New video! Shikata Ga Nai: The Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson

This one is really special to me ✨ I love space and I love communism and I love utopianism, and the Mars trilogy has been a huge inspiration to me ever since I first read it. It's a sociological epic telling the story of human habitation of Mars through a series of successive revolutions over 200 years as humanity strives towards a future where nobody is hungry or homeless

The books have never been adapted to screen, which presented a big challenge to me as a video essayist, so I included a lot of my own astrophotography to show everyone why I love space 🌌 🔭

I also spent hundreds of hours in Kerbal Space Program recreating iconic sci fi set pieces from the series ✨👽

It's a really pretty video about a story that matters a lot to me, and I think there's so much in the trilogy to enjoy that I didn't get around to that you really don't need have read the books before watching 🥰 but I hope you'll want to read them after.

This essay is about utopianism, which I think is utterly vital. We need to formulate and share our postcapitalist desire. We must dream.

I saw a post saying that Boromir looked too scruffy in FotR for a Captain of Gondor, and I tried to move on, but I’m hyperfixating. Has anyone ever solo backpacked? I have. By the end, not only did I look like shit, but by day two I was talking to myself. On another occasion I did fourteen days’ backcountry as the lone woman in a group of twelve men, no showers, no deodorant, and brother, by the end of that we were all EXTREMELY feral. You think we looked like heirs to the throne of anywhere? We were thirteen wolverines in ripstop.

My boy Boromir? Spent FOUR MONTHS in the wilderness! Alone! No roads! High floods! His horse died! I’m amazed he showed up to Imladris wearing clothes, let alone with a decent haircut. I’m fully convinced that he left Gondor looking like Richard Sharpe being presented to the Prince Regent in 1813

And then rocked up to Imladris a hundred ten days later like

really everyone you love has something miserably wrong with them or an obvious flaw that won't ever be fixed but like it's up to you what kind of person you can and cannot deal with. someone in my family has anger issues which I can handle and diffuse with no problem, but a person who can't tolerate yelling could not be close to him. another person I know is very anxious & needs constant reassurance and she gets along famously with gentler and more straightforward people than myself, but I can't handle being second guessed all the time. someone who is loosey goosey with their morals wouldn't bother me, but a person with a profound sense of justice makes me feel afraid of getting on their bad side. none of these traits actually make someone a bad person & just because there are personalities I can't handle doesnt mean I'M a bad person either. litany against callout posts for stupid shit and simple incompatibilities we all have to live on this earth together & need to learn how to deal with each other

I took my little brother (autistic, mostly non verbal) out and he was using his voice keyboard to tell me something, and this little boy (maybe 4 or 5?) heard him and asked me "Is he a robot??" I tried to explain to him that no, he isn't a robot, he just communicates differently, but my darling brother was in the background max volume "I am robot I am robot I am robot I am robot"

i don’t think there’s anything funnier than saying “god forbid women do anything” in response to women doing the most objectively horrifying actions possible.
