imagine how fucking great it would be if hozier wrote a song about Patroclus and Achilles........

The more I get involved with local stuff, the more I find that all the good local stuff that creates community and continuity and value is run by old people. Yes, your much reviled boomers. They run the arts council and the craft guild and the other craft guild and the food pantry and the church free pancake dinners. They run the little art gallery downtown and the Master Gardeners and quite a lot of the farms. And there are few to no younger people coming up behind them to pass the torch to. The old people don’t know how to bridge the generation gap into the internet age, and the young people have unwittingly given up all the tremendous value of community for mobility, and/or have no free time in which to contribute to such things anyway because of the ever-growing struggle just to have enough.

Actually I think it’s something people should be very very worried about, but I suspect the whole picture is largely not visible to the people on either end.

Yes, climate change can be beaten by 2050. Here's how.

A carbon-free world can be a reality. What would that mean for our jobs, homes and lives?

“Is it possible to turn things around by 2050? The answer is absolutely yes,” says Kai Chan, a professor at the Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability at the University of British Columbia.

Many scientists have been telling us how the world will look like, if we don’t act now. However, others, like Chan, are tracking what success might look like.

They are not simply day-dreamers either. They aren’t being too optimistic. They are putting together road maps for how to safely get to the planet envisioned in the 2015 Paris Agreement, where temperatures hold at 1.5 degrees Celsius higher than before we started burning fossil fuels, this article from July states.

“Three decades is enough to do a lot of important things. In the next few years—if we get started on them—they will pay dividends in the coming decades,” says Chan, the lead author of the chapter on achieving a sustainable future in a recent UN report that predicted the possible extinction of a million species.

Making these changes won’t mean years of being poor, cold and hungry before things get comfortable again, the scientists insist. They say that if we start acting seriously NOW, we stand a decent chance of transforming society without huge disruption. 

No doubt, it will take a massive switch in society’s energy use. But without us noticing, that’s already happening. Not fast enough, maybe, but it is. Solar panels and offshore wind power plummet in price.  Iceland and Paraguay have stripped the carbon from their grids, according to a new energy outlook report from Bloomberg. Europe is on track to be 90 per cent carbon-free by 2040. And Ottawa says that Canada is already at 81 per cent, thanks to hydro, nuclear, wind and solar. 

Decarbonizing the whole economy is within grasp. We can do this.

“If we have five years of really sustained efforts, making sure we reorient our businesses and our governments toward sustainability, then from that point on, this transition will seem quite seamless. Because it will just be this gradual reshaping of options,” Chan says, adding: “All these things seem very natural when the system is changing around you.”

So ya boi went off today

I can't find interest in.. anything, anymore.

Lately I've realized I'm just, dragging myself from place to place, and that I don't really feel much? And I thought a way to change that would be to make a list of hobbies or interests I can do.

Nothing has worked. It's been at least a week and I've spent so much time on websites trying to find something, but I really don't like anything. Do I even want to do anything?

i wish trends would stop. i wish things would stop being popular for two weeks and then time moves along like it always has. i wish things would last longer. i wish some trends or popular things would stay main-stream forever. i wish i just had more time.

go support this person!!!
