I’ll be honest I just don’t think I can commit to 2025 right now. I need a gap year or something. Just some time to find myself and figure out if another calendar year is really what I want to do with my life.

A Chanukah present from a dear friend. I need to read more this year. Got a lot of books on my "To Read" list and its only growing longer. Any tips on reading more? Or if you got back into reading/started reading more books more quickly, how did you do it?

First night of Chanukah - feels like a selfish and stupid thought to be having, but it's so painful to be celebrating the same festival the fascist zionists are revelling in whilst committing atrocities. Zionists don't have the monopoly on Jewish culture and religion, and yet... idk. It sucks.

You are being forced to give Thames Water an extra Β£500m a year in April.

It's supposed to be for fixing the Water Infrastructure.

But the will steal it all.

A page of a journal article, discussing policy suggestions for implementing renewable energy. Three columns of text, and in the middle is a pen and ink illustration of a ferret standing on a rock. There is no caption or context for the ferret.

Reading a paper about the feasibility of switching entirely to renewable energy and every few pages has a little drawing of a mustelid :) charming! doi:10.1016/j.tej.2009.03.011

Thanks for the link! I'll definitely add any thoughts if I feel like I have any worth adding haha. I'm excited to see what grows out of this in the coming year. And to get involved, of course!

the more organised the #workingclass is, the more concessions it can win from the employing class who aim to placate the workers.

The 8 hour work day, sick pay, weekends, etc etc, and above all else: a few free handfuls of cereal that looks like tiny cookies. hashtag grateful

Do I think it's important to know that a rabbit is a lagomorph, not a rodent? Not really. Do I think it's important to fact check your quiz questions before exposing me to them? Yes, please, it bothers me personally

In a quiz at university rn. The question was: "Which order do the following mammals belong to: rat, squirrel, rabbit, vole, mouse?"

And the answer was rodent... Help 😭😭
