This is, without a doubt, one of the most punk rock things that exists in digital space today, right up there with @archive.org.
Thx @erinbowbooks.bsky.social for the heads-up about The Uncensored Library in Minecraft, a collab between Reporters Without Borders & the Minecraft design collective BlockWorks. Goal: to provide silenced authors a platform in their own respective countries.

Get really into dinosaurs. That's my recommendation for a happier life. Each day, I get news like "Look at this big freak that used roam the Earth!" or "Ya know the big freak you already loved? Fossils show it was even more freakish!" and it's a blessing every time.
Alberta friends, the list of medical conditions that exempt you from the ridiculous $100 "administrative fee" for this year's COVID vaccine includes ASD, ADHD and depression.

I do not know if they ask for proof, but get those free shots!!

I do a comic about ornithological vocabulary for every issue of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's wonderful Living Bird magazine. Here's the latest one, featuring the American Bittern.

Imagine reading Matthew 24:36,

โ€œBut about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Fatherโ€

and then having the hubris to try to predict the end of the world
I thought using โ€œgayโ€ as a synonym for โ€œstupidโ€ died 15+ years ago but here we are, I guess.

Itโ€™s often pointed out how people donโ€™t read anymore, how social media has broken our attention spans, and our capacity for critical thinking.

BUT, also, there are still a TON of avid readers in the world, of ALL ages. I know many of them. Letโ€™s not forget to celebrate, and take comfort in, that.

I know it's easy to get lost in the noise, anger, depression and hate of these dark times, but you matter, you're important - even if you can't see it - and I'm glad you're here.
