New policy: If you post something blatantly hateful, I'm done with you - no matter how much I like you. I'm tired of tilting at windmills already. Is it so hard to criticize and protest the government of Israel without weird and gross attacks on Jewish people everywhere? Fucking stop. Just stop. Shut the fuck up. Keep your bigotry to yourself and your offline life.

Or don't - I'll just block you and pretend you never existed. In a week, maybe I'll forget we used to have fun posting back and forth. Hatred is a stomach-churner and a heartbreaker. Enough fedi for today. Please be less upsetting tomorrow.

I've also sent this out, but this is PARTICULARLY RELEVANT TO both the last week in Europe, AND the next week in the Eastern US. (surprisingly, not yet deleted -- I've already got it archived on the archive sites)

PNNL: Creating a Cool Room for Extreme Heat Events

"...Given the reality of global climate change and the increasing likelihood of extreme heat events, designing and retrofitting homes for resistance to extreme heat and power outages should be considered in all climates. Extending the "hours of safety" that a home can provide when air-conditioning is not available can be life-saving. However, it is not necessary for an entire home to be resistant to extreme heat. Instead, the design or retrofit can concentrate on just one room. When full-home-scale measures with backup power are cost-prohibitive, impractical, or not appropriate for the climate, a cool room can be a cost-effective and sensible approach...."

Any typos spotted in this post spent their Saturday afternoon at a protest against some more absolutely incomprehensible government tomfoolery. If typos spotted, they'll be filling out their submission to protest the Government's ridiculous Conservation Amendment Bill before 2nd July.

* If you're a Kiwi and want to make a submission, the link is below. Advice is to just say in simple words how much you love using the wonderful parks and nature here and how capitalizing on that land rather than conserving it would affect you.

I wonder what are some good battery powered fans. 🤔

I love me a good bumper sticker.

This is the future those who push for age verification want for us.

Unless trans women think my egg/flower joke is funny, it is a failure and I must delete.

Absolutely amazingly bald antisemitism quoted there. Celebrating the sentencing of Palestinian protesters is cruel, and it also seems designed to draw out the Jew-haters. Which it did. For someone concerned about the entire Palestinian population suffering because of the actions of some number of them, that responder sure seems OK with collective punishment. #antisemitism

A replica Roman odometer. At the end of each Roman mile, a gear wheel releases a metal or hardwood ball into a box causing a quite loud noise. The balls in the box are counted when the desired point is reached.

Hi, we saw you across the bar and thought you looked single and over 40? ...

Get divided, bab

Call for graphic artists, comics drawers and designers: At work we manage a small clothing brand where we can print and produce t-shirts, hoodies and accessories for a marginal price.

Our focus so far was to set up the shop in a robust way, find the best suppliers available and guarantee a top notch supply chain from print to delivery (to your door), while solely relying on Print On Demand to avoid having waste products nor storage costs.

So far we’ve managed to deliver on all these points + worked with great but very few (4/5) artists and designers to bring to life some comics characters, and curate the designs to a T. Our first collab artists were from places as far away as Australia or Latin America.

There is no specific theme, but for our previous releases we did get inspired by technology, cyberspace, or mythology and handmade techniques. We also work closely with electronic music artists and creative people from the music scene.

Now we can and will focus on design, and I’d love to collaborate with fedi artists, as there are plenty of talented people around here.

If you have some cool artowrks that you would like to see printed in high quality garments, get in touch…
