I found Hearn’s piece through Today in Tabs, where I also found a link to some free anti-ICE posters that I printed out onto vinyl sticker paper and cut out. I’m not sure exactly what I’m going to do with them.
An array of six stickers reading "WE BEAT EM BEFORE... WE'LL BEAT EM AGAIN" and showing a Nazi getting bayonetted and an ICE agent getting filmed on camera.

When it gets real gloomy and wet, why not head for a nearby hill, right at nightfall, and indulge in some fog-bathing?

A Good Syllabus: https://www.jasper.land/2026/01/09/a-good-syllabus.html
A screenshot of text messages reading "Yeah! Many citations but l'd start with Langdon Winner's essay "Do Artifacts Have Politics?" Fun fact: Winner was mom's advisor in Santa Cruz! He spent a year or two as a visiting prof there (from MIT I think) A short book/long essay that expands fruitfully on the intersection of tech and energy is "Energy and Equity" by Ivan Illich. A genuinely radical book that will make you want to ride your bicycle "Small Is Beautiful" by EF Schumacher also really influential There's a lot of nuance here. Solar PV and batteries require complicated global supply chains too"

The Housekeeper and the Professor is a great book. But man, could I love this reissue’s cover any more?

(Spotted at the surprisingly fun Barnes & Noble at the Grove.)

If you see them in a grocery store, why not buy some kiwifruit, quarter them, peel their hairy skin, and slurp down a few wedges of alien-green, tart-sweet flesh?

Last week when I wrote about reading a Big Winter Book™ and taking lots of baths, I somehow neglected to include the reference photograph of Mason & Dixon resting upon the requisite next-to-bath hand-drying towel. I apologize for the oversight.

More melt report, courtesy of Leo:

The kid saw this and said, “He’s wearing a dress!”

I’ve been reading the pamphlet, Radical Witchcraft: Oppression and Resistance, which I picked up a few years ago at the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic in Boscastle, Cornwall. Lots of good stuff, including this Hitler pincushion... https://www.jasper.land/2025/12/10/ive-been-reading-the-pamphlet.html

Less useful tip but more pleasureable: you can turn Apple Maps on your phone into a fidget spinner just by engaging streetview and looking straight up. (Sadly, Google Maps doesn’t let you whip around nearly as fast.)
