On the outskirts of Lviv on a cold autumn day, scattered clouds cast swiftly moving light patches on the ground. I waited as one illuminated a church. Golden-yellow trees formed a horseshoe around pines—a detail barely visible until lit. #landscape #photography

Sanctions on Ukraine for defending itself from an invasion by the world's leading nuclear power, yay! Humankind discovers new levels of insanity and stupidity every single day.

A painting I made in 2016, dear to my heart. One of my favorite characters, Alanna the Lioness, from one of my favorite authors, Tamora Pierce. 🪡 For the needlecrafters here, I wanted to let you know the Lioness is once again available in cross stitch! www.unconventionalxstitch.com/the-lioness-...

Hva Norge bør gjøre nå (høyttenking): - Umiddelbart ta overskuddet vi har tjent på krigen. - Tilby USA å kjøpe våpen, som sendes videre til Ukraina. Enten frister det den transaksjonelle Trump, eller viser at han er Putins verktøy. - Investere i våpenproduksjon i Europa og Ukraina.

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

Why did the U.S. vote with Russia and against our allies? A some point you do have to start to wonder, “what’s in it for Trump?” Trump seems totally fine with Russia winning and the U.S. losing. Why is he so hard up to serve Putin?

Algorithms are pushing us to be people who can’t hold two ideas at once. News saturation is pushing us to be sociopaths who consume tragedy. Populist authoritarian speech is pushing us to think psychotically - by obliterating the real world from our picture of reality.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Alex de Waal in @londonreview.bsky.social reviews the science and politics of declaring famines, focusing on Israeli starvation tactics in Gaza. The article ends with USAID's shameful coverup of emergency work by the Famine Early Warning Systems Network. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Add it all up, and it almost appears as if the NIH cuts, the censorship, the board takeovers, and the threats to endowments are all part of a systematic effort to destroy the university and college system as we know it today…. Because they are: open.substack.com/pub/davidpep...

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

I suppose it sorta makes sense that early humans traded off fur coats and physical strength for big brains that allowed us to create clothes and tools and now we’re apparently trading off those big brains for the ability to use hallucinatory auto-complete to write reports for us.

It astounds me, though it shouldn’t, that the lives of trans people have been used so effectively to radicalise people and press - according to The Times, Trump is a feminist hero now because he dehumanises trans people - real lowering of the bar of what is expected of a feminist

In Summer 2021, I put a pinhole solar camera on the tower of St John's college in Cambridge, UK to image the Sun's path. This was the result! Each separate arc is a day, and over time you slowly reveal the pattern that the Sun follows over the course of a year 🌞🔭🧪

The UK govt’s “Get Britain to Work” white paper says “a record 2.8m people are out of work due to long-term sickness”, but it doesn’t mention #LongCovid —a key cause, shifts blame to individuals (obesity, smoking, exercise) and shares a poster with an anti-disability message. Feels unserious.
