My partner and I (2/4th of SNW) are both trans and attempting to leave the US (I’m also an Arab immigrant). It’s extremely expensive, so please consider buying our game/leaving it a review so that we have some sort of income when we inevitably have to make the jump and start over. Thank you.

Here are some actions the EU could take ✨right now✨ to improve our access to clean water:

❌ Phase out fossil fuels
✅ Prioritise water for drinking (and not as cooling systems for AI data centres…)
✅ Invest to modernise water infrastructures
Water should be accessible & free for all. Map showing the level of clean water shortages in the EU

HAPPY 35TH BIRTHDAY TO THE BEST TELESCOPE EVER!! THANK YOU FOR GIVING US SUCH BEAUTIFUL AND ICONIC IMAGES OVER THE YEARS!!! 🌌🤩
Large orange, yellow, and red clouds of dust and gas tower in the image, interspersed with a few pink stars. Resembling a pair of butterfly wings, two lobes of a nebula stretch out from a central point, reaching to the upper right and lower left of the image. The lobes glow in pink, white, red, and orange hues, against a black background of space dotted with stars. A roughly circular nebula, glowing in bright blue near the left curve, fills most of the image. At the top left corner is a region of gold-brown gas and dust. The "bubble" has bright pink stars seen throughout and is in front of dark blue and brown regions of gas and dust. This Hubble image shows how young, energetic, massive stars illuminate and sculpt their birthplace with powerful winds and searing ultraviolet radiation. In this Hubble portrait, the giant red nebula (NGC 2014) and its smaller blue neighbor (NGC 2020) are part of a vast star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, located 163,000 light-years away. The image is nicknamed the "Cosmic Reef," because the nebulas resemble an undersea world. By contrast, the seemingly isolated blue nebula at lower left (NGC 2020) has been created by a solitary mammoth star 200,000 times brighter than our Sun. The blue gas was ejected by the star through a series of eruptive events during which it lost part of its outer envelope of material.

“Everything is Fine” by Lisa Sterle from the Modern Witch Tarot – love this interpretation of one of my favorite tarot cards
the tarot Ten of Swords illustrated with a young woman lying on the ground, reading from a mobile phone, with ten swords driven through her back, captioned “everything is fine”

My first blog is up! Originally an essay for my Master, I wrote from my own embodied experience about the parallel between collapse in the body and collapse in society. What happens when we, as a society, learn to live with collapse and loss, instead of despite it?

Happy birthday to Antonio Gramsci. 👑

"Every collapse brings with it intellectual and moral disorder. We need to create sober, patient people, who do not despair in the face of the worst horror and who do not become excited about every little thing. Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will."

how it feels to drive at night with astigmatism:
A wider field view of Westerlund 1. A dense cluster of bright stars, each with six large and two small diffraction spikes, due to the telescope’s optics. They have a variety of sizes depending on their brightness and distance from us in the cluster, and different colours reflecting different types of star. Patches of billowing red gas can be seen in and around the cluster, lit up by the stars. Small stars in the cluster blend into a background of distant stars and galaxies on black.

Yesterday I entered the Orthodox Church of Saint Charalampos at Dimitsana and was greeted by amazing western style frescoes from Genesis. This particular one with Eva giving Adam the apple and the All Seeing Eye is a rare sight.

I have already donated to Wikipedia for this year, and now I'm going to do that again.
rebeccasolnit.bsky.social Rebecca Solnit @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social · Dec 27
Elon Musk does not want you to donate to Wikipedia, which is itself a good reason to donate, but the much better reason is that it's Wikipedia. Just donated again last night.
Tweet from Robert J. Berger: "Elon Musk has ordered everyone to stop donating to Wikipedia..... donate.wikimedia.org is the link if anyone feels like disobeying a direct order from a billionaire jerkwad."

Figure/Finding Explainer: I love the figure from our chapter that made it into the Summary for Policymakers of the IPBES #transformativechange assessment. It was a group effort that captures our entire chapter in a single image. Let me talk you through it: 🧵

SPM: ipbes.canto.de/pdfviewer/vi...
The SPM figure drawn from Ch4 of the Transformative Change Assessment - it is a wheel, with the central views/structures/practices that need to be changed at the center, a ring of underlying causes of biodiversity loss and nature's decline around the center, another ring of five challenges to transformative change, and outside the 20 barriers that emerge from these challenges.

Last night I went to a very delightful event where Nightmare on Film Street hosts Jonathan and Kimmi were selling and signing this lil book. So to try it out, I made their Beware Crimson Peak based on @realgdt.bsky.social ‘s 2015 film Crimson Peak!
In the back is a bottle of read wine that’s reads Scaia and to the right of it is a black book with metallic purple lettering and pictures. The title of the book is Cocktails from the Crypt. In front of the book is a small rocks glass with a rose ice cube inside, it has a mixture of bourbon and amaretto with a red wine (the Scaia) float. It is garnished with a luxardo cherry skewered with a red skull as is appropriate for this drink.
