This story caught my eye. An old man (now deceased), sent his son a photo every morning. It was a custom between them. As a result the son knew the father (who earlier had a stroke) was ok.
For many living far from parents, this might be a lovely daily practice

Quelle surprise!

Like last year's, having COP at a major oil producer whose main agenda is to sell more fossil fuels, was never going to yield benefit for the climate and for us all; instead it was always going to be about watering down the climate focus and undermining environmentalism.

Adele - one of the creative sparks of our time.
Wishing her the best as she heads into an extended and maybe permanent break from performing and music for the public. What a journey she's been on, and taken us all along on.

a Glimmer. In dark times, helps to remember this.
a quote about something that Kris Kashtanova called a 'Glimmer' - a little moment that makes you feel joy, happiness, peace or gratitude. That learning to look for these helps us to notice more of them in our day.

What prompts someone to be mean to, or say nasty things online about, a blind person trying to access services with a guide dog?
Sean Dilley's story of multiple such incidents is upsetting. Please let's be kinder to those around us, and not project our own hurts on them.

'Refused service again with my guide dog, I'm done speaking out'
Sean Dilley is inundated with abuse on social media whenever he posts about discrimination issues.

Please allow me to re-share my rough sketch of some advanced carbon capture technology
a cartoon with two panels panel one is a stick figure saying "oh! a fossil fuel!!" standing above a crudely drawn black lump under a brown ground Panel two is them walking away and saying "I'll just leave it there" The head of the person is not a drawn circle but the letter O, because the random software I used to draw it did that for unexplained reasons

We are in an emergency. We have been for 3 decades at least. I e must act. Not tomorrow. Today.

This is the first bird extinction in mainland Europe in 500 years.

1400 birds are globally threatened with extinction.

230 are Critically Endangered.

The Slender-billed Curlew is just the latest in over 200 bird extinctions since 1500. 😢🪶🧪

well, here it is lads

after combing through some 1,400 records, it looks like the slender-billed curlew is indeed extinct and the last known photo taken in 1995 was probably at the point it slipped beneath the waves 🦉🧪

Hmm. Some push-back to my decisions to spend less time cross-posting on other platforms to focus here. This came from Mastodon.
But I'm not sure of the real implications.
Is it possible to build something quickly without dark money coming it it? Does that mean BS will eventually fall into darkness?

This wonderful piece creeps up on you until nearing its end, you realise how serious the work of living actually is.
Thanks @divyampersaud.com for this share.

you must take it seriously.

poets.org/poem/living (make sure to read the whole thing)
I Living is no laughing matter: you must live with great seriousness like a squirrel, for example— I mean without looking for something beyond and above living, I mean living must be your whole occupation. Living is no laughing matter: you must take it seriously, so much so and to such a degree that, for example, your hands tied behind your back, your back to the wall, or else in a laboratory in your white coat and safety glasses, you can die for people— even for people whose faces you’ve never seen, even though you know living is the most real, the most beautiful thing. I mean, you must take living so seriously that even at seventy, for example, you’ll plant olive trees— and not for your children, either, but because although you fear death you don’t believe it, because living, I mean, weighs heavier.

Women’s sport - even at this nascent stage of becoming professionalised and organised, carries so much hope for what a more equitable, less lopsided future might be like for sportspersons and the community. It ushers better templates that might even save men’s sports
