How do we build power in the current polycrisis while autocracy is growing and efforts to limit the climate crisis have failed? I reflect on where we are and where we need to go (and how the world has changed since I delivered my TED Talk 2 years ago this week) danarfisher.com/2026/10/25/b...

Währenddessen die hinterhof Eichhörnchen: pffff selbst stampfen. Wir haben eine Postadresse. Foodora, suckers!!

Typische parkeichhörnchen über hinterhofeichhörnchen zitate „Schon traurig wie die ihre vorräte da zu zwölft auf drei gärten aufteilen müssen“ „wenn die wüssten wie gut man erdnussbutter selbst stampfen kann“ „Die kennen das ja gar nicht mehr anders“

YES! Every two years this bullshit discussion. And the only appropriate answer is "ok boomer" and letting them steep until they stop being so goddamn ignorant!

The men who think women don't write good books are not going to be convinced by examples of women who write good books. They never are. This cycle is so exhausting.

This...this.. YOU DO NOT put a value on human life! Not children. Not old people. Noone!

Sadly, no manly man literature exists. None at all. Imagine, you could have genres like "military scifi" but alas. No books are written by men.

Eagle-eyed readers might note the almost total lack of hyperlinked evidence for this paragraph's many sweeping generalizations. Among them, that young readers want TOUGH GUY cultural objects that are cruelly being denied them by all these meddlesome women, when, in fact...

Worrye not about 'being productive,' for thou art not a product. Thou art a star daunsinge yn a hopeful skye. A signal blinking across centuryes and worldes. Thou art a song performid just once and perfectlye. Ther ys no part of thee that evir koude be wrong.

Achja. Science fiction bokhandeln, aka "überweist mein Gehalt einfach direkt dahin"

Als ich in Stockholm war, musste ich natürlich auch den tollen Science-Fiction-Buchladen auf der Insel Gamla Stan besuchen, der auf mehreren Stockwerken ein starkes Angebot aufweist. Mein Text: enpunkt.blogspot.com/2026/09/star... #stockholm #buchsky #sciencefiction

"ich finde, du bist kein vollwertiger Mensch. Wie du willst mich nicht mehr Daten? Wie intolerant von dir!" Ist auch sowas, was du eigentlich keinem erklären kannst.

Katharina Nocun@kattascha.bsky.social

Hm, ich weiß, es ist ein beliebter Take von US-Rechten, liberalen Frauen Intoleranz vorzuwerfen, weil sie seltener rechte Männer daten wollen. Ergo tragen sie Schuld an männl. Einsamkeit & Radikalisierung, usw. Aber müssen wir wirklich jeden Quatsch hierzulande kopieren? Es langweilt mich. 🙄

Es ist noch immer #SciFiSeptember, aber wir nutzen diesen auch, um in den Oktober zu schauen, denn am 2. 10. ist der Tag der Phileas Fogg-Wette. An diesem Tag bricht Fogg in Jules Vernes “In 80 Tagen um die Welt” auf, um zu beweisen, dass die titelgebende Reise möglich ist. /1

I have honest to god never thought "if you are a feminist, trans people are the enemy". The only thing i wondered some years ago was if trans men are being kicked out of Feminism Club when they transition.... ...To which the reply of course is "fuck no? Dont be ridiculous"

Not In Our Name (NION) Women@nionwomen.bsky.social

Feminism doesn't require women to see trans+ people as the enemy. For many of us, feminism has always meant challenging inequality, standing alongside people whose rights are under threat, and refusing to accept that one group's equality must come at another's expense. That's our feminism too.

I love that this article about cellulite was labeled "adult content". I mean, yes, cellulite is a problem that concerns adults 🤗

Geographer love

Helen Czerski@helenczerski.bsky.social

I LOVE this globe, which I found in the GEOMAR lobby (a German ocean research institute) this week. Exaggerated topography of both land and sea, showing the big picture and the beautiful intricacy. I want one!

Ich kapier einfach nicht, wie die ai bros damit davonkommen! Stellt euch mal vor, der Vorstand von Vw würde sagen dass größte Problem mit Autos ist das sie sich in Transformers verwandeln!?

Paul Bernal@paulbernal.bsky.social

Step one: stoke the (wrong) fear Step two: tell the world they can deal with the (wrong) fear. All the while avoiding talking about the real problems with AI

Tech support tip 4314: if you pick up an older ticket, check first if the bug is still there at all. "I finally solved your problem!" "What problem? oh, this, we found the solution two weeks ago"

Das war definitiv einer MEINER Vorfahren. Ich verliere auch alles.

Verrückter Fakt des Tages: #vfdt Dass Wirbeltiere genau zwei Augen haben scheint ein extrem stabiles Muster zu sein - von Quastenflossern bis zu modernen Menschen. Aber die ersten Wirbeltiere dürften vier Augen gehabt haben. Unsere Vorfahren haben im Lauf der Zeit 2 davon verloren.

This black dragonfish (Idiacanthus sp.) was spotted at 527 meters (1,729 feet) in Monterey Bay. Black dragonfish are built for life in the darkness of the deep ocean. Their ultra-black skin helps them stay camouflaged from prey like fishes and crustaceans. 🐉🖤⁠

Also has the most adork-able scholar, Friends with an ancient feud, gnoles, and BACON. Go read daggerbound!

Freifahrtsschein für Steile Karriere? Ja klar. Früher war ich nichts. Heute bin ich General.... General Anxiety Disorder. Das ist übrigens in etwa das Level von Expertise, auf dem dieser ganze Artikel geschrieben wurde.
