I've been meaning to share this awesome piece by A. Poeht for a while now. It still gives me goosebumps when I read it.

Black and grey poem in the shape of the United CEO shooter wearing his backpack, gun drawn, with the words deny, defend, depose falling away as if bullet casings. The words wrap as necessary to fill the shape of the image. The text reads as follows:

Deny. Defend. Depose. Deny those who have sacrificed the lives of the poor their sense of safety. Defend your neighbor from those who seek to turn your bodies into cash. Depose the wealthy from their thrones of death. Deny the rich their wealth, their peace, their pleasure. Defend your humanity from exploitation. Depose the powerful and their reign of terror. Deny the lie that we must simply endure our oppressors. Defend the truth that we can be free. Depose the charlatan, the one who has bent the knee. Deny the yoke, the handcuff, the warrant, the cage. Defend the yoked, the cuffed, the arrested, the imprisoned. Depose the handler, the cop, the judge, the warden. Deny the attempts to shrink your soul. Defend your body from those who wish to separate you from it. Depose the arbiter of human value. Deny the destruction of our home. Defend our Earth from preventable death. Depose those who have forgotten our first mother. Deny hopelessness. Defend your imagination. Depose those who demand conformity. Deny isolation. Defend the communities you are in. Depose the notion you could do it alone. Deny disassociation. Defend dissent. Depose division. Deny going gentle into that good night. Defend your spark. Depose the darkness of greed.

The truth is, some days I don't give it my best. I don't even give it my all. I can only manage to give it my some, and it's not even that great.
But I'm still here, and I'm still trying. So that's gotta count for something, right?

There is always hope, it just doesn't always make it into the history books.

There's lessons here for survivors of current disasters.

"Solarpunk doesn't require an apocalypse. It's a world in which humans haven't destroyed ourselves and our environment, where we've pulled back just in time to stop the slow destruction of our planet. We've learned to use science wisely for the betterment of ourselves and our planet."

"If you try to imagine a future with socially-oriented multi-generational living habitats centered around walking, bicycles and the soothing shadows of trees, it’s striking how everything suddenly feels like a luxury hotel resort. Could a low carbon society of sufficiency feel as meaningful as a slow family holiday?"

We're releasing today another bonus clip from behind the Patreon paywall. This originally was produced by Christina as a bonus clip to follow the early release of S5E5; supporters on Patreon at the Companion tier and higher gain access to bonus content that is either excerpted from episodes or prompted by their content every other week. Here is the original description:

"I didn't have any extra clips from the interview with the organizers of The Solarpunk Conference. Instead, here's me (Christina) reading my contribution to The Solarpunk Conference Journal that was published after last year's conference.
Enjoy!

PS- you can catch videos of many of the presentations from the conference on The Solarpunk Conference's YouTube channel (including the presentation/panel that @arielkroon was a part of)."

Four goldendoodles line up for a group photo. The dogs are posing on green grass with large green arbovites in the background. Gus, the oldest, is standing to the left in the foreground and the other three are lined up to the right, sitting in the background. The dogs in the background have big happy smiles.

A new gold standard review of 100 studies finds:

- masks are effective in reducing transmission of respiratory diseases

- N95 respirators are significantly more effective than medical or cloth masks

- mask mandates are effective in reducing community transmission

I took this thread about the failures of modern technology and turned it in to a blogpost:

Community Software: Building The Future Inside The Rotting Husk of The Past

https://ajroach42.com/community-software-building-the-future-inside-the-rotting-husk-of-the-past/

It starts from the same basic text, but I edited and refined it, and gave it a better ending.

Microsoft seem to be turning Windows into an AI hellscape, this might be the last straw for a lot of people and some of you might be considering Linux but making the jump can be hard especially in certain professional fields.

I am a professional sound designer, musician, and a game developer. I switched fully to Linux back in 2013 and have used Linux for those tasks completely since then. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about using Linux in those fields.
