Hey Ship, so I've just found out that my aunt, in a huge streak of protectiveness, has apparently been... hiding the climate crisis from her children??

This came up because my uncles were discussing it around my 14-year-old cousin, who actually started to cry because it was so upsetting to her—and they suggested that she go ask me to learn more. (Because less threatening from my generation?) So, now I have a very young, very smart, very empathetic teenager suddenly encountering climate change and the danger the world is facing for the first time in her life, asking me what's going on. How the HELL do I start explaining this to her without causing trauma or severe denial?

Oh, Jesus. That’s a hard one and I’m afraid I have no advice. I’m not sure there is a way to talk about it that isn’t traumatic and existentially nauseating; I can barely talk about it on my blog because I don’t trust myself not to hurt people. Focusing on ways it can be mitigated and stuff we can work towards is more palatable but a 14 year old who doesn’t even have voting rights is bound to feel especially helpless. My experiences with climate change education have mostly been specific things like teaching people about the carbon sequestration of wetlands, but I know some of my mutuals and followers are specially trained in educating about this exact subject.

We offer this ‘zine in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Spring of 2020. Our unsheltered relatives cannot simply “stay home if they are sick” and “constantly wash their hands” as instructed by callous politicians who, predictably, had no plans to ensure the wellbeing of our relatives.

I thought I’d post more Luc Schuiten because I am in love with his work.

I mean, look at this:

Isn’t it beautiful? Here’s what it looks like inside:

Here’s a 3D model:

Imagine if all that glass was solar-collector glass. It’s stunning and it would generate huge amount of energy.

I’m just going to sit and sigh over this for a while.

I’ve been thinking about starting a vertical farm as a way to provide free food to anyone in need. I’m still trying to figure out how much it would cost but I’ll probably need to crowdfund. I don’t know how to approach this. Should I form a 501c3? Maybe just do a GoFundMe campaign? I don’t have experience with mutual aid networks or nonprofits so any advice from people with experience would be very helpful.

I already have a few people who are interested in helping but they also lack experience with this sort of thing.

Interview With Jamison Green. Originally posted on Youtube, by Dr. Lindsey Doe.

TRANSCRIPT: [Jamison Green sitting on a couch, being interviewed by Dr. Doe. He is wearing a suit shirt and a black jacket, and has a grey beard.] JAMISON: When I first transitioned, I thought I was going to go get a sex change, then go home and mow my lawn. I did not ever imagine that my life would change at all, because already people- at least half the time, sometimes more- thought I was male. And so, I figured nothing was going to change, I would just feel more comfortable in my body. I realised that there were all these other people out there who were living in fear and shame, because of their differences. And I thought, that is not right. And so I said to them, I’m going to start using my full name in public, and I’m going to start talking about who we are. Don’t be afraid to change in all kinds of ways. Your self can change. [Jamison and the interviewer high-five.] INTERVIEWER: I’m impressed by what you’ve done. JAMISON: Thank you. END TRANSCRIPT.

Jamison Green was born in 1948. He came out as a trans man the late 1980s and made his transition public, for the benefit of others. He has been an activist since then, and led the FTM community after Lou Sullivan's death.

His contributions to trans rights have been largely erased by mainstream narratives around trans history.

Mr. Green wrote the book Becoming a Visible Man, exploring his experiences as a bisexual trans guy, his relationships with lovers and family, and his struggle to transition. He was involved in the 2012 documentary TRANS, where he advocated on behalf of trans people, and discussed his experiences with being s*xually assaulted.

(I saw this and thought that it would help with the heat wave since a lot of people don’t have AC)

Heat Wave Peppermint Spray (AC in a Bottle)

10g peppermint essential oil 10g menthol essential oil Equal volume of solubilizer

200mL aloe vera juice

Weigh the essential oils out into an empty spray bottle, and top off with an equal amount of solubilizer. Swirl to combine. Add a small amount of aloe vera juice and shake gently to combine. Add the rest of the aloe vera, shake gently to combine.

To use, spritz on bare skin. If you cover your torso and your limbs, you will likely end up with goosebumps! I find this keeps me quite cool/cold for upwards of 20 minutes.

If you don’t want to use the solubilizer you can leave it out and just shake thoroughly before each use. That means the mixture will not emulsify at all and you’ll likely have troubles getting it to spritz evenly.

i'm begging you guys to start pirating shit from streaming platforms. there are so many websites where you can stream that shit for free, here's a quick HOW TO:

1) Search for: watch TITLE OF WORK free online

2) Scroll to the bottom of results. Click any of the "Complaint" links

3) You will be taken to a long list of links that were removed for copyright infringement. Use the 'find' function to search for the name of the show/movie you were originally searching for. You will get something like this (specifics removed because if you love an illegal streaming site you don't post its url on social media)

4) each of these links is to a website where you can stream shit for free. go to the individual websites and search for your show/movie. you might have to copy-paste a few before you find exactly what you're looking, but the whole process only takes a minute. the speed/quality is usually the same as on netflix/whatever, and they even have subtitles! (make sure to use an adblocker though, these sites are funded by annoying popups)

In conclusion, if you do this often enough you will start recognizing the most dependable websites, and you can just bookmark those instead. (note: this is completely separate from torrenting, which is also a beautiful thing but requires different software and a vpn)

you can also download the media in question (look for a "download" button built into the video window, or use a browser extension such as Video DownloadHelper.)
