Avert Climate Disaster/Subvert Disaster Capitalism
Coal must be phased out 7x faster than is now happening, deforestation must be reduced 4x faster, and public transport around the world built out 6x faster than at present, if the world is to avoid the worst impacts of climate breakdown, 'new research has found'. [Guardian, 2023]
The 6 Year Plan:
Shutdown about 240 average-sized coal-fired power plants a year, every year between now and 2030.
Construct the equivalent of three New Yorks’ worth of public transport systems in cities around the world each year this decade.
Halt deforestation, which is happening to an area the size of 15 football pitches every minute, this decade.
Increase the rate of growth of solar and wind power from its current high of 14% a year to 24% a year.
Cut meat consumption from ruminants such as cows and sheep to about two servings a week in the US, Europe and other high-consuming countries by 2030.
Destroy Capitalism before it destroys us all

To this DAY anytime I see the avatrice kiss scene my heart does the little happy skip, specifically the moment when Ava kisses Bea and she’s all stiff so she starts to pull away and that snaps Bea out of her shock and she pulls Ava back in for a solid kiss like COME ON that moment is everything, and don’t get me started on Ava’s hesitant awe afterword, like she was savoring every fucking millisecond

Prompt 168
So. Apparently halfas are like phoenixes or something, which Danny would’ve really liked to know.
See, usually with ghosts if they’re forced to retreat to their cores they reform as was, but apparently, since they’re still partially living, schrodinger's people and all that, halfas have to regrow their body from scratch. At least that’s what he’s understanding from Frostbite.
But how come he has to deal with it? It’s Dan’s fault for trying to pull such a stunt! Oh, it’s either him or Vlad? Well fuck, he might have calmed down and is going to therapy in both the living realm and the Zone, but he’s waaay not equipped to raise a child except for like, monetarily wise.
Well dammit, how long will this core incubation thing last, he has his new job in… let him check which offer he accepted again… He has his new job in Coast City that he needs to finish packing for and then all the rest of the stuff to do.
What do you mean it’ll take months?! He doesn’t have months?! Urgh, fine. At least being a mortician isn’t that exciting, nor dangerous. Just hand him Dan’s core and he’ll figure things out for the living side of things. He’s sure Tucker and Sam wouldn’t be against helping, if only to try and claim favorite aunt or uncle spots.

Carmine: Kiki’s been acting REAL weird since he got back
Carmine: He trains nonstop, barely even sleeps…
Carmine: He even beat Drayton and took his position as the BB League Champion
Carmine: I’m actually kind of afraid to interact with him now, I mean look at how awfully he treats other trainers that he sees as “weak”
Carmine: Oh but I’m sure it’s just a phase!
Me:

people are rightfully worried about AI and its influence on media and artists today but what really has me shook in the back of my brain is that 15-20 years from now we're gonna see tip-of-my-tongue discussion threads from covid gen adults who swear they remember an episode of spongebob where the characters stood around talking about the cybertruck's new jellyfishing compartment all while being bombarded with random cuts of mr krabs screaming and subliminal messages about the world ending in 2036

something i'm grateful to have internalized is the fact that i'm okay with falling off the wagon. like it's okay to have to go back to affirmations every now and then. it's okay to need pep talks or to need to talk to a friend or just to have an emotional flux. it doesn't mean you're an unemotionally unstable mess who can't sustain a good mood for a considerable period of time--it just means you're human. this was big for me bc i used to think i'd achieve this ideal where i no longer needed to read positive affirmations or hype myself up or whatever. but that ideal doesn't exist. accessing a good state of mind is an active process, that you have to repeat over and over, and that's literally okay
