I made a thing!

I was playing around with the AT protocol and as a little experiment I made a website that visualises activity around Bluesky: nightsky.hctr.dev

It listens to all new posts and shows them as little stars across a night sky 🌃

Every star is someone, somewhere, posting something

We are all intertwined within our context, embedded in places that either nourish us or deplete us.

I recently moved from a very depleting context to a very nourishing one, and the way that shift has expressed itself in my body surprised me.

Thanks for reading!

All the more reason for Open Source reforestation data. It's that easy to make an site appear to be planted when it's not.

🛰️🔥This diffusion model app is crazy - it edited the Planet NICFI satellite image changing some areas affected by deforestation, fire & logging to something else - mostly "reforested" them - and it actually looks good 📷

In this Reality Roundtable, Nate is joined by members of the bioregioning movement, Daniel Christian Wahl, Samantha Power, and Isabel Carlisle, to discuss the necessity of reconnecting to our local places for the sake of addressing our ecological, social, and economic challenges.
