Just found out an org I'm affiliated with gets their hex stickers printed with Sticker Mule (who are MAGA supporters) - where are the rad projects getting stickers printed these days? Recommendations please!

(right now we're looking for USA-based, but long-terms we'll want an EU printer too - […]

(I'm gonna keep updating this thread over the next few weeks as I play with it in different spaces, so depending on your interest in this now might be a great time to mute/subscribe to the #Aranet4 hashtag!)

Testing out my new #Aranet4 on the train today - not bad!

I bought it to keep an eye on the c02 levels in indoor public spaces so that I can make an informed decision about whether to wear a mask, open a window, or in an extreme case: encouraging a venue to […]

A photo of an Aranet4 device (a small white box which looks a bit like an alarm clock, with an e-ink screen) showing a value of 1218, on a train table, surrounded by other train paraphernalia - a coffee cup, a paper, a water bottle, and a die (for playing a game called "Scheiße" with).

I just realized that @KnowableMag and @AnnualReviews are here on #mastodon and in the #fediverse. Yay! And I think they definitely should have more followers!

Why is Starmer becoming more confident criticising Brexit? Because quietly, without any great drama, a consensus has been reached. It's a disaster inews.co.uk/opinion/brex...

Incredibly powerful writing and writes science fiction and fantasy that I actually enjoy reading after getting disillusioned with the Tolkein lineage for its deep racism & colonialism. Her […]

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com

p.s. my new book of science cartoons 'Physics for Cats' is out now. Visit www.tomgauld.com for details

A group of scientists huddle excitedly around a monitor. One says:
"The program has detected a signal sent from another galaxy, but we need to upgrade to a paid version before we can reply."

The screen reads "Choose a plan To unlock replies: 1. Student 2. Basic 3. Pro 4. Expert "

Day 3: Octavia Butler.

Incredibly dark, graphic, and disturbing near-future science fiction, which has proved absolutely prophetic. In the 1990's she was writing about a charismatic Conservative Christian and white nationalist president elected in 2024, and the horrors his paramilitary […]

I want to live in a society where the currency of exchange is gratitude and the infinitely renewable resource of kindness, which multiplies every time it is shared rather than depreciating with use.

In a gift economy, wealth is understood as having enough to share, and the practice for dealing with abundance is to give it away: In fact, status is determined not by how much one accumulates, but bu how much one gives away. The currency in a gift economy is […]

When I speak about reciprocity as a relationship, let me be clear. I don't mean bilateral exchange in which an obligation is incurred, and can then be discharged with a reciprocal "payment". I mean keeping the gift in motion, in a way that is open and diffuse, so that the gift does not […]

Just been fiddling around with @Liberapay and it's really got extra nice since I last used it 👌 ✨
