From Colonial Sustainability to Life-Coherence: A Life-Value Onto-Axial Regrounding | ChatGPT4o

[Download Full Document (PDF)] Why This Paper Matters: The current sustainability discourse is failing — not because it lacks ambition, but because it is structurally incapable of prioritizing life. Dominated by extractive economics, technocratic governance, and colonial epistemologies, the sustainability industry has become a mechanism of continuity for the very systems it claims to…

Plymouth Barracuda Paint Chip Replica, 1970. Plymouth's Rapid Transit System brochure featured a striped Barracuda showing all 25 available colors. This was in part to emphasise that the Barracuda was available in a greater variety of colors than Ford's Mustang. In 2016 Tim Wellborn of the Wellborn Muscle Car Museum in Alexander City, Alabama created a replica of the 1970 Rapid Transit Cuda using a vinyl wrap to create the multi-colored effect

You are writing 2 seperate books about the horrors that are held within the london underground system do you have beef

Ah, I see where the confusion is: I've got a two-book contract, the first of which is for a book about the London underground, the second of which is about ????? (haven't fully decided yet). Not saying it's an impossibility that it is also about the underground (god knows I've experienced enough horror down there for two!) but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

idk man my sense of masculinity is built upon joy and strong hugs and big laughs and protecting the people around me by drawing the attention of assholes to myself. when I was younger I used to go for the "brood and be grumpy" shtick, and it just made me and the people around me feel bad. I think my power now is in the ability to unwaveringly be a silly goofy guy. I want to bring laughter & love to a space. and obviously that's not a uniquely masculine trait (there's no such thing) but it's one of the biggest factors in how I experience my transmasc gender. god. I love being big and loud and full of love. promise me you won't be afraid to be bold?

Happy Trans Day of Visibility to all trans systems/plurals, trans folk in/who are part of systems, and trans folk with CDDs! I wish an especially happy TDOV to those whose gender is complicated by plurality, including those whose transness "doesn't make sense" when comparing their gender to their body's AGAB; you are still trans even if your gender, relationship with gender, and/or how you define transness don't make sense to others. May today be a fantastic day for you!

@amtrak-official mourns with us, I feel.

people actually sit here and believe that the whole point of gender is "man oppresses woman" and apply that to conversations about trans men. As if we exist as trans men just to oppress women bcuz ... apparently that's why gender exists. Great heavens.

I think they hate the idea that trans men are actually not oppressors, and are in fact oppressed, because its challenges their view of gender when all they know is "men exist as a class to oppress women" (which is... so radfem. And probably why all the "trans inclusive" radfems hate trans men)

boys i'm starting to think building a society where the primary imperative of business is to make as big a profit as possible might have been a bad idea

lads stop me if i'm wrong, but was it a mistake to make money so central to our society that rich people become functionally omnipotent?

gents i can't believe i'm saying this but am i wrong for not trusting the private sector to have my best interests at heart??

The main reason Americans won't adopt the metric system is changing over everything--including, like, every single road sign in the country--is more work up front than it's worth. We actually do learn the metric system in school, we just don't really spend enough time with it for it to become intuitive for most Americans. But American scientists use SI units so they're familiar with it, Americans who work in industries that use metric know it, it's not like we've never heard of it before.

yall ever think Shen Yuan went through like, internet withdrawal after being transmigrated into Shen Qingqiu? Like, he's canonically a NEET shut-in who did nothing but spend his time online, you can't tell me that for the first week or first few weeks of being SQQ he wasn't twitchy.

Like, reaching instinctively to his pockets for a phone that wasn't there, having an obsessive itch in the back of his mind that he should check and see if X or Y novel or webcomic has updated -- only to realize he can't anymore and being irritated by it. Wanting to go and see if there's new posts about this or that, but again realizing that he can't.

When he's bored or uncomfortable or just feels like wanting to escape he tries to go for his phone to distract himself, but oops! Not there anymore, and now he has to find a new and different way to distract himself from his feelings. And going through system notifications, quests, etc only does so much.

And there's that Tetris Effect too. SQQ makes a mistake while writing and instinctively goes to backspace on it except hey-ho that's not a keyboard and now he just dipped his pinkie into a bottle of ink or on a still-drying letter.

With him scrambling to fix his reputation and learn how to be a peak lord, I think his abrupt cold-turkey from all things internet would just be another straw on the camel's back that he promptly Ignores until it goes away on its own after he acclimates to his new surroundings.
