There's one thing that never seems to change in this world: reading rooms in big libraries.

The reading room library at Mizzou is exactly the same as it was when I was there 20 years ago. It's the same in the KC Public Library.

It's a small thing, but I love it. These old-ass rooms.

A common problem of the contemporary #liberal #left is not claiming the values of discipline, commitment and militancy back from the right.

Allowing the right to claim ownership of those values while doubling down on values like safety leads to giving up the tools to achieve it in the first place.

Those safe spaces won’t police themselves. They need tough & muscular nonbinaries and allies standing by, ready to punch any nazis coming in to disrupt them.

The narrative needs to #change.

2/2 BTW, before writing that, I searched here for other links, found only old reports and *nagging pure*. Yes, I could sell you the report for the disaster risk, the possible tipping points. I could moan about the horrible world situation.
But the report is indeed an instrument to start #change. If you want to change or #resist, you must analyse the dangers. But you need a #vision, a #goal you want wo engage for!
For me, a great example for #narratives. We don't get change by nagging but acting!

The #UN University published their #InterconnectedRisks Report: It's a theory about how we can #change our world for sustainable living (and why it is possible): interconnectedrisks.org/

When I had the idea for my podcast about #ReconnectingWithNature, a lot of people laughed at it. Now I find this #mindshift again and even some #solarpunk ideas like #care, #humility, #sufficiency interconnectedrisks.org/2025/t Well, let's start to work on a better world, and fight this minority of destroyers! 1/2

I saw this book on another post - and so went and found a copy at a 2nd hand book shop…
Looking forward to lunches at work with a cup of tea and maybe a couple of rainy Sundays at home…

In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
