Nothing to see here. You can also find me and my nothingness on LJ (my primary fandom base) and on AO3 (my story home) under the same stupid name of holyfant.

Seasonal affective disorder havers how are we all coping

TIL that the reason lead levels in children’s blood have dropped 85% in the past thirty years is because of an unknown scientist who fought car companies to end leaded gasoline. He also removed it from paint, suggested its removal from pipes, and campaigned for the removal of lead solder from cans.

Yep.  It also correlates extremely strongly with an increasing decrease of violent crime.  One of the symptoms of low level constant lead exposure is increased aggression and volatility. 

“Unknown scientist”? That was Clair Cameron Patterson.

Gas companies are still so mad at him he’s “unknown scientist”, know his name

Daily reminder that health and safety standards like these are what politicians mean when they talk about “deregulation.”

Patterson died 5 December 1995.


Petition to make his date of death a Tumblr holiday celebrated by talking about cool shit the gas and petroleum industries don’t want us to know about, and fighting to continue his work.

HAPPY CLAIR CAMERON PATTERSON DAY CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL IT’S HERE BUT WE CAN STOP IT THROUGH INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION.

Fuck the oil industry for figuring this out in the 1980s and doing their absolute worst to make sure nothing got done since to stop it.
