  • The folks who say “modern tools” have never used any other tools except what’s in a hardware store. Power tools just save time. It’s the same shit that we could do thousands of years ago by hand and determination (or elbow grease for those who build character). Machu Pichu was made by people and anyone can go visit it - the city is made of stones the size of cars all fitted together in irregular patterns and joined without mortar. If those “modern tools” folks knew masonry they would understand how incredible it is to build without mortar and have it withstand 400 years in a jungle with no maintenance.

    With enough time and not enough else to do, a village can carve a mountain using sand and water. Fuck modernity. Embrace persistence.

    Just Stop Oil feels like an astroturf group made by fossil fuel lobbyists to smear the idea of activists while teaching a generation how to fuck up protesting. Their wildly unreliable activities make me not trust them for defacing unrelated things like art. There are other, better ways to protest. And besides, coal is more destructive than oil so this group doesn’t look like they know about environmental sciences. Britain was built on coal - fix that first. It’s already dying, just do the world a favor and finish it off.
















  • It’s a smoker’s thing. Opening a new pack, there’s 20 cigarettes all facing the same way. Find one that speaks to you, or choose the same location each pack, and flip it so the nicotine is up and the rest are filters. That’s the lucky. If you need something good to happen, you’ve got a little bit extra luck waiting for you.
