Bonus Question Answers! (live action heat 2)
I asked a silly question! You gave me incredible answers. SO VERY MANY INCREDIBLE ANSWERS. Now, I present my favourites, but pity me, because it was SO HARD.
If your answer is listed below, you’ve earned an entry in a random draw to win a GIFTENING liveblog OF YOUR CHOICE
—
Q: What is your favourite Least Known And Probably True No Really I Swear Jet Wolf Fact?
* Once ate a sweater in a blind rage between chapters of the manga -- Achi [TRUE, except it wasn’t just one]
* Jet Wolf is Neither A Rock Nor An Island -- @amberlilly [YES EXACTLY DON’T LISTEN TO THE LIARS]
* Jet wolf's liveblogs average both .05 scenes per minute but at 1000X the words per scene. With roughly 75.5% of those words being in the hashtags alone. (And we wouldn't have it any other way.) -- forgottenfae [I haven’t done the math, but that sounds about right!]
* The trigger word for her agent activation is "McElroys" -- Holligay [HAHA I HATE YOU GO TO HELL]
* Jet Wolf's is a secret agent, fighting against a netherverse's plot to take over the world via toilets. She secretly saved Doc's life that night, but no one will remember it as anything but just a drunken toilet punching. -- @kumeko [THANK YOU FOR RECOGNIZING MY TRUE HEROISM THAT NIGHT]

TALC LAWSUITS
Talcum Powder Lawsuits
Ever since Johnson & Johnson was ordered to pay an eye popping $4.69 billion in damages by a Missouri court in May 2019 (later adjusted to $2.12 billion) the public has had Talcum Powder induced Ovarian cancer on their radar.
These lawsuits came in the same time as the “Me Too” movement, and for many women, they felt like Johnson & Johnson deserved a place in the ranks of accused evildoers like Harvey Weinstein. The #MeToo hashtag went viral three years ago on Oct. 15, 2017, sparking a global conversation about sexual harassment and assault. For many women the parallels between #MeToo and Johnson & Johnson are painfully similar.
A trusted company sold a product they billed as a kind of personal “sanitation,” that has alleged to have tragically resulted in Ovarian cancer and death.
The not so subtle message to women was that “down there” was a place that if not cared for by Talcum Powder would result in shame and embarassment. J&J preyed on women’s worst fears and now they are fighting back.
Black and Hispanic Women Targeted
What makes this sad saga even worse is that after Johnson & Johnson had evidence that talcum powder was harming women they re-focused their marketing on Black and Hispanic women and continued to sell the product.
Many women of color have told stories of talcum powder being a ritual handed down from mother to daughter.
This ritual of talc use was no doubt encouraged by J&J distributing samples of its baby powder to churches and salons throughout the black community. Johnson & Johnson continued this practice and targeted marketing despite the knowledge they could be putting women of color at risk. Now women are mobilizing and making their voices hear, and IPG Law Group is here to help.
FDA Issues Warning on Talc
The danger of talc in baby powder dates back to the early 1970’s and is linked to asbestos, a known carcinogen, that can be found in talc. In 2019 Johnson & Johnson prodded by the FDA, conducted a voluntary recall.
The FDA stated in October 2019:
During talc mining, if talc mining sites are not selected carefully and steps are not taken to purify the talc ore sufficiently, the talc may be contaminated with asbestos. Asbestos is a known carcinogen.
Suffered from Ovarian Cancer and Used Talcum Powder?
If you or a loved one has had Ovarian Cancer and used talc for personal hygiene you owe it to yourself to act. Learn your rights, and get the help you need. IPG Law Group specializes in advocacy for the under-served and exploited, and we will stand with you in this fight.

HSE launches search for acts and messages of kindness towards Britain’s builders
Members of the public are being encouraged to share messages and acts of kindness for those working in the construction industry, in the run-up to Valentine’s Day.
Using both #WorkRight and #WeCare hashtags, the public are being encouraged to tweet the Health and Safety Executive (@H_S_E) with the little things they do for the construction workers in their lives or send in anonymous messages to strangers just to show they are cared for and appreciated.
HSE hopes that by builders seeing these messages, even if they’re from a stranger, it will encourage them to reflect and take workplace health and safety more seriously.
This drive comes at a time when the regulator is currently inspecting construction sites across London in relation to the management of asbestos with inspectors specifically looking for evidence of construction workers knowing the risks, planning their work and using the right controls when it comes to working with asbestos to protect them from exposure.
HSE’s Andy Gay, acting chief inspector of construction said:
“We are hoping the acts of kindness will remind builders to use the right controls and protect themselves from asbestos because there are people out there who care and would be affected if they became ill or developed cancer later in life.
“Asbestos remains one of the biggest risks to construction workers’ health with 3,500 people from the industry dying each year as a result of work-related cancers, linked mainly to asbestos exposure. Our inspectors are out visiting sites at the moment to ensure employers and workers are taking the necessary steps to protect against asbestos exposure.
“We must ensure all workers are protected and are not made ill or killed by their work. Everyone should be able to leave work and go home healthy to their families.”
Follow the campaign on Twitter at @H_S_E, on Facebook via @hsegovuk and @SaferSites. You can also join the conversation by using #WorkRight and #WeCare

#tap
The alkaline tang
of metal drips
as I take baby sips
from cup filled by faucet,
& let it coat esophagus,
setting up residence
in this bird-cave chest.
Mud-brown sludge
led me
to think I’m unclean
but who fed us that mentality?
Do we throw babies out with bathwater?
I’m from a city where bodies drop
& no one stops
to ponder
or worry why— “Well, they just die. . .”
A new ark with no flotation,
just water—water
everywhere.
Filthy sinks afloat
in a wash of despair;
their benefits, ribbons & flag-filtered
profile pics display how such philanthropists
& hashtagging humanists make much of Parkland
or Connecticut—wherever’s affluent & in the midst of tragedy.
This could happen anywhere else & be a huge thing
except for
where they don’t care about;
Newark & Flint & Irvington
this type of crime happens
every day since rent control
turned our temples tenements,
placed lead in our curriculum—
it’s a simple system, trickle-down neglectomics,
“Let them eat paint…”
Marie Antoinette Aristocats
shovel shit in boxes & cover-up,
stoic as cancer dolls—asbestos lined halls,
a new age ethnic cleanse like Tuskeege—smallpox,
typhus & cholera—totally not on purpose, tho
you know; the same way white crime
is like white lies;
innocent & victimless
but is it when it cripples kids
before they form full sentences
& suffer permanent brain damage,
making us the statistic they insisted
would perform below standards—Sir, Sir!
Governor Snyder, Christie;
you won’t do time for this
boldfaced, blatant dis-
regard of those in poverty.
Dub this ‘the Eugenics Movement pt. 2’,
use children as bargain chips
& guinea pigs & plead ignorance
when CNN comes calling for exposés
on how inaction’s led to death, dismemberment
& war in streets & even deeper pits dug in slums
we can never climb out from with lead slippers on
& Government-issue shovels as the very same System
they built keeps us pent up in the pens they refuse to clean;
travel to, campaign in, take away the basic foundations
of funding for education, protection of housing
regulations meant to prevent gentrification
nests, passed to prevent inner city gaggles from flocking out,
White Flight is not like migratory patterns
as you know them—when they go,
not one bird returns
except to say how nice
this place once was.
Alpine Swifts pass out
Brita filters, swear the source
is safe to wade when they never dipped toe,
refuse to sip from fountain feeding
this city’s veins quickly hemorrhaging
each gushing main, the kind of place
you wouldn’t wait for firemen to crack open
hydrants on ‘cause it might splash back in fray.
My grandfather was a fire Captain in Newark,
called in to a South Ward five alarm
one May day, he died
of asphyxiation
amongst the flames
& foundation crumbling,
despite knowing there was
likely no one in there to save.
He went in anyway.
& perhaps that’s how we salvage this,
we go back in
instead of fleeing
when smoke gets thick.
Ashes, like flighty dust-mites drift
in droves, a flock of doves
leaving us to squabble
for crumbs
in colonies of rubble
they long forgot about,
but fuck their lack of action—
we’ll stay & face the flames
devouring our homely place, their ghetto
of a mentality, gulping life like muddy straws
plunged into every pigeon-holed lung
collapsing, sick as drinks
drunk from birdbaths
where babies
wade
face-down.
Water, water,
everywhere
& not a solitary drop of it spilled
Cries & shouts & bodies
drop
from colonnades—
*thud*
B-bodies?
What bodies?
Huh—here,
*Tap Tap*
Have a drink…
Drown all those voices out…
Burn, baby,
burn.

Speculative blue dust
What is this strange blue material? Crocidolite or better
known as blue asbestos is a material that has been used
to manipulate the lives of the people by creating a dreamy
utopian vision which twisted into a complete nightmare
causing deaths and tragedies in Wittenoom town, West
Australia. In 1930's blue asbestos was found in the Gorges
of Wittenoom where the mines and mill were soon built to
extract the blue material from the ground. In total around
150 000 tones of this blue material have been mined and
shipped overseas. Blue asbestos was used to produce
approximately 3000 different typologies of products used in
households such as floor tiles, roof tiles, fire-proof curtains
as well as production of WW2 equipment. The material
was worshiped due to it’s affordability, great properties of
heat-resistance and fire-proofness. The roads of Wittenoom
town were all covered in this material in order to reduce the
heat in the desert landscape of WA. Later on, the hazardous
effect of blue asbestos dust was discovered when miners,
their wives and children started to feel the pressure on
their lungs. It turned out that the fibres of blue asbestos
are extremely small that they get inhaled and stuck into
lungs causing asbestosis, mesothelioma and lung cancer. In
comparison with other typologies of asbestos - blue one is
the most hazzardous since the particles are the smallest. In
total around 10 000 people died from the decease caused
by this speculative blue dust and 500 Australians are still
being diagnosed with asbestos related deseases every
year. In 2008 the town of Wittenoom was officially closed
and deleted from the maps. The town yet still remains full
of this toxic material spread on the roads, airport strip,
former locations of the houses and especially Wittenoom
mine which is 10km away from the town. The whole story of
Wittenoom could be perceived as a collective experiment
expressed as a trial on 'Petri plate' taking into consideration
two ingredients - human and blue asbestos. Considering all
the context and historical sequence of blue asbestos dust
journey from mines to all over Wittenoom, Australia and the
world, what is the next phase of this collective experiment
specifically in the area of toxic wasteland of Wittenoom?
Retrospective Odyssey
The continuum of collective experiment is aiming to collect
the dust fibres from contaminated area and bring them back
into the place where they came from - Wittenoom mines -
by implementing different levels of experiences. In order
to achieve this goal, certain neighbouring intelligences are
introduced in the area.
Every movement of human, animal and especially wind
moves the dust and spreads the particles creating toxic
environment for all living forms. In order to capture the
presence of moving dust particles the grid of sensors is
introduced into the area. The sensors are small weather
stations that include 3 typologies of sensors: anemometer
(wind speed sensor), wind direction sensor and dust
sensor. All collected data is then converted into 3D layer of
'dustscape' tracking and sensoring the real - time movement
and presence of the particles. The data is visualised to
the person by using Virtual Reality glasses or Augmented
Reality glasses accordingly to their status, accesibility to
information and location.
Who are the people to whom this is addressed?
Homo Scepticus - the 'non-believers' - 3 residents (Loraine,
Mario, Peter) who refused to leave contaminated town and
do not believe in the toxicity of the landscape. They still
enjoy soltitude of living in the abandoned ghost town close
to the nature. In order to survive they had to create their
own ways of living there by pumping their own water from
the ground, using electricity generator, growing their own
vegetables and planning every shopping since nearest
town is 120km away.
Homo Nostalgicus - nostalgics / sensitive ones who used to
live in Wittenoom or have any other relation with the town.
The community consists of at least 1600 people who share
their knowledge and memories of their previous dreamy
lives in Wittenoom in closed group in 'Facebook' called
‘Lost Wittenoom’.
Homo Curiosum - toxic tourists / curious travellers - the
crazy ones who come to visit the ghost town and share their
experiences in social media on 'Instagram' by using hashtag
#Wittenoom. Approximately 40 000 curious travellers visit
noxious landscape of Wittenoom every year.
Homo Agoraphobic - remote travellers / settled ones who
do not visit the actual site but explore the ghost town on
'Google' maps and obssesively read all possible articles in
relation with the place.
Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality experience is
addressed to all those typologies of people accordingly
to their location - virtual or physical, unlocking and revealing
different typologies of information according to their status.
How does the voyage of the traveller in the noxious
landscape of Wittenoom look like?
1. Arrival. The person travelling to Wittenoom has two roads
to enter the site - East and West entrances where firstly a
traveller is ought to enter the 'Gate' structure where the
car has to be left.
2. Filtering. A person has to enter the filtering corridor where
the clothes should be removed and a suit with which a person
is allowed to explore the area behind the gates is put on.
3. Protocol. In the filtering corridor person is ought to listen
to the declaration of new definitions in the toxic wasteland.
MONUMENT - not permanent but rather temporary, mobile,
adaptable to locations and emotional levels accordingly to
each spectator. Not physical but digital, psychic.
ENVIRONMENT - is still toxic.
INFRASTRUCTURE - a form of liberation and creativity of an
individual to choose the paths of movement and creation
of clusters although the general sequence of retrospective
odyssey must be followed.
At the end of the corridor a person must sign the protocol
by palm scan - a reference to aboriginal cave art.
4. 'Mobile nomadic shelter'. In the 'Gate' structure person
receives mobile nomadic shelter - 'Wittenoom walker' - with
which he can proceed to explore the area.
5. Free-walking / 'Particularities' festival. Person can
freely walk wherever he prefers to explore the traces of
the lost town or participate in ‘Particularities’ festival on the
contaminated surface of airport strip. The goal of the festival
is to dance-off the dust from the surface and collect it.
6. 'Lungs'. During the free walking journey at the area a
person is collecting the dust on the way. At the end of the
valley, above the mines of Wittenoom the 'Lung' structure
is situated where a person enters another filtering system
- 'dedustification' Phase 1.
7. Collection - pressing. The collected dust is transported
to pressing machine and pressed material is stored in the
mines. A person is allowed to explore the mines, after that
comes 'dedustification' Phase 2.
8. Solar chimney. From this point person can travel to 'Solar
Harvesting' structure which is the place to experience the
levels of air freshness and harvest solar energy in order to
gain power to maintain all the elements.
9. Baloon voyage. The air from solar chimney is used to inflate
the hot air ballon which is the last part of transportation.
From this point human can travel back to the entrance 'Gate'
structure and complete the journey.
All together the odyssey from one point to another is oriented
in a way to reveal different levels of toxicity, different parts of
history and raise different emotions by telling a story of lost
noxious landscape of Wittenoom touching every typology
of humans accordingly to who they are and how they are
related to this very specific location of this athropocene.
