Really enjoyed my conversation with MIT's TILclimate podcast to talk about the fossil energy in food systems with a focus on all the steps from farm to bite of a bag of corn chips! #foodsystems #fossilfuels #climatechange #agroecology tilclimate.simplecast.com/episodes/far...

John Nosta on creativity and #AI. He omits the fact that many #creative people aren't interested in collaborating with AI; some creatives believe it will make them lazy. @psychologytoday.com www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/the-...

A small UK #publisher took a chance translating unusual #books & it's paid off big time! A great story in a time when expanding into the unknown means risking losing everything. @kvalfaro.bsky.social @tiltedaxispress.bsky.social (Gifting for anyone wanting to read). www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/b...

That's bad. Thanks for sharing. Got the link to the LinkedIn post?

I'm reading about AI's impact on art and artists a lot at the moment. Thanks for sharing this.

"Findings highlight that small-scale habitat conditions—especially the variety of flowering plants and access to sunlight—had a greater influence on bee diversity and abundance than overall habitat size...." Read @jeffollerton.bsky.social' post to learn more 👇 #pollinators #bees #urbanspaces 🌿

If you love fantasy adventures, especially ones that are simple, but with a lot of lore behind them, then The Phoenix and the Ant by SMVL Trudeau is perfect for you. It's great for kids 10+ and also a ton of fun for adult readers. Stayed tuned for the sequel in May. Available nearly anywhere!

Class is still a significant barrier in the UK. When it comes to #writing and the arts, all I can think is: all that wasted potential, everything that a culture misses because someone can't break through the #class ceiling. www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

@natehendley.bsky.social Hi Nate, if you shared just one or two of your favourite book marketing/promotion tactics, what would they be? Thanks!

In a broken world, great #writers & artists inspire us to action. #Author Toni Morrison inspires me! "This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair . . . no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal."

I like this idea!

Aging on the internet means existing in a “time tunnel”—a place where the past and present seem to exist simultaneously—making the self that once seemed unified appear fragmented, writes @ethorkel.bsky.social. thewalrus.ca/me-my-selfies-an...

@natehendley.bsky.social is your latest book the only historic fiction that you've written? It sounds really interesting!

From Bertrand Russell: " . . . Combination under an energetic leader of a number of men who possess more than the average share of leisure, brutality, and stupidity. The next step is to fascinate fools and muzzle the intelligent, by emotional excitement on the one hand and terrorism on the other."

Congrats. Added to my reading list!

Worried about #AI taking away your #creative paying work? (I am). This piece by the World Economic Forum says #creatives are concerned, but WEF research reveals AI will not only augment existing jobs, but will create #newjobs in entirely new fields. Interesting. www.weforum.org/stories/2024...

Thanks for sharing! I had no idea this existed!

My old rustic furniture showroom back in the day. Nearly everything we sold we made from reclaimed wood of some sort. We made furniture for the finest homes in the country. #art #artist #rusticfurniture #artisan #fish #reclaimedwood #woodworker #EurekaSprings #Arkansas

My teenager just referred to Napster as some ancient, mythical technology that he only knows about from cryptic Internet references, and if you'll excuse me I'll be in my rocking chair practicing my quavering cackle. #genX #imold

Added another layer to my drawing to protect Ukraine and world democracy with a celtic knot symbolizing unified purpose and unified action. Putin is a failure. He is hoping Trump will bail him out. Disempower both of them and you have a new, caring world order.

Hello American neighbours. If you're following me, thanks; I'll check out your profile. But if your feed mostly about the U.S. president, etc, sorry, I won't be following back. My interests lie elsewhere. Thanks for understanding.

I think what you studied is impressive. #science

Sadly, most anti-vaxxers don't know this and likely don't care. I have a long-term lung condition and now have long Covid.
