Want to make real big kite banners quickly and cheaply?

I made a tutorial.

SpaceX’s Bill Gerst says Crew Dragon’s toilet mechanics were redesigned after the toilet issues on the Inspiration4 mission. A tube that sends urine into a container broke off during the mission and leaked into a fan which sprayed the urine in an area beneath the capsule floor.

Our collective’s jail support has bailed out 100s of water protectors — MN has been charging $10-25k+ to be bonded out for protecting the sacred.

Please support, spread the word! ✊🏽❤️ #StopLine3

Vera Winzen cofounded Winzen research with her then-husband and ran the balloon manufacturing operation that established modern plastic balloon manufacturing.

As Vera Simons (div. & remarried), she later embarked on an art career in painting and balloon performances.

Most of staff at the plant were women, specially in the balloon manufacturing section.

@rebecca_altman @MaxLiboiron @Michelin Jeff Meikle might be the source. I love American Plastic.

[mathew lippincott @headfullofair]

@rebecca_altman @MaxLiboiron @Michelin I first saw these Michelin images in an article. I will try to look if I saved it in my (pre-Zotero) note taking.

[mathew lippincott @headfullofair]

@MaxLiboiron @rebecca_altman @Michelin Somewhere on my computer! I just googled a copy quickly. There's a whole series of postcards of the Michelin Man on a plantation that is just perfectly horrific.

[mathew lippincott @headfullofair]

@rebecca_altman @MaxLiboiron Great summary of historical bioplastics! Thanks for putting up an open access link.

The bioplastics industry's attempt to sell a friendly image always unearths this Michelin postcard in my brain. A century ago, colonial exploitation was their sales pitch.

Breaking at the Willow River: Enbridge drilling construction operations hit an aquifer. What you see is drilling mud. The yellow booms are to stop it from flowing downstream. It is called a frack out. A barrel "Spill Kit ..." seriously Enbridge?!? #StopLine3

Sold this creature awhile back. He just wanted to say hi and to remind everyone to get the vote out and recall Mayor (gas me) Wheeler. Also please visit the Outside Art Sale on Burnside and SE 12th.

Beavers do superior flood control for 5.8% of the cost of the engineered solution and on a faster timeline.

If there isn't an ecology-first infrastucture option on the table, you're being ripped off.
