There’s tough competition, but Baker Boy’s take on Jump by BLACKPINK is a strong contender for all time greatest Like A Version performance. Adding yiḏaki (Didgeridoo) to kpop is truly inspired.

"[Trees and plants] perceive, relate, and communicate; they exercise various behaviors. They cooperate, make decisions, learn, and remember – qualities we normally ascribe to sentience, wisdom, intelligence. By noting how trees, animals, and even fungi – any and all nonhuman species – have this agency, we can acknowledge that they deserve as much regard as we accord ourselves."

Suzanne Simard, Finding the Mother Tree, 2021

"Maybe, then, what we need to understand the forest's underland is a new language altogether – one that doesn't automatically convert it to our own use values. Our present grammar militates against animacy; our metaphors by habit and reflex subordinate and anthropomorphize the more-than-human world. Perhaps we need an entirely new language system to talk about fungi... We need to speak in spores."

Robert MacFarlane, Underland, 2019

Hello 👋. This is Rosie, the flock Watcher. She has all the neighbourhood tea. If someone's five minutes late for their walk, or sporting a new cardigan, she's onto it. Does not judge though. Loves lucerne hay and standing in the rain. Taken November '25.

📖What White People Can Do Next: From Allyship to Coalition by Emma Dabiri.

Fantastic breakdown of the way systematic inequalities and oppression hurt everyone, and how invented divisions keep people from forming meaningful coalitions to improve the world we live in. Everyone should read this! Loved it!

I keep seeing a lot of writers and youtubers still using #AI images to illustrate #solarpunk - even Aeon in their latest article did so.

Could I ask you to help spread https://storyseedlibrary.org/ around?

If you know a #sustainability / #climate creator who might want to talk about the movement, could you share the Library with them?

All SSL #art is human-made, Creative Commons (some even for commercial use) and translated to multiple languages!

Recently finished 'Greta & Valdin', 2021, by Rebecca K Reilly. I almost DNF'd this but very glad I didn't. For me, the sibling characters developed like real family – initially they seemed self-absorbed and frustrating, but then I became deeply invested and needed things to be okay for them. The book became a comforting space where things could go wrong and the world didn't end.
