As a wheelchair user I'm trying to reframe my language for "being in the way."

"I'm in the way," "I can't fit," and "I can't go there," is becoming "there's not enough space," "the walkway is too narrow," and "that place isn't accessible."

It's a small change, but to me it feels as if I'm redirecting blame from myself to the people that made these places inaccessible in the first place. I don't want people to just think that they're helping me, I want them to think that they're making up for someone else's wrongdoing. I want them to remember every time I've needed help as something someone else caused.

People talk about the surprise albums from people like Taylor Swift or Beyoncé that drop with zero warning but I have just been existing in this world where every album I've ever heard in my life has been a surprise album because I didn't know that musicians had schedules that we could see

Here's my (probably only, sadly) post for Solarpunk Aesthetic Week! Originally made for Andrewism's 2023 Solarpunk Art Collab!

This digital painting depicts the Southern Great Lakes Ecoregion, within the Interior Plateau & Southern Great Lakes Forests Bioregion, within the Temperate Broadleaf and Mixed Forest Biome.

I chose a suburban setting for this piece because I've not yet seen a Solarpunk artwork that features this. I'm aware of the problems with the suburbs, but it seems to me more sustainable to try to adapt them than to demolish them and start over. So instead of lawns I've depicted beds of native Indiana plants, including but not limited to:

Amsonia Tabernaemontana (Eastern Bluestar)

Spartina Pectinata (Prairie Cordgrass)

Echinacea Purpurea (Purple  Coneflower.

The roofs of the houses are either white to help reflect heat, or green roofs. Some of the houses are equipped with solar panels on the south sides, and one is shown with a greenhouse on that side as well.

While perhaps not explicitly ecologically focused, I have shown there to be more art in this setting than is usually found in american suburbia. The sidewalk has a mural painted with hydrochromic paint, which only appears while it is raining. The houses are painted bright colors (white or greige is  considered  'Normal' ) and are occasionally decorated with murals.

This particular area is among the cloudiest in the so-called U.S.A. To reflect that, the weather is overcast and it is currently raining.

Hope y'all enjoy this, and Happy Solarpunk Aesthetic Week!

Audio Processing Disorder

Why do people need subtitles to watch a show in English? I don't get it. What is wrong with the ears of young people?

Here’s what you’re not being told: The most pressing threats to our safety as Jewish students do not come from tents on campus. Instead, they come from the Columbia administration inviting police onto campus, certain faculty members, and third-party organizations that dox undergraduates. Frankly, I regret the fact that writing to confirm the safety of Jewish Ivy League students feels justified in the first place. I have not seen many pundits hand-wringing over the safety of my Palestinian colleagues mourning the deaths of family members, or the destruction of Gaza’s cherished universities.

I cant believe this tweet is how I find out

no but for real, imagine being in a city without cars. not the logistics, not the public transportation, not the design of the city itself, don't imagine living in a city without cars, or building a city without cars, just imagine sitting in one. Sitting on your porch, or your balcony, or even just by you open window.

How much of the soundscape around you comes from cars, and how different would it be without them? imagine streets, neighborhoods, where the only sounds were the sounds of life. of occasional bicycles whizzing past, of peoples music across the street, of people having conversations, or cooking in food stalls, or playing in all the open space. all the space for people. imagine the only interruptions are the occasional rumble of a bus, or a trolley, or more rarely an emergency vehicle. what if all the other vehicles were gone.

Imagine what the street outside would look like. be it a busy and bustling one in a dense urban area, or a quiet residential one on the outskirts of the city. What would it look like if people could use the street as the public space it is. If people were playing games out there, or gathering for events, or even just conversations. If people weren't limited to a few feet along either edge. What would it look like if life could take place on the street outside.

What would it smell like without the rubber, without the petroleum, without the burning oil and grease and all those scents of personal transportation. Imagine what it would smell like if they were gone, if the only smells were those of the lives taking place around you, of the homes and the restaurants and the businesses and the stalls that could occupy the space in their stead. If nothing else, imagine the smell of the city without the smog of the road.

Imagine just existing. even for just a few minutes. even just outside your home, in a city without cars. how different would it be?

i'm such a big fan of laios using being well fed as proof that he's serious. like there's so many techbros & etc who will use not eating breakfast as proof that they're productive & just in general, the idea of being "too busy to eat" is getting more common (which is exactly what toshiro is doing here!) but laios is like. no. i'm so serious about this i'm thinking about what comes next. i'm so serious about this i'm making sure my body can do everything it can when i need it.

the fact that everyone in the party took care of themselves & carefully planned out their route & when they'd take breaks is what made them so successful. they always made sure to understand their limits
