Shannon Mattern“What if we had storytelling mechanisms that said it’s important that you know abt the well-being of wildlife in your neighborhood? That that’s newsworthy? This beautiful gift of attention that we human beings have is being hijacked to pay attention to products + someone else’s political agenda. Whereas if we can reclaim our attention + pay attn to things that really matter, there a revolution starts”

Can we please settle this debate already? There is no labor shortage. There is a living wage shortage, a hazard pay shortage, a child care shortage, a paid sick leave shortage, and a health care shortage.
The Conversation U.S.The US government’s main indicator of inflation, the consumer price index, is compiled by looking at the changes in price that urban Americans pay for a set basket of goods.

As if the environmental impact weren’t sufficient reason, the ever-deepening unpleasantness of travel — delays!, everything’s an upcharge!, everything’s self-service (balance your luggage and check yourself out on this little ledge while opening our origami shopping bag with your pinkie!) — confirms that I won’t be doing any more of those “let’s pop over to the EU for this two-day event in the middle of the semester, and get back for class on Monday” trips anymore.
For #BlackHistoryMonth, let's remember Bayard Rustin.
The civil rights leader, when he is remembered at all these days, is remembered for brilliantly organizing the 1963 March on Washington.
Not everyone appreciated his pioneering approach to intersectionality - and as a gay man, he was sometimes seen as a liability.
His biographer makes a case for Rustin as the signature radical voice during the 20th century

The Conversation Climate NewsWhile battery innovations get a lot of attention, there’s a simple, proven long-term storage technique that’s been used in the U.S. since the 1920s.

Batteries get hyped, but pumped hydro provides the vast majority of long-term energy storage essential for renewable power – here’s how it works
A team of researchers found 35,000 pairs of existing reservoirs, lakes and old mines in the US that could be turned into long-term energy storage – and they don’t need dams on rivers.
