I Think People On Tumblr Have This Misconception That NFTs Are The ONLY Type Of Crypto Thats Bad For

I think people on tumblr have this misconception that NFTs are the ONLY type of crypto that’s bad for the environment. It’s kinda like watching people realize that the meat industry is environmentally damaging while ONLY being mad at chicken.

(I’m not an expert but) NFTs are, at best, a cryptocurrency gimmick. The damaging aspect is the methodology behind finding a valid hash key signature to lock in a block of crypto transactions. THAT’S fundamental to blockchain. Anything using blockchain as a means of decentralized verification will be culpable. Doesn’t matter if its bitcoin, or etherium, or NFTs, or goddamn dogecoin. 

Anyway my point is it’s weird seeing NFTs, specifically, get scape-goated when the issue applies to All Things Blockchain. Cuz if you wipe NFTs off the face of the earth today, that won’t actually solve things. It’s all large-scale blockchain systems. That seems important to understand. 

New vet today asked me if my eyeless dog was blind and like ??? oh god I hope so????

ever think abt how no. 6 was a humanist dystopian animanga that was not afraid to condemn eugenics, that addressed erasure of and violence against indigenous peoples, that highlighted how vital literature and art is in keeping people grounded, that talked abt the role science can play in oppression, that highlighted the disparity between the way rich people vs. poor people live, & that told the story of people fighting for each other simply bc they are people….. & on top of that there were found-family elements AND a nonbinary/trans character AND the main characters were gay & in love & literally took down a fascist govt. together… like absolute best i think

i dont do fanart as much anymore but there’s a little musical series i stumbled upon that i’m really enamored by and decided to draw one of characters in it! George! Love this funky guy, can’t wait to see his MV

Check out one of the Clover songs!

thinking about how fiona's bit in the first shrek movie about how ogres are so ugly and unlovable, which is overheard by shrek, is the perfect example of how self-deprecation can really harm not only the people around you who love and care for you, but also people who share the same characteristics that you are mocking in yourself
