I initially made this for an illustration contest. I wanted to go out of my comfort zone a bit. Nothing super special but I’m proud of it nonetheless.

The amount of AI generated art in slides at this conference, primarily used by older scientists, is killing me. Scientists please. Don’t use these ai platforms to make your figures or slides. They look bad and I have yet to see them meaningfully improve the message of talks.

I think letting children make books together gets them thinking in a lot of ways that inevitably lead to increased media literacy. Telling stories helps you to recognise stories elsewhere. Who is telling them? How are they being told? And why are they being told this way?

🚨 Spicy gummy worm alert! 🚨 🐛
Though it may look delicious, the bright colors warn of its ability to sting. Kinda looks like it's wearing pajamas...

Like the mass murder of bison on the Plains or the clearing of the Eastern Woodlands for animal agriculture, colonialism annihilates and replaces ecosystems as well as peoples, polities, and cultures.
When you consider the *ecocide* alongside the genocide being perpetrated in Gaza, you begin to grasp the totality of the Israeli state’s attempt to eliminate both the Palestinians and their homeland.

Israel’s ecocide in Gaza sends this message: even if we stopped dropping bombs, you couldn’t live here | George Monbiot
Consider the annihilation of agricultural land alongside the genocide – and grasp the chilling totality of this attempt to eliminate all life, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot
