sorry for randomly barging in LOL but I was wondering if u had any indchu hcs :3 missing them...

oh man oh man HELLO! it's an honor to see you here, I absolutely adore your writing!!!! you're one of the damn reasons why indchu got me by the neck (and I thank you)!! as for hcs for them... aw yeah.... let's GO!!!

hair care.....brushing...stroking...massaging

they definitely worship together. they both are devout to their own religions and beliefs, but simply due to proximity (and knowing each other for eons atp), they practice the traditions of the other without being asked. I don't think they notice it either. it's just (absolutely romantical) second nature to participate in each other's cultures

TECH NERDS. a pair of dorks!!! they are fascinated by both old and new ibms, software, hardware, smartphones, machinery, etc, and will buy anything that comes out to review it together. they exchange devices and gadgets like baseball cards. catch them at CES taking over the conference and plugging their shared tech review youtube channel

despite where their relationship is in current day, they have the spare key to each other's places. sometimes when they're not there, the other will still go over to do literally nothing (they just really like having their scent around... coats and blazers go missing often)

all it takes is that one stare to let them know what they need from each other

and they LOVE ARGUING because they think it's HOT and will argue because they know what it leads to!!! toxic mfs get therapy challenge!!! (IMPOSSIBLE)

they love to gossip together and will do so to people's faces. how do they get away with it? they use ancient and obscure indian and chinese dialects to speak with each other because they know no one will understand a lick of it!! fcking genius!!

they're their own personal tailors. they know their measurements by heart, their favorite colors, their shoe size, the best color for their complexions, etc. india is most def the biggest fashion hunter of the two, so china HAD to learn modern sewing patterns and techniques just to APPEASE him. the audacity!! (india does gift him shiny shiny mulberry silk in return)

their culinary skills....their FOODS. enough said!!!

indchu supremacy always and forever

People in North Korea have told the BBC food is so scarce their neighbours have starved to death.

Exclusive interviews gathered inside the world's most isolated state suggest the situation is the worst it has been since the 1990s, experts say.

The government sealed its borders in 2020, cutting off vital supplies. It has also tightened control over people's lives, our interviewees say.

Pyongyang told the BBC it has always prioritised its citizens' interests.

The BBC has secretly interviewed three ordinary people in North Korea, with the help of the organisation Daily NK which operates a network of sources in the country. They told us that since the border closure, they are afraid they will either starve to death or be executed for flouting the rules. It is extremely rare to hear from people living in North Korea.

The interviews reveal a "devastating tragedy is unfolding" in the country, said Sokeel Park from Liberty in North Korea (LiNK), which supports North Korean escapees.

One woman living in the capital Pyongyang told us she knew a family of three who had starved to death at home. "We knocked on their door to give them water, but nobody answered," Ji Yeon said. When the authorities went inside, they found them dead, she said. Ji Yeon's name has been changed to protect her, along with those of the others we interviewed.

A construction worker who lives near the Chinese border, whom we have called Chan Ho, told us food supplies were so low that five people in his village had already died from starvation.

"At first, I was afraid of dying from Covid, but then I began to worry about starving to death," he said.

North Korea has never been able to produce enough food for its 26 million people. When it shut its border in January 2020, authorities stopped importing grain from China, as well as the fertilisers and machinery needed to grow food.

Meanwhile, they have fortified the border with fences, while reportedly ordering guards to shoot anyone trying to cross. This has made it nearly impossible for people to smuggle in food to sell at the unofficial markets, where most North Koreans shop.

A market trader from the north of the country, whom we have named Myong Suk, told us that almost three quarters of the products in her local market used to come from China, but that it was "empty now".

She, like others who make their living selling goods smuggled across the border, has seen most of her income disappear. She told us her family has never had so little to eat, and that recently people had been knocking on her door asking for food because they were so hungry.

From Pyongyang, Ji Yeon told us she had heard of people who had killed themselves at home or disappeared into the mountains to die, because they could no longer make a living.

She was struggling to feed her children, she said. Once, she went two days without eating and thought she was going to die in her sleep.

In the late 1990s, North Korea experienced a devastating famine which killed as many as three million people. Recent rumours of starvation, which these interviews corroborate, have prompted fears the country could be on the brink of another catastrophe.

"That normal, middle-class people are seeing starvation in their neighbourhoods, is very concerning," said the North Korea economist Peter Ward. "We are not talking about full-scale societal collapse and mass starvation yet, but this does not look good."

Hanna Song, the director of NKDB, which documents human rights violations in North Korea, agreed. "For the past 10-15 years we have rarely heard of cases of starvation. This takes us back to the most difficult time in North Korean history."

Even the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has hinted at the seriousness of the situation - at one point referring openly to a "food crisis", while making various attempts to boost agricultural production. Despite this, he has prioritised funding his nuclear weapons programme, testing a record 63 ballistic missiles in 2022. One estimate puts the total cost of these tests at more than $500m (£398m) - more than the amount needed to make up for North Korea's annual grain shortfall.

Our interviewees also revealed how the government has used the past three years to increase its control over people's lives, by strengthening punishments and passing new laws.

Before the pandemic, more than 1,000 people would flee the country each year, crossing the Yalu River into China, according to numbers released by the South Korean government. The market trader Myong Suk told us it had become impossible to escape. "If you even approach the river now you will be given a harsh punishment, so almost nobody is crossing," she said.

The construction worker Chan Ho said his friend's son had recently witnessed several closed-door executions. In each one, three to four people had been killed for attempting to escape. "Every day it gets harder to live," he told us. "One wrong move and you are facing execution."

"We are stuck here waiting to die."

We put our findings to the North Korean government, which told us it "has always prioritised the interests of the people, even at difficult times".

"The people's well-being is our foremost priority, even in the face of trials and challenges," said a representative from the North Korean embassy in London.

They also said the information was "not entirely factual", claiming it had been "derived from fabricated testimonies from anti-DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korea] forces".

But Sokeel Park, from LiNK, said these interviews reveal a "triple whammy" of hardship. "The food situation has become more difficult, people have less freedom to fend for themselves, and it has become pretty much impossible to escape." They support the theory, he said, that "North Korea is now more repressive than it has ever been before."

In Pyongyang, Ji Yeon said the surveillance and crackdowns were now so ruthless that people did not trust each other. She was taken in for questioning under a new law, passed in December 2020, which bans people from sharing and consuming foreign films, TV shows and songs. Under this Reactionary Ideology and Culture Rejection Act, aimed at rooting out foreign information, those caught distributing South Korean content can be executed.

A former North Korean diplomat, who defected in 2019, said he was shocked by how extreme the crackdown on foreign influence had become. "Kim Jong Un is afraid that if people understand the situation they are in, and how wealthy South Korea is, they will start hating him and rise up," explained Ryu Hyun Woo.

Our interviews suggest that some people's loyalty has waned over the past three years.

"Before Covid, people viewed Kim Jong Un positively," Myong Suk said. "Now almost everyone is full of discontent."

hey, I know this may be a stupid question to ask, but can you explain what makes the meme with "thing, japan" and "thing, china" racist? I don't know a lot about these topics, and I'm genuinely confused.

(for the record, I'm taiwanese, and we make similar jokes about our own balls-to-the-wall education system and strict parenting really often)

Idk if racist is the right word here

And for that post, it’s only understandable through a very specific American lens and context so don’t worry about being confused. We’re not talking about people actually from China or Taiwan or Japan criticizing and/or praising their own countries, but rather how westerners and American westerners specifically view Asia. As well as how the Pentagon is pushing another Cold War against China in the propaganda department, considering how sinophobia has intensified in the late 2010s/early 2020s in America. Anything which is Chinese is immediately discarded as “evil”, ie that stupid ‘China spy balloon’ hysteria which wouldn’t have occurred if it had been a Japanese weather balloon in American airspace. But the American media saw a chance for ratings, and they took it by running with the anti-China Cold War style rhetoric that’s been swirling around American culture for the last several years.

Racism is definitely a method in which the Pentagon uses to dehumanize whoever they’ve deemed our “enemies” (which is ofc based on the economic interests of the week), so as to coerce consent from the majority white American population. All of whom have been raised within the mortar shells left behind by segregation and slavery and the genocide of indigenous people, and therefore have a very warped perception about how it’s acceptable to treat people. This primes the American population for anger, which gives way to consent for war.

However. Like I said, China is a legitimate foe. Japan is not. ONE of the reasons Japan started the Second Sino-Japanese War was because in 1930 their population reached 50 million people, and Japan’s land mass can only support the food supply for up to 50 million people. And instead of being reliant on other nations, the Japanese Imperial Army decided to invade and colonize their neighbors. It worked for a minute, until America got involved. The United States had a lot more resources for weapons and machinery, while Japan was on the brink of an environmental catastrophe by the end of WW2 due to the amount of deforestation performed to provide supplies to troops. After the US committed a terrorist attack on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and Japan pulled out of the war (which btw they surrendered bc the USSR was threatening to invade not bc of the nuclear bombs), in the terms of surrender America forced Japan to dissolve the military and give up its right to fight wars. While today Japan does still have somewhat of a military, it’s obviously nothing compared to the Japanese Imperial Army at its height. Many Japanese bases also share with American military bases as well, which I imagine was originally intended to keep eyes on each other. But since WW2, japan has sought to rehabilitate its image somewhat, and has continued to intensely attempt to align itself with the West. Japan is probably now the foremost American ally in the Asia Pacific region.

China however? They do not have a lack of agricultural land, like Japan does. They are much more autonomous and less dependent on other nations and international trade in general in order to feed its population. The numbers of those in poverty has been decreasing over the past several decades. Also, they’re the most populous country in the world. You best believe that scares the shit outta Washington, knowing that each American soldier could be outnumbered by multiple Chinese soldiers. In addition to communism being a direct threat to capitalist profits, this means that Washington has set its sights on China as the next “big bad” that they wanna take down, or at least suppress Chinese culture altogether so that the American people don’t look too closely at the social support systems in China and start demanding it for ourselves. As a result, even everyday trivial things in China are demonized, as a way to dehumanize Chinese people themselves. Both for war purposes, and for propaganda.

There’s also this tendency to infantilize Japan and Japanese people that I see amongst white westerners, which is specifically linked to Japan’s specific utilization of ‘soft power’ post WW2 as a part of the larger attempt to rehab its image in the international political arena. By investing in and promoting Japanese cultural products, it shifts public memory away from war and onto art, which makes it easier to forget that Japan was a colonial empire and still denies justice to the victims of its former empire.

Hope that made sense. Thanks for the ask xoxo

Possibilities of Print Relief Seminar

Print is part of our day to day lives, its on food labels, the book we read, the clothes we wear, everything has some element of print in it.

Brief History of Print

Etching derived from decorating suits of armour where designs were etched in permanently. The Gutenberg printing press revolutionised the printing of books. It could produce up to 3600 pages per day in comparison to hand printing where up to 40 a day were produced. The Japanese were massive printmakers, using it to showcase fashion and erotic artworks. They mostly used woodblock prints.

Some of the types of printmaking

Relief print

Etching

Lithography

Engraving

Silkscreen

Monoprint

Collograph

Hydro printing

Risoprint

Dry point

Relief Print, (woodcut, linocut)

Involves cutting into a surface, rolling the ink across the top of the surface, wherever you cut into doesn’t receive ink. It’s making a mark and then learning how to transfer this mark. They’re so integral to printmaking as they don’t require elaborate and expensive machinery. Printmaking gives the possibility to create and distribute multiple copies in a short space of time. Take for example the propaganda from Mao Zedongs era of rule. A lot of propaganda from the time was created using relief printing. The physicality and directness of print appeals to many, there’s a lot of force in the image with the strong and unforgiving marks created. Yet there’s simplicity in it.

German Expressionists

They are bold and brash, they focus on the getting the image across while showing the strength of the material and process. They brought a sense of change while being raw and simplistic.

Print in Ireland

Print was never a part of Irish culture so there was no restraint to how artists used print here, there’s no historical confinements, unlike in countries like China and Japan where print plays a huge role in their art history. Artists such as Anthony Davis used blockprinting to portray the struggle at the time of the troubles, his way of expressing himself through print is inspired by the German expressionists.

Paul Catherall

His work is very simple and focused on shape and solid blocks of colour. It’s Brutalist in nature, reminding me of the USSR architectural style. While the work looks very simple, it’s one of the hardest types of prints to perfect. One misstep and the whole image will look off.

Omg your old machinery collection + computer assembly sounds so cool please do not restrain yourself <3 id love to hear you talk more about it

oh kisses you kisses you kisses you. i love to collect old crap irl and to build things. maybe favorite thing about building computiez is i love wire management/organizing. so proud of making sure when you open it up its still as pretty as the front. ill pop that bad boy open and straighten your shit right out whenever people let me. gently gently brushing a girls hair for her oh so sweetly

and i collect anything tbh. any format of physical media is one i love like movies games music whatever i can get my hands on. bought records long before i had a record player. little machines are cute to me. ancient little relics from long ago i would unearth from thriftstores as a child. having to dig for it in piles. excavating. no money for new just things that were already way older than me when i got them used as a kid and now even more. but like i said theyre Cute theyre Sturdy theyre Dependable. and to character analysis mode myself its probably looking for stability and positive memory after losing most of my possessions or some gay shit. but the reality is i just like em :) the things i have currently all still work :) the section of a thrift store thats a wall of plastic baggies full of interesting remote varieties will never let me down

something fun is old games. not just cartridges or sweetest little console/old pc frisbee frisbeasts. the little machines are more fun to hear about. i have a good variety. for one i have such a deep fondness for old plug n play games and how the casings are so unique and goofy and colorful and chunky chunky. they have personality and good looks the whole package <3. something i rarely was gifted but adore. little animals on a leash to me with their wire <3 also non plug-in games. li still have a handheld lcd screen animal facts biology trivia game i loved that i cant seem to find online. so newtcoded of me. loved little educational machines and the purely games ones

and not just old ones ive got newer ones as long as theyre Some Interesting Cute Little Hardware. this posts going on wayyy too long but theres tons of throwback-style game stuff that i think is fun. like different flat darling little handheld animals to miniature version of arcade cabinets. i used to have a bunch of cheapo ancient fast food prizes people threw out. but, again, lost possessions. ill have to rebuild. but a neat newer one is a tetris game only sold in china mcdonalds thats in the shape of a Chicken Nugget. and Uh Yes the box looks like a food container. Yeah. cutest little beast i ever did saw. an angel sitting in the palm of my hands

Partition of the land created, both in Russia and China, the conditions under which agriculture could enter the sphere of modern commodity production. Such a system of commodity production arose in Western Europe under the form of classical capitalism. In such a system there no longer exist the closed units in which needs are fulfilled by local labour alone and in which production is geared to local consumption. A peasant no longer consumed all his own production nor produced for the satisfaction of all his own needs. Specialisation developed and the peasant began to work for the market just as industry did.

The peasant supplied industry with primary products and the non-agrarian industrial workers with food. In return, industry supplied the peasant with the machinery to improve and increase production. This specialisation led to an increasing inter-dependence between agriculture and industry.

In Russia and China this type of development also took place, but not along classical lines. Both these countries lacked a modern bourgeoisie which is the historical agent of this type of social change. Its historical role had been taken over by the party and the state. The development towards capitalism in these two countries was also the development towards state capitalism. At first it might appear as if this development was the product of a supposedly 'socialist ideology. On closer inspection, however, it appears that state capitalism was not the result of such an ideology but rather that this 'socialist' ideology was the consequence of the new inevitability of state capitalism.

32

Because state capitalism implies a restriction of 'free' market mechanisms and of the traditional 'freedoms' of the producer, it encountered both in China and in Russia the resistance of peasants who had just established themselves as free producers. The historical need to overcome this resistance inevitably resulted in a Party dictatorship.

The climate of resistance among the Chinese peasantry is clearly demonstrated in an episode described in the Party's theoretical journal in 1951 as follows: 'The young Liu Shao-chi had worked as a farm labourer for more than ten years. During this time he had suffered from bitter poverty. It was not until the victory of the revolution that he was able to marry and start a family. During the campaign for agricultural reform he was very active and was elected secretary of his village youth league. Once he had received land however he refused to continue working for the Party. When reproached, he replied: "All my life I've been poor. I owned no land. Now I own land, I'm content. There is no need for further revolution".' The Party replied that the revolution had not ye~ ended. The revolution could not be ended until a modern, stable economy had been established without which, despite the land partition, agriculture would once again stagnate.

33

In 1953, when the agrarian revolution was under way that is to say, after the partition of land had taken place, China saw the onset of a violent struggle between the peasants and the KTT. The object of this was the building of a state capitalist economy. Alongside this development there arose also increasing tensions between the workers and the government.

In these two respects, events in China in the fifties resembled events in Russia in the twenties. But events in the two countries were by no means identical. China witnessed nothing like the development of workers' councils or the growth of these tendencies of self-management in the Russian factories which had forced Lenin to adopt the slogan of 'All Power to the Soviets', despite this being in its essence, in opposition to Bolshevik ideology. Nevertheless, similarities can be seen underlying, on the one hand, the decision of the First All-Russian Congress of Councils of National Economy (in May 1918) to the effect that eventual nationalisation of the factories could only be undertaken with the consent of the Supreme Council of National Economy[5*], or the decree of the 10th Party Congress of March 1921 which forbade the further confiscation of enterprises, and, on the other hand, the Chinese measures introduced in September 1949 forbidding even workers in the private sector from striking.

While the Russian proletariat were developing new methods of struggle, the Chinese proletariat were resorting to the classical strike weapon. But in both countries legislation was directed at the self-activity of the workers. Behind the thin facade of the so-called 'dictatorship of the proletariat' could be found, in both countries, the features of capitalism.

34

In both China and Russia there was a contradiction between the claims of the Bolshevik Party and social reality. In relation to the trade unions, this led to a 'discussion' in which the truth was meticulously avoided even when the facts were fairly clear.

In 1952 the Chinese unions were purged of officials who, it was stated, 'allowed themselves to be led too much by the workers', i.e. who 'showed too much concern over the workers living standards', or who 'proved overzealous in ensuring workers' rights'. Meetings were called at which attacks were made on those who 'failed to understand that, while strikes are necessary in a capitalist country, they are superfluous in a socialist state'. A campaign was launched against 'laxity in labour discipline', in much the same tone as Trotsky had used in Russia. General Hou Chi Chen, who had elaborated the new trade union laws, declared: 'It is no longer necessary, as it once was, to struggle for the downfall of capitalism.'

In 1953, at the 7th Congress of Chinese Trade Unions, it was stated that 'the direct and selfish interests of the working class must be subordinated to those of the state'.

Although in China too debate clouded reality, at the 1953 Congress of Trade Unions the truth was stated far more bluntly than it had ever been in Russia.

35

That the Chinese Party could express itself more openly than its Russian counterpart was a direct result of the different situations existing in the two countries. In Russia the realities of Bolshevik ideology had to be more carefully hidden as a result of the more important role played by the working class in that country. After all, the Bolshevik regime in Russia had known a' Workers' Opposition' based on the trade union of metalworkers and an armed proletarian insurrection at Kronstadt.

No such pressures had been put upon the Chinese Bolshevik Party. As a result it had fewer compunctions in dealing with the working class and could consequently allow itself a freer hand in coping with the peasantry. Until the early thirties the Russian Party vacillated between the workers and the peasants, at times acting against one section while giving way to the other. From the beginning of the revolution the Chinese Party could follow a straight line. As a result, it could develop a stronger state capitalist policy in relation to agriculture, and moreover do so at an earlier date.

Global Agrivoltaics Market Market Size, Share, Growth and Forecast 2032

Global Agrivoltaics Market is projected to witness a CAGR of 11.23% during the forecast period 2025-2032, growing from USD 5.01 billion in 2024 to USD 11.73 billion in 2032.

The global agrivoltaics market is experiencing growth due to its ability to address pressing challenges such as land scarcity, food and energy demand, climate change, and water conservation. The rise in government policies, coupled with technological advancements, is fueling the demand for agrivoltaics. Furthermore, the integration of solar energy with agriculture reduces carbon emissions by decreasing dependence on fossil fuels for both energy and farming machinery, which supports a trend of continual market expansion.

Agrivoltaics offers multiple benefits, such as enhancing crop yields through microclimate regulation, reducing water evaporation, and providing protection against extreme weather conditions. It also lowers energy consumption costs, which is beneficial for farmers, and further boosts the demand for solar power in irrigation, refrigeration, and other essential farm operations.

Moreover, technological advancements such as semi-transparent and bifacial solar panels have improved overall system efficiency and adaptability, facilitating adoption across diverse climates and crops. Government incentives and policies also promote renewable energy integration, propelling market growth through subsidies and financing mechanisms that accelerate implementation in regions like Europe, Asia-Pacific, and North America.

The market expansion is further fueled by increasing energy and food demands. Agrivoltaics can be a viable option to address the dual needs of food security and sustainability while contributing to decarbonization. This approach offers a sustainable solution for the future. As awareness and investment grow, agrivoltaics will become essential for integrating agriculture and renewable energy.

For instance, in October 2024, Voltalia announced that its subsidiary Helexia had acquired 28 megawatts of agricultural photovoltaic hangars in France and 202 solar roofs on farm buildings. All of these roofs are operational and benefit from 20-year electricity sales contracts.

Dual Land Use Solutions Driving Growth in the Agrivoltaics Market Share

The demand for agrivoltaics is significantly driven by its ability to address the challenges of dual land use and land scarcity. As the global population continues to rise and urbanization accelerates, the pressure on land resources intensifies, necessitating a balance between agricultural production and renewable energy development. Agrivoltaics systems optimize land use by integrating solar energy production with farming, making it an innovative solution for sustainable development.

By enabling dual land use, agrivoltaics can improve land-use efficiency by up to 60% compared to traditional separate solar installations and agricultural fields. This dual-use approach is particularly valuable in land-constrained regions such as Europe and densely populated countries like India and China.

Moreover, agrivoltaics allows farmers to monetize underutilized or marginal lands, making it a viable strategy for areas facing land degradation or limited arable land. In arid and semi-arid regions, solar panels create shaded microclimates that reduce heat stress on crops and minimize water evaporation, ultimately boosting land productivity. As global energy and food demands rise, the dual land-use capability of agrivoltaics positions it as a vital solution to land scarcity while supporting sustainable agricultural and energy practices.

For instance, in September 2023, Lightstar Renewables commenced development of the Old Myers solar project, New York’s first agrivoltaics dual-use solar farm located in Wappingers Falls. This initiative represents a significant advancement in integrating agriculture with renewable energy. The Old Myers project features a 2 MW community solar installation covering 15 acres, allowing for agricultural production alongside energy generation.

Government Support is Propelling Growth in the Agrivoltaics Market

Government policies and subsidies play a crucial role in accelerating the growth of the global agrivoltaics market by providing financial incentives, regulatory support, and a framework for adoption. This measure addresses the installation costs of agrivoltaics systems and encourages their integration into existing agricultural practices.

In the European Union, the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) promotes dual-use land projects. Under this policy subsidies are provided for renewable energy initiatives that maintain or enhance agricultural productivity. For example, France has implemented specific guidelines to support agrivoltaics which prioritize systems that balance energy generation with crop or live-stock productivity.

Similarly, in India, the PM-KUSUM scheme helps in the expansion of agrivoltaics. The scheme provides subsidies which cover up to 60% of the installation cost which encourage farmers to adopt solar-powered irrigation systems and agrivoltaics projects. The scheme has increased solar energy adoption on farmland which further reduces energy costs for farmers while enhancing sustainability.

Moreover, the United States offers federal tax credits such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which covers a percentage of the cost of renewable energy systems, including agrivoltaics. States like Illinois have launched initiatives like the Shines program, which supports dual-use solar farms that integrate with agricultural operations.

These policies not only lower financial barriers but also provide technical assistance and research funding to improve agrivoltaics technologies.
