My partner and I (2/4th of SNW) are both trans and attempting to leave the US (I’m also an Arab immigrant). It’s extremely expensive, so please consider buying our game/leaving it a review so that we have some sort of income when we inevitably have to make the jump and start over. Thank you.

See you there!

Water should be accessible & free for all. Map showing the level of clean water shortages in the EU

Here are some actions the EU could take ✨right now✨ to improve our access to clean water:

❌ Phase out fossil fuels
✅ Prioritise water for drinking (and not as cooling systems for AI data centres…)
✅ Invest to modernise water infrastructures

FUCK

IT'S HERE GO GO GO TRAILER TIME

In Varney the Vampire (one of the first vampire novels) the author asks, "art thou a spirit of health or a goblin damned?". I have been using this phrase to rate my days, but now I see that a damned goblin is an ungoblin. Thanks and noted👌😂

Large orange, yellow, and red clouds of dust and gas tower in the image, interspersed with a few pink stars.

Resembling a pair of butterfly wings, two lobes of a nebula stretch out from a central point, reaching to the upper right and lower left of the image. The lobes glow in pink, white, red, and orange hues, against a black background of space dotted with stars.

A roughly circular nebula, glowing in bright blue near the left curve, fills most of the image. At the top left corner is a region of gold-brown gas and dust. The "bubble" has bright pink stars seen throughout and is in front of dark blue and brown regions of gas and dust.

This Hubble image shows how young, energetic, massive stars illuminate and sculpt their birthplace with powerful winds and searing ultraviolet radiation. In this Hubble portrait, the giant red nebula (NGC 2014) and its smaller blue neighbor (NGC 2020) are part of a vast star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, located 163,000 light-years away. The image is nicknamed the "Cosmic Reef," because the nebulas resemble an undersea world. By contrast, the seemingly isolated blue nebula at lower left (NGC 2020) has been created by a solitary mammoth star 200,000 times brighter than our Sun. The blue gas was ejected by the star through a series of eruptive events during which it lost part of its outer envelope of material.

HAPPY 35TH BIRTHDAY TO THE BEST TELESCOPE EVER!! THANK YOU FOR GIVING US SUCH BEAUTIFUL AND ICONIC IMAGES OVER THE YEARS!!! 🌌🤩

March brought a lot-but also the Kick-off Meeting of AfroGrow in Nairobi, hosted by @cifor-icraf.bsky.social . Really excited to be part of this motivated consortium and looking forward to contributing to this very special project.😊

the tarot Ten of Swords illustrated with a young woman lying on the ground, reading from a mobile phone, with ten swords driven through her back, captioned “everything is fine”

“Everything is Fine” by Lisa Sterle from the Modern Witch Tarot – love this interpretation of one of my favorite tarot cards

Post-activism, disability and collapse: how to fall apart together Disability can teach us how to live with collapse — a valuable lesson in a world where our systems continue to fail.

My first blog is up! Originally an essay for my Master, I wrote from my own embodied experience about the parallel between collapse in the body and collapse in society. What happens when we, as a society, learn to live with collapse and loss, instead of despite it?

Happy birthday to Antonio Gramsci. 👑

We don't know each other, but I'm sending you courage for today😊

A wider field view of Westerlund 1. A dense cluster of bright stars, each with six large and two small diffraction spikes, due to the telescope’s optics. They have a variety of sizes depending on their brightness and distance from us in the cluster, and different colours reflecting different types of star. Patches of billowing red gas can be seen in and around the cluster, lit up by the stars. Small stars in the cluster blend into a background of distant stars and galaxies on black.

Snow looks really good on Brussels :)

The kitty is the best almost missed detail🥰

Yesterday I entered the Orthodox Church of Saint Charalampos at Dimitsana and was greeted by amazing western style frescoes from Genesis. This particular one with Eva giving Adam the apple and the All Seeing Eye is a rare sight.

I have already donated to Wikipedia for this year, and now I'm going to do that again.

My favourite historic era in a game???😍

The SPM figure drawn from Ch4 of the Transformative Change Assessment - it is a wheel, with the central views/structures/practices that need to be changed at the center, a ring of underlying causes of biodiversity loss and nature's decline around the center, another ring of five challenges to transformative change, and outside the 20 barriers that emerge from these challenges.

Figure/Finding Explainer: I love the figure from our chapter that made it into the Summary for Policymakers of the IPBES #transformativechange assessment. It was a group effort that captures our entire chapter in a single image. Let me talk you through it: 🧵

I got the Brussels flu but at least #StrangeHorticulture was on sale.

I am definitely going to buy it! Thanks for sharing this. :)
