"The Wildcraft Drones is a brilliant glimpse into a future we desire. T. K. Rex's prose is magnificent and her characters feel real all the time. The stories in this collection are varied and encompass a wide spectrum of climate fiction and solarpunk, but what they hold in common is a lingering feeling of hope and resistance. You can read this collection just for fun, but you will be getting much more than fun: a sense of climate justice and of shared humanity. Some wealthy people seem to be reading dystopias as rulebooks of how to run the world. Instead, I'd say for people to read The Wildcraft Drones as a rulebook of how to live in community and find a healthy path to our future." Renan Bernard, Nebula finalist author of Disgraced Return of the Kap's Needle

Renan Bernardo gifted these lovely words about T. K. Rex's THE WILDCRAFT DRONES. "Wealthy people seem to be reading dystopias as rulebooks ... Instead, I'd say for people to read The Wildcraft Drones as a rulebook of how to live in community and find a healthy path to our future." Thanks, Renan!

A top climate scientist just resigned from NASA. Here's why Climate scientist Kate Marvel talked to Scientific American about her decision to leave NASA amid federal government turmoil and funding challenges

As @drkatemarvel.bsky.social explains here, when the US admin ended the NASA climate modeling group's office lease, they were kicked out of their building -- and "have been kind of couch surfing at various NYC universities and libraries" since then. Unbelievable.

Have a little Howard Zinn to counter all the ~waves hands indicating everyfuckingthing~

"To be hopeful in bad times is not being foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of competition and cruelty but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness."

Thor's Helmet, taken from my balcony

Thor’s Helmet (NGC 2359) is an emission nebula in the Canis Major region, visible only for a short period during the winter season. It also remains quite low on the horizon, right in the middle of the light-pollution belt. These are nearly 21 hours of integrated exposure. 🔭
