This story isn‘t about ‘the world‘s taste for soya‘, it‘s about the world‘s taste for meat. The vast majority of soya is grown for animal feed. Less than 10% is for direct human consumption. A shame it‘s not mentioned in the story.

How the world’s taste for soya is eating Brazil’s Amazon
Cultivation of the crop has made a few wealthy but at a huge cost to untouched forest as it spreads across vast areas of former wilderness

Ive seen LLMs pushed a lot to fellow #adhd students and scholarship to "help" them with things like detail work and structuring work. Ive also seen many punished for trusting this offer of help too. Here's what to use instead:

Of course you could also just ban school uniforms & stop the weirdness of dressing kids as worker drones. But a ban on plastic uniforms is a start.

New article by Nicola Thomas and me on Ulrike Draesner's epic poem "doggerland." It seems that literary writing about this particular landscape is not going to dry up any time soon 😆(geddit?). Nor is the scholarship on it.

we'll be expanding and updating the @uio-oceh.bsky.social site over the summer, so I figure why not throw open the question.

dear internet ( #EnvHum in particular ): what would you change to make this a better and more useful site for you? what works, what doesn't?
