This is something to look forward to: a new book from the brilliant Tyson #Yunkaporta. His first one, #SandTalk, was a great read, don't miss it! Among the enduring visions was 'cooking up wombat' in the derelict ruins of the Canberra Parliament building in some not-too-distant future as we discover which civilization is the more resilient.
Also a very funny critique of Stonehenge, and the Weird West, right on the button!

When students from Linfield University in McMinnville, Oregon, cleared invasive Himalayan blackberry from a meadow on campus, a bank of camas seeds sprouted. "The university found itself with a thriving patch of Indigenous first foods," says @Toastie. For High Country News, they write about how this discovery birthed a festival, the Linfield Camas Festival. The one-day event is devoted to the wildflower, its place in Indigenous cuisine, culture and ecosystems, and educating others about food sovereignty and more.

#EVs need ~30 lbs of cobalt, so the US needs millions of tons for the EV boom, which will continue to push 1000s of Black women, men, and children into pits and tunnels.
Of the 255,000 Congolese mining for cobalt, 40,000 are children. They might work for around $2USD/day.
No one knows how many have been killed in the mines.
The Congo has over 90x the amount of cobalt in the U.S., where #Indigenous people are exploited for it.
