trash #goblin princess. provost here. aesthete, enthusiast, techie scum.
it's hard to get a read on whether to follow someone over federation. i leave my stuff on public to make it easier. feel free to follow then unfollow; no hard feelings about dipping out if my stuff isn't for you. similarly, i follow/unfollow without thinking about it much.

@flancian eleanor janega isn't always so explicitly political but her writing is always really excellent for reexamining stuff I thought I knew something about.

"Given the situation, we told workers the truth: If they wanted a union, and truly could not wait for change, they would have to get an undeniable supermajority on union cards and strike until the employer voluntarily recognized the union.
This is the route they chose."

@SuricrasiaOnline woof emotional roller coaster
@SuricrasiaOnline on FEDI??????
@kravietz idk, independently of her spin, I think the existence of the standards linked suggests there's a there there as to the significance of biodegradation: https://www.iso.org/standard/57902.html https://www.astm.org/d5511-18.html
@kravietz specifically "Biodegradation describes the process of those microorganisms metabolizing a material into carbon dioxide, water, and biomass. The conversion to CO2 (also called mineralization) is a clear indicator that biodegradation takes place, whereas the mass loss of a polymeric material alone is not considered sufficient proof." speaks to "it either degrades or not" because you can have additives that would create that mass loss and ease mechanical degradation without the rest
@kravietz okay i did some more looking and this is the first thing I've found that isn't EPI marketing materials: https://renewable-carbon.eu/news/biodegradable-or-not-biodegradable-that-is-the-question/

@nonphatic it's........ so depressing lol
@devurandom they really came up with a way to speedrun microplastics
http://blog.davidstea.com/en/new-and-improved-tea-sachet-update/
"we wanted our sachets to be environmentally friendly! they're oxo-biodegradable ❤️"
huh I haven't heard that term, what does it--
"[[Oxo-degradable]] [[plastics]] quickly fragment into smaller and smaller pieces, called [[microplastics]], but don’t break down at the molecular or polymer level like biodegradable and compostable plastics."
COOL.
