There is no amount of money, oil, or gold that is worth more than having bees, trees, and clean water.
i've got the kind of eyebags that make people in movies say 'you look like hell, detective. go home.'
energy policy would be much better if we still had a tradition of animal sacrifice I think. people would be way more chill about nuclear energy if they could see a large and proud bull being ritually sacrificed every month or so at the base of the cooling towers to keep the plant safe
[Text ID: 1. #so when I was in schooling for power plant work #my applied electrical theory instructor told us about this thing his crew had #called The Load Toad #who was a totemic frog statue that was long ago bought for the plant #and displayed over the switchboard for all the distributd loads (hence the name)
#apparently The Load Toad was a force everyone in the electrical division sincerely believed needed to be appeased #and the ritual for doing so involved the blood of a virgin (easy to get in a nuclear power plant tbh) and chicken bones #you'd burn the bones in a burning bowl after splashing them with the virginal sacrifice
#ANYWAYS apparently one time they got a new head who was either devout Methodist or Mormon I forget #and he made them stop like all of that with firing threats and criminal threats too #then every day for a month 4 loads would randomly inexplicably fail #at first he blamed the men for acting out the Toad's vengeance #but after babysitting down in the pit himself he could see that all the failures were borderline miraculous and impossible to anticipate
#so without admitting his wrong he just threw a kfc bucket full of bones into the breakroom and curtly said "just make it stop" #moral of the story I actually agree with this sentiment #prev [left arrow]

its probably a normal sign for the economy that all of my adulthood fantasies are like "imagine having your own kitchen living room and bathroom to decorate" "what if i could get on a train" "maybe one day i could purchase a sturdy pair of shoes" "i should save and invest in a single bicycle"

ALTEdited to add: Since a lot of people are reblogging this original post, I'm adding the updated version I did that incorporates the intersex circle...
ALTI know intersex people are still getting excluded in a lot of LGBTQIA+ spaces (let alone wider society) and I think it's crucial to show this group is included in the statement that we all deserve equal rights.
