There is no way to reach out #NetZero by 2050 without addressing domestic property #retrofit. 20% of our carbon emissions are from homes heated by fossil fuels.
#Sunak is living in cloud cuckoo land if he thinks we can ignore retrofitting homes and delay getting off petrol/diesel fuelled cars.
Yes it costs. Not paying means complete #ClimateBreakdown and leaving us as a country in a very precarious state.
New recycling method makes solar cells even more environmentally friendly
All the major elements in a solar panel can be reclaimed using less energy.
A friend just pointed out:
"ADHD creates impulse control issues and, consequently, advertising takes advantage of a disability. Ergo, ad blockers are assistive devices and interfering with their operation for commercial gain constitutes a willful violation of the ADA."
Letโs do this.
I'm fairly convinced that this is actually how it works. It would explain a lot about how folks with ADHD often express that they literally cannot use the web without an adblocker, whereas other folks often seem to be able to mentally ignore the ads.
That seems like pretty damning evidence that this is targeted disruption to ADHD folks.
Oh geez, I am a dummy. I took a whole bunch of photos this morning before changing into more usable clothes for daytime, uploaded them, but completely forgot to actually make a post including them. Go me.
So, good spider-morning all!
(Sorry about the alt-texts. Also, there are 8 pictures, for those whose platforms only show them the first few.)

For years, we used to explain to folks that we experienced a phonological delay in processing speech or sounds, and that it was likely linked to us being autistic.
We only later worked out that we're actually AuDHD (inattentive ADHD and autistic) and that there's an actual medical term for this: auditory processing disorder.
If you're some flavour of neurospicy, you might have it too without realising. Common signs and symptoms include:
- speaking louder or softer than is situationally appropriate;
- difficulty remembering lists or sequences;
- needing words or sentences to be repeated;
- impaired ability to memorize information learned by listening;
- interpreting words too literally;
- needing assistance to hear clearly in noisy environments;
- relying on accommodation and modification strategies;
- finding or requesting a quiet work space away from others;
- requesting written material when attending oral presentations; and
- asking for directions to be given one step at a time.
It heavily overlaps with ADHD and autism

"Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life."
It doesn't work like that. It's more like this:
"Do what you love and the industry will systematically destroy all joy you once found in it."
i think one of the most offensive problems with bedrock edition is that you are FREQUENTLY exposed to things that you cannot ever make yourself, which defeats the whole point of being a game centred around creation i think
the featured servers? all of the custom menus and 3d models you see cant be replicated the content on the minecraft store? you cant make any of it yourself the 15th anniversary map? does a bunch of stuff that normal players cant make
the most advanced thing a bedrock player can do is screw around with the flawed broken redstone. you have you to sign an nda with microsoft to have access to the developer edition, which straight up just lets you make almost anything, and none of it can be done in vanilla bedrock edition
in java edition, if you see it, you can make it. everything you see on the most popular java edition servers, maps, texture packs, mods, can be MADE by ANYONE with enough passion, skill, and motivation. hell, you yourself could put together a team and build a competitor to hypixel, the most powerful and popular server in java edition, FOR FREE, with off the shelf tools
the fact that roblox gives typical users more development freedom than minecraft bedrock edition is just seriously sad. fuck bedrock editon, fuck microsoft, fuck microsoft studios, and fuck mojang redmond

In 1945, a woman named Lucy Hicks Anderson was arrested for the crime of marrying her husband, Reuben Anderson, a soldier in the US Army.
Lucy Lawson seemingly always knew exactly who she was. In 1886, a beautiful black baby was born to Bill and Nancy Lawson of Waddy, KY. While this child was identified as male, she insisted that she was a girl. She chose the name Lucy and informed her parents that she would be wearing dresses to school.
At this point in history, the term 'transgender' had not yet been coined, and public knowledge about trans people was sadly lacking. Confounded, her mother and father took her to see the local doctor who advised them to raise her as they would any other little girl. Bill and Nancy did just that. And by all accounts, Lucy's childhood and school years were uneventful and happy.
At age 15, Lucy left home, taking domestic work to support herself, then moved west, first to Texas then to New Mexico where she married her first husband, a man named Clarence Hicks, in Silver City, NM. The couple settled in Oxnard, CA, a wealthy community about an hour up the coast from Los Angeles. There, Lucy's culinary skills opened doors for her, and she began to cater elaborate parties for Oxnard's rich and elite. Her rolls and fruitcakes reportedly won many local contests and awards. Lucy worked diligently and tirelessly, and saved nearly every penny she earned from her employment as a domestic worker, a nanny, and a cook. And in 1920, at the age of 34, Lucy managed to save enough to purchase business property โ a local brothel.
Lucy's brothel operated between 1920 and 1933, a period in American history known as Prohibition. During this time, selling alcohol was illegal. But as a brothel madam, Lucy had already skipped merrily over the lines of propriety, so she served her customers alcohol anyway.
In 1929, Lucy divorced Clarence Hicks. Not much is known about her marriage or divorce to Clarence, so we can infer that the separation was mutual and uncontested by either party. Lucy kept her business, and kept bootlegging alcohol.
She was busted a few times, but her numerous social connections with wealthy socialites allowed her to avoid any aggressive prosecution. Rumor has it that one wealthy banker even posted her bail so that she could cater his party that evening.
In 1944, Lucy fell in love a second time. At 58 years old, she met and married the love of her life, Reuben Anderson. Reuben was a soldier stationed in Long Island, NY. But their happiness was not to last.
Just one year after their marriage, a sailor claimed he had caught a venereal disease from one of the women at Lucy's brothel. At that time, the law required all sex workers to undergo a medical examination, and the Ventura County examiner insisted on including Lucy. It was at this time that her trans identity was revealed, and subsequently made public. He chose to put her on trial for perjury, arguing that she lied on her marriage licence, impersonated a woman, and stole VA benefits to which military spouses were entitled. After the story ran in a small Pacific coast newspaper, Time Magazine ran an article on Lucy, exposing her as a trans woman to the entire nation.
During her trial, Lucy stated in her defense, "I defy any doctor in the world to prove that I am not a woman. I have lived, dressed, acted just what I am, a woman". However, the court convicted both her and Reuben of perjury, and they were both sentenced to incarceration in a male prison. Lucy in particular was court ordered not to wear women's clothes.
Reuben and Lucy's relationship survived these indignities, somehow. After serving ten long years in a male penitentiary, Lucy and her beloved Reuben retired to Los Angeles, where they quietly lived out the remainder of their lives together. At age 68, Lucy Hicks Anderson died and was mourned by all who knew her.
Lucy Hicks Anderson was not an activist. She was not even known as a trans woman for the vast majority of her life. She simply wanted to live her life, love her loves, and pursue the projects and interests that made her happy. Lucy wanted only one thing out of life, and that was to be the woman she knew herself to be. And it turns out she was willing to fight for that.
Tell our stories.
