Hello!

I'm Cassian, I'm nonbinary (they/them) and I live in Wales. I mostly post about TV I'm watching, surveys I'm interested in, being neurodivergent, environment stuff, things I'm making, and spontaneous grumpy rants of little consequence.

I do the @gendercensus annually.

I first tried the Fediverse over 10 years ago, but didn't really get ensconced until the first wave of Mastodon in 2016.

China has begun building its first "super plant" for reusable rockets in Hangzhou. The $740M facility, led by private firm Space Epoch, will produce up to 25 medium-to-large rockets annually, designed for sea recovery. This aims to slash launch costs by 75% and marks a major step in scaling up China's commercial space sector.

Hardly ever mentioned but re-usable rockets are a form of #recycling and could be categorized as a #climatefriendly #green industry

In Altamira, a small business turns recycled paper into seed-embedded sheets that grow into flowers, herbs and native plants.

Founded by Alessandra Moreira after personal hardship, Ecoplante has grown from a backyard venture into an example of sustainable entrepreneurship.

Experts say initiatives like this point to an Amazon bioeconomy where innovation, inclusion and forest conservation can grow together.

Recycling is a toxic lie.

Big brands and petrochemical corporations keep selling the public a convenient and comforting story to hide the hard truth: they simply have to STOP PRODUCING SO MUCH PLASTIC.

Left panel: Willem Dafoe by a harbour in Wes Anderson’s The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, smiling, with the caption “me when I thought recycling would save the world.” Right panel: a black and white image of Dafoe in Robert Eggers’ The Lighthouse, dressed as a grizzled lighthouse keeper, looking tired and serious, with the caption “me after I found out that plastic corporations invented plastic recycling to put the responsibility onto the consumer even though they knew plastic recycling was not chemically or financially feasible, and now I have plastic in my brain, lungs and testicles.”

Recycling was never designed to solve the plastics crisis.

Industry sold a myth while plastic production kept rising.

We need governments to cut plastic at the source and secure a strong #PlasticsTreaty that puts people and planet over profits.
