I'm streaming in an hour on how subway investments can support intercity rail. I want to blog this so I might stream without recording, just writing it up as a post.

Sunset at the Platte River.

Dusk at the Platte River. The left two thirds of the sky are covered with dense, darkening orange clouds, the remainder remains rosy and blue with only a few light clouds. The scene is reflected in the river. A dark, irregular band of shoreline and vegetarian is separating sky and water
The same scene a bit later, with the night's shadow creeping over the clouds from the East, the afterglow of sunset still lighting up the horizon.

The government said Wednesday it will back legislation banning foreign state ownership of British and magazines, a move that could upend a planned takeover by a United Arab Emirates-led consortium of the .

> The development comes after numerous lawmakers from across the political divide urged an explicit ban, rather than using a regulatory approach to ensure that publications don’t parrot views of state actors.

The artist Isaac Levitan born a poor Jew in Lithuania (1860 - 1900), ventured into different genres, but his talent was only fully revealed in his depiction of nature. Like no-one else, he conveyed the mood of melancholy in landscape.

Levitan gained recognition only at the end of his short life - at 37, he became an academician of landscape painting and, at 39, died in Moscow from a heart aneurysm. A sad tale. One of the artists I most admire.

"The Imperial Mode of Living refers, essentially, to the societies of the Global North that rely on large-scale production and consumption. This is what makes our rich lifestyle possible. Beneath this surface, there exists a structure by which the cost of our consumption is extracted from the lands and labour of the people of the Global South. Without the exploitation of others who pay the cost, the Imperial Mode of Living would be unsustainable. Lowering the standard of living for those in the Global South is a prerequisite for the workings of capitalism, and the power imbalance between North and South is no anomaly - it is, in fact, a result of the system functioning normally.

We experience this way of life as desirable, though, and are loath to give it up. If we were to acknowledge the state of things in the Global South, we would be forced to lower our own standard of living. Our way of life is, in fact, a terrible thing. We are all complicit in the Imperial Mode of Living."

— Kōhei Saitō: https://bookwyrm.social/book/1546819, p. 9

The Imperial Mode of Living is a good way of defining this oppressive relationship we have with nature and each other.

Dear Portugal 🇵🇹

Some neighbourly advice - if you let the fascists in, they might hang around for 40 years, fucking up your country and shooting people they don't like. Ask us how we know.

Love & hugs

Spain 🇪🇸

PS Didn't you have some of those assholes running your country around the same time? It's amazing how we forget our mistakes!

Dear 🇪🇸,

Yes, we know. When you had Franco, we had Salazar.

Love,

What really gets me, though, is how Islamophobic they are. Arabic once was the lingua franca of the Iberian Peninsula but ONLY FOR 800 YEARS.

Rid Spanish and Portuguese of all words that came from Arabic, you'd be quite literally at a loss for words.

Including Hola/Olá which come from Allah for the love of God (Happy Ramadan, by the way).

Que palhaçada, pelo amor de deus!

West Sumatra is the home province of my main research partner in (for my research). Just recently, we have been in touch to perhaps develop a new joint project on the palm oil sector and climate mitigation and adaptation in Sumatra. Horrible to read this now.

Is / -mentoring a thing?

One does not contribute to the development of the research or the software itself, but one helps others that don't know how this is done with the Open'ing aspects.

Of course, I know that there are several online resources for learning, but what beats a mentor who dedicates some if his/her time?

😅

We do offer mentorship for reviewers involved in our open peer review process: https://www.pyopensci.org/about-peer-review/index.html

And we have some really exciting news to share in a month or so around helping others looking to get started with open source!

Incidentally, if anyone is interested in publishing a paper that analyses a literary work, especially one from a marginalised voice, please consider Poetika.

They desperately need authors from outside Indonesia, which is always a struggle for small journals here. If you want a fee waiver, you can probably even name-drop me to get it. 😊
