I only grow when you give me the space
Water me, not a drop goes to waste

Occasionally in my reading I stumble on a passage that seems so germane it's as though truth and emotion have jumped across decades. Consider this from a letter the philosopher A.J. Ayer wrote in 1939: "The political situation makes me more and more depressed. I resent above all the feeling of impotence from which one suffers at times like these, the feeling that really everything one values is at the mercy of knaves and fools" ("A.J. Ayer: A Life," p. 160). #politics @bookstodon #despair
‘We have to become self-reliant’:
#African #scientists respond to dramatic U.S. aid cuts
#Lagos, #Nigeria—For many African researchers and health officials, the past 6 weeks have been nothing short of shocking. The freeze on U.S. foreign aid, followed by the 25 February announcement that #Trump’s administration had terminated 90% of all awards from the #USAID, have caused #outrage and #despair around the continent.
7.2: Ariel & Christina Discuss: Why Must Utopia Be Cruel?
In this episode, Ariel and Christina try to get to the bottom of why our fictional visions of utopia are so negative. They often involve mindless acquiescence to an authoritarian nanny state, the oppression and labor of an underclass, or both. It’s as if we can’t imagine a situation in which we all voluntarily treat each other (reasonably) decently and life can be good for everyone. We discuss the literary origins of utopia, how it has evolved (or not) as a concept, and Ariel gives a few examples of sci-fi futures that are about as close to her style of solarpunk utopia as can be. Ultimately, the topic of utopia raises more questions than answers.

nightmare II - reality burn
Even during the day, the nightmares don't stop. How is it possible for reality to become so unhinged?

When I walked into the kitchen this morning, spouse said, "I saved the most expensive Valentine's present for this morning."
And he handed me an egg.
We laughed hard, but it was the morbid laughter of dark times, and though I know that "all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us," but I really wish none of this were happening.

Did You Know? People tend to feel happier and more contentment when they could have their needs met throughout their life!
Stunning revelation. If only we could redistribute excess hoards of wealth back to most people!
We could start giving to people in abject poverty or 'absolute poverty'.
Then we could keep adding to people in abject poverty and people in asset poverty. (Asset poverty means someone could not sell enough assets to cover 3 months of expenses.)
Then we could keep adding to people in abject, asset, and relative poverty. And so on.

Charming little #pixelart pseudo-game music video in the style of an #rpg — "A sense of hope… first navigate winding paths, outsmart hidden traps, and defeat monsters that stand in your way to reach… The path of the characters might not always seem linear and more than once have they felt the sting of defeat. Undeterred by this they push forward, collecting what traces of hope they can find to use as a weapon against the Lord of #Despair.” ~ #Comprehending

My matrix synapse homeserver is 500ing again.
At this point I might as well switch to a paid instance, because apparently nerds can’t even make their own communication infra anymore without taking VC money and paying landlords for using it.
