how does antiquing work in Star Trek?
like, okay, there's no scarcity Because Replicators. great! except you can't replicate an antique, not the real thing. probably some AMAZING reproductions- 24th-century historical costumers must be having the time of their lives, because as great as modern synthetic baleen is, imagine what you could do with a machine that literally replicates the exact molecular structure of the same! or that extinct flax that made medieval linen so great! -but I know antique collectors. there's nothing like the feeling of something you know so many other people have loved for centuries
is it like a barter system? do you go to the antique "shop" with things passed down in your family or found in the equivalent of a Facebook buy-nothing group, and trade what you have for what the history nerd running the place has based on your respective interests?
is Brimfield like a giant swap meet? could I go with, say...a big bag full of my grandmother's chunky 1950s costume jewelry and trade it for 1880s blouse waists because the stall owner wants the former and I want the latter? equivalent value wouldn't matter- what's value, beyond how much you treasure something? nobody's got rent to make or bills to pay, after all
do people become antiques "dealers" just for the thrill of the hunt and the pleasure of matching an object to someone who will love it? you don't have to work, after all; you can spend your whole life searching the world for rare treasures if that brings you joy
this is a nice thought
#star trek#worldbuilding#oh my god think of the wonderful materials you could have at your disposal to make clothes out of though#with replicators#as much merino and silk-velvet and cashmere as you wanted. aforementioned Good Linen. the lightest#sheerest voile imaginable#forget pajama jumpsuits; their world could gain back some of the sensory textile richness ours has lost#furs- anything you wanted! from any animal! because it's not FROM the animal but it's exactly the same!#it's not 'faux fur' made of plastic- it IS the real thing#hi my name is Marzi and I grew up on TNG but internalized NONE of the aesthetic and got bored in the battle scenes

Recent images I suppose ~
#First one is THE LONG series of GEESE that fly by!!! my aforementioned friends... Or I think I referenced them in tags of some post#days ago. and how I love watching them. See how many there are? And multiple of these will go by. It's like hundreds of them.#Then just the sky because I love the sky. My hair looking ridiculous as it always does when I brush it out of the four big braids I always#keep it in to keep it out of the way lol. I just find it silly how small it can be all braided up and then as soon as it is Released and#combed then it poofs into some sort of swamp dwelling wizard style.#Then... a daily word count... have been so busy the past week that I sadly haven't written much but I'm WORKING on it. Still on the blasted#'odd jobs' tasks sections which were SUPPOSED to be very quick and short. but.. alas.. Though I am on basically the last one. You go work#for one of the enchanting specialists in the city (very important in society since a majority of people cannot do that type of magic) and#basically he just works so much he has no time for a social life so he hires random people to sit with him in the afternoons doing menial#tasks. You show up thinking you'll help with some Important Job or something but hes just like 'no... peel this apple for me.. :)' lol#Edit note: arrgh just had to fish a slippery avocado pit out of a narrow garbage disposal drain with a chopstick. felt like some#sort of taskmaster challenge or something.. gods... I know some people just reach into them. I guess maybe#my hand would fit?? but... erm... scary. what about Sharp Things in there or something.. also Sludge of some sort perhaps.#ANWYAY.. interruption... I got up to go to the kitchen in the middle of typing my tags... lol..#Next image is SLEEPING boye.. And then PIGEONS!!!!!!!!!! my beloveds...#Oh then the giant evil hole in my bathroom ceiling which is STILL not fixed and the repair people still have to come back again.. BUT they#did have this terrible industrial dehumidifier thing they put in the bathroom and just left here for like 5 days and it was like a noisy#hairdryer going at all times and raised the heat in the bathroom from 65F to 76F in like two hours so.. I'm glad at least at their#last arrival they've finally taken it away.... the Noise Beast... silence in my house at last...#though I am still plagued by Mysterious Hole.. the plastic wrap rustles sometimes when I'm in there.... go away...#Ah. Then a delightful little lemon poppyseed muffin someone didn't want and then gave to me. Which was interesting since I haven't#had one in soooo long even though its like a very Classic Flavor.. I do quite like them though now that I've had one again. :0c#Lastly.. mushrooms. I think it's the mushroom season here. Everywhere you go outside there's some new manner of fungus#having popped up from nowhere. I like the variety of all their little shapes. These in particular have an interesting wispy curled layers#sort of look to them. Almost like a shaggy hairstyle that's curled up at the ends or something. They seem neat to draw perhaps.#Okay.. that is all.. I still have literally like 2 costumes and 12 outfits and I think 1 sculpture? to post.. but I am so busy this is#what I can manage for now I suppose lol... quick pictures that don't really take any sorting or cropping or editing lol#photo diary

People be out here saying "don't get the free plastic bags from the store, just buy reusable ones!" as though my parents haven't been using the same 10 free plastic bags for the past seven years.
Most things are reusable if you have enough determination.
This is a shitpost I support environmentalism and also people who need disposable shit for health reasons I just thought this was funny please don't hate me-
#environment#environmentalism#reusable#reduce reuse recycle#recycling#waste disposal#plastic bag#shitpost#made this post because i (college) student was buying emergency groceries and realized that i forgot my bag#and i had too much stuff to carry in my arms so the cashier asked if i wanted a bag#and my first thought was 'oh good a free bathroom trashbag'#like yes plastic bag are still bad but i also think it could be interesting to talk about the ways in which we still reuse disposable thing#i have been using the same paper plate for the past three meals#i throw it out when i think it will attract ants#growing up my parents subconsciously taught me every possible way i could reuse a disposable bag#so i don't completely mind it when i get one from the store because for me it's really similar to a normal reusable bag

Random post game scenario, after of which a towerless Pizzahead tricks Peppino to "let" him work "with" him. First day; and Pepperoni is already completely fed up with the guy!
Pizzahead hates dishes, and WILL break them rather than washing any. ever. this is canon and you CANT CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE
#pizza headed man: blorbo of my brain ☆ blorbo of my heart ♡#i imagined this scenario tbh like the day after i discovered pizzatower i only just drew it now haha#also for the record this is a small scene of my internally imagined post canon ya#pizzahead tricked peppino into being 'buisness partners' and letting pizzer work with pepp (not FOR him- so he cant be fired easily)#and peppino immediatly puts him on dishes duty out of spite and annoyance#problem with one spitefull dude with another even pettier one- is that it cycles#pizzahead never does dishes even in his tower never ever he buys esclusivly paper plates and plastic utensils always#peppino uses glass plates bc washing them is cheaper than constantly supplying more disposable plates#and ofc their ideals clash lmao#its just. so funny !!!#these blorbos... they do such funny things#dorf's art#sketchy doodles#pizza tower#pizzahead#peppino spaghetti#i have so much to say about them haha#feel free to ask about my 'AU' where they work together bc i do have a couple ideas about it i just dunno where to start#pizza tower spoilers

Anyways disabled robot rights. Anthroids who were created by Totally Not Apple™ that start abruptly losing functionality in their systems after a few years because of in-built obsolescence and frantically scrambling to find someone who can jailbreak and repair them, which is literally a crime because "that's proprietary technology and if you even think about messing with it we'll sue your pants off" and shit like that
And they can't risk going to a TNA (Totally Not Apple) center for repair either, because then they'd just be summarily declared Out of Service and lose what little rights they may have to begin with and promptly be murdered so TNA can reuse their batteries and anything else that's salvageable.
Even if you miraculously manage to avoid the planned obsolescence issue, there's still the tiny little problem of...technology evolving, and outstripping you in a matter of years. Sooner than later, you won't be able to find replacement parts for your systems, and the longer you live, the more difficult, if not outright impossible, this task becomes.
You either have to build an entirely new body and transfer yourself into it, and keep doing this every time the problem happens again, or learn how to reverse engineer the parts you need and create them yourself.
And what if you're made of a certain type of material that can only be manufactured on a single planet? What if that resource dries up?
What if you just straight up cannot afford to buy replacement parts even if they do exist, or even if you've got the money, they're half the star system away, and there's a ban on interplanetary trading?
#this is what Murderbot could be but Martha Wells fails to understand many things.#She wants Murderbot to simultaneously be nigh on indescructable and expensive...but also a totally disposable#plastic solo cup that's super cheap and no one cares about.#Like. Martha Wells. you have to pick one. you can't have it both ways.#either Murderbot's expensive and worth a lot of money. and therefore to repair it is#a worthwhile investment.#or it's a plastic solo cup that's meant to be thrown out without a second glance#you have to pick one#pretending it's both at once does not do your already flimsy story any favors#anyways.#robots#disability#writing disability#scifi#science fiction#writing prompts#actually physically disabled#actuallyphysicallydisabled#disabled robots

#everything is eating plastic now#soon the whole world will just be plastic#plastic planet#and when the sun goes all red giant it'll melt plastic earth and release toxicities of unknown proportions#poisoning space and alerting all the aliens to the nature of our demise#so we should start figuring out how to make sure they also know how convenient the disposable bottles and bags were#you know so they can have the whole story#and weigh the pros and cons and such#where's that george carlin joke about plastic being in earth's grand plan all along and how our whole reason for existing#is just cuz the earth needed plastic and couldn't manufacture it on its own and thus created us#maybe it's even bigger and it's the universe's grand plan maybe plastic earth's eventual big melt will be the catalyst#for some great new cosmic event of the future i mean why doesn't anyone consider the big picture yk like#pretty selfish of us honestly to only consider ourselves all the time 'save the planet' well how do you know#that plastic isn't the answer to saving the universe or something even bigger like damn pretty self important aren't we#typical human beings always thinking about our own interests (which is how we got plastic in the first place)#you see this rant came full circle in the end right ok so what did we learn#brought to you by think plastic inc: convenient for today necessary for tomorrow (possibly. i mean who knows. we don't but neither do you.)#text

Inktober 2024 day 4: Candle
#no strong feelings about this one#other than I like the top half but am meh about the bottom part#I also managed to break one of the blades after it got stuck in the cheap handle#but I got all the bits out and the handle can be used again so that's something#I wish I had access to better tools but where I live it's either the plastic handle with disposable blades or Pfeil#and I'm not good enough to justify buying Pfeil#inktober 2024#inktober#artists on tumblr#art#eraser carving#linocarving

"lol all hamsters die a horrific and tragic death" actually i think you just suck at caring for hamsters
#like the amt of hamster owners i see neglecting or straight up abusing their hamsters is insane to me#and many of them dont even realize. but they shut down any advice on how to do it properly#and yeah a lot of hamster owners are also actual children. in which case its the parent/guardian responsibility to care for the pet#those tiny ass plastic cages are hamster killers. also way too small.#hanster balls are hamster killers.#hamsters should not be allowed to roam without supervision#and def not around your cat/dog/bird no matter how tame and gentle it is#im begging people to do real research before committing to a pet#hamsters are not disposable pets and they are not beginner pets and they can and should live long fufilling lives

The friendship harem has started up some good old analog correspondence, so I fell down a fountain pen rabbithole and splurged on some new materials. Did I choose a very expensive ink purely because it was glass green and named Cinderella’s Slipper? Absolutely.
In the meantime, I dug out a very old, inexpensive dried up pen that I have no idea where it even came from. Took it apart and tossed the nib and cartridge into a bottle full of water to dissolve the old ink.
Something about this image of my dimly lit desk covered in art supplies and papers and random junk, with a bottle of bright blue water smack in the middle of it is immensely pleasing?? No idea why.
Anyway, perhaps I will pick up a bottle of less expensive, more versatile blue-black ink tomorrow so I can put my cheap pen to use while I wait for my nice pen to arrive.
#the ink cost more than the pen#well. sort of.#the pen is the aesthetically prettier version of a less expensive model. literally the same except for the finish#so the cheaper version of the pen costs less than the ink#but it’s still on the lower end of fountain pen nonsense tbh#the prices on these things gets. astronomical#but it’s an investment of sorts#fewer disposable plastic-bodied pens#i won’t ever have to replace it if i take good care of it#if you are also intrigued by fountain pens then jetpens.com is a wonderful place to start#their guides are so thorough and informative and less daunting than the fountain pen forums#and all of their listings having samples of how the pen/ink/paper performs#the stat breakdowns are so detailed#you can filter by sooo many criteria#it’s like. ao3 for penmanship nerds

refusing to buy a new vape bc i dont want to contribute to exploitation in the congo but also still being addicted to vaping leads to me just chiefing on the deadest oldest nastiest vape and wondering why i feel like shit every time i hit it
#but fuck vapes man they are literally designed to get children addicted to nicotine#like pre juul most vapes were obnoxious big box rigs that blew huge clouds and stank and were very noticeable and also deeply deeply uncool#and then juul came out with a little usb stick that blew almost imperceptible clouds and actively advertised it to teens#and dont get me started on the nicotine itself#box rigs have juice that has varied nicotine content anywhere from like .05 to 5%#disposables where i live are almost exclusively 5% so its a much stronger rush compared to other vapes#its just sad seeing what could have been the generation that stopped smoking almost entirely become incredibly dependent on vapes#and it really shows where peoples priorities lie#nobody cares that the batteries are deeply exploitative of child labor#nobody cares that they are creating a massive surge of plastic waste#and i can guarantee that Big Tobacco is either getting kickbacks from vape companies or is getting a huge wave of new consumers#because guess what!!! cigarettes are cheaper than vapes!!#and now that vaping is so mainstream cigarettes are becoming the cool artsy thing again#we live in hell actually
