How humanity moved from ‘eternal’ to ‘bookended’ time | Aeon Essays Nothing lasts forever: not humanity, not Earth, not the Universe. But finitude confers an indelible meaning to our lives

Only recently has the human collective begun accepting the fact it is itself mortal. We now appreciate that events unfolded for aeons before us and that our species can disappear, never to return. How has this understanding changed our sense of orientation within time?

By dismantling USAID projects, the world will be less safe. Colombia has a fragile peace and yet has been one of the primary recipients of Venezuelan migrants.

US pulling up its stakes will be self-defeating. Could end up with renewed violence in Colombia and Colombians fleeing en masse.

Visual Practice Starter Pack Resources for developing as a graphic recorder

If you read one uplifting thing today - let it be this one. A decade ago, I was briefly seconded to the Capgemini ASE…Which is like a design thinking lab for corps. I met Aaron there and his article here is a really interesting deep dive on visual practice.

Look, I’m gonna break it to you, it’s a real shame you’re hearing or reading alt text and not seeing this incredible frog. It’s just… imagine a pancake, slightly burned in an intricate kind of pattern on top. Now puff it up like it’s some kind of incredible dumpling. Now put some legs evenly spaced around the edges, with stubby digits. And put some little bronze eyes in there for good measure. Now imagine that the pancake is deeply nonplussed, as is plain to see across its very flat face. That is what this frog looks like. It is perhaps one of evolution’s greatest achievements.

Bluesky has not yet had any Rhombophryne testudo. Let’s fix that. I think it will do all of us some good. 🐸🟤

Wide range of Earth’s species are showing a decline in diversity The loss of genetic variation means species may be less resilient to climate change and other stressors

Our long term project has finally been published - genetic diversity is lost worldwide, but we can also make a difference and conservation actions matters.
