Have built a weird life for myself where I can do most of my errands by puttering around on my bicycle, which I enjoy.

every time carbon removal gets posted about there's a certain "we have trees at home" genre of response. which I get, on some level, because the forces of fossil capital are indeed that comically evil and dishonest. but: 1) actual scientists also research these things 2) they thought of that

I was inspired by two new novels: HEADLIGHTS by @ceejthemoment.bsky.social and ABSENCE by @solarshades.club which are both incredibly different even though they blend two of the same genres. Which sent me on a really fun deep dive.

Projection is truly one of the strongest historical forces. The slaver acts out of fear of enslavement. The génocidaire frets about their own obliteration.
