[reasonsforhope]

100% have been perusing your climate change masterpost, and understand you're probably swamped so feel free to delete of course. But if you can find the time, is there any kind of hope to give in fighting climate change now? Can we save ourselves against the oncoming steamroll?

You hang in there too. Thanks for finding the hope among everything else. It feels so bad rn but I have to believe it can change. I hope it can.

Yeah actually I do think there is hope.

Things are going to get rough. Things are going to get worse before they get better, both for the climate and for people living in the US (and for people living in lots and lots of other countries that will be affected by the US election results/the ways the climate will worsen as aa result).

I haven't posted about this yet because I didn't want it to come to this, but now that it has, here's something that people have been quietly saying/research has been showing for months:

-via Reuters, November 6, 2024

Renewables, especially solar, are just too powerful to be stopped. They just too much cheaper and too much better, and that's only going to become more true, not less.

Also, I think (and hope) it's actually inevitable that at some point, we'll get to net negative carbon emissions. I think it's like solar: the technology, cost, and planet all make it feel like an inevitable technological trajectory, the same way solar tech is on an exponential trajectory. (IF WE WORK FOR IT, OBVIOUSLY, but also so, so many people ARE working for it, have dedicated their lives to working for it)

I sure fucking hope that's the case, anyway.

(You can find my masterpost on going net negative on what that actually means here)

It is gonna happen more slowly and shittily than I hoped, but I do think it's going to happen.

And if we can get to net negative emissions in time to save ourselves (which I think we will, the rates of advancement in many of these areas are very impressive), then we'll be able to slowly start to undo and heal lot of the damage.

Music that fits Alastor pt 1

I'm trying to edit Al with songs from his time, that also fit him as a character in some way. Here is one of them...

Mr. Radio Man 1924

Al Jolson (with Isham Jones & His Orch.)

Little broken hearted Sammy

Sitting on his Daddy's knee

Listening to the radio

But his heart is breaking so

Seems the angels took his Mammy

Any wonder why he cries

When his Daddy fell asleep

Little Sammy boy would creep

To the radio and cry...

Mr. Radio Man

Tell my Mammy to come back home

Won't you do what you can

`Cos I'm so lonely

I've been listening here every day

Since she went away

But no word from Heaven's been heard

Can't the angels hear me pray

When the sandman is nigh

And to slumberland I must go

I know she hears me sigh

Over my radio

When the reason I'm crying

And sighing, I'm all alone

Mr. Radio Man

Tell my mammy to come back home

Mr. Radio Man

Tell my Mammy, my Mammy to come back home

Won't you do won't you do what you can

Oooh! I'm so lonely

I've been listening in every day

Ever since she went away

But not a word from Heaven have I heard

Can't the angels hear me pray

When the sandman is nigh

And to slumberland I must go

I know she must hear me sigh

Over my radio

Oh, and the reason I'm, I'm sighing

And I'm crying, I'm so alone

Mr. Radio Man, please

Please tell my Mammy to come back home

I love old music and in me trying to find music specifically for a character, I found so much music and downloaded it from Internet Archive that I'll need to delete something soon...

Hopefully, I'll edit the thing (also planing to animate this)

My Top 9 Favorite Films I Watched in 2022 (First Time)

Dr. Mabuse, der Spieler (1922) | dir. Fritz Lang

Die Nibelungen (1924)  dir. Fritz Lang

The Wicker Man (1973) | dir. Robin Hardy

Das Testament des Dr.  Mabuse (1933) | dir. Fritz Lang

Metropolis (1927) | dir. Fritz Lang

Der Müde Tod (1921) | dir. Fritz Lang

Zur Chronik von Grieshuus (1925) | dir. Arthur von Gerlach

The Phantom of the Opera (1925) | dir. Rupert Julian

Count Dracula (1977) | dir. Philip Saville

A majority of what I watched in 2022 were Weimar-era German silent films, notably those by Fritz Lang. I enjoyed a great number of the movies he did in the 1920′s, especially his epics Dr. Mabuse, der Spieler and Die Nibelungen. Also, I came to enjoy the work of actor Rudolf Klein-Rogge after first seeing him as Rotwang in Metropolis. My most favorite role of his is Dr. Mabuse, which I feel is his greatest.

All of these are truly excellent films and would definitely recommend.

[frank-wedekind-baffles-me]

I'm on a quest

Working on a project about German playwright Frank Wedekind, and I'm searching for all the adaptations of his work that I can find mention of.

There is apparently an Austrian silent film adaptation of Spring Awakening from 1924. It was directed by Jacob Fleck and Luise Fleck and starred Frida Richard, Leopold von Ledebur and Erich Kaiser-Titz.

I cannot find this movie, but I also haven't found any mention of it being lost, so I'm reaching out into the void that is this website to see if anyone can possibly help me find it.

There is also a German silent film adaptation from 1929 directed by Richard Oswald. Same thing. I don't suppose anyone has any information on this incredibly niche subject?
