'But the lies were out there, circulating, and were made into a movie, which is a really mixed blessing. Let’s pretend this narration is over the title crawl, and cut to our heroine...'
This week's fic is based on the amazing staple of Sapphic culture that is Jennifer's Body.
Jennifer's Body is a 2009 cult-classic unapologetically Queer horror film.
I love it, and, yes, I've rec'd fics on it before. Jennifer's Body fic authors write some interesting stuff!
It's Thursday, this is Dora Reads, let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness, m'k?
Everything I've got for you this week is in the 'Other Stuff' category - looks like Loki's been playing tricks on me again. 😘
Carbon offsetting is sadly not the get-out-of-eco-jail-free card that some people think it is.
Whether you're a frequent flyer looking to make up for the environmental sins of your trips around the world, a heavy-polluting fossil-fuel-based corporation, or just someone who gets their Etsy packages delivered, you've probably heard of carbon offsetting.
But, so that we're all on the same page: what is carbon offsetting?
Well there's no concrete definition - everyone has their own ideas of what 'counts' as carbon offsetting and what doesn't - but I can give you the basics.
Carbon offsetting, as far as I understand it, is where someone - sometimes an individual, but more commonly a business or organisation - attempts to counteract their carbon footprint by supporting environmental projects.
This support often comes in the form of... (paying to make the problem go away) ...investing.
This might be an investment in a green energy scheme, such as a wind farm or tidal energy project...
'"You got a phone? Look up local B&Bs," Sam said to Bucky. "Or whatever Canadian is for B&B."
"I think it's just B&B. They literally speak the same language, Sam."'
Yes, this is a The Falcon and The Winter Soldier (TFATWS) fic.
In my defense: I've been totally open that I am trash 😅
And! Also! This fic might be TFATWS, but it's a lot different to the sort of stuff I usually rec from this fandom.
It's Thursday, we're still here somehow, let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!
Here we are with more of my micropoetry!
Woo! (Lol.)
I have absolutely no idea where the first one, in particular, came from - it was just one of those things that wouldn't leave me alone, y'know?
And the best way to deal with that is to get it out and into the world, in my experience!
It's also written partially in my accent (which is why it's don' le' instead of don't let,) because it just didn't feel right written in full - I don't know why, I think it threw the rhythm off or something *shrugs*
And the other poem I've got for you this month is a haiku.
- Just because, really 😅
As always, for those using text readers, the poetry is in the alt-text of the graphics.
