jurassic park has a good philosophical message but unfortunately the only thing i ever take away from watching jurassic park is "god i wish i could go to jurassic park." like yeah it's a blatantly obvious don't create the torment nexus scenario, but this torment nexus has DINOSAURS.

I have to be allowed to plant plants or I'm going to start tearing up abandoned sandy parts of the local shopping megaplaza again just to feel something (dirt)

today I toured a house with a dilapidated pool rustbucket decaying in the yard and even so there were dozens of dragonflies and water boatmen swarming around the sludge at the bottom...the bugs are STARVING for pond

Election next year. Now's a great time to join the Greens and help their campaign. With your help they can reduce the amount of landlords in parliament by replacing them with Greens MPs instead and we can finally start addressing the housing crisis.

Is your local MP a landlord?

You can find the register of interests for the Australian federal parliament here and find out! It'll show you all the properties they own and if they're to live in or if they're investments.

That way you know which politicians stand to directly benefit financially by keeping rents high and housing unaffordable for the rest of us and then VOTE THEM OUT!

One detail I've always really liked in dunmeshi's worldbuilding is the difference in life expectancies among races. I don't mean the different rates at which they age but specifically how long they live from the point of view of their own group. For example, dwarfs are directly stated to age 2.5x slower than a tall-man, but where tall-men's life expectancy is only about 60, for a dwarf it would be about 200 (equivalent to 80).

At first this stood out as odd to me but it makes sense when you look up the average lifespan for every race. In general, the short-lived races all have a smaller age of maturity to life expectancy ratio than all the long-lived ones.

I really love this discrepancy because the implication here is that long-lived races not only have longer lifespans due to aging slower, but they also just live longer generally due to a better quality of life, as they have taken the most fertile and livable lands to themselves, resulting in less conflicts over resources and faster technological developments.

Ultimately how long you live isn't just a fantastical element of the setting, but a political one as well.
