A Town of rain long shoes: What is water? (5) (5/6)

↑Graduation certificate To car driver's license

85.04.27 (Saturday)

Never again, in front of me

Your vow not to show up

I admit

　　　Rei Morishita

(6 episodes in all, I will post an article I wrote in a minicomi magazine from 1984 to 1985. It's old, but I still admit that it has a certain value. My writing is an article about training: Episode 5. This blog is annoying to people who need a car in their daily lives, so please forgive me.)

‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥

Cars are interesting, aren't they? Is it walking if you compare it to a living thing? Or is it running? ――― I think I'm walking. The reason is that "running" means "the moment when both feet are raised in the air", but the car just puts four feet on the ground. Close to walking. Yeah, rather, it's more accurate to say "he is creeping " A car that turns around. A well-paved road is essential for him. A uniform road that has been smoothed out.

Furthermore, pipes are laid inside the car and inside him. It's the same with the human body, but in his case, blood doesn't ooze into the cells. Ｇａｓｏｌｉｎｅ never goes out of the pipe.

By the way, water and automobiles have something in common. Imagine a European town surrounded by stones and bricks. When garbage or sewage comes out, if you throw it through the window, it will naturally fall on the stone road and rot (unlike the soil road) and give off a foul odor, so it is irresistible. Therefore, it is carried along the pipe to the downstream part of the nearby river (as seen from the town) and discharged. This is the beginning of today's sewerage technology. ――― Pavement and pipes! This is what water and automobiles have in common.

Here is another example. Why is nitric acid contamination so much in the spring water of Nukui Benten(the goddess of water and music), Koganei City that I drink? (See the first episode)――― Previously, the people who had been expelled from Setagaya Ward due to the construction work of Kannana-Dori Avenue had been excluded from the designation of the scenic area (just then), the “Kokubunji Cliff Line” (created by the Tama River). It is said that rhey moved to the top of the terrace and threw various filth into wells. Moreover, as the pavement progresses, rainwater cannot penetrate underground, reducing the amount of spring water. "Shimobenten", which is located downstream of Nukui Benten, used to have spring water, but now it has only a dent. Poor Benzaiten somehow. In addition, huge sewer pipes are buried underground, which can cut off groundwater veins. (This is not limited to Nukui.)

Blessing of heaven --- rainwater. Today's cities seem to have a period that hates this grace. Let's wash away the rain as soon as possible! With this, there is no room for a puddle. Even if it rains, there is no water --- there will be a "dam". In the sense of "no water", it is exactly the same as the desert. "Tokyo Desert". (Hiroshi Uchiyamada and Cool Five) What an arrogant thing.

Effective use of rainwater is considered as one of the "water saving" measures. For example, when building a new elementary school, the idea is to create a rainwater storage tank underground and store it for a "flush toilet." Of course, it's a step forward. However, "flush toilet" is a very imaginative technology in terms of dealing with sewage, and I hate it. (For this, please refer to the 4th series "Water and Soil".) --- I don't think there is any fundamental change in the physiology of cities.

Finite Ecology　(有限の生態学)

Mr. Yasushi Kurihara (Ecology), an assistant professor at Tohoku University, has an interesting book. "Finite Ecology" (Iwanami Shinsho). In the latter half of this book, there is a story about whether humans and chlorella can exchange what they need and what they don't need in a spaceship using pipes. Oxygen required by humans is not required by chlorella, and nutrients and carbon dioxide required by chlorella are waste products for humans. (Nutrition is stool.) Will it work? His conclusion is that such ecosystems will sooner or later collapse. He says, "There is no" pavement and pipe "in the natural world." (*) --- I agree.

When thinking this way, the current destinations of waterworks, sewerage, and the automobile society are also visible.

(*) This statement seems to have been in a newspaper interview rather than in "finite ecology." In addition, animals have blood vessels, plants have conduits and  tubes, and it can be said that there are pipes in nature. However, there is "bleeding".

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Before, when it rained, the road became muddy. I miss long shoes. I think the pavement that is convenient for cars is very difficult for us to walk. (In my poor experience.) Moreover, it would be a problem for both water and soil. No one is so crazy as to sow seeds on the pavement. (It would be great if you could. I would love to meet you.)

Recently, I started to grow a field in the front yard of the old project G (Kokubunnji city). Bring the waste vegetables from "Greengrocer P" and use them as compost. Also, store rainwater in a bucket and water the vegetables when it doesn't rain. At this time, I don't want to use tap water as it is. This is because the current tap water, which is harmful to humans, is naturally harmful to plants. (However, domestic wastewater can be stored for a while, stabilized, and then used as a slow-acting fertilizer.) Water should not be excluded. Do not eliminate the soil. "Doronko" --- I think this is important. Oh, I miss long shoes!

When thinking this way, the fun ideas are endless. "Yeah, can this garden itself be a greengrocer?" --- A greengrocer without a store. A greengrocer that doesn't even need a rear car. Of course, "self-utilization" is the basis, and the surplus vegetables can be sold or divided. "Consumer" is a dead language!

It will be possible to cultivate the town. If the shops on one street agree, why not turn over the concrete pavement in that area? If it rains Grass will grow too. Is the road pavement rate 100%? Is the penetration rate of water and sewage 100%? ――― I don't feel proud of anything. Rather, it's sad.

 Finally. What can concrete and gasoline be made from? ――― Oil (using itself and it for energy). By the way, why are mineral resources such as petroleum deep underground? Because it's unnecessary. However, I feel good and am happy to dig it out. I think this is the current oil civilization. Concrete is by no means natural. I think it's artificial. We humans do not have to rely on what we say we don't need nature, and if we do, we will be naturally abandoned and destroyed. Those who love concrete die in the wild on concrete.

(Supplement: "Shale gas" and "shale oil", which USA is currently working on, are just bad luck to survive the oil civilization.)

Decided to be a wimp for once and asked someone else (my dad) to kill the mega spider that got in the house and I only feel minorly guilty about it.

Danny Phantom doesn’t want to be king.

And the Observants also don’t want him to be king.

Frankly, very VERY few people want him to be king, dead or alive.

But opening the sarcophagus, even if it’s closed NOW, disrupted some magic protections. Until those can be fixed, summoning spells need to be answered by SOMEONE. Not all of summons, just like—once a month or so. Because if they don’t let that power outlet happen, all of those summon magics build up and suddenly Pariah Dark reigns again. Answering the summon basically dispels the built up magic, like opening a dam.

Again, Danny doesn’t WANT to do this either, but everyone else involved is a bad choice. He won’t even be named prince, because THEN that implies he COULD be king. He needs a title, of some kind, a position in the court, no matter how tenuous, so he can do the thing. Something where no one in their right or even WRONG mind would think to try to kill him for the position or try to marry him or something equally annoying to deal with.

So.

He becomes the Ghost Court Jester.

He even gets a fancy little outfit upgrade when he’s summoned, all black and white bell hats and shoes, a stupid little ruffle collar and black parachute pants, even face paint with a tiny dot of glowing neon green at the tip of his nose. The works. Better yet, if he hasn’t been ‘unsummoned’, his human form is just the exact same costume with swapped colors. He can change into his normal outfits, but until that circle has been disrupted, the next summon, or the next full or new moon, he’s stuck into the outfit when he first transforms from either form.

The Phantom Jester, which is a title more intimidating than Danny appears to be if we are to be honest, cracks jokes and never, EVER takes the summons seriously.

“Listen, I just had to get my hours in and it’s the last day of the lunar month, you got lucky I came at all.”

“I got the position by virtue of not wanting to go to Time Jail for a crime I technically didn’t commit and technically probably won’t but, well, eyes are the beholder of the grudge or something else equally cryptic to make you mad.”

“Is this a slumber party? … do you have cake? Bummer. Well, enjoy the bleeding walls then.”

“Whether I help you or not is entirely dependent on how well of a run down you can give me on this book I have to read that I have not at all touched.”

“Explain the reason in three sentences or less. I suggest less. And if it’s stupid I’m hitting you—oh you think this circle can contain me? Haha. It won’t.”

“Is that chicken blood? Why?? What did the chickens do to you?”

There are props in his costume but he literally never knows what he’s gonna pull out of his sleeves. Danny can’t even do a balloon animal and knows exactly zero card tricks, which would be more of an issue if the cards weren’t the size of a dinner plate. He barely even juggles and he’s honestly probably just utilizing his rarely-used telekinetic powers, but he does give people flowers if they haven’t been a total jerk. And if those flowers are like, rare and have seeds for propagation, well… he literally wouldn’t know. No, really, he doesn’t. He gets summoned by at least two ecology departments and he has no idea why, I mean, if he had a nickel—

He also had pies and is NOT afraid to use them.

#danny phantom #danny phantom headcanon #I usually do crossover stuff these days #but I deliberately left it out so anyone could chose to do so or not #that said…. could you imagine #there’s so many fandoms where this would just be really fucking funny #rare spell ingredients? super serious situation? life and death in the BALANCE? #and here’s a sassy teenager who isn’t even getting paid for this #you summoned him and now he’s YOUR problem #fair warning he bites #someone calls him a mime and he almost decks them #Mimes and clowns are noble pursuits! #this is like. pun-ishment of some kind

This weeks harajuku fashion style is Mori kei!!!

History of mori kei:

Mori girl was founded by a woman named choco on mixi (japanese facebook) in 2006 but this particular style has existed even before its recognision, choco just gave that style a name. Mori stands for forest in japanese and it translates to forest girl. There were several rules created for mori girl, which even the ogs of that style didnt follow completly. In 2012 mori girl was renamed to be mori kei to be more inclusive of its sub-styles

Rise to popularity

After the mori girl mixi group was created, many people started to participate in that style and street photographers began to feature them more often in their magazines. There were also several magazines and issues completly dedicated to mori kei such as: spoon, mori girl lesson and fudge. There was also music created that was inspired by the mori girl style and an anime named honey and clover which features the main character wearing this style.

In 2013-2014 most mori style stores have shutdown because of its decrease in popularity over the years and popular mori kei personalities have deactivated their blogs. Mori kei is still alive but its not as popular as it was before.

Brands

Mori kei never seriously relied on brand clothing, but there are still some brands that make/made mori kei styled clothing and this includes:

•Wonder rocket-was the most recognisible Mori brand and opened in 2007 and shutdown after ten years.

•DearLi- a chinese company that has been and is known for its past mori fashion lines

•Q-pot accessoires

•Earth,music & ecology

•Birkenstock

and many more which you can find on:

The-ther (they/them parent) hear me out, when the kids are a little older grade school maybe bug is starting middle school the 141 couples go on a long weekend type getaway and leave all the kids (except maybe babies I guess) with Price and Duck for a type of summer camp/sleepover with the grandparents only to come back three days later to them both fighting for their lives. Something is on fire, someones on a donkey and someone else is hugging a possum while everyone sings nursery rhymes.

OK Here is the definitive "baby pecking order" or "How to survive the cow-babies"

Bug is the oldest, defacto-leader, beloved by all babies. Not who you want to align yourself with, their only priority is keeping their sister safe from the chaos.

Frog is the second oldest and you do want to get her on your side immediately. The actual leader through sheer bossiness, she'll go to bat for you.

Bibi and Soap's oldest daughter are fighting already. Do not attempt to pull them apart unless you want to get bit.

Someone lit a hay-bale on fire.

You grab Soap's oldest boy and ask him to play detective with you. This works because he has a special interest in forensics. He spends the whole time explaining how to judge time of death while you look for his younger brother.

Bug has extinguished the fire. Frog has pulled apart Bibi and the Soap girl.

Jackie is holding Bug's sister's hand and babbling about ballet. You don't know where she came from, she is not wearing shoes.

Bibi and Soap's daughter have captured a opossum. You cannot deal with that right now.

Soap's twins are eating grass... That's probably fine.

Your co-detective admits to accidentally setting the fire because he was using his magnifying glass too close to the hay. You forgive him because he seems genuinely upset.

Soap's younger boy shows up covered in mud with the biggest bullfrog you've ever seen between his hands. He eagerly explains to you that this species is actually invasive to the area and treats you to a lecture on local ecology.

It's been an hour.

#ghoul speaks #cowboy au #baby ocs #idk what to tag this as but babysitting the lot of them would be a nightmare #I don't even know what would happen through Konig's kids in the mix #Price and Duck can handle them well enough #They just start assigning jobs #kids love having jobs #ghoul babies

[headspace-hotel]

Since there's been discussion and concern about ticks on some of my ecology posts, here's my quick and dirty Informative Post about ticks. Please note that this doesn't get into "what to do if a tick bites you" which is already widely covered by reputable online sources that know more than me. Anyway:

Ticks can give you loads of diseases besides just Lyme disease. Don't mess around with them, basically.

Some people think "a short lawn will keep away ticks." This is FALSE—you can still get ticks from short grass and you still need to be aware of them in a mowed lawn

Some areas have way more ticks than others and this can be very localized (they tend to like valleys and wet areas, and need a supply of hosts)

More wildlife doesn't mean more ticks necessarily, a wide variety of wild animals also eat ticks

the thing about opossums eating lots of ticks is actually a myth that got started by one badly designed study, though. Don't worry opossums, we still love you

Ticks do not "jump" onto you and they do not descend down on you from trees. They hide in grass, bushes and other low-to-the-ground foliage and wait for warm-blooded creatures to brush against the foliage. You get ticks by brushing against weeds and undergrowth. This means that a scrubby, overgrown field poses significantly more risk than a mature forest that's relatively clear of undergrowth (in general). If a tick gets on your head, it usually crawled all the way up there

Yes, ticks usually don't immediately bite you when they get on you, instead they will crawl for a long time trying to find a good place to bite. This means if you check regularly you can often get them before they bite you.

Check yourself for ticks when you come inside from being outdoors. They like to bite in sheltered places, so that means hair, armpits and nether regions in particular. A mirror helps but also use touch, if you feel a weird bump that's like a pimple or a scab, that may actually be a tick. It's not weird to ask "hey is this a tick?" if you feel something on the back of your head

however it's a good idea to check regularly when you're outside too. If you brush up against bushes, just give yourself a quick once-over to see if you have picked up anything. I do this habitually all the time. If you feel a Weird Itch do not ignore it

Wear long pants and socks if you're going to be wading through weeds and brush. Light colors if possible, so you can see them if they're crawling on your clothes. Time to invest in breathable fabrics!

Minimize the amount of wading through weeds and brush you do though, especially around wet areas. try to big step through it instead of just cutting/crashing through it

You can also get ticks if you have pets that go outside, bring one in, finish feeding and then fall off onto your furniture or something. Ticks can also stick around in your laundry or on your shoes (I found one on the outside of my shoe just a couple days ago).

bug spray is a good idea, use it

Dry ice attracts ticks, bc it's pure carbon dioxide which is what ticks use to find hosts. You can make traps for ticks using dry ice. Dry ice on a camping trip=bad idea.

I will add more stuff if I think of it but this is what I have right now

[acesolaris]

A basic point of Solarpunk is it's focus on local communities. So, get to know your communities!

Local Politics

How does your local Govenment work? Who are the people involved in it?

What is the main political climate and view in your area?

What are the most active community organisations?

What are Grasrootmovements in your areas?

Are there known leftist organisations or communities?

Local Infrastrucure

Libraries and Archives

independent buisnesses like bakerys, bookstores etc

central community centres

Thrift stores

Nature preservation centres or organisations

Food kitchens

package-free and bulk stores

Local Newspapers

Bus lines and scedules

Bike repair shops

Queer Bars and Centres

Tailors and shoe repair shops

abandoned or empty buildings/ properites

Local History

How did people live in your area 50 Years ago? 100? 200? 500? What are their trades, culture, how did they get their food?

What is the geological and ecological history of your area? The quality of the soil? The availability of water? Local Plants?

What are some major historical events your area went through? How did they shape the peoples point of view?

What are the oldest buildings in Town? Research the architecture and building materials, as they commonly are localy sourced and help with sustainable building in your area!

These are just some ideas so please feel free to add!

˖ ࣪ ꒷ meeting in ten minutes ៹ satoru gojo x reader

You were sitting on the couch, playing on your cell phone while watching some boring series that you put on TV just so you wouldn't feel lonely in your apartment. Suddenly, an ecological knock, making your attention shift from your cell phone to the door. You stand up, thinking about who could be behind the door, a delivery man? Any blessed friend who decided to order you something to eat? No... you didn't talk to anyone today out of pure laziness on your part. When you open the door, you come across Satoru Gojo, a long-time friend of yours, you are always going out together, but you never admitted that it was a date. You kissed a few times when you were under the influence of alcohol, but neither of you had the courage to talk about it the next day.

"Gojo? You didn't even text me that you were coming." You say, noticing his outfit, he looked so... chic? You've never seen him dressed up to the point where he left the house with wet hair.

"I came to surprise you! A fancy restaurant awaits us. You have ten minutes to look stunning for me" Gojo explains, entering his house and throwing himself on the couch. You frown at Gojo's hasty invitation.

"Are you kidding me? Ten minutes? What kind of invitation is that? Do you really think you're going to rush to get me ready in ten minutes for you? You idiot!" You say as you lock the door to your house and stand in front of Gojo, who was sitting on the couch, watching you.

"I'm sorry for underestimating the preparation time of the most amazing person I know. Now, go get ready, princess. I want everyone to know that you're by my side tonight."

You wanted to pull Gojo's hair and curse him for being an idiot, did he really think it was possible for you to get ready in ten minutes? Like... you had to choose what hairstyle to wear, your makeup, your shoes and most importantly, your clothes.

"I'm serious, Gojo. I don't even have clothes ready for this. Most of them are being washed! If you want to go out with me so much, at least let me know in advance next time." You explain, crossing your arms, irritated.

Gojo sighs deeply, getting up from the couch and walking past you to head towards his room.

"Hey! Where are you going?" You go after the man when you see Gojo invade your room and start rummaging through your closet.

"Don't worry, princess, I'll find something amazing for you to wear. I have a knack for picking out clothes, you know... Trust me." Okay, you will definitely kill Satoru Gojo at one point or another.

"Since when did I give you permission to go through my closet?" You ask, crossing your arms, stepping in front of him.

"I am here trying to help you and you are hindering me... why am I instead of you hurting my feelings, won't you prepare yourself?" Gojo jokes, pulling you away from the closet, leaving you to look for some clothes.

"Do you think I can get ready in ten minutes? Do you have any idea of time, Satoru Gojo?" You ask irritably as you look for your makeup bag.

"Actually, it's now seven minutes." Gojo's laugh phrase comes out as he says this, you roll your eyes, putting on makeup. "Here, I found something good." He says playing, throwing a black dress on your bed so you could see.

"That dress is short Gojo." You comment as you do a quick liner on your eye.

“So I nailed it.” He says, his arrogant smile forming on his face. "Well, shoes you can just wear this heel here." Gojo throws a pair of black shoes. It was in the back of your closet precisely because you hated using it, plus you felt like it could fall at any moment, your foot starts to do so. "Not these." You say, finishing the basic makeup you did just to hide your dark circles and lift your eyes.

"My princess, we don't have much time now, you will have to go with them." Gojo explains as he throws the dress at you, earning a disapproving look in return.

"I hate it when you do that." You say irritably, going into the bathroom to get dressed as quickly as you can and putting on your heels with some difficulty.

When you leave the bathroom, you find Gojo messing around with one of your corsets, which was in your closet drawer. "How does it work?" Gojo asks, turning the corset over in his hand, to understand what it was.

"It's to show your waist." You explain as you comb your hair, trying to make it look neat. As you apply some cream just to make it easier to comb, you feel Gojo's hand around your waist.

"May I?" He asks, smiling.

"On you? I think so, if you want." You ask as you go back to combing your hair, earning a laugh from the boy.

"No fuck, put it on you." He says, hugging your waist from behind, kissing your neck.

"You can try." You hoped he wouldn't understand how it works and would give up right away, since you don't even know how to put it. Gojo wrapped the corset around your waist, fiddling with the ribbons to try and adjust it to your body, you couldn't understand how he managed to learn so quickly.

"And now?" He asks as he puts the loose ribbons back into place.

"You pull both ribbons." You explain as you apply perfume to your body. Gojo smiles, pulling both sides of the ribbon, causing his waist to tighten and a slightly uncomfortable pain to appear in his body. You didn't want to ruin the moment, Gojo seemed so happy to make the corset work and his waist appear like magic, that you ignored the shortness of breath and pain to make him happy.

"You look so beautiful..." Gojo murmurs, running his hand around your waist, which was covered by the corset.

You should definitely use this more often.

A shoe rack of only white sneakers and beige shoes: this is Bad. There is no diversity. The ecosystem is unhealthy, there are not enough genotypes or phenotypes for a healthy population. Don’t do this:(

A show rack with a variety of colors and shapes of shoe: this is Good! Plenty of genetic and ecological diversity! The population is healthy and will not become a monolithic species! Do this:)

---

You feel the hairs on the back of your neck stand up when you walk down the steps of the cargo ship. You feel the start of a migraine when the mask tightens around your head. The only barrier between life and death at the hands of asphyxia. You shudder at the thought and take in the base, concrete buildings along with bulldozers, and in the distance, the lush greenery of a forest makes you all the more homesick. But you grin and bear it, your Mother's words echoing through you, "Live your life, I'll be fine. It's not like there's much for me to do here anyway."

The memory was bittersweet, having been right after her diagnosis. You shook your head, shoving it away, you promised you wouldn't cry. Just yet.

A woman interrupted you briefly introducing herself and guided you inside. You quickly followed, the sound of air escaping as the doors closed behind you.

"So Miss, Augustine, how do you feel?"

The blonde woman, whose name you had briefly forgotten asked. You felt a flush creep up my cheeks, "Um, well, it's a lot different than back home. But I should be fine!" I fumbled over my words fiddling with the strap of my backpack.

"Good, well I'll leave you to it, remember, dinners at 1900 hours!" she said leaving briskly, the sound of her shoes echoing against the linoleum floors.

You glance at the small room that greeted you. Nothing but a small grey cot and matching desk cramped into the small room. Your bag hits the bed with a thud, "Whelp, time to regret my life choices for the next ten hours," you sigh.

"Are you insane?!? Have you lost it?!? She's nothing but a child!" a male voice shouted from behind the office door.

You flinched, and he sounded pissed. You sucked in a deep breath knocking on the door.

"We have had this discussion several times might I remind you, Doctor Moran. And we will not have it again. You know why she is here, are we clear?"

"You've gone mad!"

You flinched again as the door flew open and a man with a mess of gray hair regarded you with a look of pure disdain. He then stormed past you nearly knocking you down.

"Miss Augustine, it's nice to see you. Please, come in," the general greeted.

She shuffled some papers off her desk and into a drawer. Giving you a tight-lipped smile she gestured for you to take a seat. You tentatively sat down in the brown leather swivel chair, the only thing of color in the small gray room you noted.

Your hands clenched the arms of the chair, bracing yourself for the words about to leave her mouth.

"Now I see here that you have all of the required degrees and specifications for the job I've offered you," she paused to pull a paper off of her desk.

"Graduated Harvard summa cum laude, in undergrad. Top of your class in grad school, and completed your Ph.D. thesis on Pandoran ecology to earn your doctorate degree all at or before the age of fifteen. Quite an impressive resume, if I say so myself."

You frown, eyes finding the floor a much more interesting subject than your many degrees and accomplishments.

General Ardmore gives you another tight-lipped smile before she pulls a pen out and hands it out to you. She then pushes a paper towards you, "Now let's cut to the chase, shall we?"

You sigh and nod your head in affirmation, hand shaking, pen tip hovering on the stark white paper.

"You sign this and your Mother's cured. Well as long as you hold up your end of the deal, Miss Augustine," she gives yet another smile, but you can see that it doesn't quite reach her eyes.

You quickly sign, biting your lip to hold back the tears you can feel burning to be let go.

"Yes, understood ma'am."

"Good! Now that that's been taken care of, let's get you ready to ship out!"

She spins her chair around to stand, her shoes echoing through the hall as you stand to follow.

You glance wearily at the helicopter before someone tosses your bag into a seat, you glance over at a woman with sunglasses gives you a curt smile through her mask, and walks to the pilot seat. You carefully sit down next to your bag and strap the seatbelt as tight as you can, also seatbelting your bag. Just so that it won't fall out, you think to yourself as you hear the chopper blades start whirring defeating you.

You feel a tap on your shoulder as the General gives you a thumbs up, a bit of warning in her eyes. You nod soundlessly as you take off, gasping at the feeling.

---

Your feet touch solid ground after what feels like forever and you carefully undo your and your bag's seatbelts. You clutch your bag tightly to your chest, scared you'll lose it. A man greets you and shakes your hand, "Dr. Spellman! It's a pleasure to meet you!"

You return the handshake and nod, too nervous to speak.

You follow him into the facility and the familiar whoosh of air signals the doors closing behind you. You quickly take off your mask and take a deep breath.

"So, how was your, um, trip?" Dr. Spellman asks, wringing his hands as he guides you to your room.

"It was, uneventful," you reply setting your bag down in a similarly grey room, desk, bed, and all.

"Well, that's good," he replies.

You glance up at him, he seems, nervous. Or scared, maybe a mix of both. You knew things had changed since your Aunt Grace left for Pandora, mostly for the worst. You were surprised they had even let you come, well not to the base, but to the old facility. You had figured they would refuse, but with the omission of your role with the military, they reluctantly agreed.

"You seem, nervous," Dr. Spellman sputtered in the middle of his explanation, denying your accusation, but his face flushed a deep red.

"Well, yes, just a bit," he paused eyes widening as he quickly shut a door, whisper shouting at something you couldn't see.

A flurry of hushed voices in a language you somewhat recognized followed. You frowned turning to Spellman opening your mouth before the opened interrupting you mid-sentence.

You gasped as a group of, Na'vi and one human pushed open the door. The human looked to be around your age, long messy blonde hair obscured his face and blue markings covered his body. You flinched as their confused looks turned to hisses of defense, which caused you to stumble back and trip over a small box.

Closing your eyes, you braced yourself for impact, only to feel a warm hand enclosed around your arm. You blinked slowly and looked on to see a deep blue hand enclosed around yours keeping you from falling face-first onto the floor. Heat crept up your face as the hand dropped your arm as if it were on fire.

"Okay, everybody," Dr. Spellman interrupted, "Please calm down, I will explain in two seconds!"

He sighed exasperatedly, pointing to you, "This is Dr. Augustine, Dr. Grace Augustine's niece."

"And they are Neteyam, Lo'ak, Kiri, Tuktirey, and Miles," he paused looking towards them warily.

They returned the wariness.

"Your my mother's niece?" the older girl interrupted.

You give her a nervous smile, feeling an anxiety attack coming on, "Yes, I'm y/n Augustine. My mom is your mother's sister, Selene Augustine."

You can feel your throat tightening and vision blurring as the girl, Kiri you believe? Questions you excitedly. You feel a warm hand on your shoulder, and that's when the world goes black.

hey. hey. i cannot make any inroads on your ethics but hey. hey listen. if you nod along with posts like this one

look into how this stuff is processed sometime 👍

i mean, full disclosure: i do genuinely think “i love animal products ❤️ they’re biodegradable” is kind of antivegan cope because, you know, no one ever seems to be talking about natural plant fibers versus synthetics in these contexts— despite the fact that, on average, they comprise significantly more of your wardrobe and significantly more of your short-term, short-life garments— but also, and more importantly: i do not know what kind of beautiful little production chain is being imagined here, but the idea that you go from sheep or cow or so on to your wardrobe to the compost heap to fresh soil in 5-15 years, zero environmental impact, is really out of touch with most factors of consumption. leather for example can be biodegradable, but a lot of processed leather takes significantly longer to decompose— not as long as pvc, but longer than you use it for— due to the nature of its treatment. if you buy leather goods you are virtually never buying untreated leather; tanning is a chemical process with pretty significant environmental consequences. if you are getting for example a wool coat, the odds that you can afford a 100% wool coat as opposed to a wool-synthetic blend are pretty low; same with sweaters. so maybe you thrift a leather jacket or a vintage 100% wool sweater and get some use out of it. you buy a pair of leather shoes and feel good about it. hey, their treatment and soles probably biodegrade too right? and without any lasting impacts on the environment? and maybe you overcorrect for “vegan item!!” fast fashion greenwashing and end up with items which are pretty much exactly as non-biodegradable as their plastic equivalents, and exactly as short-lived because the quality of low-budget manufacturing these days seems to be constantly getting worse.

i don’t mean to scaremonger or whatever— there really isn’t much of a way out of this unless you have some serious cash to spend. but the idea of a totemic Ecologically Good category of material is obviously out of touch with how most people in the world get their clothes and loudly praising a product which is not actually in practice guaranteed to be better than its plastic substitute is oddly common on this website. cmon there isn’t even a character limit. there’s space to actually say something useful

#i think there are a lot of posts on here that are like #finally! i can think [categorical thing]! it is an unalloyed good! #and it is like oh god but the subcategories
