'Pfade und Wege' / 'paths and ways' (? Or trails 🤔) #FotoVorschlag
Yes, that's a topic for me again 😉
This is from a trail that I did a couple of times already in different seasons. And this sections just offers such a cool view to the south.
The trail itself varies quite a bit in all terms - which I totally like. Well - enjoy!
Been a week now since the break-up, slowly managed to go from "should not be left alone for too long" to being able to spend the day on my own to now having my first evening at my desk again.
Mind is still trying to play tricks on me, which makes morning especially rough.
At least got something to look forward to (my first shifts on the CE), so that helps.

If you are an anti-fascist, you are against petroleum. Petroleum funds fascism globally. It is at the heart of the military industrial complex driving global imperialism, from both the US and Russia. Motonormitivity is fascist, both in it's elitist roots and in it's ties to historical fascism (Hitler hated bikes, just on principle). Oil is militarism.
Oil is the dominant resource which drives war, both in terms of it being the primary spoil wars are fought over and in terms of fueling the military vehicles and weapons that carry out those wars. Practically every war since (and including) WWII has been over oil. Genocides are carried out to secure oil. Gaza is over oil, in more ways than one.
Oil is the absolute enemy, and AI is simply an extension of that: an attempt to atomize us so we can't resist the oil-centric global order, one last grasp at the control over our lives oil has given to those whose power is now threatened by a solar punk future.
"I haven't written for a few weeks now. As I write the closing chapter and begin rewriting previous sections, everything feels both more distant and more immediate. The working title [Kairos] has only continued to feel more and more resonant, both during the writing and during my pause."
Now is the time to resist by making something different, by creating a world fundamentally opposed to these systems of oppression.
This is the last in my Kairos series. From here on out I'll be editing to try and make it more of a book than a series of posts. Thanks to everyone who has helped so far. All editing is welcome (typos, spell checks, questions and challenges). Between ADHD and dyslexia, it's always hard for my brain to notice mistakes in my own text so I always appreciate the support of those who can.

Just finished "Kirby's Lessons for Falling (In Love)" by Laura Gao. I'd previously read her autobiographical graphic novel "Messy Roots" which was excellent, and this book continues that trend. Yet another complicated look at a Chinese-American immigrant experience, wrapped into a queer romance with a dose of spirituality in there as well. I think the background metaphor of falling is really strong, and gets used in so many senses it's beautiful.

My contribution to #footpathFriday !
This was a really nice walk. Just as I like it: small paths along a nice mountain.
But I also remember that it was the time I was suffering from something called "frozen shoulder". It was a bit of a challenge to take off /on the backpack. As a wrong movement cause some REAL pain.
But this is over as well and I just try to rec…
Oh oh, I haven't done anything here for a really long time—but health comes first.
And to make matters worse, I lost a very, very good friend more than a week ago, who was taken by the damn MRSA germ... Rest in peace, my friend, you will never be forgotten! 😢
But during my own convalescence, I had enough time to return to my roots with Linux and switch my systems back to the tried and tested, beloved, and familiar. And I'm now leaving the time of experiments and trials …

This week: MIT cuts carbon capture energy costs, transparent window insulation slashes building heating use, and battery prices drop enough to make solar-plus-storage competitive at $65/MWh.
In South Australia, a 200 MW battery will help stabilize the grid for more renewables. Progress is happening now.

Communities in the DRC are building something remarkable: a 1-million-hectare biodiversity corridor connecting two major protected areas.
Strong Roots Congo has already secured 23 community forest concessions covering nearly 600,000 hectares. The project does double duty—allowing wildlife to move safely between habitats while supporting local livelihoods and protecting Indigenous peoples from land grabbing.

In Asia's Sundarbans, women are becoming the guardians of the world's largest mangrove forest—and it's changing everything.
Through self-help groups, local women are planting mangrove saplings along degraded coastlines, protecting their communities from cyclones and rising seas while earning income.
It's climate action that actually works for the people who need it most.
