If you could use a little brightness in your day, I recommend spending some time with sled dog MUPPY. I’m genuinely obsessed with her. She is an icon. She is a legend. Her legs are 4 inches long.
Meet Muppy, the World’s Smallest Sled Dog
Most sled dogs are huskies and pointers, but Muppy didn’t get the memo. With sheer determination and a whole lot of heart, this little dog is rewriting the rules of racing.

a key take away from reading a lot of history for me:
the people who survive hard times and eventually brutally humiliate their seemingly invincible enemies are not the people whose first response to adversity is “oh well, guess I’ll die”

it’s becoming increasingly clear the goal of the far right is to defund and buy up every source of reliable information until there is no more objective reality to counter them

Here's your daily reminder that bookstores keep the love of reading alive — but they also keep neighborhoods beautiful. They are places to gather, to celebrate stories, to find community.
Please do your holiday shopping at your local independent bookstore, if you are lucky enough to still have one.

I read a lot of stuff I probably shouldn’t have been reading as a kid, pilfered from my mum’s bookshelves, and I honestly believe if my parents had vetted my reading I probably wouldn’t be the reader I am today. Just let kids read what they like, it’ll be fine. 🤷🏻♀️

I'm not particularly superstitious, but I do hold on to this one irrationality: the burning of the goat DOES matter.
My argument is that it hasn't burned for years now and shit keeps getting steadily worse. It was eaten by crows last year, but clearly that wasn't good enough.

This is one of the reasons why, even as we fight climate change as a structural problem, we also need to address it as a consumption problem, only part of which is constrained by our choices at the institutional level.
In thinking about what rich nations owe the developing world, here’s something to keep in mind:
The average American emits more CO₂ in one week than an average person in low-income countries does in one year.
