Almost ready to share blocking for pages so far, but if @redenigma (garden jam recipe?) @BosmangBeratna (self-help essay?) @DavidSalo (thoughts on Life & The Universe?) & @JGSchaeffer (respite?) are still interested in contributing, please do!
And... @stueytheround? Do you have a quick recipe, song, or anything else you'd be interested in contributing? I see you "liking" some of these posts; you're more than welcome to share whatever your heart desires, too!
Thanks for all work to date!
@MLClark @redenigma @BosmangBeratna @DavidSalo @JGSchaeffer @stueytheround I'd offer to contribute, but I've never actually done something quite like that, my cynical perspective on the world might make it challenging to contribute something uplifting, and I'm guessing it's probably too late in the process haha.
OTOH if you want a piece on my latest fascination (Passive Daytime Radiative Cooling - a potential climate change strategy and a way to significantly reduce air conditioning needs)...
Bring it, Torin!
I'm a pragmatic existentialist myself. I push for the best from us because there are a whole bunch of sprogs who have to live on the earth we leave behind, no matter how much we've done gone and effed it all up. But no matter what we do, no one gets out of this alive, & our tribalism is going to eat us alive.
Happy to have your words! Can you give me 4-to-800 on Passive Daytime Radiative Cooling?

@MLClark @redenigma @BosmangBeratna @DavidSalo @JGSchaeffer @stueytheround Well, I was slower than molasses in January, and this is only a first draft (which I'm admittedly not really happy with; it definitely feels off to me, but I've been known to rewrite things 25+ times and still have them feel off - so partly because of that & partly because lazy I'm calling it good for now), but here's what I've got.

Haha, you're my kind of writer, Torin.
@MLClark @redenigma @BosmangBeratna @DavidSalo @JGSchaeffer @stueytheround Aw, thanks!
I like your approach. For what it's worth, my reason for pushing for the best (as I see it) isn't too dissimilar, but elucidating the exact nature of it would be somewhat challenging as it's mediated by my complex, nuanced sense of right and wrong... which, as I'm sure you've heard too many times already (lol), is based more on outcomes than anything else.
Sure! I'll see about doing that right away.
