This paper towel on fire seems to have a mind of its own. Via
crazy how unnatural that is. I have to wonder how little of that “paper” towel is actually paper or recycled organic material. Organic shit don’t burn like that and it certainly doesn’t leave oil residue
People living in Garin, Argentina have been using recycled waste materials to harvest solar energy to heat their water. Garin is a poor neighbourhood, one of many in Argentina, where people sometimes have no electricity or hot water. The system they’re using provides hot water all day long, and is home made from waste drinks bottles, soda cans, and milk cartons.
The solar heaters are part of an initiative by Argentinian non-profit organisation Sumando Energías, who also provide two day workshops to locals who want to learn how to make their own.
“This is a poor neighbourhood and sometimes we have no light or water. These recycled solar panels help us a lot, we have children and it’s useful having […] hot water even though we have no electricity.” – Luis Alberto Quinona, Garin resident
People often ponder how the world might be different if more women were in political power. In Finland, where women lead the five parties in the coalition government, here’s one change they’re making: equal paid leave for both parents in a family.
Finland’s government, led by 34-year-old Prime Minister Sanna Marin, has announced a new policy that will grant nearly seven months of paid leave to each parent, for a total of 14 months of paid leave. The pregnant parent also can receive one month of pregnancy allowance even before the parental leave starts.
The new policy is designed to be gender-neutral and will come into effect as soon as fall 2021. It will eliminate gender-based allowances that currently grant about four months of paid leave to mothers and about two months to fathers.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
