Folks, I'm an editor at #Conservation Biology and we are actively soliciting research papers that focus on "Diversifying Conservation" We want to create a special issue highlighting research from diverse voices, research that highlights #diversity (broadly defined) in conservation, and submissions that may be centered in non-western epistemologies. Abstracts due mid Feb, with research papers at the end of March. Hit me up for more details

I'm happy to announce we have this new article in Nature, discussing policies and challenges for a just transition. "Degrowth can work - here's how science can help": nature.com/articles/d41586-022

@pezmico Thank you, that's it exactly

@pezmico As I say my reaction seems to have been pretty unusual, but I still wouldn't want to take the risk of doing that to another child

@pezmico colluding to deceive me for reasons I couldn't understand. I'd have far preferred it if they' just said Santa was a story but a fun one from the outset

@pezmico I didn't know how to articulate it at the time, but what I'd have wanted was an explanation of why they'd done it ("We pretend Santa exists because it's a fun story to tell" or something). They saw I was upset and were trying to reassure me that I'd still get presents, but i was too young to be able to explain why I was really upset and that it wasn't about the presents, that I'd suddenly discovered that the entire adult world was untrustworthy and had apparently all been

@pezmico else that they said to me now. As I say I've never met anyone else who felt the same, and obviously if everyone had found the whole thing so scary as a child no one would still do it, but seeing my brother tell my nieces about Santa still makes me very uncomfortable and worried that he's setting them up for the same thing

@pezmico I was quite a weird, literal child, and having spoken to my friends my experience was by no means universal, but the amount of enjoyment I may have had from the Santa story was far, far outweighed by how upset and scared I was when I found out all the adults in my life had been conspiring to lie to me about something that at that age felt very important. I couldn't understand why they'd made this story up and convinced me it was true and I was terrified I couldn't trust anything

Musk doing the fake pronouns thing to mock trans people and siding with anti-vaxxers in the same tweet is incredibly disturbing. The people ignoring this because they think he's a genius even more so.

The collapse of a startup leaves implanted medical devices in > 700 people

The unavailability of the proprietary SW needed to recalibrate the devices and maintain its effectiveness, and the draining of batteries, will leave them without treatment and with HW implanted in their bodies

They have to hack their own implants

And it is not an isolated case but a trend

If your belief is that a bunch of kids should stop biking and scooting so you can drive over 40 mph on a city street, you are definitely the asshole.

This is my favorite pic from a visit to the Bata Shoe Museum in #Toronto. It's a clog from Auvergne, France, that was used to remove the spiny burr from chestnuts. #Fagacea #botany #shoes #fashion

@dhoe There's a lot to #solarpunk that isn't expressed in the AI generated imagery (much of which does just depict greenwashing) that are often associated with the concept.

Walkable cities are solarpunk, so is the #RightToRepair movement, repair cafes, composting food waste, planting native wildflowers on underutilized land, & even public libraries.

Pretty much any sustainable practice carried out equitably can be solarpunk, especially if communities are developed/strengthened in the process!

330 million year old perfection - a wee crinoid ossicle that beautifully highlights their five-fold (pentaradial) symmetry. There’s also a tiny fragment of bryozoan in the bottom right 🖤

@dhoe @gus @SolarpunkPrompts if you want another perspective, Solarpunk is another dramatical lens to look through:

In superhero movies, tech is always an artifact, to be used as a weapon.

In cyberpunk, tech is a means of control or rebellion. Nothing in-between. You cannot imagine Wikipedia.

In Solarpunk tech is empowering communities, its infrastructure.
