#they're pollution

[sapphicdessi]

That has to be a large percentage of bisexual women dating TIMs 🤢 Out of all the men they could choose, that's the men they go for? There are better less misogynistic men out there.

the women who willingly date troons usually are bi women and now they're like omg I love having gay sex with my gf/wife im such a dyke <333 all over social media and reddit

#they're pollution #honestly #to all women #esp lesbians #that loony homophobic piece of shit in my inbox can't read at all #exactly like a tra #an ex friend who I hate so fucking much is a bi woman larping as a lesbian she is dating a troon she owes me a lot :)) #she defended troons who sexually harassed me and were creepy to me including her ugly troon bf #she also is a white girl who basically does the im part indigenious when she's really not and feels insecure she has white skin lmfao #her troon moid would lie and be like you're getting tan #girl you're whiter than wonder bread stfu

Idk why but I can imagine Vasco and machete looking at the stars together since there was probably not a lot of light pollution in their time than there is nowadays so the stars were probably wayyy more visible

#still away from home and the scanner at my disposal isn't very good so no finished art but have a little sketch nonetheless #own art #own characters #CanisAlbus #art #artists on tumblr #Vasco #Machete #anthro #sighthound #dogs #canine #animals #sketches #wip #answered #fattyteeth #can Machete even see the stars properly though I'm not really sure #I went outside and took off my glasses to maybe get some perspective but alas it's a cloudy night there's no stars visible to begin with #and I guess the massive difference in light pollution kind of makes it pointless to even try they're not comparable

JOHN: he doesn't have a dog? DAVEPETA: B33 < maybe hes talking about karcat

and then they all watched the mlp:fim movie and proceeded to get into a heated argument over character analysis afterward. john interrupts them all by going "well i like pinkie pie! she's silly." and they all just stop arguing and are like yeah. yeah pinkie pie is silly.

for the record I think wind turbines are beautiful and are not a stain on any landscape and the sounds they make are beautiful and whenever I see one I am filled with love for human innovation and hope for the future of clean energy and if they needed to be built close to my house I would go YAYY ^_^ WAHOO ^_^ WIND TURBINE!!

#TO CLARIFY I UNDERTSTAND THE NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF WIND TURBINES #like the noise pollution and the possibility of it harming birds BUT. at the moment they are one of the best energy solutions available #this post is mainly about how lots of people think they're ugly #I saw one on a mountain in new zealand and went WOAH!!!! SO COOL!!!!! WOW ^_^ #listen to my gibberish boy #fearful that this may become a banger post and that people may piss on the poor about this if you know what I mean #BUT #POSTING ANYWAY. IMPORTANT TO ME #posic #objectum #<- saw some people tag these and thought hey why not. post for you all to enjoy ^_^

tonight was Very Beautiful

#went outta town and away from light pollution for this and everything #(though i found out later that the photo i took from my apartment balcony #you could actually very faintly see the aurora in it #couldn't see it with the naked eye in town tho) #photography #aurora borealis #might touch these up eventually I'm just happy to See them they're so pretty #it was so pretty. ohhhh my gosh #i always thought those videos of them were like #sped up or something for the effect. NO they are not they really do just move as fast as that #and there were points the ribbons were flashing and pulsing in brightness it was so cool #AND. NOT ONLY THAT. but i ALSO saw a handful of shooting stars!!!!

I figured we weren't going to convince them that Gortash is the problem and quite frankly I didn't have time for this.

"A Ghanaian-English entrepreneur has designed an electric bike from the ground up that’s transforming short-range transportation in her home country, proving that problem-solving in Africa can be done in Africa, by Africans.

[Valerie Labi's] company, Wahu!, assembles each bike by hand, and they can travel up to 80 miles [128 kilometers] on a single charge. This means that a delivery rider for Glovo or Bolt can comfortably cover a whole day’s work without refueling.

Anyone who’s visited Accra, Ghana, in the dry season will remember the incredibly poor air quality. Poor roads mean that cars are stuck in second and third gears, and old cars traveling in second and third gears mean plenty of extra car exhaust.

Poor roads also mean exposed dirt, and exposed dirt means fine-grained dust. Combined with a lack of rain, the smog, dust, and car exhaust make the air in parts of the capital unfit for human health.

Wahu! bikes help alleviate all three of these problems, and despite her English nativity [Note: Super weird and unclear way to phrase it?] and education, the bikes were designed and manufactured in Spintex, Accra.

“By introducing electric bikes into Ghana’s transportation ecosystem, we’re not only providing a greener alternative but also offering speed and convenience,” Labi told The Mirror. “Our bikes are a testament to how service delivery can be seamlessly merged with environmental conservation.”

Valerie Labi is a true inspiration, and besides her transportation company, she got her start in the Ghanaian economy in sanitation. She holds a chieftaincy title as Gundugu Sabtanaa, given to her by the previous Chief of the Dagbon traditional area in the Northern Region of Ghana. She has three children, holds a double major in Economics and Sustainability from two separate universities, and has visited 59 countries.

Getting her start in Northern Ghana, she founded the social enterprise Sama Sama, a mobile toilet and sanitation company that now boasts 300,000 clients.

During her travels around the small, densely populated country, she also recognized that transportation was not only a problem, but offered real potential for eco-friendly solutions.

“It took us two years to effectively design a bike that we thought was fit for the African road, then we connected with Jumia and other delivery companies to get started,” she told The Mirror. “Currently, I have over 100 bikes in circulation and we give the bikes on a ‘work and pay’ basis directly to delivery riders.”

According to Labi, each driver pays about 300 Ghana cedis, or about $24.00, per week to use the bike, which can travel 24 miles per hour, and hold over 300 pounds of weight. The fat tires are supported by double-crown front/double-spring rear suspension.

The bikes are also guaranteed by the company’s proprietary anti-theft system of trackers. Only a single bike has been stolen, and it was quickly located and returned to the owner."

all credit and praise for this bonkers idea goes to @tinygigas' absolute stroke of genius Old Hunters x Wizard of Oz crossover in this post (which features the whole quartet, including Maria and Ludwig). it was too good not to expand upon.

Noise pollution drives intolerance it seems...

#noise pollution #sensory issues #fuckcars #carfree #psychology #petiolata reads #Nonsense: the Power of Not Knowing #Jamie Holmes #op #I didn't pick up this book looking for information on auditory/sensory input affecting ppl but it's crazy how much it does #something like a noisy printer going in the background made people come to different decisions on pseudo jury cases even #and there is tons of research on how traffic noise in neighborhoods negatively affects humans' stress levels and happiness #it's always been my theory that NTs *are* negatively affected by their rampant noise pollution--they're just too #out of touch and able to ignore sensory discomforts that they don't realize the way they're being subtly negatively affected

At the end of the day, I've learned that it doesn't matter whether or not being trans is the ~newest social contagion~, people would either want all ten of us dead or all fifteen billion of us. The "social contagion" theory is a stepping stone to how we, apparently, deserve the genocide people advocate for, and the ideas of what constitutes a "social contagion" are the justification.

When you realize that, you realize that what people aren't arguing is that Big Trans is doing Bad Thing and only that must be stopped, but that your kind shouldn't exist.

You don't reason with contagions, and you certainly don't argue facts and logic with it. You eradicate it. And that is the end goal.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #transphobia #transphobia tw #the bigger picture is that being trans Is Bad and You Shouldn't Be Trans #if being trans were a neutral thing then it wouldn't fucking matter who is trans and who is not #remember that words like virus and illness and pollution are also synonyms with contagion #they aren't viewing transness as a thing that some people are but as a *literal* virus of the mind body and soul #and do you treat a virus by sitting down with it at a debate poduim with notecards in hand? #NO. you fucking eradicate it. you destroy the virus however you can. #THAT is the appeal of the social contagion theory... #...it takes the human impulse of wanting to destroy harmful things (e.g. viruses) and applies it to actual human people... #...they did it with gay people. they're *still* doing it with gay people... #...and they always fucking will until you stop viewing it as a fucking Sin Of Mind Body And Soul... #...what queer transphobes seem to forget is that they are just as contaminated as we are in the minds of cishet patriarchy... #...we are all talking manifestations of actual viruses in their mind.

So I just looked into that top 50 celebrities list put out by myclimate.org and they say that they "only use data that celebrities themselves publish," meaning that someone being tagged in a post in one area of the world and then the next day posting in another area is how they calculate mileage and emissions. It seems like a pretty glaring data flaw when Taylor obviously isn't going around posting her location or having people tag her in things most of the time, idk. I agree that there's a lot of undue focus being put on Taylor, specifically, when clearly it's a more widespread celebrity problem, but it feels like misinformation to me to be using that study as a gotcha.

#its somewhat unclear how theyre collecting this data but it really doesnt seem like they're using anything other than social media #so no news sources or gossip sites or anything like that which would be posting taylors location consistently #it also does say tags count but like how does that even work when fans tag celebrities in unrelated posts all the time? #does it have to be a tag from a mutual or something? #anyway this data is bad and doesnt actually help taylors cause im sorry to say #it also says the no 1 polluter is travis scott with 6 million kg in 2023 compared to taylor swifts 8.2 million in 2022 #which is data from before the eras tour even started so 2023 has gotta be way higher than that #taylor swift
