Just finished "Thief of the Heights" written by Son M. and illustrated by Robin Yao. It's a very cool graphic novel about the illusions of meritocracy and loyalty to one's roots, with an interesting setting and better politics than most stuff out there, even if the plotting is a little rough and perhaps a bit too straightforward. The neat ending and reliance on heroism are themes I don't love in these kinds of tales, but I'm grateful for more stories in this category to exist in the first place, so I can't complain too much.
It's got disability, queer, and POC representation and some of that is #OwnVoices, which is cool, although those dimensions of the work aren't its focus.

Tech leaders embracing Trump for short-term gain may ultimately imperil their companies and is counter to Silicon Valley's idealistic roots (Steven Levy/Wired)
https://www.wired.com/story/silicon-valley-politics-shift/

I Thought I Knew Silicon Valley. I Was Wrong
Tech got what it wanted by electing Trump. A year later, it looks more like a suicide pact.

Just thought about this hike that I did quite a while a go. I saw this tree standing aside the trail and I tried if it would make a good photo.
And actually I planned to go back there - which I still didn't!
Anyways. Just wanted to share it with you 🙂

Government gestures leave roots of Indonesia protests intact
Experts say little has been done to address the economic inequality fueling the unrest, leaving deep resentment to linger and flare up again.

It’s Getting Easier.
As some might know, I’m a big fan of riding a bike. It’s in my blood. Born and raised in Belgium where cycling is the national sport—well, maybe after football, which isn’t a sport, it’s a mafia cover-up. My uncle and grandfather are both fanatic cyclists, and with our Italian roots, the circle is complete.
But since I live in Central Europe, where the roads never recovered from communism and have more holes than a Dutch cheese factory, I find it hard to cycle …

Global forests store vast carbon wealth but credit systems undervalue their true potential, study finds
When we walk into a forest, we often think less about the shade or the silence and more about the invisible work trees do—pulling carbon dioxide out of the air and storing it in their trunks, roots and soils. Forests are our oldest, most reliable carbon banks. Yet, when we dove into the data, we realized something unsettling: The financial systems designed to reward forests for this service often undervalue them.
