Yes! I just finished it earlier this week, and I loved the ideas in it. The idea of Information is so cool, and I love how the series highlights the tension between democratic self-determination and meeting global needs for environmental conservation and trustworthiness of information sources.
Thanks for the idea! I stole it for my sign today ☺️
oh… this looks good, but it’s behind a paywall. what’s the basic gist? does it mention how the US is gutting the science that would take measurements of the thermosphere that we could use to understand and predict the orbits?
What are these images from?
“A society with festering workers cannot flourish, just as a man with rotting toes cannot skip.”
For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...
Ohhh… it is a threat, isn’t it? Keep quiet about immigration and the Church won’t get hurt 😣
And I don’t know what your field is, because literally all of them are on the front lines right now. It’s hard right now not to see this as pathways to upward mobility cut off because of resentment from our relatives who weren’t on the same pathways.
Yep! Rage crochet is my favorite pastime these days.

Here, as with the dems in congress, the republicans know exactly how to use the slow, careful, ass-covering methods of our institutions against them.
Right now we don’t need you to try and be someone else. This moment in history needs people who are dedicated to being themselves prophetically, who use their gifts to make the world a more beautiful, tender place in the midst of chaos, oppression and hate.
Invest in your gifts.
We need you.
To my mind, that is so obviously what they’re doing that the denialism is driving me crazy. I’m feeling like Cassandra over here.
You were at my favorite fiber crafts store! ❤️

Hey AI, is AI a good tool to use to restore faith in academia?
Actually I kind of want to know what it would say about that 😆
What am I even looking at here? Because it looks like this is suggesting using their AI tool to figure out things like how to restore faith in their institutions… but that can’t be what they’re recommending.
Reminding myself
How can I teach my kids to pray and work for justice and peace and then take them to a Mass where no one else cares about that work?
I’ve been asking myself this so much lately. My biggest struggle is that I’ve always turned to my faith for the courage I needed, but I’m increasingly feeling like we’re walking that path alone.
Oh weird… mine are definitely all people that I’ve followed.
So at least on mine, when I tap the home icon at the bottom, I get several labels at the top - Discover is people that bluesky thinks I’d be interested in and Following is people that I’m actually following. I also added a Mutuals tab, so those posts don’t get lost: bsky.app/profile/did:...
Does your feed show you lots of people you aren’t following?
This is so beautiful. I’m not sure yet what my word will be. Last year was self-compassion. It taught me so many lessons and carried me so far.
A starry night sky background with white text that reads: Peace to those whose hero has fallen from our pedestals, our hope, our grace Peace to those who don’t live up to their art who taught us something vital they themselves cannot yet understand Peace to those who mourn as if a real world was lost Your love is real Always Jessica Kantrowitz 365 Days of Peace
Always.
Haha, yeah, I know what you mean. But something about the way you phrased that 1st sentence really struck a chord with me. Because the attraction toward authoritarian structures & the use of isolation to control and keep people “in line” is all a part of that paradox…
it looks like I’m in 65n, too! So… what do I do with this information? Are there region-specific resources somewhere?
There's so much angst and despair radiating all around us. This is wholly understandable, but if something's giving you warmth or strength (even just a bit), be sure to uplift that as well. Help others remember that kindness, solidarity, and care are still at work in the world.
