hi, I would like to ask about something delicate.
So I read this post: https://www.tumblr.com/hrrtshape/774647947 714510848/insane-dream-like-things-that-were-normal-in-my?source=share
And before going deeper, I would like to ask. Did poverty exist in your Better CR? Did racism, misogyny, xenophobia and bigotry overall exist on your reality?
It's obvious that elitism and classism existed though, unless I'm wrong? I'd like to understand how you see the privileges in the context of the larger picture-do you ever think about how they might affect other people? I mean why and how does these privileges exist?
If all of those things existed, and the only thing that you changed is your life (I'm assuming here, nothing is concrete), did you feel any guilt? I mean if you changed only your life, and everything else is similar to this reality, you must be aware that no one, even "old money" people, have fair clean and clear money. And you "hinted" about that too, so....
Let's say for example, if you're wearing a diamond necklace, did you think about the fact that diamonds are basically a scam (literally worthless carbon rocks) and a lot of precious stones come from child labour? Did you think about the fact that a lot of Dubai's architecture comes from basically slavery? Or the fact that a lot of cacau and other foods comes from also child labour? Did you think about western imperialism and the fact that some parts of South America, Africa, Asia and etc, are basically funding your "dirty" lifestyle? Did you thought about the fact that a lot of aristocratic wealth comes from economic inequality?
Where you socially, environmentally and economically aware of your planet? Was there climate change? What about rich people that profit off war, selling guns, etc?
Did you ever tried to change anything? Or was this just for your own entertainment and curiosity, you just wanted to KNOW exactly how the top 1% lived.
Did you ever thought about the fact that since everything is possible, you could create a reality with all that luxury, but no harm involved?
And why I am asking this? I’m speaking as someone who’s been directly affected by these systems of oppression. It’s kinda infuriating and quite weird to see. It represents a nightmare—one where wealth and power are built on the backs of the suffering and exploitation of others. So I'm curious.
Again I'm just assuming you say yes to my first question. If you say no, you're really cool and you can ignore everything else.
And other shifters with similar DRs, do you feel any guilt? Do you remove all the pain and suffering from the history of humanity on your DRs or just change your life?
Just curious. There's no right or wrong, just pure consciousness. And you can do anything with it. ANYTHING. How do feel about that? I sometimes feel like nothing matters anyways. It's all just pure awareness.
Sorry for any orthographic errors. Byeeeeeee
oh my god. okay. okay. pulling up my sleeves, opening a tab, cracking my knuckles like i’m about to go to war but it’s just a tuesday on the internet. let’s chat.
so, first of all, hi. i love you. i love your brain. you’ve got the existential gears turning, the consciousness unraveling, the pure distilled awareness pouring through your words like a spilled drink on an expensive rug. and that’s gorgeous. i wanna bottle it.
now, about my better cr. here’s the thing. i went in. i sculpted it with the obsessive precision of a renaissance painter losing his mind over a single brushstroke. i took the world and shook it like a snow globe until all the nasty, rotting, exploitative stuff just… wasn’t there anymore. no racism. no misogyny. no classism, no xenophobia, none of that ugly, ancient, sticky, systemic mess. it’s gone. poof. history course deleted. like an unsent text.
but luxury? beauty? the glittering, heart-stopping, how-is-this-even-real kind of life..... that’s there. but it’s not built on suffering. it’s not stitched together with cruelty. in my better cr, wealth isn’t some dragon hoard of stolen gold. it’s light, it’s fluid, it moves in a way that uplifts instead of crushes. diamonds are not mined by little hands. fashion is not a web of exploitation. everything is clean, clear, crystalline. like drinking water straight from a glacier.
and do i think about this? do i consider the weight of privilege, the architecture of power? constantly. because i think the world we know is proof that it doesn’t have to be like this. if i can craft a reality where the ivory towers aren’t built on bones, why wouldn’t i?
so no, there’s no guilt. not because i don’t care, but because there’s nothing to feel guilty about. no systems of oppression funding my morning espresso. no hidden horrors behind the curtains. just a life that is, simply, fully, truly, good.
and maybe that’s the point of all of this. to see what could be, not just what is. to play god, but the nice one. the one who builds, not burns.
hope that makes sense. hope you’re somewhere warm, drinking something sweet. xx

Would you happen to have or know anyone who has solarpunk resources for in deserts? I live in Vegas so I'm not sure if some things I see will be able to help me here :)
Hi! Thanks for getting in touch. Just wanted to preface this by saying I don’t live in a desert, I never have lived in a desert, and I don’t know a lot about deserts (I come from one of the rainiest places in Europe lol). So I may not be the best person to ask.
That said, I have seen some cool stuff floating about. The whole liquid trees debate that circulated recently was a good example - obviously these are redundant in a temperate climate where trees can grow, but in a desert a machine that captures carbon and generates electricity using algae would be pretty useful! I have also heard of various anecdotal stories of people greening or farming deserts, though I’m a bit more iffy about that - should we be changing the ecosystem?
Large swathes of uninhabited desert, with their constant hot sun, could be really good places for big solar parks, though, and the panels in turn could provide shade for plants and animals.
I’d recommend reading up on the lifestyles of indigenous and traditional desert societies across Africa, Asia and the Americas, looking at what technologies they use to keep cool, supply drinking water, etc. Lots of desert plants can have edible or medicinal functions that people don’t know about, so looking into them would be pretty neat - I know people have talked about vegan cactus leather and stuff though I worry that could become mass-commercialised and damage the desert.
Ultimately yeah, I think solarpunk desert narratives and movements are really cool and very under-appreciated. These places have a unique relationship to sunlight and solar power, and more of the planet is going to be desertified due to climate change, so I think they should be at the forefront of the movement. I don’t know much about them at all but I’d love to learn! If you find anything out about how we can apply solarpunk in the desert please do get back in touch and let me know, and who knows, perhaps you can start a solarpunk movement in Las Vegas!

Lemonade is a sweetened lemon-flavored drink.
There are varieties of lemonade found throughout the world. In North America and South Asia, lemonade is typically non-carbonated and non-clarified (called "cloudy lemonade" in British English, or lemon squash in Australian English). It is traditionally a homemade drink using lemon juice, water, and a sweetener such as cane sugar, simple syrup, maple syrup or honey. In the United Kingdom, Ireland, Central Europe, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, a carbonated lemonade soft drink is more common. Despite the differences between the drinks, each is known simply as "lemonade" in countries where it is dominant.
The suffix "-ade" may also be applied to other similar drinks made with different fruits, such a
"Zhanks for zhe information, but as a Chef, I zhink zhis is one of zhe many things I already know! But since you seem keen on learning, let Uncle Ivan share somezhing vith you from his cookbook."
2-1/4 cups sugar 5 cups water, divided 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest 1-3/4 cups lemon juice 1 cup light rum or vodka 6 to 8 cups ice cubes
In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, 1 cup water and lemon zest. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in lemon juice and remaining water. Pour into a 2-qt. pitcher; refrigerate until chilled. Stir in rum. For each serving, place 3/4 to 1 cup ice in a Collins or highball glass. Pour lemonade mixture into glass. Garnish with lemon slices as desired.

National Ice Cream Soda Day 
Whether it’s sitting in your backyard with family and friends, out at a restaurant, or at a specialized ice cream vendor, you won’t regret having an Ice Cream Soda.
National Ice Cream Soda Day is celebrated annually on June 20th. This day is certainly loved and celebrated by many people across the globe, where they enjoy this popular drink. Since this drink has become an increasingly popular refreshment for everyone it has sometimes been referred to as a soda float.
Therefore, you should invest some time in slurping this frothy wonderment up a stripy straw. The drink is comprised of only a couple of scoops of ice-cream in any carbonated beverage. An ice-cream soda is perfect to cool you down on a sizzling June summer day and offers a refreshing snap that leaves you yearning for more.
Ice cream soda has definitely made a huge impression across the entire world. Also famously known as an ice cream float in places like the United Kingdom, USA, Africa, Canada, and East Asia. There are many other names that have risen right across the globe including, coke float in the United Kingdom and South East Asia, A spider in New Zealand and Australia, and a Helado Flotante in Mexico. Yes, that’s right you can even grab yourself a refreshing ice cream soda when holidaying in Mexico. And what a better place to enjoy this lovely beverage?
History Of National Ice Cream Soda Day
Ice Cream Soda day is a day that is dedicated to the commemoration of the famous ice cream soda, a delicious, creamy, and frothy drink. Surprisingly, this drink was a completely accidental discovery. However, because of its unique combination, many people from different parts of the world have grown to love it. Hence, this day is dedicated to remembering the creation of the amazing ice cream soda.
Whether you choose to create your own with a dollop of your favorite ice cream in your favorite carbonated drink or pop into a traditional ice cream bar, once you taste the famous ice cream soda you are sure to fall head over heels and just want more. One of the most popular choices when it comes to ice cream sodas is Coco-Cola and Vanilla ice cream, something about just works and tantalizes the taste buds.
The roots of National Ice Cream Soda Day can be traced right back to when the famous ice cream soda was discovered by a soda seller. They were created by the legendary Robert Green in 1874 during Philadelphia’s sesquicentennial jamboree. Sources state that the ingenious Mr. Green mixed vanilla ice cream in with the soda he was selling, after unfortunately being devoid of ice. Little did he know, but he created a special kind of drink that was to become ultimately and extremely popular in all parts of the world.
During this time, historians say that he was extremely proud of his invention and initiative. His customers were happy about his unintentional creation, which leads us to the here and now. We can certainly thank him for using his initiative to create the ice cream soda that we have come to love so much. It has been said that Mr. Green claims he generated the idea before the initiation of the event.
Even if Mr. Green meant it or not, it was a brilliant idea to keep the sodas cold. Some of the best creations come from on the spot creativity and what a great one this was! Even if it was as simple as the thinking ice cream is cold, ice cubes are cold, let’s try it! Understandably, his epiphany was an instantaneous hit and spread like proverbial wildfire.
Green was basking in his achievement for the remainder of existence and humorously (some would say egotistically!) had “Originator of the Ice Cream Soda” written on his gravestone. And who can blame him! This is definitely something that you’d want to be remembered for.
How Has It Changed?
Nowadays, there is a range of variations on the originally invented ice cream soda, even encompassing root beer floats, Boston coolers, and purple cows. To adequately make National Ice Cream Soda Day an event: grab some soda, a couple of scoops of ice cream and a straw. Finally, sit in the sunshine and enjoy your creation whilst thinking of how Mr. Green’s epiphany became an instant sensation!
Why Should You Be Celebrating National Ice Cream Soda Day?
There are numerous reasons why you should celebrate ice cream soda day. One of the best being that an ice cream soda is an ultimately refreshing treat that can fill you with delight and refreshment. This day gives you the chance to not only enjoy the historic drink but it also allows you to join in the celebrations to thank the creator properly for giving us this wonderful creation. It’s certainly a day for recognizing what creation and initiative can achieve.
And, How Can You Do It?
There are many ways you can join in and enjoy ice cream soda day. Whether it’s your favorite ice cream shop, sitting in your back yard with the family, in a restaurant or joining all the other ice cream soda fans on this wonderful day you’re sure to have fun, find new and exciting flavors and fall in love with a traditional and historical drink that is a favorite to many around the world. Some of the great ways you can join in with the celebrations include:
Getting creative and making your own with your favorite ice cream flavors and favorite drinks. Why not see who can come up with the nicest, most delicious, craziest ideas in your family? You could even turn it into a little competition, the winner claiming the best ice cream soda day prize. You could even go all the way and add whipped cream, sprinkles, chocolate sauce, and a cherry on top.
There are many ice cream soda recipes you could try. How about, A Boozy Biscoff Beer Float with that delicious coffee butter-flavored ice cream and an ice-cold beer? gingerbread Ice Cream Float, who said gingerbread was just for Christmas? Rum and Coke Float, you’re sure to wish that your favorite pub served this version of the ice cream soda once you try it.
The Guinness Float, perfect for the dark beer lovers, this float is made up simply of a bottle of Guinness, vanilla ice cream, and chocolate syrup. Or The Strawberry Ice Cream Soda, perfect for the strawberry shake lovers out there, this fizzy version has all the creamy goodness with the sweet strawberry flavor that you crave.
Taking a trip out and about in search of ice cream soda, come on you’re bound to find it everywhere on this day! In fact, almost in a restaurant or beverage shop should be able to create one for you with ease. You will most likely spot ice cream sodas all throughout your day, you won’t be able to resist the temptation and be spoilt for choice.
It’s certainly high in demand and a popular choice on ice cream soda day. If ice cream soda day wasn’t the perfect excuse to take the family out to enjoy a refreshing, bubbly, fun, and creative drink in the sun then what is? You could even make it a yearly occasion and see how many different flavors you can try across the years.
Celebrate on social media is another great idea, whether you take a picture of you and your friends enjoying your ice cream soda in the sun, share the wonderful creation you and the family have come up with or join in with the other ice cream soda fans, social media is a great way for you to participate in the wonderful day.

COP28 was more than a summit for African nations acutely vulnerable to climate disasters despite being the least responsible for carbon pollution. Africans hoped it could be a pivotal moment where the world’s climate crisis would be confronted head-on.
That hope was almost dashed entirely but salvaged at the last minute. Early on in the negotiations to draft the final text, instead of agreeing on a fossil fuel phasedown deal, a historic commitment that would have lit the path out of Africa’s deepening climate despair, the COP28 draft agreement fell far short.
There have been important strides taken by the host nation. Before the summit, the United Arab Emirates had pledged to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, the first Middle Eastern country to do so. And the UAE’s COP28 presidency put forward an ambitious agenda, mobilizing nearly $84 billion in funding and launching a $30 billion catalytic fund, Altérra, to mobilize up to $250 billion for positive climate action – all in the first five days. This COP has also seen the World Bank increase its commitment by an additional $9 billion annually for climate projects—not to mention $22.6 billion toward climate action provided by multilateral development banks on top of that. And the loss and damage fund, so far raising more than $700 million, was a breakthrough.
But given the scale of the crisis, this is not nearly enough. For African nations, the stakes have never been higher. The relentless march of climate change threatens to render large areas of our land uninhabitable within mere decades—not to mention potentially unleashing a massive wave of climate refugees toward the West.
That’s why it was so disconcerting that OPEC heavyweights like Saudi Arabia, along with major economies including China and India, had ruled out calls for a fossil fuel phasedown, let alone a phaseout. Indeed, China and Russia shielded coal—the dirtiest of fuels—from criticism.
And how exactly were these nations justifying their refusal to curb emissions? In the guise of supporting the global south, they claimed that curbing fossil fuel production is detrimental to economies that rely heavily on it, as many African nations do.
Yet they ignored the catastrophic impact of business-as-usual fossil fuel exploitation, which is a lethal blow to the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius and a veritable death sentence for our countries. Exceeding 1.5 degrees would be disastrous for Africa, which produces the lowest per-capita emissions out of all continents. If nothing changes, approximately 250 million people in Africa could experience high water stress by 2030 due to climate change, impacting water availability for drinking, agriculture, and industry.
Africa’s hopes were about to be dashed on the rocks of political and economic self-interest. Yes, our economies are intertwined with fossil fuels, but the answer is not reckless continuation of fossil fuel production. The solution lies in a just and equitable transition to clean energy, underpinned by significant climate financing support from wealthier, industrialized nations. Without this, the idea of a fair transition simply does not hold up. Which is why African countries themselves said that they have no choice but to use fossil fuels if rich, industrialized nations refuse to provide funding for their green transition.
Saudi Arabia, India, and China had an opportunity to demonstrate that they are not stuck in the past but are instead ready to embrace the future. That means grappling constructively with the recognition that to retain a safe climate, the world must phase down fossil fuels. Doing so would be consistent with the fact that China and India are, respectively, the world’s first and third top renewable energy producers, with Saudi Arabia picking up the pace this year.
But it’s not just the major oil producers that almost derailed COP28 at the last hour. It’s also the United States and Europe that, despite ramping up their rhetoric in support of a fossil fuel phaseout, have failed to facilitate the climate finance needed to actually make it feasible.
Their calls thus left a sour taste for many African delegates. Many of us had experienced a sense of palpable hope around this critical issue when COP President Sultan Ahmed al-Jaber met with Kenyan President William Ruto during the Africa Climate Summit, where they agreed to support private-sector engagement in climate finance. To kick-start the initiative, the UAE invested over $13 billion to catalyze renewable energy projects across Africa.
In contrast, the failure of the U.S., U.K., and EU to back up their fossil fuel phaseout rhetoric with tangible mechanisms to make it financially viable—especially for the world’s developing nations—has alarmed many African leaders who feel  we are  being told we can have nothing: no fossil fuels for development, and no finance for a green transition . Without the financing to support a crash program in energy transformation, leaving fossil fuels in the ground would be a recipe to collapse into poverty.
Ultimately, without a drastic reduction in global fossil fuel production, Africa will continue suffering from escalating extreme weather events and natural disasters, leading to a greater need for funds to be directed toward climate disaster response and recovery, rather than proactive mitigation and adaptation efforts.
That is why the final COP28 agreement brokered by the UAE represents such a significant breakthrough. For the first time in history, we have a global climate agreement that formally recognizes the crucial significance of systematically reducing oil, gas, and coal use by incorporating the language of “transitioning away from fossil fuels in energy systems.” That such an agreement was signed off by 198 countries was extraordinary. That it was the UAE, the seventh-largest oil producer in the world, that managed to bring the world’s biggest oil producers—including Saudi Arabia, Iraq, China, and Russia—onto the side of recognizing this transition seemed surprising but revealed that they needed one of their own to broker this stunning compromise.
There’s still much work to do. We lack a mechanism to unlock the trillions of dollars of finance necessary to back such a huge and complex transition. The richest, most industrialized nations that have watered down their financial commitments at every opportunity were eagerly pointing the finger—but it is they who have refused to put their money where their mouths are.
Ultimately, this is the first COP that has managed to rally 198 world governments behind a vision of a world after fossil fuels, backed by a goal of tripling renewable energy and doubling energy efficiency by 2030. That goal is enough to tackle up to three-quarters of the emissions reductions required by that year to avoid dangerous climate change.
There’s no avoiding the fact that global energy markets will receive an unmistakable message from this declaration: The future is renewable, and the age of fossil fuels will soon be behind us.

"The Lesser flamingo live in the highly alkaline, soda-rich lakes of Eastern and Southern Africa. Some of these lakes are so caustic that it can cause burns to other animals if they spend time in the water. For instance, Lake Natron in Tanzania has a pH approaching that of household bleach, but special tough skin and scales on flamingo legs prevent burns from this water… They[the American flamingo] and other species of flamingos can drink saltwater when fresh water is not available, expelling the excess salt through their nasal cavity. They can even drink near boiling water from geysers!"-Don Stacy on Jacksonville Zoo
This one’s from the Smithsonian Magazine by Jennifer Billock. "Lake Natron burns bright red, surrounded by the calcified remains of animals that were unfortunate enough to fall into the salty water. Bats, swallows and more are chemically preserved in the pose in which they perished; deposits of sodium carbonate in the water (a chemical once used in Egyptian mummification) seal the creatures in their watery tomb… The water is oversaturated with salt, can reach temperatures of 140 degrees and has a pH between 9 and 10.5—so corrosive that it can calcify those remains, strip ink off printed materials and burn the skin and eyes of unadapted animals."
The more ya learn about Flamingoes the weirder and cooler they are. Unlike supernatural which seemingly only got weirder and more hilarious to laugh and point at.
still amazes me that by season 45 or whatever, Supernatural was being exclusively watched by delusionally hopeful women with flamingo-salinity tolerance for bad writing and the creators still couldn’t pander to them because maybe there was 1 straight guy out there still accidentally watching it

Understanding the Environmental Impacts of Climate Change and Global Warming
Climate change, driven largely by global warming, is one of the most significant environmental challenges of our time. Its impacts are far-reaching, affecting ecosystems, human health, and the overall stability of the planet. In this blog, we explore the critical Environmental Impacts of Climate Change and how global warming intensifies these challenges.
Tumblr media
What is Climate Change?
Climate change refers to long-term alterations in temperature, precipitation, wind patterns, and other elements of the Earth's climate system. While natural factors like volcanic eruptions and solar cycles have historically influenced climate, human activities, especially the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, have accelerated this change.
Global Warming: The Driving Force
Global warming, a primary aspect of climate change, refers to the rise in Earth's average surface temperature due to the increased concentration of greenhouse gases (GHGs) like carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), human-induced global warming has already reached approximately 1.1°C above pre-industrial levels.
Environmental Impacts of Climate Change
1. Rising Sea Levels
As global temperatures rise, polar ice caps and glaciers melt, contributing to higher sea levels. Thermal expansion of seawater also exacerbates this problem. Coastal areas around the world face increased flooding, erosion, and habitat loss, threatening millions of people and biodiversity.
Example: Countries like the Maldives and Bangladesh are experiencing severe risks from rising sea levels, with potential displacement of communities.
2. Extreme Weather Events
Climate change increases the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, including hurricanes, heatwaves, droughts, and heavy rainfall.
Hurricanes and Typhoons: Warmer oceans provide more energy for these storms, leading to greater destruction.
Heatwaves: Intensified by global warming, prolonged heat events pose serious health risks and can damage crops.
Droughts and Flooding: Regions like sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia face severe water shortages and flooding, impacting agriculture and livelihoods.
3. Loss of Biodiversity
Climate change disrupts habitats and ecosystems, leading to the extinction of numerous plant and animal species. Changes in temperature and precipitation patterns affect migration, breeding, and feeding behaviors.
Arctic Wildlife: Polar bears and seals are losing their icy habitats due to melting glaciers.
Coral Reefs: Ocean warming and acidification bleach coral reefs, endangering marine life.
4. Ocean Acidification
The oceans absorb about 30% of CO2 emissions, resulting in chemical changes that lower the pH of seawater. This acidification affects marine ecosystems, particularly shell-forming organisms like corals, mollusks, and some plankton species.
5. Impact on Freshwater Resources
Changes in precipitation patterns lead to altered river flows and reduced availability of freshwater. Glaciers, which provide drinking water for millions, are rapidly disappearing.
Case Study: The Himalayan glaciers, often referred to as the "Third Pole," are melting, affecting water supplies for South Asian countries.
6. Shifts in Agricultural Productivity
Global warming alters growing seasons, disrupts pollination patterns, and increases the prevalence of pests and diseases. While some regions may benefit from longer growing seasons, others face severe declines in crop yields.
Example: Sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Asia are already experiencing food insecurity due to reduced agricultural productivity.
7. Forest Degradation and Wildfires
Rising temperatures and prolonged droughts increase the frequency and severity of wildfires, destroying vast areas of forests. This not only impacts biodiversity but also reduces carbon sequestration capacity, further accelerating climate change.
Example: Wildfires in California, Australia, and the Amazon rainforest have highlighted the devastating consequences of climate change.
Mitigating Climate Change and Global Warming
While the environmental impacts of Climate Change Review are severe, there are actionable steps that individuals, communities, and governments can take to mitigate its effects:
Transition to Renewable Energy:
Shift from fossil fuels to solar, wind, and hydroelectric power to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Promote Energy Efficiency:
Encourage the use of energy-efficient appliances, buildings, and vehicles.
Reforestation and Afforestation:
Planting trees helps absorb CO2, restoring ecosystems and biodiversity.
Sustainable Agriculture:
Adopt practices like crop rotation, organic farming, and precision agriculture to minimize emissions and enhance resilience.
Policy Interventions:
Governments must enforce regulations to limit industrial emissions and invest in green technologies.
Raise Awareness:
Educating communities about the environmental impacts of climate change encourages collective action.
A Global Responsibility
Addressing the environmental impacts of climate change requires global cooperation. International agreements like the Paris Accord aim to limit global warming to 1.5°C by reducing emissions and enhancing adaptive capacities.
Conclusion
The environmental impacts of climate change, driven by Global Warming Climate Change, threaten the very fabric of life on Earth. Rising sea levels, extreme weather events, biodiversity loss, and other effects underscore the urgency of collective action. By adopting sustainable practices, transitioning to renewable energy, and fostering global collaboration, we can mitigate these impacts and pave the way for a more resilient planet.
Let us act today for a better tomorrow. Together, we can combat climate change and protect our environment for future generations.
