true detective: the long bright dark / disco elysium: jamais vu (derealization)

#in my true elysium slash disco detective universe forever #i have talked about this already but its funny that this quote was marty's breaking point. who has not felt about their hometown like this?#rust does not know this city well however which makes the feeling different but somehow still universal to the experience of growing up #in places that have to change to survive (be it bc of its economy or bc its simply outdated)#but the town in TT s1 appears to be decaying. at least to rust #imo one of the best shots and most defining of the show is that of the church abandoned and left to rot in nature with the factories #in the background. past and progress shown in one shot you know #but with the eps passing i would say that it is the people and their humanity that is decaying instead of the town #after all the town seems quite alright in terms of infrastructures #but the description of it as a jungle really does fit very well #both with the landscapes shown and the animals (men) lurking where you least expect them #true detective #rust cohle #marty hart #mine

Before and after the storm.

Took these snaps of this unusual looking building in North Yorkshire, England in 2021. It is - or was a microwave relay station disguised as a farm building. Last winter (22/23) high winds caused a little damage. A local resident has kindly given permission to add their post damage photos to this blog.

I keep seeing posts on here like 'wow I never knew how much info there isn't on the internet' or 'it's scary how much of our information isn't digitized' and a) you're probably wrong about that first part and b) with 'on the internet', they mean 'accessible via google/bing/duckduckgo' and I need people to understand that when information professionals talk about 'the internet' being humanities most ambitious data sharing project or how much scientific info there is to be found 'on the internet', we are talking about the other 80%ish of it. The vast majority of information on the internet will not be found by google because it's in unindexed, specialized, often not freely accessible databases. Like, when you google something, and get a jstore result, and you click over to jstore, a lot of you seem to think you're going Real Deep rn, but actually you are stepping off the stairs at the shallow end of the Olympic swimming pool onto the very first patch of the actual tiles of the pool floor, your hands still firmly on the railing.

#InfoData #the internet is like 10% the part you know 10% darkweb and then 80% the actual good stuff inbetween #seriously what are they teaching at American colleges this shit is making me insane #but yeah lack of digitization is a thing BUT. so is decay of existing analog data because 'well it's been digitized tho'#makes me feral that one #'well can you teach me' NOPE. idk what your speciality is or what infrastructure your institution/organisation/state/country has access to

alt-right weirdos with usernames like 'little wise boy of art and culture' will post a side by side photo of a mansion's baroque sitting room and a shit 1-bedroom apartment and be like 'look how art is dying. these are equivalent spaces for the purpose of my argument.'

#if u see a thread complaining abt modern hostile architecture or corporate minimism #where they wont even MENTION material factors of economics and inequality that shape public infrastructure #but instead keep implying that people are just spiritually and creatively decaying en-masse for reasons they keep playing coy abt #that's weird! that's a weird take!

The mystery flesh pit is maddeningly horrifying to YOU. She gets me though.

#idk i cant explain it its just lookingat that superorganism gives me a strong strong feeling of 'thats my home.'#the pit is the only thing left from the bygone era in which i belong. its all thats left of my origin.#like that part of 1984 with the lil coral paperweight and how its beautiful and so contrasting with the morality of the future and present.#because within the past lives.#maybe its something about collectivism and how we are all connected in an ecosystem like it or not.#maybe its the warm oblivion from which we all walked long long ago makin me miss the time before creation.#maybe its just that the permanasin superorganism looks kinda like a big vagina.#idk. but theres the past and theres my family and theres EVERYONE. the world can build infrastructure and burn books and sterilize #every beautiful act of decay. but she'll always be down there. just waiting.#individualism only lasts briefly from birth til death.#the world cant kill me as long as they cant kill her.

Sometimes I just don't understand society or people.

I have a great love for nature and environmentalism. Lately a report raised concern of the local dog parks quality in the news.

"They are dark and dirty" said the reviewer. "And the dogs have little to no activities". And it's true! I don't use the parks that often, because my dog has nothing to do in them. No water faucet, dog bags or play structures. Some are dug up or overgrown. Fallen trees get left for days and the gate locks are broken. We usually train for a few minutes, and then he wants to leave.

I left a comment on a public news article lamenting that the parks have low standards, with feces and trash inside - and how installing a bag dispenser by the entry would minimize some of the feces issue. Some karen then decided to lambaste me for being irresponsible and pinning the litter blame on me, for even daring to suggest our public areas of use have these amenities. Because how dare I not pick up after myself with my own trash bags (I do, but that's beside the point).

In the early days of owning a dog I often forgot my waste bags, because the design of the cheapest option is clunky and require you to rip 2-3 bags off a roll and keep in your pocket (this is why we see the waste bag roll hangers for sale). Dog owners usually chuckle at this, "oops, I forgot the bags in my other coat pocket". Which is fine, until you come across the issue of letting your dog loose at the park and not picking up. A report recently highlighted that the cost of owning a dog has gone up, with a lot of the money being expenditure on bags (the economic recession Sweden is around 40%, but the reported % monthly is somewhere around 10%). You can then easily see how in an low income area, you cut corners to make ends meet, because let's be real, nobody will give up their family member unless it's dire.

Supposedly in Austria, dog parks are better. At least to whom I spoke to. Dogs get to have running water, there is a bag dispenser and clearly marked trashcans. As for the lighting, I can't say. But I imagine they have better visibility at night as well.

My area has neither. The nearest trashcan is 500m away from the dog park if you decide to take the stroll path to the main park. I've found, and fallen on discarded bags because of this. And I've reported these issues to city hall.

I just despise that every time in this town you raise concern for environmental issues some grimy shitter is putting you down for suggesting things could be better. Don't speak up, and don't even think you are better than anyone. This is the law of jante, it's such a shit concept.

Needles to say, I told her to take her attitude to the trash where it belongs. And of course to pick up after herself, while reporting any issues to the city hall like a normal adult would do.

Just had the flight from hell (4.5 hour delay, arrived at 2am local time aka 5am mentally, had a small child sitting directly behind me, forced to check my bag at the last minute) curious what I did in a past life to earn this

#I’ve decided it’s my punishment for traveling at a peak time when normally I avoid that #also the fact our infrastructure and capacity is actively decaying but it’s okay shareholders are getting paid #maybe a notoriously difficult to profit in industry should not be for profit #just a thought

Legit though, we should start turning ecosystem restoration and work to make our world more tolerant to the effects of climate change into annual holidays and festivals

Like how just about every culture used to have festivals to celebrate the beginning of the harvest or its end, or the beginning of planting, or how whole communities used to host barn raisings and quilting bees - everyone coming together at once to turn the work of months or years into the work of a few days

Humble suggestions for festival types:

Goat festival

Besides controlled burns (which you can't do if there's too much dead brush), the fastest, most effective, and most cost-efficient way to clear brush before fire season - esp really heavy dead brush - is to just. Put a bunch of goats on your land for a few days!

Remember that Shark Tank competitor who wanted to start a goat rental company, and everyone was like wtf? There was even a whole John Oliver bit making fun of the idea? Well THAT JUST PROVES THEY'RE FROM NICE WET PLACES, because goat rental companies are totally a thing, and they're great.

So like. Why don't we have a weekend where everyone with goats just takes those goats to the nearest land that needs a ton of clearing? Public officials could put up maps of where on public lands grazing is needed, and where it definitely shouldn't happen. Farmers and people/groups with a lot of acres that need clearing can post Goat Requests.

Little kids can make goat-themed crafts and give the goats lots of pets or treats at the end of the day for doing such a good job. Volunteers can help wrangle things so goats don't get where they're not supposed to (and everyone fences off land nowadays anyway, mostly). And the goats, of course, would be in fucking banquet paradise.

Planting Festival and Harvest Festival

Why mess with success??? Bring these back where they've disappeared!!! Time to swarm the community gardens and help everyone near you with a farm make sure that all of their seeds are sown and none of the food goes to waste in the fields, decaying and unpicked.

And then set up distribution parts of the festival so all the extra food gets where it needs to be! Boxes of free lemons in front of your house because you have 80 goddamned lemons are great, but you know what else would be great? An organized effort to take that shit to food pantries (which SUPER rarely get fresh produce, because they can't hold anything perishable for long at all) and community/farmer's markets

Rain Capture Festival

The "water year" - how we track annual rainfall and precipitation - is offset from the regular calendar year because, like, that's just when water cycles through the ecosystems (e.g. meltwater). At least in the US, the water year is October 1st through September 30th of the next year, because October 1st is around when all the snowmelt from last year is gone, and a new cycle is starting as rain begins to fall again in earnest.

So why don't we all have a big barn raising equivalent every September to build rain capture infrastructure?

Team up with some neighbors to turn one of those little grass strips on the sidewalk into a rain-garden with fall-planting plants. Go down to your local church and help them install some gutters and rain barrels. Help deculvert rivers so they run through the dirt again, and make sure all the storm drains in your neighborhood are nice and clear.

Even better, all of this - ESPECIALLY the rain gardens - will also help a ton with flood control!

I'm so serious about how cool this could be, yall.

And people who can't or don't want to do physical stuff for any of these festivals could volunteer to watch children or cook food for the festival or whatever else might need to be done!

Parties afterward to celebrate all the good work done! Community building and direct local improvements to help protect ourselves from climate change!

The possibilities are literally endless, so not to sound like an influencer or some shit, but please DO comment or reply or put it in the notes if you have thoughts, esp on other things we could hold festivals like this for.

Canning festivals. "Dig your elderly neighbors out of the snow" festivals. Endangered species nesting count festival. Plant fruit trees on public land and parks festival. All of the things that I don't know anywhere near enough to think of. Especially in more niche or extreme ecosystems, there are so many possibilities that could do a lot of good

i hate how liberals just want you to accept horrible anti worker corporate practices and decaying ancient infrastructure as unavoidable unchangeable things that no one is to blame for if something happens as a result, its like a sneak peak of what theyll say as climate change gets worse lol
