Someone will find it, and it will mean the world to them.

I wish they could bring back a change of battery back.

An overhead shot shows a smartphone displaying an energy label, placed on a European Union flag. The energy label is prominently displayed on the phone screen, featuring the word "ENERG" in blue at the top right. Below this is a QR code and the text "MODEL IDENTIFIER." On the left, a bar graph with letters A through G illustrates energy efficiency, with "A" at the top in dark green, descending to "G" in red. A large "B" indicates the appliance's energy class. Below this, a battery or power symbol is accompanied by "15h 35min." Further down, three icons are arranged horizontally, followed by "XY00x" and "IP68." The EU flag, with its yellow stars on a blue background, fills the rest of the frame.

📱 Tumbled, stumbled, stayed sustainable.

New EU Ecodesign and Energy Labelling laws have entered into force.

Your smartphone or tablet must last longer, be easier to fix, and use less energy.

Here’s what changes for you ↓

Posted fic for the first time in four months! The power of a good deadline!

A lot of women find this out the hard way.

"Men are afraid women will laugh at them. Women are afraid men will kill them."

The U.K. still has crumbling schools and unable to feed their kids after 14 years of Tory cuts.
How are we paying for this?

This article is going to turn me into the Joker. Literary style is not a puzzle you solve to get a little information treat 😩😩😩

lol, 🤪 I need a title for a story. It’s fine. I finished a fic for the first time in three months (and beset by IRL drama). I am good

I wish I could take your pain and give it to someone we both really hate.

Hmmm. No. I will kill them with craft beer. Cheers! 🍻

Hey, can you give me any hints about killing slugs? They are eating my garden up and I am this close to flooding everywhere with beer.

The junfa event that Oracle is hosting. I told her that I wanted to write something for it. The fic is getting a bit more complicated than I’d like. Story of my life.

I sat down to write today. Deadlines are inspiring meeeee

Posted before, but it seems more relevant and applicable by the day.

Agree. I will never understand the desperate wish of tech promoters and AI users to avoid doing the things that make us human. Writing is hard; that’s the point. Art is difficult to make & worth it. Reading can be a challenge; it’s how to learn. Why delegate these to soulless AI? To do what instead?

Yeah I usually hate the old “capitalists want to charge you to breathe the air” stuff but damn this really feels like they want to take books away and charge to have a computer read for us.

There’s a lot of good fic, enjoy!

As usual in these cases, one man's personal ambition, amorality, and damaging family dynamics mean that thousands must die.

As with Putin.

As with Trump.

As with RFK jnr

As with any dictator you care to mention.

There has to be a better way than this.

Repost with Alt Text.

...bc yeah, THIS.

Congratulations! 🙌🏽 I hope it’s everything you’ve dreamed of and more!

Why academic institutions are cutting ties with Israel Messages from colleagues from Gaza and the displaced Palestinian students on our campuses have been the driving force for many of us

Excellent article from David Landy of TCD on their courageous decision to cease collaborations with Israeli universities and other institutions. Would love to see my university, TU Dublin, following suit.

A photo looking out towards the sea, with a sandy path in front and long grasses leading up to the shore. White, digital text is repeated on top of the image as follows: THERE IS ENOUGH IF WE SHARE THERE IS ENOUGH IF WE SHARE THERE IS ENOUGH IF WE SHARE THERE IS ENOUGH IF WE SHARE THERE IS ENOUGH IF WE SHARE THERE IS ENOUGH IF WE SHARE THERE IS ENOUGH IF WE SHARE THERE IS ENOUGH IF WE SHARE THERE IS ENOUGH IF WE SHARE THERE IS ENOUGH IF WE SHARE THERE IS ENOUGH IF WE SHARE THERE IS ENOUGH IF WE SHARE THERE IS ENOUGH IF WE SHARE THERE IS ENOUGH IF WE SHARE

I'll say it over and over.

I do not believe in gate keeping.

I do not believe in pulling up the ladder.

I believe in kicking the wall down like the Kool-Aid man, and making room as I go for those who come next.

Just because it was hard for me, doesn't mean it has to be hard for anyone else.

Do it. Tell yourself that the only rule is to make and that everything is an experiment. Take the stress off.

Gaza: the grim reality of genocide

The first comprehensive analysis of how Israel's war on Gaza will cause suffering for generations to come.

A catalogue of the physical, mental & societal damage.

Please have a read. It’s important. 👇

There is no justification whatsoever for the US or UK to provide any support, material or diplomatic, for Israel's attack on Iran. It is a war of aggression, clearly contrary to international law.

I literally cannot remember the last time I agreed with a Daily Express front page. Terribly strange feeling.

Health The Future of the HPV Vaccine Is Up in the Air One of the most effective vaccines available was going to become more accessible—until RFK Jr. dismissed the CDC’s advisory committee. By Katherine J. Wu

OMFG, the HPV vaccine 😩

Having the nation's public health now led by the world's most dangerous, most extreme, & most notorious anti-vaxxer, one who has made a fortune peddling disgusting anti-vaccine lies, is going to get many people killed
