autistic climate activist and forensic scientist, reader of books
Here to talk about Climate Change, Forensic Anthropology, books and other random stuff :)
There are a little over 15 million fics on AO3, the longest one is a bit over 9.8million words long and on average a fic is 8643 words.

And if you want to track your fics and also know how many books that would be, I might be working on something for you 🤫

Challenge level impossible:

Read the blurb below and don't want this book right now, for free! Before everyone else!

Well it's your lucky day, because @alicebrooks.bsky.social is still looking for ARC readers! And you can sign up RIGHT NOW!

Other than the writing word count tracker i made (link in bio ;)) this one is an independent program, so no need for Excel or anything :)

Right now the first version is just about finished, and I'll probbly start looking for betatesters for this one soon, so keep an eye out for that :)

This is where my WIP comes in.

In the current version, you can keep track of everything you read, including an option to rate it,
you can set a reading goal for a bunch of things (books, minutes, fanfics, etc)
and it automatically calculates a rough translation between words, pages and minutes

Looking at @hankgreen.bsky.social's free right now, I'm very much like:

Hey. That's how my brain works, too 😃😃

Very excited to see how all of this connects 😂😅

I currently have beef with photographers, because WHY DID Y'ALL NOT TELL ME HOW AWESOME POLARISATION FILTERS ARE EARLIER???

Just look at these pictures. I've done nothing with them, other than using a pol filter in the right and not the left... LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCES! THIS IS SO COOL!

I got some new filters for my camera recently.

And I have to say, I'm very happy with how this turned out. (Especially happy that the one with my normal lense (r) turned out well. That means I can just take some sun pictures in between and don't have to run around with my tele (l) all the time :D)

If anyone asks, audiobooks are not real books, and therefore an audiobook subscription does not count towards my book buying ban! (/j)

(Also go follow @literallybookshop.bsky.social)

Yeay @libro.fm 🥰

Mini thread for this year's #TransRightsReadathon.

Please find below this year's TBR, (incl. author's @) and a little bit on the two charities that'll hopefully get some money out of this, this year.

If you want to support me and these charities please consider donating here: gofund.me/3b5c25b5

#NewMemeTemplate just dropped :D picture by @epaimages.bsky.social

Do with this as you wish, I guess :)

Well clearly there is an easy way to get from Washington to London by bus/train, idk what you're talking about (/j) 😂😂😂😂

Day 25 of #ClimateAdvent

These past 24 days we've gone through climate science, looking at how bad it currently is, how much worse it could get and how we got here.
We looked at a few solutions, but for most of them implementation is slow and climate action seems far away.

So is there still hope?
December 25, 2024 at 1:02 PM
Day 24 of #ClimateAdvent.

There are many many more solutions and listing them all would take way too long. But to give you an example of what else is out there, we'll do another climate roulette.
Today this is based on @projectdrawdown.bsky.social's list of solutions
December 24, 2024 at 10:26 AM
Day 23 of #ClimateAdvent

So now that we've looked at these possible solutions, let's look at a few things you can do.

Individual actions can play a part in climate action, but they can only be a small support for the necessary structural changes we need.
December 23, 2024 at 12:25 PM
Day 22 of #ClimateAdvent

We talked a bit about nature based solutions, so let's go the other way today and have a look at some technologies we still need to develop further to make available more widespread. Some of them are useful, some of them may not be and some we might never fully develop.
December 22, 2024 at 3:45 PM
Day 21 of #ClimateAdvent

So after we've managed to reduce the emissions from energy production, we would still have loads of CO2 in the air. And as we've seen, we don't just need net zero emissions, we actually need a way to take CO2 out of the atmosphere again.
Luckily nature can help with that
December 22, 2024 at 3:37 PM
Day 20 of #ClimateAdvent

Let's actually start talking about the solutions now.
To slow down climate change we need to get rid of carbon emissions as fast as possible.

And the largest sector where we are generating these emissions right now is the energy sector.

So let's decarbonise that.
December 21, 2024 at 7:20 PM
Day 19 of #ClimateAdvent

So. Here's the deal. It's obviously not looking good. And there is a need to act on climate change. The good news: we have the solutions ready. We know what to do and how to do it.

How? Well that's what we'll go through this last week.
December 19, 2024 at 6:05 PM
Moving on: page 38

Uh a picture :)

This is looking at projected pathways in CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions that are consistent with the Paris Agreement (1.5 (blue) and 2.0°C (green))
In red you also have the projections given all currently implemented policies.

Day 20 of #ClimateAdvent

Today is a quick filler episode with just random bits of climate information.

Here's how this works:

I have the summary report of the latest IPCC AR6 open. It's 186 pages. I'll generate a random page number from this and talk about that page. :)

Let's see how that goes
December 18, 2024 at 8:25 PM
Day 17 of #ClimateAdvent

Climate Change is bad. I think this got a bit clearer over the past week or so. But it's not equally bad everywhere.

In fact, the countries with the highest historical emissions (=blame for climate change) are the ones that will feel the least impact. And vice versa.
December 17, 2024 at 4:30 PM
Day 16 of #ClimateAdvent

We'll pick up where we left off yesterday, with some more tipping points.
As always this is mainly based on the PIK summary, linked again at the end of this :)
December 16, 2024 at 8:22 PM
Day 15 of #ClimateAdvent

We did some 'light hearted' (only 250000 more deaths by 2050 because of climate change per year) impacts last post.
Today we're going to talk a bit about the tipping points in the climate system. And the potential feedback loops we could hit.
December 15, 2024 at 8:16 PM
Day 14 of #ClimateAdvent

(Again sorry for the delay)

Okay so now that we have a rough understanding of how climate change prediction scenarios work let's have a look at a few of the possible impacts.
(This is going to be a 'positive' shortened version)
