I liked this interview with writer and environmentalist Professor Bill McKibben which seems to be a nice blend of sober realism and realistic hope.

I have recently been writing posts inspired by the etymologies of words to do with wrecks and salvage and I have had fun finding images to accompany them. This one is of a ship being “devoured by an octopus” by Orra White Hitchcock and created sometime in the 1600s.
