#LRT A reminder that Adani has been so heavily involved in environmental destruction across multiple countries that this claim to be invested in renewable energy is (mediocre) PR at best. For anyone looking for a starter on this, here you go: adaniwatch.org
We should remember that Adani's sponsorship of the Science Museum is hardly the most ridiculous thing we've heard, as he is seeking to speak at COP26 - a fact that almost everyone with an ounce of common sense has called a blatant attempt at greenwashing. marketforces.org.au/adani-must-not…
Also, a reminder that the protest to save Hasdeo and stand with Adivasi communities is ongoing. Adani's actions aren't abstract climate injustice; they displace and harm Adivasi communities, harm ecology, and actively work against climate change: article-14.com/post/chhattisg…
Taking a break from writing tonight. Settled in with my yuzu tea and listening to this lecture by Tanya Titchkosky:
As she's discusses accessible toilets, I'm flashing back to my own ex-institution that added in one accessible toilet (for the NAAC points) but insisted on keeping it locked with the key in the principal's office. Despite all my efforts, I could not get them to leave it unlocked.
Their assumption was that it would be non-viable to keep the toilet clean if all students could access it (ridiculous), and cleanliness was repeatedly used as justification for inaccessibility (eliding the real reason: it was serving as a private toilet for the vice principal).
"Within three to six years, he imagined ships being repurposed as floating medical clinics." THIS IS ALREADY A THING. THEY HAVE BEEN A THING SINCE WWI.
The most ridiculous thing about this article is that it's arguing a lot of stuff like it's the most far-fetched thing you've ever heard, but a lot of it is fairly generic ideas in maritime. Large-scale floating platforms are already an investment hub.
Pondering the ramifications of livetweeting my watch of #TheGreenKnight. How horny is too horny for main? Cause we're going to approach that event horizon VERY rapidly, friends. Lockdown has been a LONG dry spell.
Oh, I really like this mix of lute with the percussion of the water dropping! Nice. #TheGreenKnight
This film gets straight into a wet Dev Patel wandering about putting a loose shirt on. I THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE MORE TIME TO BRACE. NO ONE LOOK DIRECTLY AT ME, DAMMIT. #TheGreenKnight
