Our World in Data

The world has probably passed “peak air pollution”

Global emissions of local air pollutants have probably passed their peak.

From the article:

Global emissions of local air pollutants have probably passed their peak. The chart shows estimates of global emissions of pollutants such as sulphur dioxide (which causes acid rain), nitrogen oxides, and black and organic carbon. These pollutants are harmful to human health and can also damage ecosystems. It looks like emissions have peaked for almost all of these pollutants. Global air pollution is now falling, and we can save many lives by accelerating this decline.

While air pollution hasn't peaked everywhere, things will only get better from here if trends in cleaner energy and manufacturing continue.

This is one of those examples of slow progress in solving a big problem that doesn't get celebrated, even though it represents a huge step for human health and well-being.

On Neglect, Love, and Todoroki Fuyumi

Let the records state that there is nobody in the BNHA manga who I love more than Fuyumi. This essay is for her, just as much as it is for me, because there’s a lot to be said with her - a lot to understand, a lot to interpret, and a lot to still learn.

Please be aware of the warnings in the tags and as follows: I will be touching on child abuse and neglect, and how growing up in these situations hurts. I will be using my own experience as a baseline to relate. I don’t go into detail a lot of detail, but these are still topics that came up. Arm yourself if you wish to continue.

And here we go.

me: . . . maybe all might isn't as much of a physical wreck as you tend to think he is

also me: alright but if we run with the fact that he was the Number One Hero WORLDWIDE then he must have been through a lot so his face is probably really messed up - little scars, a twisted nose, maybe even uneven cheekbones from getting hit in the face all the time, which would also hamper his vision. also, the injury probably messed up his hip and spine so him having a limp or needing to walk with a cane or crutches or using a wheelchair really isn't much of a stretch. and there's probably spots all over his body that just don't have functional nerves either from damage or general wear-and-tear, so he has these numb spots that sometimes randomly hurt when the air pressure changes.

hey guys look at my cat

All Might is really important to me as a young sick & disabled person.

I love seeing people project their mental disorders onto Dabi bc nearly all of them make perfect sense. He’s insane enough for you to pick and choose an illness and it fits. I love him.

These are my kids
