal scraps. CONSTANTLY. the mortifying ordeal of knowing i am wasting my life and not living to the #fullest or making a meaningful contribution to the world or creating magic and love and change in relationships with other people and the mo #mortifying ordeal of no longer having the bandwith / strength / wherewithal to care much less do anything about it 😍😍😍 #like omg. i have never gotten covid and god fucking willing i never will but the psychological damage this pandemic has had on meeeeee. the #fact that we haven’t taken like a solid week as a society to process it all. the fact that i am socially mentally emotionally stunted in #ways i will never recover from no matter how hard i try. gotta love it 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 #delete later #<- it’s not just bc of covid obviously bc everything at home and at work is in massive transition and i do not do well w instability. i #would like at least one area of my life to be stable please. i don’t think that’s such a big as #*ask lol #im just depressed bc im tired and this week has been insane and my dyshydr*sis is flaring up HORRIBLY rn but also the overwhelming excruciat #excruciating awareness that i am a nothing girl living a nothing life and i did that to myself as a survival mechanism except survijlving = #scraping myself along the ground in every fathomable area of my life. awesome

The "don't say champagne in fantasy" debate is so fucking stupid to me because? You're literally writing in English? ENGLISH. Champagne is not okay because it's a direct reference to France but fucking English, the language that descended from Germanic and proto-indo-european? Yeah that's totally fine. No anachronism here. Sure they always name it something different than English but that doesn't change the fact that writing in the language of English and using literally any word in English is basically just an anachronistic as saying champagne. Its not like saying "champagne" or "scotch" whiskey or "moonshine" makes any less sense than using an entire language that only developed because of the history of our world.

#writing #fantasy #im gonna kill someone #suspend your disbelief im begging you #your story isnt better because you wasted more time worldbuilding #its much less immersive to create wacky in universe equivalents to rela world things #oh so theyre all speaking 21st century american english but they cant say champagne?

[reasonsforhope]

It’s an open secret in fashion. Unsold inventory goes to the incinerator; excess handbags are slashed so they can’t be resold; perfectly usable products are sent to the landfill to avoid discounts and flash sales. The European Union wants to put an end to these unsustainable practices. On Monday, [December 4, 2023], it banned the destruction of unsold textiles and footwear.

“It is time to end the model of ‘take, make, dispose’ that is so harmful to our planet, our health and our economy,” MEP Alessandra Moretti said in a statement. “Banning the destruction of unsold textiles and footwear will contribute to a shift in the way fast fashion manufacturers produce their goods.”

This comes as part of a broader push to tighten sustainable fashion legislation, with new policies around ecodesign, greenwashing and textile waste phasing in over the next few years. The ban on destroying unsold goods will be among the longer lead times: large businesses have two years to comply, and SMEs have been granted up to six years. It’s not yet clear on whether the ban applies to companies headquartered in the EU, or any that operate there, as well as how this ban might impact regions outside of Europe.

For many, this is a welcome decision that indirectly tackles the controversial topics of overproduction and degrowth. Policymakers may not be directly telling brands to produce less, or placing limits on how many units they can make each year, but they are penalising those overproducing, which is a step in the right direction, says Eco-Age sustainability consultant Philippa Grogan. “This has been a dirty secret of the fashion industry for so long. The ban won’t end overproduction on its own, but hopefully it will compel brands to be better organised, more responsible and less greedy.”

Clarifications to come

There are some kinks to iron out, says Scott Lipinski, CEO of Fashion Council Germany and the European Fashion Alliance (EFA). The EFA is calling on the EU to clarify what it means by both “unsold goods” and “destruction”. Unsold goods, to the EFA, mean they are fit for consumption or sale (excluding counterfeits, samples or prototypes)...

The question of what happens to these unsold goods if they are not destroyed is yet to be answered. “Will they be shipped around the world? Will they be reused as deadstock or shredded and downcycled? Will outlet stores have an abundance of stock to sell?” asks Grogan.

Large companies will also have to disclose how many unsold consumer products they discard each year and why, a rule the EU is hoping will curb overproduction and destruction...

Could this shift supply chains?

For Dio Kurazawa, founder of sustainable fashion consultancy The Bear Scouts, this is an opportunity for brands to increase supply chain agility and wean themselves off the wholesale model so many rely on. “This is the time to get behind innovations like pre-order and on-demand manufacturing,” he says. “It’s a chance for brands to play with AI to understand the future of forecasting. Technology can help brands be more intentional with what they make, so they have less unsold goods in the first place.”

Grogan is equally optimistic about what this could mean for sustainable fashion in general. “It’s great to see that this is more ambitious than the EU’s original proposal and that it specifically calls out textiles. It demonstrates a willingness from policymakers to create a more robust system,” she says. “Banning the destruction of unsold goods might make brands rethink their production models and possibly better forecast their collections.”

One of the outstanding questions is over enforcement. Time and again, brands have used the lack of supply chain transparency in fashion as an excuse for bad behaviour. Part of the challenge with the EU’s new ban will be proving that brands are destroying unsold goods, not to mention how they’re doing it and to what extent, says Kurazawa. “Someone obviously knows what is happening and where, but will the EU?”"
