Combating Extreme Heat: Strategies for Mitigation and Adapatation in a Changing Climate
Addressing the issue of increasingly hot weather involves both individual and collective actions aimed at mitigating climate change and adapting to its effects. Here are some strategies:
Mitigation Strategies
1. Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions:
. Switch to Renewable Energy: Use solar, wind, and other renewable energy sources instead of fossil fuels.
. Improve Energy Efficiency: Upgrade appliances, buildings, and industrial processes to be more energy-sufficient.
. Promote Public Transportation: Use buses, trains, and other forms of public transportation to reduce the number of cars on the road.
2. Support Sustainable Practices:
. Adopt Sustainable Agriculture: Implement farming practices that reduce emissions such as no-till farming and crop rotation.
. Protect Forests: Prevent deforestation and promote reforestation and afforestation.
3. Reduce Waste:
. Promote Recycling and Composting: Reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills.
. Minimize Single- Use Plastics: Use reusable items instead of disposable ones.
Adaptation Strategies
1. Improve Urban Planning:
. Increase Green Spaces: Plant trees and create parks to cool urban areas through shade and evapotranspiration.
2. Enhance Building Design:
. Improve Insulation: Better insolation keeps buildings cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
. Use Energy-Efficient Cooling Systems: Install air conditioning systems that are energy-efficient.
3. Promote Water Conservation:
. Implement Efficient Irrigation: Use drip irrigation and other water-saving techniques in agriculture and landscaping.
. Harvest Rainwater: Collect and store rainwater for use during dry periods.
Personal Actions
1. Reduce Energy Consumption:
. Use Energy-Efficient Appliances: Choose appliances with high energy efficiency ratings.
. Turn Off Electronics: Turn off lights and electronics when not in use.
2. Adopt a Sustainable Lifestyle:
. Reduce Meat Consumption: Eating less meat, especially beef, can lower your carbon footprint.
. Support Sustainable Products: Buy products from companies that prioritize sustainability.
3. Stay Informed and Advocate:
. Educate Yourself and Others: Stay informed about climate change and its effects.
. Advocate for Policies: Support policies and polticians that prioritize climate action.
By combining these mitigation and adaptation strategies, we can work towards lessening the impact of hot weather and building more resilient communities.
Thank you for reading. Until next time, salamat and see you soon!

i'm gonna say it. the way some of yall even in seemingly progressive circles get so fucking defensive when veganism gets mentioned or suggested as if it's a personal attack is incredible. obviously i'm excluding the edge cases where it's completely impossible, i.e. due to disability or living in a food desert, but like come on. come on. not everyone who fights tooth and nail against examining their own biases on the topic is in those situations that make any efforts towards veganism impossible. like you don't have to go full vegan immediately like a switch but at least try perhaps
#also inb4 sensory and financial arguments#since going vegan i'm literally paying less for food because you can make so many substitutes from scratch with cheap staples#and meat nowadays is unbelievably expensive anyways#and after being forced for multiple years to eat meat despite having heavy sensory issues that it triggered it's such a relief#to be able to just not eat it#irys.txt

Don't think I've seen this question make the rounds before, so:
Do any of your OCs hunt/fish/trap? Who taught them, and why do they do it? Do they have preferred gear or quarry?
#question brought to you by hunting coming up in all my classes simultaneously and bringing it back to mind#fishing is in here bc it ends up in these irl convos but I suppose it does feel like a gimme after gw2 added it#(and it's popularity as a minigame in many games as well)#but here I'll go first. my ex mordrem Merlin fur-traps in the shiverpeaks for income#he'll eat the meat of what he catches and splits w/ his nightmare hound (do u think fern/nm hounds can swallow bird bones? much 2 think abt#less wasteful and lessens what he has to pack when camping out in remote places for long periods of time#he was a deadshot with a bow as a young sprout but mordremoth got him early and uh. well that bow ended up integrating with his arm#which is why he's missing his right :) that's a story in and of itself though#but yeah so no bow-hunting or any marksmanship really#though he can throw an axe pretty well if needed#alright I have others but it's bedtime and this is a tag novella already#gw2#<- will it even find its way into the tag? who can say LOL anyways gnite! or good morning!

one thing thats so interesting about being a vegetarian is you get to hear all about everyones hypothetical activism that they care about very deeply when talking specifically about your diet and why it's stupid, but literally will never bring up ever again in any other context
#good idea generator#ppl will honest to god hit me with a 'well what about the dmg caused by plant agriculture' when i say im vegetarian for the environment#oh please tell me more about all the things youre doing to try to minimize your impact on the environment#and all the things you know about agriculture. in your infinite wisdom of [checks notes] doing the exact same thing you always have#or is the argument that because individual choices make little difference that we shouldnt even try or talk about it in case its annoying?#its not necessarily that these people arent making good points also#its just that when you have these same conversations 75 times over and over and over and OVER and get nowhere#it starts to become obvious most people learn these arguments in order to avoid genuinely interrogating their eating practices#either on an individual or communal level. am not asking you to cut out meat or go vegan (not a realistic demand of everyone on earth)#but i AM asking that you please do some self reflection on why the idea makes you so defensive#and about what exactly is so terrible of the idea that we may need to produce and consume less meat#i thought about 75 disclaimers i could put on this post but honestly if they become necessary it would prove my point

(do you love me like that?) you're a reckless driver (I'm a reckless driver) and one day it will kill us if I —
#yellowjacketsedit#yjedit#akilahmari#lyricsongifs#yellowjacketscentral#ok i WANT TO DISCLAIM. im not 100% sold on pitgirl mari im not 100% sold on anything. the show will tell me when its ready!#that SAID im incapable of giffing unless theres tragedy involved and also i think it would be an interesting trajectory for them#akilahmari work imo because while different they are both very vulnerable in the same way#they want to be seen and cared for and they arent in an environment where thats easy#and like. yeah the you tell me all the time to keep my eyes on the road gif IS the gay scenes#but its also akilah being in tune with people and their emotions. ofc she knows taivan love each other ofc she knows lottienat need a momen#and later ofc she knows lottie and nat need a moment!!! that skill serves her as tension escalates#whereas mari cannot read a room + does not filter herself. and akilah often gets the best of that from her!#but also. akilah shoots her a look when she presses javi about the missing bear meat. but also. mari isnt wrong to be concerned#mari is vulnerable and scared !!!AND!!! heavily concerned about survival. so whereas akilah and mari are both scared to hunt javi#mari is the second to run to grab javis body. akilah follows still horrified. mari is better suited to survive in a lot of ways#but also tends to step on toes!!! but also mari is so loyal and so like. attentive? eager? in a way akilah isnt#so mari says more controversial things but ultimately follows status quo in a way akilah is less inclined to#even in terms of skills mari can cook and akilah can sew but eventually what good is stitching people up when they need to eat. you know.#IDK i think theyre soooo interesting and im rly looking forward to their relationship hopefully developing bc i think theyre cute and fun#but i think their dyn could get sooooo interesting. even in terms of letting mari go. like. many connotations#akilah can giggle when the jokes are still funny and they can find each other in any given space. but does that matter if it cant save them#anyway ive run out of tags to tag the chars for my blog and im being really brave about it btw.#also its 2 am and i wanna post and im being even braver about that (not deleting this tag but its not 2 am my time as i post im drafting<3)

i have feelings (not positive) about the sudden proliferation of posts saying abigail not being eaten showed how she was unloved even in death cause...that's just her father's philosophy? abigail doesn't seem to believe in it. hannibal certainly doesn't believe in it. like i'd argue that the opposite is true, that hannibal not eating people shows he cares for them beyond seeing them as pigs. hannibal not eating will was proof of his love for him in the end.
#how i interpret hannibal eating mischa was that it was less an act of love and more an act of forgiveness#mischa's death caused him uncontrollable grief and in the end he had to reduce her to meat to 'forgive' her for causing those feelings#like yeah i have issues with abigail's death bc she died for will's sins not her own#and the writers didn't even have hannibal think about her or grieve her while he was traipsing around in italy#or have ANYONE think about her beyond will#but i don't think him not eating him showed he didn't care#no hate if that's how you see it these are just my half formed thoughts#long post#hannibal rewatch#(yeah i changed the screenshots bc i found ones that fit better)#not eating her*

Slugcats
i think there’s two subspecies of slugcat. A carnivorous type with long fur (hunter, arti) and a omnivorous type with no/very short fur (survivor, monk, riv, saint)
spearmaster is special as they’re lab made and physically don’t have a lower jaw. or an esophagus.
#rain world#rain world downpour#slugcat#rw hunter#rw survivor#rw spearmaster#rw downpour#i think gourd is a hybrid tbh#since he can eat fruits n batflies normally but meat gives less. but he can still eat the meat#saint is biologically omni but chooses not to eat meat or living creatures#oh yeah and saint has longer fur. bc of the cold#pinemartart

Okay, so, genuine question. How does the food chain work in the world of Uprooted? Because the people are all cute critters, including animals that people irl have a tendency to eat (like rabbits, chickens, ducks, etc). Is it a sort of cartoon like situation, where some of the animals are sentient, and others are not? If that’s the case then would it be commonplace for, say, a rabbit to eat rabbit stew? Or would it still technically be considered cannibalism? Because not all the critters are herbivores. We got carnivores, like cats, dogs, etc. And sure, they may not constantly eat meat, but I imagine they mostly do.
Also, at what point does an animal stop being sentient? All the characters thus far have been fairly small-medium sized critters, so I assume larger animal—like, say, a horse—wouldn’t be sentient. Unless it follows Peppa Pig rules, where some large animals are sentient and some aren’t. But then what about smaller critters, like a blue jay? Are they all sentient, or only some of them (like Blue Jay Simpson)?
These are all very important questions for my immersion, even though I imagine that literally none of this pertains to the plot of Uprooted (whatever that may be)
#to be fair I have this same thought process for literally any cartoon with animal characters#like Peppa pig or zootopia#actually I just googled if the Peppa pig characters eat meat and I instead found a Reddit thread#of someone asking a similar question; but pointing out that they eat products with milk and eggs#and that just made me realize that the uprooted characters do the same#assuming they’re using chicken eggs; how the fuck does that work if there’s a whole race consisting of chickens?#like…that’s their way of producing children. and no they’re not fertile at that point but like#that’s like if I mixed the eggs from my ovaries into a cake. just because there ain’t a baby there doesn’t make it any less fucked yo#unless it’s different somehow??? how the fuck does food work in this world????#legends of avantris#uprooted#this is such a stupid question but I desperately need to know now#and like this is /hj but also not really

Meat Marionette 7?? 8????
Thinkin of the lil robins and other kids and just, them trying to build Jarro a meat body maybe. Idk, still rotating Jarro and if he'd have one seeing as they had to build his human form via some different body parts and such...
Anyway did some sleep deprived sketches of each- though I just realized I didn't label Cullen, oh well lol. I like to think the first couple robins are all more flesh and exposed muscle looking as the Tunnels adjust to building bodies that can still, well, grow and develop. They've only just succeeded in building a body that can move and semi function with Bruce after all, and even then it takes a couple years for that body to shift into something more alive with like, a stomach and such that needs more than time in the Hive and some Lazarus water for food and hydration. And even then it's another year or so of the bodies needing to be fed via IV before everything actually becomes semi functional as well, a body.
But anyway, his eleven children!
Dick's body starts out the most simple, but is also the first that they discover that the meat marionettes can in fact evolve seeing as he starts to grow electricity-producing organs almost akin to something like an eel. Which is probably very distressing to Bruce because like, this is his baby?? Who can suddenly tase people which is fine, but what if it gets stronger?
Jason's robin body doesn't get a lot of evolution before the Joker Incident, and then it formed a cocoon to become the next form over a year or so. I do feel like his wings were fluffier and had some down still, not enough to prevent flight, but enough to slow down say, take offs.
By the time Tim & Steph comes around, their bodies have started to develop more armor similar to Bruce's. Like the bodies are slowly developing even when the Hive first creates them from the flesh walls as the Tunnels get better at building living moving bodies. Like it's still are mostly soft larva-esque chitin still, but It's still visibly learning.
And then with Cass her body is far darker, more similar to one of the Bats than the rest of the babies. There's still bits of color- bright yellows to warn for venom and poison- but it's such a sudden left turn that they're concerned about what the Tunnels might do next.
It's a relief when it goes back to more colorful designs with the next ones, even if Duke probably has ended up the most armored straight out of the flesh.
Honestly in general I feel like they're actually very soft if someone gets close enough to touch them. Like they look terrifying, especially in night when it's dark out, but compared to their parent & aunt they're like fluffy baby birds. Something the kids in Gotham are probably familiar with, because the birds will help comfort scared people and victims while Bruce takes care of whatever caused their distress. Sometimes just crouches down and pulls out a small puzzle or something from one of his bags while waiting for the police to arrive while distracting the kids, his own and not.
Jarro if he does have a body like theirs, meat marionette or made by them, I feel like it looks more like some sort of hybrid of whatever the batclan are and some sort of aquatic creature. Like an aquatic (swimming?) xenomorph compared to a runner or a drone. Visibly the same species, but looks almost like a similar caste or subspecies if that makes sense? But honestly if yall have any ideas I am open to them. ______________________________________________________________
Reminder that this Au is a combo of both mine and @phoenixcatch7 so check out their Possessed Doll au, and actually go check them out in general, they have a lot of fun ideas and drabbles <3
#meat marionette au#batman au#batman#dcu#batkids#cryptid batfam#cryptid batman#batfamily#dc#I like to think that Tim got the name Red Robin originally as a thing to discern him from the other active robins#Like he's more red than Steph whose more yellow-ish for example & then there's the others too so the Gotham people have to clarify which on#Have you seen the flying queen xenomorph before? Because that's the same sort of vibe that Kate & Bruce give off#Like the kids are all human sized-ish and then there's the Bats who are... h u g e and deadly#Can eat someone if they really wanted to but chances are they probably haven't#I like to think they will eat raw and rare meat though#Gosh I think them and Killer Croc could be friends#Animalistic non-human looking friends because they'd understand more of having less human instincts#Waylon deserves to get a home & a job- like he only became a criminal because he couldn't get a legal job because no one wanted to hire him#Anyway gimme ideas if you have them#ALSO can I just say: the batfam using shed feathers and fur to weave into a big nest instinctively#They use it to snuggle in the batcave

i have a loooot of food anxiety when it comes to eating meat (which i only recently learned might actually be another part of my ocd lol oops) so i've been vegetarian for the last decade and i honestly forgot how fucking OBNOXIOUS so many vegetarians are until i started watching cooking/recipe videos for vegetarian meals. you're not morally superior for your dietary choices. stop being a dickhead and just tell me how to make this goddamn sandwich
#text post#I've always had debilitating anxiety about eating meat#bc i always thought it would be bad meat or improperly cooked and that if i ate it I'd become deathly ill#it caused a lot of problems during meal times while i was growing up#i'd make my parents keep putting my food back on whatever they were cooking it on#bc it was never done enough for me#and they'd get angrier and angrier and I'd get more and more distressed and usually end up crying#and if we were out to eat and whatever i ordered didn't look cooked enough i just wouldn't eat it#so i stopped eating meat and im so much happier and way less stressed about eating food#but I've recently learned this is probably food contamination ocd#plus side of my dad passing on his ocd to me: we get to joke about it together. down side: literally everything else

just posting shit bc im bored but i think im gonna formally and officially commit to vegetarianism (barry berkman voice) starting now... and honestly the catalyst was just the fact that ive been buying a lot of quick meal/pre-prepared/grocery deli items and lately EVERY single one that had any amount of chicken had that kind of woody texture to it from being pumped w antibiotics or whatever and its just revolting to me now 😭 so im making chili tomorrow w no meat which isnt that crazy but it feels like a good first step 🫡
#personal#im thinking maybe i will allow myself to eat meat if i like buy it raw and cook it myself bc that happens so rarely anyway that it might#help me feel less restricted lol
