There is no single solution for reversing climate change, but there are a range of actions that can be taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the impacts of global warming. Some of the key strategies for addressing climate change include:

Reducing energy consumption: One of the main sources of greenhouse gas emissions is the burning of fossil fuels for energy. By using energy more efficiently and switching to low-carbon energy sources, we can significantly reduce our carbon footprint. This might involve measures such as improving the energy efficiency of buildings, using public transport or electric vehicles, and investing in renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydro power.

Ramaswamy's declaration that climate change was a 'hoax' sent a shockwave across the nation, reverberating through the country like a crack of thunder. But rather than a clap of thunder, what followed was a stunned silence from the Republicans. The debate shifted, focusing on other issues, as if nothing had ever been said. It was as if some unknown power had intervened, wiping all memory of Ramaswamy's declaration from their minds, their tongues tied and their pens stilled. And yet, even as the nation shifted its attention, the thrum of those words lingered in the air, for all too many people, a lingering reminder of what could have been.

Transiting Pluto stations retrograde

Sunday, May 4, 15:27 UTC, 3°49’ Aquarius

This may not have much of a personal impact on you unless you have strong Pluto, Scorpio, &/or 8th House energy in your chart. (I’m a good example: 8th House Sun, Scorpio rising, Pluto conjunct my MC. Pluto says, “Jump;” I reply, “How high?”)

It’s also going to affect you more powerfully if it’s making an aspect to your natal Sun, Moon, &/or an angle. (Look for placements between 1°22’ - 3°49’ of any sign, and 16°22’ - 18°49’ of a mutable sign.)

And since I am attuned to Pluto, I’ve been thinking a lot about this station. Specifically, how it is colored by the sign Aquarius being in opposition to the sign Leo.

One of the big problems in the US is the toxic masculinity piece. It has festered away for years, now - the powers that be (TPTB) have fostered a climate of male isolation, particularly among younger men. Divide and conquer; if we’re too busy fighting amongst ourselves, then we’re too busy to fight TPTB.

(Everybody pause this and go listen to “Fight the Power” - either the original Isley Brothers, or the later Public Enemy one. I love both of them.)

Anyway! Alienation, isolation, icy cold blunted/stunted emotions - among the negative Aquarius traits. There is a lot of “übermensch” nonsense in there, too - all the so-called incels believe they’re entitled to the hottest, most popular girls, for example.

Here’s a pertinent section about Aquarius (in general) from Soul-Centered Astrology by Alan Oken. It describes another issue we (as a society) must address:

All Aquarians have a strong awareness of others and a sensitivity to group orientation. Those Water Bearers without a firm grasp of the lower self may seek to join those cults and sects where group identification takes the place of individualization. The Aquarian likes to represent something; to stand for a set of collective values. Yet if personally developed discrimination is lacking, the Aquarian will be attracted to the order and ceremony of the group collective, and seek to merge into an unconscious mass, headed by equally blind Leo-type personalities.

There’s Maga right there - and Felon 47, recall, has Leo rising.

Anyway! Contrast that with Leo - the playfulness, the joie de vivre, the sheer radiant bliss of simply being alive. Romance, passion, the finer things, taking risks. Having a favorite sports team. Many Aquarians just hate all that stuff. (Especially when it doesn’t happen to/for them, exactly in they way they have envisioned it.)

As Pluto treks slowly through Aquarius, we’ll see and hear a lot of things like:

“How can you be happy when (insert latest atrocity) is occurring?!?”

It’s actually kind of necessary to find things to be happy about, in order to deal successfully with the darker things. Joy makes all our lives worthwhile. At the very least it provides us with much-needed respite from the gloom/doom.

With Pluto Rx in Aquarius, we are starting to sort through a lot of Aquarian muck (“unskillful” keyword concepts from Astrology for Yourself):

Tearing down but providing no alternative (maga again)

Avoiding the here and now (internet escapism)

Antisocial, impersonal, detached (AI)

In The Book of Water, Steven Forrest wrote (too briefly!) about Pluto transiting through Aquarius:

When Pluto passes through Aquarius, we are all invited to heal the soul-sickness created by the cold dissociation that comes from a shocking, overwhelming pace of change or cultural disruption, along with social alienation, both in this lifetime and in previous ones. If we fail to heal, then we become frozen emotionally, cut off from our own hearts (Leo!!), distant from what makes us human.

To analyze the transit, first look at Pluto’s natal position - the root cause of what is about to befall you. Pluto in the birth chart indicates why and how (sign), and where (house), you need to make an evolutionary breakthrough, via facing a “wounding truth.”

Next, consider the natal house(s) through which Pluto is moving. Here’s where you take action. Here is also where you think about any aspects transiting Pluto makes to a natal placement. That affects the process, making it either more (square, opposition) or less (sextile, trine) difficult.

Finally, the house(s) with Scorpio on the cusp show where the effects are displayed. (In a nutshell, either we’ve successfully purged something toxic, or we’re stubbornly wallowing in it.)

Remember, this is a very long process. Pluto is more about our souls’ development over our lifetimes, plural - it isn’t like (say) a Mars transit, where the ways we go about our day-to-day business, are affected in the immediate here and now.

Don’t feel like you have to get everything 100% accomplished, either. We’re going to be here for a while, so settle in for the longer haul and keep moving.

The Trump administration is undermining publicly produced data, slashing public investments in research, and intimidating civil society institutions that produce fact-based analyses. Enervating organizations that inform the public about vital issues like public health, economic growth, and—most of all—the actions of policymakers leaves the citizenry less able to hold officials to account. Attacks on the public’s right to know are a key front in a broader assault on popular sovereignty, the bedrock American principle that the government derives its legitimacy from the informed consent of the governed.

Trump administration officials have sought to reduce public access to data and to diminish or eliminate federal agencies responsible for vital data collection. Thousands of webpages and datasets on public health, demography, and climate change disappeared in February. The administration also disbanded several external expert committees that help agencies create accurate economic statistics. Agencies with essential data collection responsibilities, including the Department of Education, NOAA, and the CFPB have also been slated for immense cuts or even closure. The consequences are not merely national, they are global, as my colleague Caren Grown has eloquently explained. Here and abroad, businesses, policymakers, and families rely on the American government’s data. At the same time, the administration has been releasing inaccurate data and refusing to comply with FOIA requests related to its own activities.

These actions have not occurred without resistance. Many of the administration’s efforts are being challenged in court, with some success. Nonprofit institutions are working hard to build new systems to preserve and protect the data that the government once reliably provided. But even under the best-case scenarios, the courts will not be able to entirely roll back the current chaos, and philanthropic investments cannot operate at the scale of government action.

The executive branch’s interference in the congressional authority to appropriate federal monies does not just endanger federal data collection. It also threatens to incapacitate the nation’s scientific research. The administration has moved to reduce National Institutes of Health spending by about $4 billion and suspended scheduled grant-review meetings, undermining medical research institutions across the country. More recently, the NIH terminated grants for vaccine hesitancy research, and mRNA vaccine technology may also be at risk. Policy changes have made it hard for scientists to purchase basic research supplies. National Science Foundation research projects that include keywords such as “trauma,” “disability,” or “women” are also at risk of arbitrary cancellation.

The implications for science are severe. The NIH is the single largest funder of biomedical research in the world; around 55% of American higher education R&D funding came from the federal government in fiscal year 2022. In response, universities are already reducing graduate admissions, which will disrupt a generation of early career researchers. Science trainees are “questioning the viability of being a scientist in the U.S. going forward,” said Carole Labonne, a professor of molecular biosciences at Northwestern.

The attacks on data and science should be understood in the context of administration actions that the Committee to Protect Journalists has described as “an alarming pattern of retaliation against a free press.” As I noted last year, knowledge institutions are often an early target of autocratic regimes. Authoritarians demand the right to define what is true; the reporting of empirical facts endangers that power. There is no meaningful version of a university, newspaper, library, or research center that survives the successful suppression of dissent; these institutions require free inquiry. Journalism under state censorship is no longer journalism, it is stenography for the regime.

And yet, many knowledge organizations seem prepared to compromise themselves beyond recognition. Earlier this month, Columbia chose to comply with a wide array of administration demands after $400 million in federal funding were frozen. “With American democracy on the line, the University has crawled into a protective shell,” wrote Harvard political scientists Steven Levitsky and Ryan Enos. That strategy is misguided, they conclude, both ethically and strategically: “Remaining silent will not protect us.” Since the administration froze funding to Columbia, $175 million owed to the University of Pennsylvania has also been stopped.

The attacks on knowledge institutions have occurred with startling rapidity, but their effects are not yet entrenched. There is still time for a concerted defense of free speech, scientific inquiry, and political dissent. Given that the level of popular protest to the Trump administration is by some measures higher than it was in 2017, the sluggishness of elite institutions is as startling as it is indefensible.

Excerpt from this story from Heated:

Climate change is the greatest story of our time — but our time doesn’t seem to invent many great stories about climate change. Maybe it’s due to the enormity and urgency of the subject matter: Climate is “important,” and therefore conscripted to the humorless realms of journalism and documentary. Or maybe it’s because of a misunderstanding on the part of producers and storytellers, rooted in an outdated belief that climate change still needs to be explained to an audience, when in reality they don’t need convincing. Maybe there’s just not a great way to have a character mention climate change and not have it feel super cringe.

Whatever the reason, between 2016 and 2020, less than 3% of film and TV scripts used climate-related keywords during their runtime, according to an analysis by media researchers at the University of Southern California. (The situation isn’t as bad in literature, where cli-fi has been going strong since at least 2013.) At least on the surface, this on-screen avoidance of climate change continued in 2024. One of the biggest movies of the summer, Twisters, had an extreme weather angle sitting right there, but its director, Lee Isaac Chung, went out of his way to ensure the film didn’t have a climate change “message.”

I have a slightly different take on the situation, though — that 2024 was actuallyfull of climate movies, and, I’d argue, that they’re getting much closer to the kinds of stories a climate-concerned individual should want on screen.

That’s because for the most part, when movies and TV shows have tackled the topic of climate change in the past, it’s been with the sort of “simplistic anger-stoking and pathos-wringing” that The New Yorker’s Richard Brody identified in 2022’s Don’t Look Up, the Adam McKay satire that became the primary touchpoint for scripted climate stories. At least it was kind of funny: More overt climate stories like last year’s Foe, starring Saoirse Ronan and Paul Mescal, and Extrapolations, the Apple TV+ show in which Meryl Streep voices a whale, are so self-righteous as to be unwatchable (not to mention, no fun).

But what if we widened our lens and weren’t so prescriptive? Then maybe Furiosa, this spring’s Mad Max prequel, becomes a climate change movie. The film is set during a “near future” ecological collapse, and it certainly makes you think about water scarcity and our overreliance on a finite extracted resource — but it also makes you think about how badass the Octoboss’ kite is. The same goes for Dune: Part Two, which made over $82 million in its opening weekend and is also a recognizable environmental allegory featuring some cool worms. Even Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, a flop that most people have already memory-holed, revisitedThe Day After Tomorrow’s question of, “What if New York City got really, really, really cold?”

Good Omens Fic Rec: Hunger

Crowley is delighted when his next assignment as a Teaching Assistant involves helping to run Eco-Lit seminars with the hottest professor on campus, and even more so when Professor Fell seems quite receptive to his flirting. He's literally getting paid to ogle Aziraphale and listen to him read poetry, what could possibly be better than that? Meanwhile, Aziraphale can sense everything young Anthony is feeling and is struggling to resist the greatest temptation he's ever encountered over the course of his long existence.

Length: 87,842 words AO3 Rating: Explicit/ Spice Level 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Best for/Keywords: Mostly Safe in Public, Human AU, Vampire AU, Professor AU Major Triggers: None

Note: This is a locked work you must be logged in to view it

*Minor Spoilers* Sure hot professors are hot, but what about hot vampire professors? Crowley is a PhD student in botany, and Aziraphale is a Literature Professor who just happens to be immortal. So when Crowley starts as Professor Fell's TA, it becomes a smoldering push and pull of temptation and resistance. An intoxicating flirtation, that will end in blissful satisfaction.

So how does environmental academia mix with a vampire story anyway? Surprisingly well actually. There's a lot of talk and banter about environmental and societal change, and it turns out that climate anxiety is a very fascinating topic to hear a vampires point of view on! This story has some really clever ideas and philosophical questions, and the setting allows it to talk about those ideas in a very engaging accessible way. It's an AU that knows it's jargon, and you may leave learning a thing or two!

For most of this you'll be fine in public. At the start it is certainly suggestive, but not too explicit. Lots and lots of flirting, daydreams, and temptations. Enough to really get your blood flowing. When it finally gets super steamy you'll know, so savour those bits for some privacy. It's deliciously naughty, but so enthusiastically consensual and tender! Overall, such a fascinating story with some really cool world building and characterization. A win for fans of simp Crowley!

graphic design: Anthropocene & Sustainability

Today we worked on a brainstorm of the words Anthropocene & Sustainability for our poster project.

Taking keywords from our brainstorms and drawing small designs to represent them.

I was trying to avoid the doomist view as I find it difficult not to feel hopeless about climate change. It will take a global effort, but the unfortunate reality is that the systematic changes necessary to make a proper impact are happening too slowly or not happening at all. We discussed briefly in class the greed preventing these changes. Combined with facts like that, "Since 1988, just 100 companies have been responsible for 71% of global greenhouse gas emissions." It can feel less and less that we as individuals have the power to make a difference, considering the responsibility isn't entirely on the individual. Paired with greenwashing, which misleads people who'd like to be more sustainable. Regardless of these problems, the necessity for global action to reverse climate change continues to grow. Therefore, we must persevere to find solutions for our survival in harmony with the earth.

This is the project belief for the dynamic poster project below:

My First Research Project

Aku tuh udah pernah cerita juga kali ya disini, kalau akutuh pengen banget sekolah sampe PhD walau nggak tau gimana dan kapan, tapi mungkin akutuh bener2 ter-influence sama kakakku @asrisgratitudejournal yang masyaAllah akutuh kagum bgt ilmutuh bisa se-spesifik itu ya!!

Kemarin aku ngelamar 1 research project dan aku ditolak karena nilaiku nggak mencukupi. Hiks, sempet nangis krn aku ngerasa kebodohanku jadi burden buat aku menapak ke langkah selanjutnya. But anyway, ternyata ini mungkin jawaban Allah juga karena risetnya kuantitatif dan akutuh BODOH BGT mengenai hitung2an, lol. Bahkan kaya kemarin emang nilainya jelek.

Terus aku kan emang mendalami sustainability dan health gitu kan disini. Kebetulan di Unimelb itu ada yang namanya Climate Catch Lab, dan yang menariknya, Climate Catch Lab itu dibawah Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health! Jadi banyak bahas tentang health and sustainability gitu!

Alhamdulillah-nya, aku tuh udah masuk ke radar mereka karena aku jadi delegasi Melb Uni buat di Asian Pacific Rim University Student Global Climate Change Simulation. Kaya semacama MUN tapi di bidang climate change gitu, deh. Acaranya berlangsung di bulan agustus-september ini, online, sih. Tapi mayan lah jadi lebih banyak terpapar sama isu climate change.

Nah terus, akutuh tiba-tiba dapet email gitu kalau aku terdaftar dalam proyek sustainability healthcare gitu. HAH JUJUR KAGET WKWKW. Kayanya waktu itu aku pernah gak sadar daftar gitu deh 🤣 Sebenernya akutuh gak terlalu tertarik sama pengurangan emisi di healthcare servis gitu kan, tapi ternyata topiknya gak harus itu kita bisa purpose topik lain. Yaudah aku mikir, "Aku kan tertarik topik breastfeeding dan environmental impacts", coba purpose ah.

Dua minggu lalu, initial meeting aku dan supervisor dan aku coba purpose topik itu. Sempet kepikir buat dijadiin Clean Development Mechanism dibawah Kyoto Protocol, tapi pas ngobrol sama Loecky HAH KOK BANYAK ITUNGANNYA WKWKWK NANGES, GAJADI LAH. Yaudah pas meeting kedua kemarin aku bahas aja at glance gimana breastfeeding ternyata punya positive environmental impacts ke supervisorku.

Beliau akhirnya bilang, karena this project has to be done in October dan gue tau lo sibuk sama assignment lain dan juga ngurus anak, kita bikin literature review aja ya tentang Co-Benefits of Breastfeeding to Environmental Impacts. Karena kebetulan di pleminary research gue, gue present ada satu systematic review yang bahas itu. Dan akhirnya kita setuju untuk keep on going on that project, huhuhu terharu 🥹

This was not my first literature review sebenernya. Tahun 2021, gue juga udah pernah ngerjain sebagai Karya Ilmiah Akhir Ners (KIAN) gue. Tapi at that time tuh, demi Allah gue gak ada sama sekali dibimbing sama pembimbing gue. Bahkan gue diajarin tentang cari literature pake framework PRISMA dari Kak Rona yang waktu itu lagi S2 di Oz!

Jadi pas dapet pembimbing yang beneran ngebimbing, komit ada weekly meeting dan beneran mau ngasih tau gue what to do next tuh gue beneran superrr grateful. Bahkan si supervisor gue yg sekarang nyuruh gue untuk meeting sama librarian fakultas, biar gue bisa tau cara nyari literatur yang bener! Tadi sejam meeting sama librarian via zoom dan beneran, si librariannya ini share screen cara nyari di database, cara combine keywords, etc. Ya Allah.. hal yang gak gue temuin di Indonesia, jujurrr :")

Kenapa ya pembimbing di Indo (apalagi yg gak pernah kuliah di luar negeri, sorry to say) kaya susaaahh bgt dihubungi wk, sedangkan disini gue nge-reach out kaprodi aja fas respon bgt di email??! Mungkin kerjaan administratifnya kaga sebanyak di Indo kali ya?!

but anyway, kujadi semangat banget buat ngerjain topik ini, apalagi si supervisorku bilang "Nanti setelah selesai proyek, kita rapihin dan kita publish bareng2, ya!" Ya Allah 🥹 makin terharuuu, mamak-mamak ini diajak publikasi 🥹 Bismillah-bismillah semoga Allah ridho!

Alhamdulillah banget semester 2 ku semakin berwarna! Gak kaya semester 1 yang rasanya mau matek ngos2an abis wkwk, ini udahhalf way semester 2 rasanya lebih mulus aja Alhamdulillah (karena nggak semua matkul 12 week, jadi bisa atur2 energi wkwk).

Semoga Allah mudahkan dan Allah ridho. Doain ya, semoga bisa memaksimalkan waktu pas Hannah di Indonesia buat research lebih banyak bukannya malah berleha-leha wakakakakkaka.

ooooooo opinion on fruit trees that have free fruit in urban areas?

@underworlds-favourite

So this is a topic I don't really know a lot about so I kind of needed to extrapolate from what I do know. So I talk about the combination urban + green first.

That being said before you guys read my wall of text:

Depends on the tree and the area in question, I'd say.

In general I am supportive of the idea of growing more food and greenery in general in urban areas.

Rooftop gardens, urban gardening efforts, greenery on the side of building, I WANT IT ALL.

Urban gardening brings free food into communities and gardening is just straight up good for you. Time spent outside and caring for plants is good for your mental health.

Unsealing areas (removing pavement etc) allows for drainage of rainwater and often goes hand-i-hand with more greenery. (Keyword: sponge city)

IF DONE RIGHT, plants can also have a significant cooling effect, and give more shadow. Which is important in times of climate change.

And if you ever compare the look of a street with vs without trees - enormous difference. Just visually.

Now onto free fruit trees specifically:

Native trees are always better. Just in general, for everything. Wildlife, insects, they are all little racists that only like locals stuff /j. But seriously, local wildlife is adapted to local plants. If you are going for something better able to weather climate change, go for something from warmer regions from the same continent. It does make a difference!

Location is key here.

1: I'm not sure how much pollution, car exhaust, etc actually effect quality/ eatability of the product, someone who knows more about this than I do tell me.

2: Height is (possibly) another thing - if it is in a public place, where people are supposed to walk by and take food (as opposed to clearly connected to an apartment complex/ a set of apartment complexes), you really don't want for people to need to get a ladder. Berry bushes, raised garden beds with vegetables, etc are probably the better choice in this case, or just trees that grow fruit low. Just y'know. Keep things at people height.

3: Again especially for public places: (some) fruit trees are pretty "dirty". A lof of drooped fruit before it's ripe, or if it doesn't get harvested. And that turns gross and attracts wasps etc, and in a public place no one feels responsible for clean-up. But whether this os truly a problem is location dependent.

The last point can be mitigated by getting volunteers that take care of the project. A necessity in general in many cases - fruit trees are pretty easy once planted, but many vegetables you have to plant every year, weed, water, etc. But I feel with fruit trees especially one of the advantages is they don't need a lot of work and you can just put them there, so yeah.

In conclusion: If you want to start free food projects, whether as a grassroot effort from a local or if you are working for the municipality: look at your location. Think it through what kind of food would work best. Is the maintenance effort important, how much space do you have, what grows well under the local conditions, etc. And then do it! And despite all I've said don't let fear stop you. No plan survives first contact with the enemy, and you can adjust yours. It doesn't need to be perfect it just needs to work.

Also:

Fuck every politician and city planner ever that actively destroyed grassroot efforts for urban gardening and free food. I have nothing but contempt for you.

I would love to hear other peoples thoughts or experiences on the topic!

The key words shimmered and shifted, a code to be broken. They called to him, a siren song luring him closer. He studied them, his eyes narrowing in concentration. They were like a puzzle, a game to be solved. He had to figure out what they meant. Ramaswamy called climate change a hoax. Then the topic all but disappeared from the Republican debate. He wondered what it meant. Was it a sign? A portent of things to come? Or was it simply a diversion, a way to distract people from the real issues? He didn't know, but he was determined to find out.

[quijotine]

miraculous s5 finale was definitely,,,,, Something. But I did find it interesting that Luka is training to become a Guardian.

It was terribly hilarious and random, but imo it's the one thing that actually made quite a lot of sense.

In terms of stakes, it kind of parallels (and the keyword is kind of) Kagami's knowledge of the senti-twins, which is a nice callback to the supporting role of the alternate love interests.

idk how much longer miraculous will run for at this point i am convinced climate change will first kill us all than miraculous will end lmao but the fact Luka knows the identities of Marinette and Adrien, and that he holds the one miraculous able to turn back time actually make him a perfect candidate to be Marinette's successor as the Guardian if and when she needs to step down.

though honestly i don't think Marinette stepping down from her role as guardian is where the show is headed to. i am not sure how that would even be possible at this point nor i'll stick around to find out lol.
