Opinions like this are fucking laughable when you consider that the show has been objectively political almost since it's inception.

The Third Doctor went on random anti-capitalist or pro-envionmentalist rants sometimes.

These a First Doctor story about how indigenous people weren't the evil savages the west had made them out to be and had outright anti-facist subtext and frankly out right text.

It's not even the first time Doctor Who has directly mocked a Republican President, the Doctor talked shit about Nixon to his face not even a decade before this.

i love how zero waste people are arguing that veganism isnt accessible. as if being zero waste is. not saying you shouldnt be zero waste if you can i wish i could but my disabled poor ass could never.

Yeah, my also disabled poor ass could never be zero waste either (I try my best but still..) Its something that we should all be trying our best to do, but its something not at all comparable to the moral obligation that everyone has (if they claim to have any concern for non-human animals) to go vegan. 

One is an issue of violent injustice, its a social justice issue and its something that everyone with moral agency can and should do. The other (being zero waste) is not something that everyone with moral agency can do, and it's not an ethical/social justice issue of choosing to literally pay for other sentient beings to be brutally exploited, abused/tortured and murdered for your own personal pleasure, convenience etc. It's a great thing to do if you can (though of course eating a plant-based diet has a far greater impact in terms of being eco friendly even putting aside the ethics which is, of course, the most important thing here) But unlike veganism, it's not a moral obligation. Being zero waste is something you should do on top of being vegan if you can do it.

♡: Accidentally falling asleep together for Maul and Obi-Wan?

@doorsclosingslowly, @saintlaurscream

Negotiations were tricky.

Despite that, Obi-Wan had been– bending the facts considerably when he had said they were potentially dangerous; there had been threats made on both government and company leaders, but those threats had been almost entirely posturing and most of them were nonviolent to begin with.  He had also been bending the facts considerably when he said that the relatively low-tech world might have dangerous animals and inhome sensors weren’t commonplace.  There were dangerous animals, but they largely avoided the imported population of a mish-mash of species.

Mostly, he had counted on the fact that the Council had a great deal on their collective plates right now and that this had become commonplace enough to be unremarkable.  He barely had to present an argument to get Maul out of the Temple this time, though Anakin had been less than pleased, both for Obi-Wan’s company and for the fact that Anakin had classes to finish and had to stay behind.  Obi-Wan had actually enjoyed his archive-keeping classes – some of the last classes he had needed to qualifiy for knighthood – but to Anakin, it likely seemed quite slow and dull.

Obi-Wan, however, had found a whole new appreciation for slow and dull.

Now, he sat on the couch with his socked feet up on the tea table, the fire in the fireplace warming the soles of them, and worked on how to negotiate an agreement between business and government as to the welfare of this colony world.

It was a beautiful place.  He could understand the desire to defend its natural beauty, and he could likewise understand the necessity of having a healthy, growing economy.  It was a fine line to walk; it was no wonder they wanted a Jedi to help hash it all out.

Maul didn’t care much for negotiations, treaties or otherwise, but he obligingly listened to Obi-Wan reading off relevant passages to the different proposals and occasionally gave a considered response that was almost on the whole pragmatic.  Obi-Wan secretly thought Maul was as taken by the place as he was himself; most of those suggestions sided with the envionmentalists.

Their days were full, but not rushed; meetings didn’t start until late morning and ended only four or five hours later, in large part to keep tempers in check and minds fresh.  Within a week, Obi-Wan and Maul had settled into a comfortable routine; within two, this cabin built into rimrock and forest had become very home-like, at least to Obi-Wan.  They had to walk down a well-worn path to get to the speeder, had to drive a half-hour to get to the conference center, and there were no easy amenities in reach like there was on Coruscant, but the peace and solitude more than made up for it.

When they weren’t negotiating (and body-guarding from supposed threats and dangerous animals), there were open-air markets selling autumn produce, game trails to wander and explore and a porch out front to sit on, before the sharp chill of evening made the thought of a fireplace sound good.

“This one proposes a fund based on business tax to provide environmental restoration post-mining,” he said, skimming over the information on the datapad.  Some of the businesses here were local, but some were interstellar and Obi-Wan often found that those from farther away were less apt to protect the people and the world itself.  "Not an altogether bad idea, but given what the scientists say, the loss of bio-diversity in proposals like this often make them more lip-service than useful.  And I think even then, the costs wouldn’t cover it.  Should I bother with a recommendation for a counter-proposal?“

Maul didn’t answer him; when Obi-Wan looked over to find out why, Maul was asleep with his head back against the couch, arms still crossed.  He had gone out wandering earlier and came back with evergreen needles in his jacket and scrapes on his palms, apparently having been climbing trees, and then he seemed utterly bemused when Obi-Wan had laughed about it, and Obi-Wan didn’t quite know how to explain why he thought that was wonderful.

"If that’s not a back and neck ache in the making,” Obi-Wan said now, quietly, more to himself than to his sleeping companion.  To say he found it endearing would have been highly understating the situation.

Beyond the peacefulness of it was the effort it had taken to get here; it was overcoming instinct and past torments and plain unfamiliarity to reach this place.

He smiled and shook his head to himself, got up and retrieved a pillow from the bedroom, came back out, sat down with the pillow against his leg, and reached over to give Maul a tug.  For all of the difficulty Obi-Wan had encountered with navigating those horns in order to get physically close to Maul – he was still trying to work out how to properly hold the zabrak in bed without layers of cloth, bruises or dents left in his flesh – this one was a fairly easy one.

Maul roused enough to peer at him drowsily through his lashes – (one of two indicators of the human half of his genetic code Obi-Wan had found; the other one was the soft trail of vellus hair from the nape of his neck that went all the way down the line of his spine, matching the color of skin and markings, which fascinated Obi-Wan to no end much to Maul’s continued bafflement) – with a look that could have likely quickly turned to irritation, until Obi-Wan gave him another tug and he apparently figured out what he was being asked for and just curled up there as requested.

Obi-Wan draped one arm over him and turned back to his reading with the other, content with the weight of Maul’s head against his thigh, the quiet pop and crackle of the fire in the fireplace, the kindness of it all.  He didn’t really get much more reading done, despite his efforts; it was easy to get lost in the moment there, to appreciate it for what it was.

He was still happy when he woke up the next morning, with his datapad on the floor, his neck stiff, his knees sore and his feet cold, too.

Confessions of an Amateur Environmentalist 

Over the last few years we’ve seen a sudden change and movement of people who are paying closer attention to the conditions of our planet. 

Many companies are going green; some even choosing to make their products either biodegradable or out of recycled materials. States, and even countries, have started banning plastic. Of course, the topic of environmental wellness is nothing new; people have…

antagonise envionmentalists and others given years of argument over major projects including the Adani mine in Queensland, setting the scene for bitter argument over the impact on the environment from any loosening of the environmental rules.

Sounds like Morrison intends to remove protections for people and the environment. Opening up Australia to effective wage slavery, and unfettered destruction and pollution of the environment.

http://Bit.ly/impactoftravel A post I wrote for Jet Set Times went up this week. Have been mulling over this and wrote this at 4am while jet lagged after getting back home from Aus and Hawaii. Travel has become increasingly popular as the cost of flights reduces and many of us have more disposable income. But we often don't talk about the environmental impact. It's a hard topic because for many of us explorers there is a strong pull to travel. It almost feels intrinsic to who we are. So thinking about the need to reduce or curtail it for environmental reasons is almost anathema. There is a sense of irony in the fact that many #envionmentalists (campaigners, speakers, activists and authors) actually travel a lot. But I think it's important to bring this conversation out into the open even if it is in a light way. Hope it provokes some thought. 🙂 #impactoftravel #ecovalues #hawaii #northshore #thehardquestions #nofilter http://ift.tt/2rxcvVQ

*laughs* god I love to read scientific publications by environmentalists. It’s always so deliciously passive aggressive you have no idea.

Ex:”The British Government spends 1.5 billion pounds per year on storage of radioactive rests (and yet Cameron’s continuous subventions for the atom energy feed-in stand in a clear contrast to the population’s approval)

*chuckles* the environmentalists are very very pissed off thank you very much
