My review of ROOTS considers what freedom actually means in the dust of this planet. The practice of racialised enslavement was engineered as an enduring structure to erase peoples humanity. Failure to account for that means that true freedom is always a becoming. folukeafrica.com/a-review-of-...

One of the most interesting biographies I discovered during my #DecolonisingChemistry project for the @chemistryatyork.bsky.social curriculum was that of Alice Ball a black chemist, whose leprosy treatment, using carbonyl chemistry to build on traditional medicine, was stolen by a male colleague.

Don't do this to your plumbing, because it can really mess it up, and this isn't my lab, but it's a sink filled with dry ice that is boiling over with CO2. A black lab bench with carboy of water next to the sink, and a centrifuge on the bench in fashionable "science beige".

🇧🇷Urubu-da-mata 🌎Cathartes melambrotus Conservação: Pouco Preocupante O urubu-da-mata é uma ave cathartiforme da família Cathartidae. 📷 André Mendonça

Um grande pássaro de plumagem predominantemente preta e brilhante está pousado sobre um poste de madeira, visto de costas com as asas totalmente estendidas para os lados. Sua cabeça é calva, apresentando uma coloração vibrante em tons de amarelo-alaranjado e avermelhado, com um bico robusto e claro de ponta levemente curvada. As penas do corpo exibem variações de brilho, com tons metálicos ou esverdeados, enquanto as penas das asas longas e abertas mostram detalhes em nuances de marrom acinzentado nas extremidades. A cauda, em forma de leque, também é negra e curta. A postura da ave é majestosa e estável, indicando um comportamento de aquecimento ou secagem ao sol. O fundo da cena é composto por uma vegetação desfocada em tons de verde e áreas claras e borradas, sugerindo um ambiente natural aberto durante o dia.

By shedding most of the "support infrastructure" of vascular plants, they're optimized for growth & efficiency! They're also quite high in protein (for a plant) relative to mass. That makes them attractive as a robust food source, a good candidate for Mars colonization, a carbon sink & biofuel.
