In just eight blocks of sidewalk in quiet neighborhood, walking through the not-quite-rain of a sunshower, today I encountered four missing shoe soles. Little pieces of plastic and rubber, detached from pedestrians' shoes, now lonely on the concrete, with the weeds.

No such thing, really, as a "weed", though. "Weed" is not a botanical term. Instead, describes perceived pests, at the discretion of the observer. At the discretion of the authority. Designated as weed by the one with power over that land. The agronomist, the rancher, the plantation manager. The weed wastes space that could otherwise be given to a monoculture cash crop, an "economically significant" plant. The weed interferes with the productivity of the plot of land. The weed interrupts the extraction. The weed diminishes the value. The weed doesn't belong in this place.

People are made to be weeds, too.

Some cities will designate you as a weed, and then they'll take action to pull you out. They'll uproot you. But it's not always explicit, like "we're outlawing loitering" or "we're outlawing taking a nap in the park" or "we're defunding the library". Sometimes it's quite clever, it's written into the physical landscape. Self-congratulatory "progressive" cities learn to co-opt language, to obscure the violence, to use and abuse space.

Thinking about things you might encounter, you might perceive, after you've been destitute, broken, lived at a homeless shelter, for years. Little signs of other peoples' misery. Indicators of desperation that some might overlook. And the way that environment shapes, and is shaped by, these miseries.

A friend asks "why is there always an unusual amount of scuffed detached missing shoe soles on this particular stretch of sidewalk? There are hardly any homes around here, it's all asphalt and empty lots, so where are all these be-shoed people coming from?" Because even though this is a wide expanse without either home residences or any kind of commercial or recreation space someone would want to visit, these blocks are the straight-line direct path between a low-income apartment complex and the cluster of corporate big box stores, and there's no bus line that runs between the two areas. "But don't the vast majority of customers of shopping malls and box stores drive vehicles, hence the obscenely massive parking lots?" Sure, customers drive, but guess who actually has to work at those places? An underclass of people living at that apartment complex with harsh restrictions and cheap amenities, who can't afford car insurance or who might be too physically disabled to bike. And so that apartment complex is a de facto "company town", the residents are essentially in confinement. It is written into that landscape. It can be read. "Why is there always debris, wrappers, coins, etc. in this particular quiet couple of blocks of the boulevard?" Because these blocks are between a thrift store and a same-day drop-in clinic, so many impoverished people will routinely be walking between these two locations. They attend their appointment, and then have forty-five minutes to kill before the bus comes back around, so why not check out the thrift store? The city and county collaborated and placed all the low-income assistance offices on the far side of town, which conveniently forces the poor and disabled to both stay away from the luxurious downtown district and also to waste their time making a four-hour commute, catching various connecting buses or else riding the bikepath, across the city just to attend a ten-minute-long appointment.

Then this spatial layout, this city's physical environment, will shape the physical body. This violence writes itself into the flesh. The way the denim is chafed and discolored on the left shoulder of someone's jacket from carrying a small backpack around by foot, day after day after day. The way someone's heart rate increases when they see a white and black vehicle in the periphery of their vision, subconsciously recollecting institutionalization and institutional abuse, or fearing what a ticket fee would mean for their budget (they might not be able to afford rent). The way someone develops a painful limp, maybe occasionally depends on a cane, because they had to walk great distances every day to get to work and their shoe sole fell off on the sidewalk, but they can't replace the shoes because their employer is underpaying them, and they're forced to stand all day at work anyway, and they already had some modest nerve damage in their foot because they've been rationing their insulin and can't afford their prescriptions, and federal medical insurance keeps denying them because their physical letters in the mail always show up too late or not at all, and groceries are too expensive so it's hard to get good nutrition to heal, but the diabetic nerve damage has by now damaged their digestive tract too so they have a strictly limited bland diet and can't enjoy the simple pleasure of a home-cooked meal (if they can even afford a home, at this point), and all those "little" miseries add up, and now they're hungry, and in pain, because they were forced to walk kinda funny for a long time over all those decaying sidewalks with all those other weeds.

In most city builders the unofficial (sometimes, explicit) goal is to grow your city - get a large amount of money, a large population and large tax income, unlock cool buildings, etc - and, while you can play it that way, the real unofficial goal of Workers & Resources is self-sufficiency.

While in the early game you're necessarily reliant on foreign trade to purchase raw materials, even hire foreign skilled labourers, and depend on exports to make up your currency deficit, the excitement of the game comes about once you fully control all steps of a given production process. You go from importing electricity - to mining, transporting, and refining coal for your own domestic power plants. And that applies to every single resource chain in the game, from bread, to concrete, to railway carriages.

What really sells me on the whole thing is this - in 'realistic' mode, the ability to construct buildings purely from money is removed. You can still import materials and labour, but you need to actually get them there. The process for starting out your city goes like this:

Set up mud tracks (the only free road type) from a border customs office. Build the free versions (which is to say, designated dirt lots) of a construction office, a fuel depot, and a road logistics office. From the border, buy vehicles with cash - cement mixers, dump trucks, asphalt pavers and steamrollers, a bus to bring foreign workers to your construction site, and don't forget a fuel tanker to supply your fuel depot. At this point you have a muddy construction site with some cars parked on it. Start construction on worker housing, the electrical substation for the housing, a water pump and water treatment plant (or, just a water tower to import water into), a small store to feed them - and hopefully it's not cold enough that you need a central heating block. Congrats, now get your construction offices carrying out each individual stage of construction in turn, requiring different resources and vehicles at each part, until, over dozens and dozens of workdays, you've finally built a single worker accomodation. Take in some workers, who are probably a bit annoyed that there aren't any bars or sports complexes around, and you've finally, after months of construction works, got your first residents. Now they need an actual workplace - and, luckily, you've now got a local workforce to construct it. Give it time, and this remote patch of dirt will be constructing nuclear power stations.

I feel like, in the way games like Banished (or, more topically, Manor Lords, I think? I've never played it) turn city-building into a survival game, by just semi-accurately portraying the precarity of a peasant economy, Workers & Resources definitely makes you feel like a stressed planner fighting against production itself, rather than your own citizens, like in Cities Skylines or the like.

the AU where Prime Torino time-travels to the Advent of Quirks era (a time period he did not study for) and picks up two street babies after recognizing one as a miniature AfO

context: Sorahiko's been in the past for less than year. He's been preventing AfO from picking up new Quirks for maybe two weeks, and has dropped off food for the twins a couple of times.

wc: ~1.1k

//

The children stared at Sorahiko with wary eyes, eerily alike for all that they differed in stature and eye color. He didn’t let himself move, save for a tip of his head. The bigger child, the one Sorahiko thought was a young All for One, mimicked him; the smaller boy said in a faltering voice, “Who are you?”

“Call me Torino,” he said. “How about you?”

The smaller boy bit his lip and gave his brother a nervous side-eye. Chibi-AFO ignored him; he only had an unblinking stare for Sorahiko, and truth be told, it was getting irritating. Don’t raise your voice, he heard Shimura chide. 

He sighed, then changed tack. “Did you like the food?” At the clear brightening of the smaller boy’s expression, Sorahiko lifted the plastic bag. The boys were younger than Kotarou, but he had vague memories of Shimura feeding her son soft foods before he turned a year old. Surely steamed vegetables and (slightly) overcooked rice was fine.

Chibi-AFO lurched forward without a sound, one hand outstretched, the other still holding tight to his brother’s wrist.

A curse slipped through Sorahiko’s filter; he dropped the bag and Jetted himself backwards, out of reach but not out of sight. The last thing he wanted was to be chased blindly by some murderous toddler.

The showing of his Quirk, however, sparked something in Chibi-AFO’s eyes. A different kind of hunger--one that apparently required both hands now, as he unceremoniously dropped his brother and doubled down on trying to grab Sorahiko. The smaller boy yelped as spikes burst from Chibi-AFO’s skin, and then showed an incredible lack of self-preservation by trying to intervene.

“No!” he cried. “No, don’t! He’s nice!”

Sorahiko dodged another lunge for his neck. Can I hit him now? he begged the Shimura on his shoulder. I’m justified in knocking him out for his own good, right? That’s how this works?

You can’t hit a baby! Shimura scolded. He doesn’t know any better!

Chibi-AFO, as if to refute Shimura’s sympathies, finally opened his mouth to screech, “GIVE!” He kept springing for Sorahiko with his tiny palms thrust outwards; the spikes on his body rushed unerringly for Sorahiko’s limbs. “GIVE IT!”

“Stop it! Stop!”

How much stamina could a toddler have? More importantly, how long did Sorahiko have until the civilians he’d ushered off the street rang the local police station? Sorahiko, out of sheer curiosity, started leading Chibi-AFO in a circle. It felt criminally easy to maintain a generous distance between himself and the toddler, even as Chibi-AFO grew more desperate and enraged at not having easy prey.

“IT’S MINE!” the toddler snarled, out of breath. “MINE! MINE!” 

Because Sorahiko wasn’t above taunting a baby, he upped the speed on his Jet. Chibi-AFO’s reliance on his spikes to propel him was the toddler’s downfall; as the chase continued, the production output and quality of the spikes diminished, until it was pure spite that powered Chibi-AFO’s bare feet.

The smaller boy had collapsed long ago by the food, gasping, but he seemed like he registered that Sorahiko wasn’t about to die, because he was now spectating with awe-struck eyes.

“Are you done?” said Sorahiko mildly, continuing to deny the toddler any hope of closing the gap. The boy’s face was getting redder, and scrunched-up, and then the funniest thing happened: Chibi-AFO tripped on his makeshift robe, face-planting into the asphalt.

Don’t laugh, Shimura said, in a long ago memory about Kotarou colliding into a glass door.

Chibi-AFO was trembling, every limb shaking. The smaller boy had shot up, renewed concern pushing him to his brother’s side and babbling something unintelligible. Sorahiko stifled the bark of laughter as Chibi-AFO gingerly lifted his head and goggled at the ground, like he couldn’t believe he’d fallen.

“Be nice,” the smaller boy pleaded, frantically patting Chibi-AFO’s shoulders. “Don’t, don’t, be nice.”

A tiny, minuscule drop of pity collected at the pit of his stomach. Sorahiko made the executive decision to sacrifice his cape, unpinning it from his suit and dropping the heavy fabric onto the boys before going to fetch the food. They startled at the sudden weight, but the smaller boy could only squeak and Chibi-AFO, thoroughly exhausted, could only twitch.

“Let’s try this again,” said Sorahiko dryly. He popped the plastic lids of the styrofoam containers and stuck spoons into two of them, situated both in front of the children, and took his own seat a full meter away. “I’m Torino. How’s the food?”

Huddled under his cape, the smaller boy looked bewilderedly from him to the food, and back again. “Um…!”

“Not hungry,” said Chibi-AFO.

“... Alright. You two have names?”

“No,” said Chibi-AFO, sullen. “Go ‘way.”

As tempting as it was, Sorahiko took a measured breath and let out a controlled exhale. “No. You’re hurting people being out here, and I can help you. Food, and a place to sleep. Do you understand me?”

The smaller boy fiddled with a handful of Sorahiko’s cape. Tentatively, he asked, “Safe?”

Chibi-AFO repeated, in the same tone as before, “No.”

At some point, Sorahiko thought, you really couldn’t justify letting a toddler steer the conversation. He considered his options, and responded to the smaller boy first. “Yes, it’s safe. I won’t hurt you, or him. I just can’t let him hurt anyone else.”

A small hum, and then: “Okay. We go.”

“No!” Chibi-AFO protested, and finally pushed himself up, wincing. Tears pooled at the corners of his eyes, but Sorahiko would place a bet that they were purely reflexive. “No, I’m safe! He’s bad! He hurt me!”

“You hurt you,” the smaller boy sniffed.

The murderous intent flashed on Chibi-AFO’s face again, and Sorahiko hastily stepped in before more blood was shed. He snapped his fingers in front of the toddler. A malformed spike, sloppy in execution and sluggish in timing, tried to pierce Sorahiko’s hand and dissipated before he could even recoil. Exhaustion! Finally! 

“Go ‘way,” the toddler demanded.

Sorahiko simply leaned his cheek against his fist, propping his elbow on his knee. Either Chibi-AFO would recover and try for a second time to steal Jet, or he would pass out. There wasn’t any point trying to reason with the brat.

The smaller boy patted Chibi-AFO’s shoulders, but he too went quiet. Eventually, Chibi-AFO slumped flat to the ground again, and his slurred orders dwindled to a faint burbling snore. That was Sorahiko’s cue to creak upright, crouch down, and ask the smaller boy in a serious tone, “Can I pick you up?”

The kid looked at the food.

“I have more at home.”

“... Okay,” he said softly, and in swift order, Sorahiko resituated his cape so it swaddled Chibi-AFO, took him up on one arm, and hoisted the smaller boy in his other arm. There was that squeak again, and a nervous clutching at his flight suit, but Sorahiko’s attention was on thinking about the route back to his apartment.

It would be easier on the kid’s nerves if he walked, but the Meta X gangs were too troublesome to bother with tonight.

“Hold tight,” Sorahiko muttered, and Jetted for the rooftops.

Making my own post to respond to this, because the point is pretty tangential:

When I first played stardew valley there was something I found really dissonant. You start in this shitty company that's implied to be cold and isolating and treats you as a a cog in a machine, and you inherit this idyllic and pastoral farm. So far so good. But then immediately you set about on trying to upgrade the farm and make it efficient and extract as much value from the land as quickly as you can. You clear cutt large sections of land and replace them with cash crops. You turn the land and the town into a well-oiled machine, just as your previous job had done to you. This process of upgrading and increasing efficiency is the central form of progress in the game.

Obviously the game never really addresses dissonance, but I really wish there was a game that did. I wish that the back half of the game turned into something like Factorio as you seek to automate more and more of your production so you can buy the late-game upgrades. Gradually these changes affect the town as well, people start to move away because of the smog, and you can buy up their land to have a place to put your new combine harvester.

One of the characters is a philosophy grad student studying Heidegger who's home for the summer, and she talks to the player about his theory of technology. Where modern technology is powerful enough that it's actually feasible to use of 100% of an existing resource, and so we start thinking about that resource in terms of how to most efficiently extract value from it. We objectify it, in a sense -- a river can't be a beautiful ribbon of blue stretching across the countryside, because we can only think of it in terms of "the thing that powers hydroelectric plant" and think about how to maximally utilize it. And the player slowly realizes that they've carried this mindset back with them from the city. That the dehumanizing aspects of their old life were never about the skyscrapers and asphalt, but about the way that their superiors viewed them as a resource, and the way that their environment facilitating efficient use of them as a resource. And that they've carried this attitude back to the idyllic country town where it's now spread like a virus, destroying all the things that drew them to the farm in the first place, and that they now live in a hell of their own making. They restore the community center, but they've destroyed the community it was made for. The only way to avoid this ending is to deliberately refuse to upgrade past a certain point. To accept that certain end-game content is forever out of reach, and to be okay with that.

now to be clear, I don't actually endorse all the politics implied by this. But I think it would be interesting for a game to actually grapple with the kind of pastoralism thats common in this genre. This flavor of pastoralism has fundamental tradeoffs against efficiency and reduction of labor. And I think if you want to endorse this ideal, that's a bullet you have to bite.

“Dirty hands, clean money”

Organic farmers in Altamira are working to change the culture of a region where many people think nothing of using pesticides to kill weeds and insects. As well as the fight against entrenched attitudes, they face economic and climate challenges

Organic farmers in Altamira are working to change the culture of a region where many people think nothing of using pesticides to kill weeds and insects. As well as the fight against entrenched attitudes, they face economic and climate challenges

Sebastião Heraldo Lira Gomes has done a bit of everything, from soiling his hands in the yellow mud of Brazil’s gold-mining regions to digging in the black soil of a vegetable garden. In his 45 years, he has worked for construction and asphalting companies, at brick plants, and even as a gold prospector. In the mines, his life once hung by a thread when he was digging branches out of the mud to clean off material to be mined. An alarmed co-worker pointed to a mountain of tailings and shouted a warning: “The barrier is going to collapse.” It did, and Sebastião narrowly escaped. He told this story while planting a row of lettuce seedlings in his organic garden in Altamira, a city in southwestern Pará.

“Mining is an adventure. You head out not knowing whether you’ll come back,” Sebastião says. He survived the dangers but never returned to the mines. Born on a small farm on Bacabal, an island in the Xingu River, Sebastião grew up helping his family plant rice, beans, corn, and cassava. Until the age of 25, he followed in his parents’ footsteps, but then he moved to Altamira, where he held a number of jobs. In 2021, at the suggestion of his wife, Alderene, 51, he left mining and decided to make farming a source of income, hoping to enjoy the security of working on his own land while being close to his family.

When he contacted the Pará state rural extension agency Emater, the agent Joabe dos Santos asked him, “Why don’t you plant organic produce?” Sebastião didn’t even know what organic food was. His family had never used pesticides on their crops. Indigenous peoples, Beiradeiros, and other traditional communities in the Amazon have always planted without relying on these poisons.

Organic farming emerged as a response to the growing application of pesticides and fertilizers on European crops following World War I (1914-1918). The practice aims to keep agricultural activities in balance with Nature through the adoption of modern production techniques and the responsible use of water and soil. Organic farming rejects chemical fertilizers and transgenic seeds, which have been modified to resist drought, pests, and pesticides. This approach to agriculture also strives to forge an environment of social justice and respect for both human labor and the more-than-human world.

this morning i saw the city.

i was walking to the bus stop, eyes half-closed against the driving rain and endless too-bright headlights, when i accidentally looked sideways through a crack in the pavement.

for a moment i could see it all.

the city's skin was made of asphalt, with folds where it went over hills, dry and cracking in some places, newly healed in others. the roadworkers up ahead were part of the immune system, putting stitches in the city's skin, leaving pebbled scabs and painted line scars behind.

the houses and shops, rising tall or short and squat, were tiny hairs, sensitive to the slightest movement. the larger structures, the bridges and arenas and skyscrapers, were moles and callouses. the fences and streetlamps formed the little textured dots and pores that i could feel when i ran the pad of my index finger down the inside of my arm.

and the humans, well — the humans and other animals were the lifeblood of the city, moving water and oxygen and hemoglobin from place to place in each day-long heartbeat, releasing waste products into the air and waters and streets to be carried away by the cleaners and garbage collectors of the city's gastrointestinal system.

i stood there, staring, until my eyes began to hurt with the effort of seeing, and i blinked, and the vision disappeared.

i could still see it, though, behind my eyes, as i walked along the footpath stretch mark, and past the textured pores of street signs, and waited under the shelter of the hair follicle of a bus stop. beside the bus stop, I saw a little patch of yellow dandelions, barely staying alive despite the rain.

they were just plants, rooted in a dirty smudge upon the city's skin. nothing more.

i felt immensely sad all of a sudden, and i tried to look sideways at the dirt, too, from a different angle. i couldn't work it out, and then my bus arrived, and i lost the vision entirely. perhaps, though, that was for the best.

Why Rajasthan Tops as the Best Hydrated Lime Manufacturer in India

Introduction

Rajasthan, often referred to as the land of minerals, has carved a unique identity in India's lime industry. As demand grows for quality hydrated lime in infrastructure, metallurgy, and chemical sectors, Rajasthan emerges as the frontrunner, thanks to its abundant natural resources and advanced manufacturing capabilities. This blog delves into the reasons why Rajasthan dominates as the hub of hydrated lime manufacturers in India, with a special focus on industries seeking premium lime for asphalt and the role of the best limestone manufacturers in powering this growth.

1. Geographical Advantage and Rich Mineral Deposits

One of the primary reasons Rajasthan is a leader in hydrated lime production is its vast natural limestone reserves. Districts such as Nagaur, Jodhpur, and Udaipur are known for their high-purity limestone, which forms the foundation for producing top-grade hydrated lime.

The availability of raw material in close proximity not only reduces transportation costs but also allows manufacturers to maintain consistent quality—a critical requirement for industries relying on premium lime for asphalt or chemical processing.

2. Advanced Manufacturing Infrastructure

Over the years, Rajasthan has witnessed rapid industrial development, especially in the lime sector. Many of the best limestone manufacturers in the country have set up cutting-edge production facilities here. These plants are equipped with modern kilns, automated hydration systems, and quality control labs that ensure superior product consistency.

Companies in Rajasthan adopt environmentally friendly practices and energy-efficient technologies, helping them stay compliant with both Indian and international standards. This focus on quality makes Rajasthan a go-to destination for hydrated lime manufacturers in India blog searches.

3. Skilled Workforce and Industrial Experience

With decades of experience in lime production, Rajasthan's workforce has become highly skilled in the processes of calcination and hydration. From quarry management to final packaging, every step is handled by professionals trained to meet the stringent demands of industries like asphalt mixing, construction, and metallurgy.

This experience adds another layer of reliability, particularly when supplying premium lime for asphalt, where precision in chemical composition and particle size is vital for road durability and strength.

4. Quality That Meets Global Standards

Hydrated lime from Rajasthan is well-regarded for its high calcium content, low impurities, and fine texture. This makes it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications including water treatment, flue gas desulfurization, steel manufacturing, and road construction.

Many hydrated lime manufacturers in India, particularly from Rajasthan, now export to markets in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa. The reputation for high-quality products has been a game-changer for buyers seeking consistent and reliable supply.

5. Strategic Location and Excellent Logistics

Rajasthan’s location provides easy access to both northern and western parts of India. The robust road and rail connectivity ensure faster delivery times and reduced transit damage. For industries relying on bulk supplies of hydrated lime—such as cement, steel, or asphalt contractors—this logistical convenience adds immense value.

Leading hydrated lime manufacturers in India from Rajasthan also offer customized packaging and bulk delivery services, further cementing their reputation among national and international clients.

6. Application of Premium Lime in Asphalt

One of the fastest-growing applications of hydrated lime is in asphalt road construction. Premium lime for asphalt is used to enhance adhesion, reduce stripping, and improve durability of pavements. Rajasthan-based manufacturers offer hydrated lime with ideal moisture content and chemical purity tailored for this specific application.

Their lime acts as an anti-stripping agent, binding the bitumen to the aggregate more effectively and significantly extending the life of roads—especially in India’s extreme weather conditions.

7. Supportive Government Policies

Rajasthan’s state government has long supported the growth of the lime industry by offering incentives like subsidies on equipment, access to mineral leases, and streamlined licensing processes. These policies have helped local businesses scale their operations and invest in research and development.

As a result, manufacturers in the state continue to innovate and diversify their offerings to cater to evolving industry needs—from construction-grade lime to high-end applications such as food processing and pharmaceuticals.

8. Rising Export Opportunities

With India being a cost-effective manufacturing destination, Rajasthan-based hydrated lime companies are increasingly looking beyond domestic markets. Thanks to their scale, quality, and pricing, these companies are becoming preferred partners for international buyers looking for large volumes of premium lime for asphalt and other industrial applications.

Customs-friendly policies at ports like Kandla and Mundra—both easily accessible from Rajasthan—further facilitate smooth exports.
