Once upon a time, there was an underground female outlaw pamphlet about how to use guns to protect yourself and other women — a practical little manual. I re-read it after 50 years . . . susiebright.ink/publish/post...

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

“While it’s obvious to energy researchers, I don’t think the public grasps the scale of the change in California.” This a great run down of what’s happening in CA, a large,complex state. There are always complaints, but the article does a good job of detailing many shifts together.

It’s such a solarpunk dream (complimentary) that we could rewild things to the point where there are large migratory herds of bison again in N. America. Need to get some retro-futuristic style art with netive megafauna grazing under a wind farm.

So, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people. londondaily.com/banksy-funds...
