Big cities like Hongkong inspired the Megapolis Architecture series—a digital art showcase of dense and sometimes dystopian buildings. This way of living together has a particular fascination for me.

Still thinking about the presentation I saw yesterday on Sporotrichosis, a fungal infection that affects humans and cats. All the photos of human patients had a little black or white rectangle over their eyes to protect their identities. All that cats shown ... also had a little rectangle over their eyes.
The UK had just 72'000 applications for asylum in 2022. That's a 20 year high.
France had 499'914 in 2021.
Don't tell France they should be doing more when every indication is that the UK does very little except pour hate on desperate people.
this is a recent profile of #HaraldurÞorleifsson aka #Halli, the #Twitter employee (via sale to Twitter of Ueno, the company at which he was CEO) whom #ElonMusk says "did nothing," & mocked for his disability, but who was voted Person of the Year this year for his tech & accessibility work in his home country of Iceland https://www.icelandreview.com/news/haraldur-thorleifsson-sweeps-person-of-the-year-awards/
If you access corporate email on a personal device that can be unlocked with FaceID, you must change your face at least once every sixty days.
You may not reuse any of the most recent 12 faces.
The reason why small boats cross the channel are myriad. The main one being that there are no legal options available to them.
Braverman is lying to you. Stoking the hatred, turning your attention from the problems the tories have created, and fostered for 13 years, to poor people fleeing war, famine, persecution and death.
She is the worst of us.

What I find interesting about this sign is that it appears to be wilfully misleading. This certainly isn’t *public*, in the sense of shared by and for the benefit of the public. It’s private parking, which citizens can pay a private profit-making company to use. We need to be honest about who benefits from different aspects of our cities, and we cannot forget what genuine public space and public facilities are, because otherwise we risk losing them. #cities #Cars #PublicSpace
On this #TrailCamTuesday, here's one of my favourite clips captured to date. Can't wait to get back and see who has passed through this winter. #wildlife
Petition from #FlightFreeUK asking the #BBC to stop offering flights as prizes, which normalises flying, one of the most carbon intensive activities we can do, in a time of #ClimateBreakdown.

Sometimes people are out there doing cool shit, cool shit you'll never know about. You gotta be OK with that.
Social media gives us visibility, and we expect it. While at the same time the algorithms hide things from us, things get memory holed. There's the expectation of visibility, that if we don't see/know about things that are happening then they aren't. Algorithmic social media reinforces this. Perceived lack of action adds to feeling despondent, which drives engagement for those sites. Don't get me wrong, there is inaction, definitely.
But feeling like no one is doing anything at all, that's just not true. We should have some trust that people that share our values *do* care, and may be acting in ways that aren't obvious, both intentionally and unintentionally. That doesn't mean leave it all to them, it means thinking with interdependence in mind. You aren't alone in this, so how can you contribute? How can your actions bolster another's? Using this lens this can lead to agency and activation, we can be mycelial!

Almost 200 million people around the world have endometriosis. So why does it take so long to get diagnosed? Here's an #EndometriosisAwarenessMonth thread about this common and chronic gynaecological condition.
Has anyone else had difficulty with #AccountMigration from @purism's #LibremOne to #SocialCoop (@SocialCoop)? When I try to create an #AccountAlias it says my old account handle could not be found. Anyone able to advise please? Many thanks
Tories don't want you to know this: April 5th is the deadline to apply for voter ID - or register for a postal vote by April 18th. Get the word out. #VoterID
