Interesting article. though McDowell's “The sun is a powerful enemy” is a strange way to express our predicament.

human systems may be both dependent on—and vulnerable to— all that the sun has to give...

but the real adversaries are right here - extractive industrialisation & agriculture, cutting down the forests, burning all the fossil fuel...

In today's bee drama, there are two separate group of bees attempting to claim an empty box we set up to capture any new swarms here. Their advance parties spent several hours playing "King of the Hill" (err..
Queen of the Hill) and wrestling each other out of the box. Too cold for a swarm to fly in, but not too cold to have a bee battle! #beekeeping

incredible tenderness in Central Otago. agree with brian cox - the colours in the sky are a reminder not to shite it all up.

#ClimateDiary I loved seeing the #Aurora last night, that was really special. I never thought I would see northern lights, and certainly not in Eastbourne!

In fact, one reason why they were so far south may be climate change…. Thanks to @samhainnight
for mentioning this.

#Reveil2024 is live.

A new day, dawn chorus, cars starting, sirens, planes, pigeons calling, chirping, buzzing, soft rain falling—worlds waking up.

Live audio streams from daybreak around the planet, sounding the earth over a span of 24hrs.

Also? This faculty listserv I've been complaining about?

Google just zapped it. Gone. About 5 years of usage. I didn't start it and have had had "ownership" for about 8 days. Clearly in the past 8 days, someone was motivated to complain and a robot intervened

Don't use Google, people, it's evil. (No one did anything, and I do mean anything, that could possibly have been construed as a TOS violation, but I have some theories...)

Long shot but has anyone seen a short/maybe graphical explainer on not responding to text/email solicitations that are generally scams? I'm thinking of the equivalent of a one-page sheet warning of stroke symptoms, that someone could tape up next to the computer.

devastating day - powerful clarity from Noura Erakat on the Rafah evacuation orders, the monstrous cruelty of Israel's claims it must now attack the "safe zone" in which so many of the Palestinian population are sheltering, and the complicity of the US and governments around the world in failing to end the slaughter.

In Gaza, Israel has turned water into a weapon of mass destruction https://www.972mag.com/gaza-israel-water-weapon/

“Israel’s discriminatory water policies have long been used to control Palestinians & drive them from their land. Yet we have also seen how activism around water can mobilize people across many continents to campaign for justice….”
