#accidental sustainability

[xanderisrotting]

For the past year and a half, my friend and I have been using the same 2 plastic lined gift bags back and forth. I give him a gift in the bag, then later he gives me another gift in the same bag. It’s a fun gesture between us, and I just realized how accidentally sustainable it is

Being part of a fire spinning club is one of the things that helped me get into making more sustainable fashion choices because it got me in the habit of checking my garments to make sure they were 100% natural materials or as close to that as possible.

Computational design on the Biorock Pavilion:

Excerpt from Dezeen article:

The Biorock Pavilion is a concept for an amphitheatre-like event space that could be grown underwater. The form of the building is based on that of a seashell, as well as mathematical forms.

The basis of the pavilion would be a skeletal structure comprised of a network of very thin steel rods, which would be immersed in a solution of minerals.

It would be grown by electrodeposition of minerals

An electric current would then be run through the steel skeleton, allowing the remainder of the pavilion to be 'grown' as the minerals calcify atop the base structure.

"It takes those minerals out of the seawater and produces a structure similar to reinforced concrete," stated Pawlyn. "This uses an absolute minimum of material to grow a whole building."

My professor was demonstrating Adobe's Project Neo and unenthusiastically showed us the AI integration. (He was working in a 3D rendering program AND streaming Discord on a fucking MacBook)

And he lost the ability to use his keyboard.

And I said, "That's what happens when you use AI"

And he said, "yeaahhh... probably"

I'm curious as to how well known these services are outside of ag communities.

The food distribution thing may or may not be less well-known because it is typically done through a government service or non-profit, but not always! And it is a service lots of small farm owners are doing.

The cat is maybe still a little insecure about our new place and has now decided that she sleeps under the covers in between us, instead of over and off to the side 🥺

I'm very glad I got fully obsessed with Roman history because if I didn't have something to keep me going that is purely intellectual I would be 100% picking up a vice or something.

the context of the original alistair rose scene is that it’s presumably a wild rose bush that is found remarkably persistent and beautiful in the midst of all the darkness and horror of the blight

the context of the new rose scene in my fic is that it’s a rose in a garden that’s been tended to, cared for, that survival is not contingent on sticking it out alone but in being supported and loved
