»#Culture holds immense power, both in connecting disparate communities and in shaping formations of shared identity. Preserving #Palestinian culture poses a grave threat to #Israel’s genocidal project. In conjunction with organizing in solidarity with the movement for a free #Palestine, it is imperative to also support the preservation of this #history.

The following are my favorite free and digital #resources to better learn and engage with Palestinian culture:«

@samsterby the Global South countries having the same standard of living as those of the Global North when we are talking about a human #population on this planet of 8 billion+, even with considerable redistribution of #resources from north to south. Just imagine, if you will, every single #Chinese & #Indian adult having a #fossilfuel powered road vehicle, & the #CO2 #emissions that would result! Call me a racist if you like, but that is a nightmare scenario!

Heute ist der weltweite Erdüberlastungstag / Earth Overshoot Day 2025. Ab diesem Tag lebt die Welt auf Pump.
Je nach Land und Ressourcenverbrauch kann sich dieser Tag verschieben overshoot.footprintnetwork.org
Durch die Nachnutzung von ausrangierter IT leistet Labdoo einen kleinen Beitrag zur Schonung von Ressourcen. Aber es muss noch viel mehr getan werden.

Continued thread

so here is the thing:

humanity is a #natural #system. i #hope we can all agree on that one. we know about these systems that they all behave a certain type of way, that they grow & require #energy & #resources to maintain.

we can also agree that earth is a sphere in effing space and sort of materailly limited.

it is a obvious as can possibly be to a 3 year old, but the libs, they just can't have it. endless growth on a finite planet! everyone's gonna be a millionaire!

"Value-per-acre analysis is powerful because it reveals what raw numbers often miss: how efficiently #land contributes to a community’s #financial #health. It doesn’t tell #cities what to build or where to build it. But it helps communities see which investments generate lasting #value, and which ones may quietly drain #resources over time."

Free Manual Wheelchair Reference Models (Version 2)
I've updated the wheelchair models I released for last year's Disability pride month to include adjustable shaders/materials that carry over into programs like Clip Studio Paint for folks who just want to use them as reference, and (what I hope is) a clearer guide on how to use, import/export and make alterations to them!
Each chair is designed to suit different kinds of characters with different disabilities and lifestyles. The chairs available right now are:

2 Active urban-style chairs (one of which includes a rear-mounted power assist)
1 off-road active chair
1 children's wheelchair
and 1 standard "hospital" wheelchair.

and I'm planning to add 2 more by the end of disability pride month (2025)
ko-fi.com/cycyborg/shop
Or you can download the pack drive.google.com/file/d/1Tzm_T
Included in each download is:

the original .blend file for each wheelchair model
an .obj and .mtl file for each chair that can be imported into other 3D modelling software or into some art programs like Clip Studio Paint
A link to a user's manual that explains how to make alterations to the files for those less familiar with Blender, and how to import and save them to your Clip Studio Paint Asset/Material library on both desktop and ipad versions of CSP.

I would really like to keep updating these files and eventually include rigs for each (one of these was rigged previously, but I'm not sure what happened, it seems to have broken after one of the Blender updates)

Just like last time, they're completely free to use, with the caveat that they can't be resold or used in AI training. Credit isn't required but is greatly appreciated (as are tags so I can see art that used them!)
