@sarae @youseeatortoise I don’t believe so but I’m making a note now 👀

I’m putting this request out into the world again: I’m looking for eco-fiction to read and write about at https://www.briefecology.com. If you’ve published some, or have a good recommendation, send it my way. I’m particularly interested in stuff from small presses, and 200% more likely to write about it if it’s weird eco-fiction

Anyone who things that market forces alone are enough to bring about a clean energy transition is deluding themselves

@lcwheeler Yeah, the efficiency and simplicity keeps me using an ereader for some things, but you just can’t beat the real thing

I like the idea of of reading on an e-reader, not so much the experience of it though

"Drought fears in Europe amid reports May was world’s second hottest ever"

I rode my bike to the library to return a book, which isn't terribly exciting, but I'm pleased that I can now take care of local errands by bike instead of car.

Since my partner and I are long distance, every Friday night we watch a shitty 80s horror movie together using Tubi + Teleparty. This gem is on the docket for tonight

UK ‘currently’ training Israeli soldiers on British soil, despite ICJ ruling to stop... - LBC

More complicity. Yeet them.

We are getting reports of clinics shutting down that provide care to trans youth over the latest CMS letter threat. If your clinic has shut down or you work at one, or your child's clinic has shut down, please send us a DM - we are putting together a big story on this.

Anyone got a good recommendation for books on conceptual figure design? Not something software-specific, I’m thinking something more akin to Tufte’s Beautiful Evidence, but more focused on the concept figure. #AcademicChatter

Scenes from a (Quiet) Revolution.

For the last two weeks, the street between two elementary schools in #Montreal have been closed to cars.

My son goes to one of them. The drop-off and pick-up, which used to be dangerous and stressful, have become a real pleasure—something to look forward to.

Take a look:

Our eldest dog soon learnt that a medical intervention of any sort earnt her a treat so you soon just had to look at her foot and a treat was demanded. She then extended this to her deserving a treat if another dog had a medical intervention. Then if I do something to Stuart that may be considered medical. Yesterday I was cleaning my camera with q-tips, which I also use on her ears. She watched me intently then demanded a treat for my medical intervention on the camera😂
