I'd be telling a lie if I said I'd finished writing Book II, Button Up Buttercup, but it's VERY close. Sharing is always difficult. Finally having eyes on it that aren't my own. I'm so deeply enmeshed in the characters and the story there's grief in completion. My brain can't tell the difference between them being real and being lies.
Book III awaits. It's SO big. I write books to change the world.
No fibs.
I love looking through people's bookshelves! It gives you an idea who they are.
I'm a knowledge prepper. When Google is gone my descendants will have something to refer to. They might make a difference to their lives, maybe even save them. Have problem? I have the book for that!
Tomorrow I'll show you around the Loobrary, maybe even the launbry!
What prepping books would you recommend?
🌪️ Two years of gold mining devastates Peruvian peatlands, outpacing damage of the last 30 years

New research published in the journal Environmental Research Letters reveals that artisan gold mining in the southern Peruvian Amazon has caused more destruction to carbon-rich peatlands in the past two years than in the previous three decades combined, posing a serious threat to the environment and climate.
And that's why we need to reimagine the world where we have an economic system that (instead of being a cult) incentivises the flourishing of people and planet and we realign with what is possible, rather than assume we can live the impossible.
That dream is a nightmare.
