Plant-based substitute for fossil fuels developed for plastic foams

An environmentally-friendly preparation of plant material from pine could serve as a substitute for petroleum-based chemicals in polyurethane foams. The innovation could lead to more environmentally friendly versions of foams used ubiquitously in products such as kitchen sponges, foam cushions, coatings, adhesives, packaging and insulation. The global market for polyurethane totaled more than $75 billion in 2022. A Washington State University-led research team used an environmentally-friendly preparation of lignin as a substitute for 20% of the fossil fuel-based chemicals in the foam. The bio-based foam was as strong and flexible as typical polyurethane foam. The researchers report on their work in the journal ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering.

"A Delhi-based engineer has designed a replacement for polystyrene packaging out of “rice stubble” the dead stalks left over after the rice season in India, millions of tons of which are burned every year.

They say wisdom oft comes from the mouths of babes, and Mr. Arpit Dhupar was at first left scratching his head when his young nephew drew a picture of the world with a grey sky.

Everything else was normal, green grass, yellow sun, white and brown mountains; why was the sky grey? It dawned on him that his nephew was drawing the sky as he saw it every year when the rice stubble was burned: grey.

“We shouldn’t live in a world where we have to explain to kids that the sky should be painted blue. It should be a given,” he told The Better India.

So he launched a new business venture called Dharaksha Ecosystems in order to tackle the rice stubble problem. Essentially, the farmers need it cleared off their land asap after harvest. Its high moisture content means it’s not useful for stove fuel, so they burn it in massive pyres.

In his factory, he turns 250 metric tons of rice stubble harvested from 100 acres of farmland in Punjab and Haryana into packaging, while paying the farmers a rate of $30 per acre for something they would usually burn.

Dhupar originally wanted to use mushrooms to rapidly biodegrade baled stacks of rice stubble, but found that the fungus left behind a metabolite that wasn’t biodegradable—in other words, he’d have to create a waste problem to solve a waste problem.

Over time he realized that the filaments that make up the subterranean structure of the mushrooms, called mycelium, were acting as a sort of binding agent, turning the baled stubble into something durable.

“This wasn’t a waste material but could be a usable one,” said Dhupar. “Through bio-fabrication, we could use the stubble waste to create a material similar to [polystyrene], but one that was biodegradable.”

There are a lot of these sorts of sustainable packaging ideas floating around, invented by people who rarely have experience in markets and commerce. This is not the case with Dhupar’s stubble packaging.

He has already prevented over half a million pounds of polystyrene from entering landfills since launching his product, which has numerous, exceptional properties.

They sell around 20 metric tons of their product every month, making about $30.5 thousand dollars per annum, mostly by selling to glassware companies."

no one asked but here's my skincare routine xx 🌚 (including pictures of all the products !)

i'm a teen with acne-prone slightly sensitive skin that gets oily by the end of the day🧖‍♀️

(i'm 99% sure i'm allergic to salicylic acid bc it didn't help with my breakouts/caused them so i avoid it in my routine❕)

as a makeup remover i use the elf holy hydration makeup melting balm 🚿

& a makeup eraser cloth 🧽

for stubborn waterproof eye makeup i use garnier skin active micellar cleaning water all-in-1 waterproof (aka the blue one) i have a huge bottle of it :)💧

(i want to start using reusable cotton rounds so pls lmk of any good brands !)

i just ran out but if i haven't worn makeup but my pores feel especially clogged i use the burt's bees oil cleanser 🥥 (you do have to double cleanse with a water based cleanser afterwards !)

for a daily water-based facial cleanser i use two different ones

the cerave foaming facial cleanser 🧼 "oil control" on the bottle is no joke ! i don't get oily in the day anymore bc of the niacinamide in this :)

but it can be a little drying/strong so i mix it with the cetaphil gentle skin cleanser 🛁

i use this really cheap & generic silicone face scrubber for my nostrils/chin/sideburn-hairline area 🧽

once a week i use this scrub pixi peel and polish its a mask with physical and chemical exfoliants

it smells like lemon cucumber water🥒 and can also be used for body acne on the chest, back, & arms !!

once a week i use an AHA chemical exfoliant it's elf supertone toner 🌝 it has glycolic acid and is has a little bit of a lemony scent

what i use as a daily toner is thayer's rose-scented witch hazel spray 💌 it calms down any redness i have instantly !

i used to use the cerave daily moisturizing lotion but it was a little oily and it was impossible to apply makeup on 🧘 so now i use it on my hands before doing my facial moisturizer

and for that i use a mix of elf holy hydration gel-yeah moisturizer and elf holy hydration face cream 💦 it's pretty self-explanatory but the former is a clear gel and the latter is a white cream, i adjust the proportions for my moisture needs :) ⛲️

in the winter or if my face feels dry or in need of healing i use clinique moisture surge overnight face mask 🦪

"mask" is a little misleading as you just apply it with your moisturizer like any other lotion 🧴 it's super hydrating, it's a little expensive but i got it as a gift and a little goes a long way ! :)

after a breakout has healed completely i use a little bio oil on top of my moisturizer to fade any dark spots/scars 🐚

after i shower and exfoliate my lips i use this random lip mask from bath and body works that's watermelon scented 🍉 it's thick (a little goes a long way) and yummy

i also use smith's rosebud salve in this tin 🌹 it's like a nice scented vaseline

i don't use it all the time bc it's expensive but i love the mario badescu caffeine eye cream💆it's so good for my sunken dark circles ! but avoid getting it in your eye and keeping it in the bathroom bc it curdles if it gets too hot from shower steam

for active acne spots i use might patch pimple patches 🩹regular for whiteheads and micropoint ones for swollen spots under the skin

those are pretty expensive so for smaller spots i use mario badescu drying lotion overnight 🫧

i'm pretty bad at remembering sunscreen in the morning but i just got the glow recipe dew balm with spf 45 and niacinamide 🌸 i love the glow and the light fruity scent :)

i do want mention that my life-saver game-changer for stopping cystic acne (those painful lumps deep in the skin) and just acne in general has been hormonal birth control pills ! after i started BC for pcos/hormonal reason all of my breakouts decreased significantly🪽

tysm for reading !! 🕊️ xx

Here's the second ready to fur cat base with green eyes and foam ears. :D They are super comfy to wear with a great moving jaw and vision. Forehead padding is machine washable and the rest can be scrubbed or submersed in water. 🐈🌊

Link is in my bio, go to my official website and check the 3d bases section. I'll also have a direct link in my stories in a few minutes~

I CAVED AND MADE A SPIDER-SONA His name is Weaver (He/Him) and I based him off of the idea of a Golden Orb-Weaver spider! People will also call him his official title of "The Golden Spider", but close friends call him Weaver. The Spider legs are detachable since they are a bio-mechanical device instead of part of his body. Is this an excuse to draw him without them sometimes? Yes. Yes it is. This entire ordeal started as a small idea a few years ago, but The Medbay discord inspired me to actually finish it and put him on "paper". Crop top hoodies are great

For those wondering, yes he will be put up on my artfight account :>

More info/refs below the cut for those interested! I spent so much time fleshing out the design bits because MY LORD I want to be able to draw him right from so many angles. I also didn't want to have to remake it 😭

Weaver is ~20 years old and lives by himself with no contact to his family/parents. The whole double-arm thing is because of the spider that bit him (that little menace), and it both makes his life easier and harder at the same time.

His height is, surprisingly, just because of genetics. It does help to carry around the extra weight that his arms put on him.

Weaver gives off massive big brother energy and vibes. He is incredibly sarcastic, caring (even though he doesn't really show it most of the time), mildly aloof and pretty blunt. There may or may not have been a time where he left another spider-person on a roof, tangled up in his webs. Speaking of webs, all of his webs are organically made! They are made by him naturally instead of chemically like some spider-people. The only place where they aren't produced is in his fake spider legs and he has a system that gives them webs anyway. It's pretty useful but it can be a pain if his body doesn't have the nutrients and stuff to make the webs naturally.

Weaver also has some sensory problems, mainly his touch and hearing. The hoodie is designed to be able to muffle sound when he puts the hood up (this is mainly why there is so much fluff there. It makes the hoodie comfortable to wear instead of looking like a big piece of foam that hurts). The hoodie also is weighted (a little) so it can be grounding when he has a sensory overload :>

what do the flags in your pfp mean

One is the xenogender flag and the other is the Hazzardqueer/ dangerqueer flag.

Xenogenders are any gender identities that are foreign to the gender binary (nothing particularly referring to woman and man), so they also fall under the umbrella term non-binary (any gender identity that’s not strictly man or woman). Often xenogenders relate to all sorts of things from colors, to animals, to feelings, pretty much anything. More often then non autistic people identify with xenogenders because they are more likely to have a very atypical connection with gender in comparison to allistic (non-autistic) people. [Flag description: lines of pastel set of colors from top to bottom: red, orange, yellow, violet, and purple, with either a white or black lineart of a rainbow with a star under it. End image description.]

Hazzardqueer/ dangerqueer that is both an identity and an inclusionist identity movement characterized by striving to be your most unapologetic authentic self and owning your queerness while also doing your best to uplift and except others in the same way instead of looking to find labels and categories to stuff people into all for the purpose or trying to make their identities more palatable and to make sense to others. It’s inclusionary to many “contradictory labels” pertaining to gender identity, sexualities, and even systems of all origins (referring to people with alternate personalities that can in many cases have their own identities with their own memories separated by amnesiac barriers.) However the Hazzardqueer/ Dangerqueer movement is specifically against things like pro-contact/anti-recovery (of people with paraphilias that can cause harm to others), “consang”, and purposefully bad-faith/ transx identities. [Flag description: vibrant neon colors from top to bottom: like a darkish Walmart blue, a darkish blue between cyan and robin’s egg blue, brighter green sea foam green, yellow, black, yellow, orange, red, and deep magenta, with a yellow rounded tip triangle in the middle that looks like the base for a hazard sign. End image description.]

I understand why you would ask the question, I do that thing all the time where I see flags in peoples bios and I’m like oh no idk what that one is I hope it’s not for something bad, and I try reverse image searching them and can’t figure it out and all that stuff so I thought it would be good to have the answer on my blog, btw if I update my pfp flags they will likely be with xenogenders. Sorry the past is so long, I wanted to give accurate descriptions so people don’t have to do much looking into it and most of it is from the descriptions online but a lot I did paraphrase a lot especially with the top one cause I feel I have more of an understanding of it. Also I totally like made up the image descriptions on my own by looking at the flags but I’m now realizing I should’ve just found official ones online but I don’t feel like redoing it all so I’m gonna put this part about it at the end.

The Impact of Sneakers on Sports Performance: From Basketball to Running

Sneakers, often referred to as athletic shoes or trainers, play a pivotal role in enhancing sports performance across various disciplines. Whether it's basketball, running, soccer, or any other sport, the right pair of sneakers can make a significant difference in an athlete's performance. In this blog, we will delve into the science behind the impact of sneakers on sports performance, with a particular focus on basketball and running. We will explore the key features that make sneakers performance-enhancing, the importance of proper fit and design, and how advancements in technology are shaping the future of sports footwear.

Section 1: The Science of Sports Footwear

To understand how sneakers influence sports performance, we must first look at the science behind their design. Modern sports footwear is meticulously engineered to optimize athletic ability. Key factors include cushioning, stability, flexibility, and traction. Each of these elements is tailored to the specific demands of the sport, ensuring athletes can perform at their best.

1.1 Cushioning and Impact Absorption In high-impact sports like basketball, sneakers with adequate cushioning are crucial for absorbing the shock and reducing the strain on the joints. Proper cushioning helps prevent injuries like ankle sprains and stress fractures, enabling players to move with confidence and agility on the court.

1.2 Stability and Support For sports that involve rapid changes in direction and lateral movements, such as basketball, sneakers with excellent stability and support are essential. They help maintain balance, reduce the risk of rolling or twisting ankles, and improve overall performance by providing a solid base to push off from.

Section 2: The Impact of Sneakers on Basketball Performance

2.1 Ankle Support and Injury Prevention Basketball players often face the risk of ankle injuries due to sudden stops, starts, and jumps. High-top sneakers with good ankle support have been a traditional choice, offering stability and protection to players. However, low-top models with advanced materials are gaining popularity as they provide adequate support without compromising on mobility.

2.2 Traction for Quick Moves Traction is a critical aspect of basketball sneakers, as it affects an athlete's ability to make quick cuts and change directions. Outsoles with multi-directional patterns and specialized rubber compounds ensure optimal grip on the court, enhancing agility and responsiveness.

Section 3: The Impact of Sneakers on Running Performance

3.1 Cushioning and Energy Return In running, sneakers must strike a balance between providing enough cushioning to protect against impact-related injuries while returning energy to propel the runner forward. Midsole technologies like air cushions, foam compounds, and carbon plates contribute to increased energy return, making sneakers more responsive and efficient.

3.2 Breathability and Weight Lightweight and breathable sneakers are favored by runners as they reduce fatigue and discomfort during long-distance races. Advanced mesh materials and seamless construction improve ventilation, preventing overheating and moisture accumulation.

Section 4: The Future of Sports Footwear

4.1 Data-Driven Design Advancements in technology have enabled sports shoe manufacturers to incorporate data-driven insights into their designs. Motion-capture systems and pressure sensors help analyze athletes' movements and pressure points, leading to personalized footwear that maximizes performance and minimizes injury risk.

4.2 Sustainable Materials and Manufacturing As environmental awareness grows, the sports footwear industry is embracing sustainable materials and manufacturing processes. Recycled plastics, bio-based materials, and eco-friendly production methods are becoming increasingly prevalent, aligning with athletes' desire for responsible and ethical choices.

The impact of sneakers on sports performance cannot be overstated. From providing essential support and cushioning to optimizing traction and energy return, the right pair of sneakers can significantly enhance an athlete's abilities. Whether on the basketball court or the running track, athletes can maximize their potential by choosing performance-oriented footwear. As technology continues to evolve and sustainability takes center stage, the future of sports footwear promises even more exciting innovations for athletes worldwide. So, the next time you lace up your sneakers, remember that your performance is not only a reflection of your training but also a testament to the power of cutting-edge sports footwear.

maybe I'm a bitch and a little touchy, idc, I learned that someone used my very... divergent portrayal of Eskel and fed it to ChatGPT to have fanfic written about him.

I'm still fucking foaming at the mouth about that.

I blocked the person in question immediately and cut all ties. This is still somehow theft of my ideas because ... that will sound arrogant now, but! this Eskel is my version of him, he has little to nothing to do with Game!Eskel, or Book!Eskel - his bio lines up, but his character is solely based on the few minutes of netflix content. So, stealing his character and bio, that btw includes his sister and a totally AU-like biography of them HITS ME HARD.
