Speaking of library detectives... #steampunk
A one page RPG called Elegance B. Lightly, Bibliohunter, where you chase after haunted books and try not to get yourself killed.

I often see people argue that clean energy is not reducing emissions, because it just adds to rather than replaces fossil fuels. This argument is deeply misguided – clean energy built since 2005 has displaced 23 billion tons. I dive in over at The Climate Brink:
theclimatebrink.com
What if the world hadn't built wind and solar?
Clean energy does not simply “add to” global energy use; it displaces fossil sources that would otherwise get built.

A golden sunset. #Manchester
A sunset. A black line of high rise buildings fill the bottom third of the screen. The top two thirds is orange sky, the yellow sun touching the horizon. Clouds are spread across the sky, their bottoms lit, their tops in shadow. It is a sky of fire and smoke, the end of a glorious day, or a moment of beauty before the battle to come.

Like have some sense of self preservation? never upload your 300 dpi resolution files, etc. keep your online posts at a respectable 74-150 dpi. Jpg’s preferablyz 😤 at 300+ most people can print your stuff at high res on billboards.

My hot take? If you cause an election to be called mid term for whatever reason you shouldn't be allowed to stand. If it's your choice not to see out your full term you shouldn't be able to apply for the job again.

The production designer was Ken Adam and, due to the small budget, he had just $12,000 to create huge sets like Dr. No’s lair. He did such a good job that, when the film came out, Stanley Kubrick immediately hired him to work on Dr Strangelove. 34/52

To expand on this: Bigotry isn't a result of an innocent misunderstanding, or not having all the facts. It's not a choice made rationally, defeated with a rational argument. Bigotry is a self-protective, foundational belief used to help make the world make sense to them. Debate won't change that.

Scientists confirmed a new species … a tiny octopus, first spotted during a deep-sea expedition near the Galápagos Islands in 2015, nearly 1,800 metres below the surface … a new species, Microeledone galapagensis … its unusual blue coloring may help it stay hidden in the darkness of the deep ocean.

the crazy thing about making time for any creative pursuit is that you literally have to do what you have a gut-deep yearning to do or else you'll see other people doing it, and it WILL make you insane.

Sir Ian McKellen orates 'The Stranger's Case' from 'Sir Thomas More' by Shakespeare about the Evil May Day xenophobic riot of 1517 in London. This passage was written 400 years ago, but times never change. Humanity refuses to change its unwarranted bias against 'others'.

Was bored with work, wanted to do something rewarding, I volunteer a few hours once a month for a charity. It's amazing. A boring Fess, but it is rewarding. Just do something good for someone, it will make you and more importantly someone else feel better. Do it, please.

Teatime. 😁
A mismatched teaset on a small bamboo tray. Different shades of pale pastel colours. A blue plate, a dark blue teapot, an aqua milk jug, a cream mug. There's a square piece of cake with white frosting on the plate. There also a dispenser of sweetners, a white tune with Norwegian writing on.Ready for tea. The mug is on the table next to the tray, full of tea, the plate beside it. There's a small fork on the plate.

What I always find fascinating about this stuff is that the "non-brewed condiment" label isn't, as you'd think, to do with modern food-labelling laws. It's because of the temperance movement more than a century ago.
