Found these at two different railway stations a week ago. It's a nice coincidence that @stevenlawson just announced his exciting new project #TheArtOfDecay. Seems he's not really happy with the name but I think it's great. 'Art' takes away the negaive connotation of 'decay'.
Have a pleasant weekend.
#20books20days 20/20
20 books that have had an impact on who you are. One book a day for 20 days. No explanations, no reviews, just book covers (don't forget the alt text).
New studies, which utilized AI to monitor the effects of climate change on Earth's spin, have shown that our days are getting increasingly longer and that our planet will get more wobbly in the future.

Approx 4000 people have donated approx $80+ each to the Harris campaign, here on Mastodon, and yet we've all got mates on here who can't pay their fucking rent or utilities or medical or grocery bills or whatever.
Priorities: fucked.
I've checked my maths like 4 times. Not because I don't trust myself to do the maths properly, but because my brain can't square that, actually, so few people donating a relatively small amount over so few days have added up to that amount AND YET my mates have to ask for help with their rent every month AND DON'T GET THAT HELP!
Like, if those same 4,000 people gave $20 each next month, to genuine mutual aid requests on here, imagine the impact? On actual people's lives?
Sorry, I'm having a rant, but fuck me, I'm genuinely livid about this.

Headlines from a Warming World no:16The Climate Historian
Its always interesting how people conflate mutual aid with some form of benefits system, or hand wave it away by saying "What am I supposed to do, help everyone?".
When I was first getting into helping out in local mutual aid drives, this other volunteer told me: "You don't have to help everyone all of the time. Everyone just has to help some people, some of the time." and honestly its how I still go about it today.
Am I exceptionally wealthy? Nope, far from it. Am I terribly poor? Also no. I usually have some spare change at the end of the month that would do more in someone elses pocket. I can only hope that it makes a difference.
"We measured #methane exchange on hundreds of tree stems in forests along a climate gradient spanning the Amazon and Panama, through to Sweden and the UK.
In total, our cautious first estimate is that trees take up between about 25 and 50 million tonnes of atmospheric methane each year, with most taken up by tropical forests."
A large-scale study proves that trees absorb methane through their bark, with climate benefits at a global scale.The Conversation
Suppose trees capture 50 million tonnes of methane per year.
Since methane is 84 times more potent as a greenhouse gas than CO2 (on a 20-year time scale) that would be the equivalent of 4 gigatonnes of CO2-e, or 10% of the world's human carbon emissions.
And remember that forests also soak up 15 Gtonnes of CO2 every year.
Trees are cool!
A sneeze, an orgasm, a sigh, and a yawn — what do they have in common? 🤔
All of them are, apparently, the result of the same physiological mechanism, a buildup of tension that concludes in a satisfying release. 😊
Scientists have not yet identified exactly what that mechanism might be, however. It remains an intriguing mystery. 🧐
A sneeze, an orgasm, a sigh, a yawn… ahh, that felt good. 😌
@DevraWiz Do you ever have this experience?
Feeling the need to take a deep breath, trying to do so, but not being satisfied because the breath doesn't move in quite deep enough... so you try again, maybe two or three times... until finally you reach a peak and slide down the other side... ahh, so satisfying.
That's the kind of sigh we're talking about.
