The River Jordan and Sweetpea are electric engines on the first railway on Mars.

River Jordan was the first one built, being the product of a collaboration between the nations who established the colony.

Sweetpea was donated by a coronal aerospace guild and assembled onsite. Her parts were imported and her blueprints were crownmade, so her visage is coronal.

Visage and the nature of living transport

Engines take the image of their creators. Their faces are not organic, and are more like a vessel for helpful senses and communication tools.

They come alive soon after they are built, once out of eyeshot for any moment. Attempts to stare at a new engine to see it stir are foiled somehow (blinks, saccades, CCTV malfunction, momentary lapse in attention). Not all engines come alive, as their animacy is often (but not always) decided by the intent of the builder.

Living engines can assess their circumstances and make judgements based on them. They are useful in volatile situations as an expert second opinion on conduct and design, and are capable of sensing external and internal problems quickly.

In calmer periods, they may not get adequate stimulation, and their personalities may interfere with their efficiency. For this reason, railways have their preferences when they build and purchase engines.

The facial material ends at the surface of the machine and is inscrutable in composition—the material appears to be made of itself, and is unusable for any other purpose besides as an engine’s interface with the world. If damaged, the material heals. If removed, it disappears. The conceptual self-referentiality of engines’ faces, souls, and senses deter scrutiny.

Living machines exist as a fact of the universe. Their animacy is cloaked in an analysis-averting antimeme.

Human Engines

Engines designed and built by humans possess dual-pinhole pupils that dilate into an elliptical shape, granting them a broad field of view and tolerance of rapid changes in light levels (such as in going in and out of tunnels). Deep set zygomata allow them to look directly to their sides, and with the dual-pinhole setup, they maintain some depth perception in monocular sight. Their pupil shapes are hidden by their black irises, which absorb glare. They can see clearly to their front and sides, but can’t see up or down very well. A tapetum lucidum retroreflects incoming light back through their retinas, granting them vision in darkness. The nictitating membranes and long eyelashes protect the eyes from dust.

The chemicals engines are capable of detecting are relevant to their purpose, e.g. distinguishing coal, gasoline, diesel, and wood fires from their smoke but not being able to distinguish or detect food smells. Similar to how cats, obligate carnivores, have lost their ability to taste sugar due to its absence in their diet, but can taste ATP for its presence in meat—engines can parse environmental and industrial scents, but will have wildly varied responses to food and fragrant compounds, often being unable to notice them.

To investigate an aroma, they slightly lower their bottom lip to take air into their vomeronasal organ located behind the upper incisors.

Engines do not require oxygen, but if debris enters the nasal passage, human engines will sneeze to:

Ensure their voice resonates properly,

Keep their olfactory facilities clean, and

Indicate to engineers that particle buildup may have occurred in other places, such as the boiler tubes for steam engines.

Crown Engines

Just as the tongue is the only colored object on a human engine’s face for distinguishability, so are the teeth on coronal engines. The positions of the upper and lower jaw indicate tone, functioning in communication similarly to eyebrows.

Coronal engine eyes consist of an armored cornea surrounded by a cuticle and muscular eyelid. The cornea moves with the help of the embedded eyestalk supporting it. The cuticle is lubricated with an oil-based film and is less susceptible to irritation than the aqueous solution on human engine eyes. The undersides of the eyelids and surface of the cornea are covered in setae, preventing chafing and reducing airflow on the cornea. The hairs catch debris and are combed out by the lids with a puckering motion.

To make up for unenhanced vision by human engine standards, coronal engine hearing is advanced, allowing the listener to pinpoint sound sources through triangulation of the four inner ears. Coronal engines, too, channel sound through their incisors and into their internal ears via the acoustic windows at the hinge of each jaw.

Coronal engines achieve their sense of industrial smell through the gustatory papillae that line their choana and pharynx. They supplement their olfaction by introducing cool air behind the heat pits inside their nares.

Coronal engines’ thermoception is more efficient than living crowns, as coronal engines’ faces do not produce heat nearly proportional to their mass.

Conversely, the tines heat up significantly hotter than the crown average for unambiguity in temperature tones. The origin of the tine thermal energy appears to be redirected from excess produced by the machinery, or from the face’s temperature directly.

Extramodal senses

Engines are capable of listening from within their cabs with greater acuity than mere conduction of sound through the body would suggest. Other unsubstantiated sensory abilities include:

Discernment of water/fuel quality within the framework of taste though intake alone

Somatosensory awareness in the entire body, not just the face

So you're worried about losing power in the winter- to buy list for when you can't buy a whole generator.

1. A propane tent heater. Mr. Buddy brand is considered very safe.

https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Heater-F232000-Indoor-Safe-Portable/dp/B002G51BZU/

Have extra propane cannisters on hand if possible. This is an expensive buy compared to the rest of the list, but...so worth it. These have a low oxygen fail safe, so carbon monoxide is a low risk, but I wouldn't sleep *right* up next to it, and would put it near a door, just as an extra precaution.

2. A jet boil or other small water boiler/camp stove and fuel. Loss of power for a whole city will almost always trigger a water boil notice.

Fancy one: https://a.co/d/jiElZbj

Cheaper one: https://a.co/d/j8YM6fx

Make sure you have fuel and have lighters to turn them on. Use these in a well ventilated area and only for short periods. Do not use them for a heat source for a long period of time. They can pose a carbon monoxide risk.

3 hot hands chemical hand warmers. https://a.co/d/2u4DSHG

4. No-prep shelf stable food (protein bars are good. Granola bars. Pop tarts. Tuna packs and crackers. Peanut m and ms. Calories that you can consume without power and without water.)

5. Bottled water.

6. Dry shampoo, baby wipes, mouth wash. If this goes on for days, you'll appreciate being able to feel a little clean.

If you lose power for an extended period in the cold: move all people, animals, and supplies into 1 room (ideally adjoining a bathroom.) Cover any windows with towels and extra blankets. If you have one, a small tent that you can sleep in, set up in that room will further reduce the air your body is trying to warm. The goal is to reduce the volume of space/air you have to keep warm. Layer your clothes, but be careful of sweat. Sweating will make you colder in the long run.

DO NOT try to use a gas stove to stay warm- these are a carbon monoxide risks. We lost a lot of people in the Texas freeze last time to carbon monoxide. Please be careful.

What are Infused Oils?

What are they?

Infused oils are herbal components or spices placed in a jar of carrier oil like Olive Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Avacado Oil, Jojoba Oil, Coconut Oil, etc. Can be used in cooking, herbal ailments and skincare.

Are they essential oils?

No. Short answer, no. Long answer? I'll give you an explanation. Essential oils are distilled using Steam Distillation, Solvent Extraction, CO2 Extraction, Maceration, Enfleurage, Cold Press Extraction, and or Water Distillation. Lotta words huh? It takes a lot of work to make essential oils. Unfortunately, it also takes quite a bit of that plant to make even those tiny 10ml bottles you purchase. Of course, each plant varies. However, it still can lead to a larger environmental impact.

For instance, one pound of essential oil can be extracted from approximately 250 pounds of rosemary leaves, or from 150 pounds of lavender buds, or say 50 pounds of eucalyptus leaves. This is why you see some as more expensive than others. Unfortunately, you can see where the problem lies in plants that are more threatened or endangered. If you must use essential oils, source responsibly (and not from a Pyramid scheme but I'm not opening that can of worms)

Can I use infused oils in my practice?

Yes! Absolutely! All these oil recipes you see for spell oils are exactly that. You can even use the elemental correspondences of the carrier oils you use for spell oils. As an example Olive Oil is traditionally known for the fire element and Coconut Oil is water. The possibilities for your personal correspondence are endless!

Now I'll stop rambling. Here are a few methods I learned to infuse oils in my courses and through self-herbalist study.

Method One:

The Folk Method - The most common

Directions

Place DRIED herbs in a clean, dry jar. Leave at least 1 to 3 inches of open space above your herbs to cover with oil.

Fill the remaining space in the jar with the oil of your choice, making sure to cover herbs by at least 1 inch or more. If the herbs emerge above the surface of the oil at any point while infusing, pour more oil on top to ensure the herbs remain covered.

Cap the jar tightly and shake well.

Place the jar in a sunny, warm windowsill and shake once or more per day.

After 2 to 3 weeks, strain the herbs out of the oil using cheesecloth or a mesh strainer. Or you can leave it in but straining is recommended if you are using dropper bottles as it clogs the caps.

Pour into clean glass bottles.

Remember to label your jars with the date, type of oil, and herbs used! You WILL forget! Trust me.

Store in a cool, dark place. The oil may keep for up to a year.

Method Two:

The Heat Infused Method - Quick Infusion

Directions

Place herbs in the crock pot or double boiler. Cover with extra virgin olive oil (or other carrier oil of choice), leaving at least an inch or two of oil above the herbs. 

Gently heat the herbs over very low heat (preferably between 100° and 140° F for 1 to 5 hours, until the oil takes on the colour and scent of the herb. Some recommend heating the oil for 48 to 72 hours at a controlled temperature of 100° F. Turn off the heat and allow it to cool. I personally prefer letting it sit in a crock pot for 72 hours as I feel like I get all of the benefits out of the herb.

Once oil is cooled, strain using cheesecloth.

Bottle in dry, sterilized glass bottles. LABEL your bottles with the date and contents before storing them.

Store in a cool, dark, dry place for up to six months.

Best herbs to infuse in oil

There are a countless number of herbs, spices and resins that can be infused into the oil. Please make sure these herbs are free from pesticides and chemicals (not found on the roadside). Dried herbs work best as you don't want your mixture spoiling sooner. Here are some great examples of herbs to use.

Pine needles

Calendula flowers

Chamomile flowers

Lavender

Lemon balm

Peppermint leaf

Rosemary leaf

Thyme leaf

There you have it! Now have fun and source responsibility.

Happy witching!

We recently got a 'Trick or Treat' ask, unfortunately I can not reply to it, but here is your treat random citizen,

A statement.

Tw for paranoia and death :)

NATHAN

Statement of Susan Frost, regarding a summer job. Original statement given September 5th, 2018. Audio recording by Nathan Beckett, Head Archivist of the [static] Institute, London.

NATHAN (STATEMENT)

Right, so I had this job. Lifeguard. I know, can you get any more stereotypical for a summer job? But it paid decently, and I thought hey, if I had to work all summer at least I'd get free access to the pool.

The training was fine. I mean, it was stressful but not anything out of the ordinary. We learned how to do CPR and how to get people out of the water safely, all the things you’d expect. The first week rolled around and all the lifeguards settled into the routine. Being a lifeguard is about 75% just staring at the water. The other 25% is not saving people, it's cleaning up the locker rooms or checking the chemicals or telling people they can't smoke on pool grounds. It's only 1% of the time you actually have to get into the water to help somebody.

So, yeah by the end of the first week any mystery or magic was gone.

At the start of the summer everyone wanted a ton of hours, myself included. We all quickly learned that the opening shift was a snooze fest. Closing shift wasn't much better. There were always two or three people who would drag their feet and pretend not to understand that we were closing.

Technically, we all worked for the city, but I was stationed out at East End Park. It was small and pretty far out there. We had enough people to keep it open, but every other pool in the city was more popular and better equipped than ours. Plus, we were an outdoor pool which meant it was a little too hot, or a little too cold, and if the stars weren't in the right position, the boiler would shut off overnight. The job sucked. Half the time you were sitting there absolutely baking in the sun because there wasn't a single bit of shade. The other half, you were practically frozen. I cannot count the number of times I opened the pool and had to fish some piece of trash out of the water. And that's not even getting into the bugs or the animals that would try to climb the fence.

It still wouldn't have been that bad of a job but, well...

It was the middle of June when things went off. I was on the opening shift, getting up at 5 AM so the retirees could be in the pool at six. There's technically two pools at East End; the lap pool, and the leisure pool. But the leisure pool wasn't opened until 10, maybe for budgeting or something, whatever the reason it meant that only two Lifeguards needed to be present before 9:45.

So, there I was, half-asleep, walking back and forth so I didn't start shivering when this woman came out of the locker rooms. There were maybe two other people in the water. Both of them regulars, and older, and I knew they could swim, so I started watching this new woman.

She wasn't exactly attractive. Even that early in the summer I'd seen plenty of people in swimming suits. It loses the lure fast. I remember she had a swimming cap, and goggles with tinted lenses. Her swimsuit was a black one-piece, more sporty than fashionable. She started doing laps, and she had pretty good form so I figured there wouldn't be any problems.

Then I saw her tattoo.

There were a pair of photorealistic eyes tattooed onto the back of her neck. I think maybe it was supposed to be a joke, or a play on words. I never actually got the chance to ask. I was working, and she was in the water. She was doing the breaststroke, head barely lifting enough to breathe, barely even causing a ripple in the water. And with every lap, every stroke, those eyes looked at me from the back of her neck.

I never saw her eyes. I don't know if she was actually part of it or if I just started noticing it after that. Maybe I just made it up after the fact, but... I don't know... It felt like there was a key in a lock, and after that it had been turned.

Like I said, most of lifeguarding is watching, and it's the watching that people expect. You don't talk to people; you don't have to be friendly. You need to be an authority figure. When I was guarding it was my pool, my zone, my swimmers.

I started taking extra shifts. I said I needed the money, and I did, but not that much, you know? Anyway, it was the middle of summer at that point. A ton of people took a week off in July and someone needed to cover for them. And there I was, willing to take any shift and always on time and never complained…

I knew the regulars by that point. The old women with flabby arms, who bobbed along during the water aerobics class. The old men with their receding hairlines who came and sat in the hot tub as if they were pretending to be Russian mafia.

There was one person, a young woman, maybe 13 or 14. Dark hair that had been buzzed short. She would always bounce around in the water, splashing like she was four years old and had just discovered bath toys. She wore this smile, and I could tell there wasn't a single thought behind her eyes.

There was a retired man, probably military. He had a white scar across one shoulder and onto his back. It took me a while to notice it. I noticed his bad form first. He'd show up in the mornings, dedicated to the routine, but that arm always swung wide, breaking the pattern.

Teenagers would show up sometimes. There was this pair of boys who showed up on one of our down days. We couldn't open the leisure pool because of a chemical imbalance, but they decided to swim anyway. They shared one lane and fooled around for a few minutes. One of them joked about pants-ing the other one. Then they tried to do a lap.

You can tell when someone doesn't know how to swim, or even if they do and just haven't done it in a while. I remember standing over those two and thinking that I was so much better than them. How I could see all the flaws in their strokes. How they kept needing to stop and push off the wall or the bottom if they were on the shallow end.

As a lifeguard it was my responsibility to watch them. They were the ones with the highest chance of drowning and there were only three other people in the pool. They would have gotten a fifth of my attention even if I hadn't singled them out.

Eventually I had a talk with my manager. I was bumping up against 35 hours a week and they wanted to warn me I couldn't go over 39 because I was a part timer, and they appreciated the hard work but what hours did I want to focus on, and didn't I want to enjoy my summer?

It felt like an attack, but I knew he could cut off my access to the pool, so I nodded along and agreed. And in the back of my mind I started thinking about ways to stay at the pool, when I wasn't on shift.

I was already working mornings, so I stuck around. I just didn't change out of my uniform. I walked around the deck, and looked at the water and did little things, like put away kick boards. It wasn't as good as actual guarding.

There was this corner, around one side of the building. You couldn't really see it from the office, so people sometimes went over there if they wanted to sneak a cigarette. It was a problem early in the summer. It stopped being a problem when I started standing there after my shift. I did nothing, I just stood there, in uniform, and looked out at the water. But that wasn't as good either. It was too far from the pool, and I couldn't see past the slide.

Then things changed again at the end of July. Our manager went on maternity leave and a manager from another pool took over. They were young and didn't know half the systems and the other half they knew from a different pool. Between that and the gaps in the schedule, I could get around them easier.

By that point I was showing up for the morning shift even when I wasn't scheduled. Then I'd rotate in halfway through the middle shift so someone else could get lunch and when the late shift came on, I'd clean until we needed to change the lane lines. Changing the lane lines was a lot easier with another person, but it always happened right when someone needed to rotate, so I stepped in and let the other person get back to their phone.

I had quiet conversations in ones and twos with the other guards. They all thought that I was dealing with something at home and that it was easier for me to be at the pool. Nothing serious, nothing that would get the cops or social services involved, just a fight with my parents or my sister constantly bringing her boyfriend over or my brother using the garage to practise with his band and causing a racket.

I don't have any siblings.

Then I figured out the swap system with the log-in machine.

We had this machine that we used to log in and out. It was old and clunky as hell. We each got a code and had to type it in when we got there and then again when we left. Giving out your code wasn't something anyone did because then they could pull pranks and log you out in the middle of your shift and no one would know until payday. But there were a bunch of manager codes, and one day our new junior manager left the manual out.

One code in particular, was for if you put in the wrong code. It reassigned logged hours to a different user. So I quietly let it be known that if I wasn't on the schedule, I'd take someone else's shift and then reassign it to them. It worked best for morning and middle shifts since the other lifeguard could put in their code without actually telling me, but a few lazy guys who normally pulled the evening shift flat out texted me their codes so I could swap with them.

Just like that I was working every shift, basically every day. I had to be careful. I had to work around the manager and still do all the other stuff like checking the chemicals and cleaning the changing rooms, but I got to watch the water. That was what mattered to me.

Looking back, I know it sounds like a lot. Working from 5am to 7pm basically 7 days a week. I shouldn’t have been able to keep that up, even as a teenager, and somebody should have definitely been fired. The Thing is, I needed it.

You’re probably thinking I was on drugs.. It might make sense if I was on something.

I wasn’t.

The guarding itself was my drug. It didn’t matter if there were 50 people in the pool or four. It didn’t matter if they were old or young, if they knew how to swim, or had to hang onto the sides. All that mattered was that I could watch them, all their imperfections and bad habits, the moles and bug bites and overlapping tan lines. Seeing them, cataloguing them, it was meat and drink to me. I still ate, I carried my water bottle everywhere, but that was part of the disguise. A way to keep everyone else content and not asking questions, stopping me from doing what I needed to do.

When I wasn’t guarding I was asleep, or on my way to or from the pool. That’s all there was. I know I must have talked to my parents, told them something, but I don’t have the faintest memory of it.

I think it would have kept going like that, at least until the end of the season, but I beat the odds before that happened.

That’s not quite the saying. The lifeguards used to say ‘we beat the odds’ when they went a full week with no one needing to be rescued. But that isn’t how I use it.

It was morning, and it was a cold one. It felt like fall. Mist or steam hovering a foot off the water. Streetlights casting hatch mark shadows through the chain-link fence.

My partner that morning was Doug Therman. He met my eye as we clocked in.

He asked to trade. I nodded; it wasn’t even a question for me.

What he meant was did I want to be the active guard for him doing the opening checklist. Regulations say you need to rotate guards out at least every half hour, preferably every 15 minutes if there are enough people. With our agreement I’d be out there on my own until nine when a manager showed up. The pool opened at 5:30.

So I headed out and Doug did whatever he was going to do. A pair of regulars showed up. They talked about how brisk it was and got down to it. I settled in. It was like I could breathe again. It felt like that every morning, like I wasn't really there until I had my guard tube in my hands, standing over the water.

The guy showed up maybe an hour later. Still early enough that it was cold. Early enough that only the really dedicated swimmers would come to the pool, and our normal crowd had already come and gone. I was watching empty water. It wasn't as satisfying as watching when somebody was in the pool, but I wasn't about to go into the garden room even if it was technically allowed.

This guy was average in a lot of ways, Middle-aged, going bald, slightly overweight. My eyes landed on him as soon as he came out of the locker room. He had a towel around his neck and was picking at the end, twisting the fibres. His eyes kept darting around, nervous little twitches like a rabbit that smelled a fox nearby. His eyes landed on me for a moment, before sliding away again. I was something he expected. Something in me was pleased with that. That he hadn't recognized what I was, the threat I posed.

He took his time getting into the water. First, he found a little cubby for his towel, hesitating over where exactly to put it down. He went through our small collection of kick boards that hadn't been damaged or stolen yet that summer. Eventually he picks one, glancing around as if someone would reprimand him for it. He eased into the lap pool slowly, one step at a time, the kickboard hugged against his chest, other hand white knuckled on the guardrail.

He settled a bit when he was finally in the water. The man took a breath, did some stretches, then with one last look around he kicked off the wall. He wasn't a great swimmer, but he wasn't the worst I'd seen either. Unlike some people he didn't push for speed right away. A part of me was content to watch, but there was something else… something about this guy, this stranger made me want to push.

Part of what they teach lifeguards is to change position every five minutes. If you've been sitting down, then stand up. If you are standing up, stroll back and forth.

Another thing they teach you is to close the distance between you and someone who is at high risk as long as it doesn't block you from part of your area.

I started to pace. It wasn't hard to walk at the same speed the guy was swimming. I matched him, one end of the pool to the other, eyes always on him. He didn't notice immediately, but when he did, it was obvious. He got twitchy, well, more twitchy. When he got to the end of his lap he fidgeted, adjusting his swim cap and obviously not looking at me while trying to see what I was doing.

On another day I would've played it off. I would've kept walking, broken the pattern between us. Maybe stretch out a bit or drink some water, something to make it seem like it was just a coincidence. But on that morning I kept watching, eyes fixed on him from behind dark sunglasses.

I needed to see what would happen next.

I was looking right at him when the heart attack started. I assume it was a heart attack. That's what the EMT said later. It felt like more than that, but I'm not the one who died.

He died, and I watched it happen. I saw him go pale, and shaking as it came up to touch his chest. I saw him clutch at the wall, knees giving out as he slid sideways into the water. I saw him try to stand up, coughing and sputtering. His eyes were fixed on me as he splashed about. He was only 5 feet from the stairs, but you can drown in any depth.

I just stood there and watched until the bubbles stopped coming. Then I strolled around the pool. Entering the water felt like a baptism. I pulled the body up onto the stairs and checked his pulse. I couldn't find one. Only then did I blow my whistle. I was floating, but there was still a part of me that knew there would be consequences.

Doug had been napping. He woke up quickly when he saw I was half in the water with an unconscious patron. To his credit, he did exactly what we had been trained to do, robbing the emergency phone off the wall and dialling 999 even as he stumbled over to me. I told him what CPR cycle I was on while he put on his gloves. Six minutes later EMTs arrived. They took over, but we all knew he wouldn’t be revived.

The pool was closed for the rest of the day, but for once I barely noticed.

There was a lot of talk after that. Rescue reports and assessments to make sure everyone had done their job. Doug never admitted that he had been napping, but somewhere in the middle of things, it came out that I had been working extra hours. Someone higher up decided it was fatigue and stress and I was let go so I could focus on myself for a while.

I told you before that I don't do drugs, but everything I've read suggests that those last weeks of the summer were just as bad as any withdrawal. The back of my neck ached, shooting pain into my temples. I couldn’t sleep. Sometimes I would get a glass of water, only to find myself staring into it minutes or hours later.

I tried to go back to the pool once. They wouldn’t let me in. The junior manager, who had let everything slip by him got all red in the face. I thought he was probably angry, but he wouldn’t meet my eyes. There were other pools, of course, but I knew swimming wouldn’t make me feel right, and anyway, they were halfway across town.

My parents were concerned, but still busy, so it was decided that I would go to my aunt May’s for the final week before Labor Day. She lived three hours away, on 10 acres of land in a ranch-style house that had been built the previous century. The county would be good after my “trauma”. I didn’t protest. At that point I didn’t care.

I tried to put it behind me, but it was difficult.

Then, a week ago the summer retrospective went around. There’s always a bunch of pictures, and this time there was one of me. It was from the back, not obvious or anything, but I could tell, and there, half hidden by my hair was a tattoo. The outline of a pair of eyes, staring right at the camera.

I haven't checked the back of my neck. I don't want to know what I'll find.

NATHAN

Statement ends.

Ms Frost included a photo of the news document, and there does appear to be a pair of eyes tattooed to the back of her neck. The man, Henry Porter, did die in a leisure centre on July 18th, cause of death labelled a heart attack. We could not identify the women with the eye tattoos and any possible follow up on this statement has led to a dead end. There was just not enough information.

Recording ends.

Useful Ecology

We’re hearing about a whole range of ecological measures.

We need to buy eco-friendly cleaning products, insulate our homes, change our boilers and have a Canadian well, buy less plastic, sort our waste, drive eco-friendly cars, limit our speed on the roads, limit our water consumption when we shower or flush the toilet, limit your consumption of concrete, have a compost in our garden, limit our consumption of meat, use Aleppo soap and limit our consumption of sun creams, use a solar oven, invest in ecological energy (wind turbines, photovoltaic panels, hydroelectric plants), buy second-hand. Electricity, oil and food prices are rising under the pretext of ecology.

Mining, lithium extraction, nuclear power plant waste, large factories, construction, petroleum, intensive agriculture (soil pollution, exorbitant water consumption). Multinationals pollute far more than private individuals, and are not subject to any ecological measures to limit their pollution. The world’s richest people, especially via multinationals, are responsible for the world’s biggest ecocides: they destroy forests such as the Amazon rainforest, pollute rivers, destroy the seabed, impose conditions on farmers such that they destroy the land, which is in danger of becoming sterile due to the use of chemicals, and mistreat animals. What’s more, chemicals such as pesticides are causing the extinction of entire animal species. They should be judged internationally, not according to the laws they decide at national level in each country.

Some sectors, such as agriculture and construction, are even subsidized. Others even receive the Legion of Honor (e.g. Total).

Revealed: the 20 firms behind a third of all carbon emissions – The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/oct/09/revealed-20-firms-third-carbon-emissions

90% of industrial pollution comes from manufacturing things: housing, vehicles and clothing. Obsolescence, changing standards that force people to equip themselves, and the use of consumption as a status object are all very harmful.

How Buying Stuff Drives Climate Change – Columbia University – Columbia Climate School: https://news.climate.columbia.edu/2020/12/16/buying-stuff-drives-climate-change/

The measures mentioned at the beginning are useful for preserving the environment and limiting consumption, but they are minor measures compared to those that should be taken on a global scale.

How companies blame you for climate change – BBC: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20220504-why-the-wrong-people-are-blamed-for-climate-change

But most of the pollution is still to come. Developing countries want factories, energy, cars and meat. If we don’t help them, this will happen with highly polluting coal-fired plants, petroleum and intensive agriculture (sometimes carried out in deserts, which sucks up all the water the population needs). We need to look at ecology on a global scale, and not just take measures in developed countries, otherwise the ozone layer will suffer and the air will become unbreathable.

“If left unchecked, climate change will cause average global temperatures to increase beyond 3°C, and will adversely affect every ecosystem. Already, we are seeing how climate change can exacerbate storms and disasters, and threats such as food and water scarcity, which can lead to conflict. Doing nothing will end up costing us a lot more than if we take action now.” Goal 13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts – ONU: https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/climate-change/

We must help developing countries to develop in a way that is healthy for humanity.

This is difficult. It’s not a question of sending money, because experience shows that the money would be diverted to corrupted individuals. It means that having people on the ground to check that the ecological work is being done is necessary. People need to be educated about ecology and given the means to put ecological measures in place. For developing countries to become low-emission countries like those in Europe, $2,400 billion a year would be needed. At present, fossil fuel subsidies total $5,000 billion a year. Switching to renewable energies would cost half as much as maintaining fossil fuels. António Guterres, attacked the use of subsidies in May 2024, declaring, “What we are doing is using taxpayers’ money – which means our money – to boost hurricanes, to spread droughts, to melt glaciers, to bleach corals. In one word – to destroy the world”. Taxes subsidize the destruction of the planet instead of saving it. This is one of the topics to be discussed at COP 29 from November 11 to 22, 2024.

How do we rein in the fossil fuel industry? Here are eight ideas – The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/oct/14/how-rein-in-fossil-fuel-industry-eight-ideas

China and Russia invest in developing countries without any ecological conscience. We need to be diplomatic with these countries to get them to take ecology into account.

National Chocolate with Almonds Day

Chocolate covered almonds, Snickers, Almond Joy: take your pick of the many tasty treats that combine chocolate and almonds into a perfect snack.

There is little in the world as divine as chocolate, unless we consider the almond. What providence it is that these two things compliment each other so readily.

Truer words were never spoken. Chocolate is a delicious substance that has been loved and lauded by every tier of society from the poorest to the richest. Kings have traded for it, and men have killed for it, and even Gods have bowed for it. The almond is equally revered, referred to in the Bible as being “among the best of fruits.” Chocolate With Almonds Day celebrates the coming together of these two substances.

History of Chocolate With Almonds Day

Let us begin exploring its history in alphabetical order, shall we? The almond was spoken highly of in the Bible, and finds its origins in the Middle East. There it has been used as a source of food, medicine, and decoration for time out of mind. They are easily harvested from within the almond fruit, and are now grown extensively in California, and is the subject of the largest managed cultivation in the entire world of agriculture. That’s how important this humble tree nut is.

Chocolate is easily one of the most popular substances to every enter the world. It has been seen as a solution for sorrow and a great compliment for joy, and literally contains the stuff of love, at least chemically. Chocolate is used as a way to demonstrate your love for another and has been used in just about every culinary combination you could imagine. Its diversity is well loved, as well as its adaptability.

Chocolate With Almonds Day celebrates what happens when these two fantastic ingredients come together into one mind-bendingly delicious whole.

How to celebrate Chocolate With Almonds Day

Home Heating Oil Spills 101

Before there’s a spill, please consider the following steps to make an eventual spill suck less / less likely to cause an environmental mess

Know where the shut-off valve is on your tank

Keep oil absorbents (most professional: pads/booms, most available: non-clumping kitty litter), a bucket & a shovel close by

If you live somewhere that could flood, make sure your tank is securely anchored to a solid base. If it floats and the pipes rupture everything is so awful please trust me on this

Consider preventative spill containment. This could be a oil catchment pan, a berm around your tank, a solid impermeable surface under it, sealing all basement floor cracks nearby etc.

Please check if your homeowner’s insurance covers oil tank leaks. Most do not! You do not want to learn this after the fact.

Check for water in the tank routinely and keep an eye out for rust!

Prevent oil from flowing over a large area. That is your #1 goal. If you can keep the release contained you can keep the clean-up cheap. (if you cannot do this skip to step 2 and call emergency services)

If the leak is coming from piping or a boiler, use your shut-off valve If you can see a drip or leak put a container under it

If oil is flowing over land, grab a shovel. Your grass is already a lost cause (rip) so use your shovel to make a berm to contain the flow

If the spill is in a basement: cover all drains. Turn off your sump pump if it’s nearby.

Use your oil absorbent (kitty litter or otherwise) on the spilled oil. After it absorbs you’ll need to shovel it up, bag it and have it disposed of according to local regs.

If the leak is coming from your tank call your heating oil supplier to have the tank emptied. The tank can’t leak once it’s empty.

There’s somebody nearby that you’re going to need to notify of this release.

If the oil is impacting other properties or there’s enough oil spilled that there’s dangerous fumes or a fire hazard in your house call emergency services.

Call your state or local environmental agency to report the release. This is likely required in your area. Ask them about local rules for disposing of used absorbents, what kind of clean-up is required etc.

If applicable: call your landlord, roommate, your mom, the neighbor in the duplex before they smell oil and call 911 etc.

If you haven’t already, call your heating oil supplier to have the tank emptied

Your homeowner’s insurance (at least in the US) probably doesn’t cover heating oil releases. Call them anyway and report the incident

Regretfully, even if you were quick and resourceful this is still going to be an epic pain in the ass.

If the oil has impacted groundwater, surface water, storm drains or more soil than you can personally shovel: google for local environmental cleanup contractors. Call several to get quotes on cleaning up the release

If your tank was underground that’s going to cost a lot of money bc it’ll involve excavating the tank and surrounding soil – check if there are any local/state grant programs that can help you out.

If a leak got under your foundation, they may need to break up part of your basement floor or jack up the foundation and excavate underneath. This also sucks.

If groundwater could be impacted, have your well water tested before drinking it. Notify any neighbors on wells. Don’t fuck around with contaminated groundwater. This is going to be expensive, I’m so sorry.

Your state likely requires soil (+ water, as applicable) sampling after the release. Even if it isn’t required, it’s a good idea. Ask when you call them!

Do not believe anyone who claims they have magic chemicals that can turn the spilled oil into water. (don’t ask)

Your tank may need to be replaced/closed. Consider at this time whether you’d rather have a form of heating that doesn’t have potential five-figure cleanup costs.

P.S. I’m not a lawyer, this guide is not comprehensive & sections may not be applicable in your state/township/country/planet. I’m willing to answer asks on this topic but my expertise is limited.
