This is a tribute to Peter Benchley, author of 'Jaws', who dedicated his life to reversing the unexpected negative impact his book had on the image of sharks.

We kill millions of sharks annually and demonize them in our media, who is the real monster? 💀

I’ve spent most of my life steeped in anxiety, and one thing that made me feel less alone was knowing how unsurprisingly not new anxiety and related experiences are.

It’s in fragments, but this is one of many clay texts from ancient Mesopotamia that describes anxiety (possibly depression)

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

wooden snakes for lunar new year 2025 and the patreon rewards for december.
The first three snakes are stickers and the one with the background is a postcard print.

Each snake is inspired by a pace I visited or want to visit.

there are no 70 year old generals - they are required to retire at 64

sure wish politicians had the same requirement.
Gerry Connolly the 74 year old congressman suffering from esophageal cancer who Democrats just picked for a leadership position defends their decision, declaring hoarsely: "We need the best general we can put on the battleground...and that's what the Democratic caucus overwhelmingly decided to do."

"A request made through ChatGPT, an AI-based virtual assistant, consumes 10 times the electricity of a Google Search"

This isn't a game. This is accelerated destruction via huge usage of power, water, resources etc. Stop using it - especially for messing about!!

AI has an environmental problem. Here’s what the world can do about that.
The sprawling data centres that house AI servers churn out toxic electronic waste and are voracious consumers of electricity, which in most places is still produced from fossil fuels.

“Perhaps most importantly, they can support the positive well-being of communities. From a psychological perspective, interacting with nature reduces physical stress and can improve symptoms of mental ill health, including anxiety or depression.”
Can micro-forests save our cities?
Our cities are polluted and overcrowded - but planting trees in urban spaces can increase biodiversity and create wildlife habitats for the future.

Stay alert during the period between Christmas and New Year’s Day. This is one of the strongest liminal events of the year and is known to cause temporal anomalies. If you get lost to time, rest assured it will return to its normal state shortly. Hopefully.

Why do baby octopuses take jellyfish for a ride? This should have been on an exam.
