Going off the headline alone makes me think of when the idea of putting cosmetic patches on things felt cool. Personally I still think it’s cool, maybe others do too, I dunno.

Anyway, repairing things is cool whether it’s electronic or cloth!

This reminds me that I should look more into how much one owns an online space anyway. Any time stuff like this comes up it occurs to me as I remember reading about site owners getting into disputes with hosting companies like GoDaddy, or sometimes domain registrars.

Anyway, if you’re overly online, spinning up your own online space is definitely better than being dependent on far more fickle corporate platforms, so well worth considering.

The balcony lives!

I hope more resources are put toward restoring and preserving their environments so they don’t go extinct. Fascinating as hell creatures, and who knows if there’s anything else like them out there.

Other quotes I found compelling from the article were these:

Ultimately, a personal action versus political action binary is unhelpful. The environmental movement needs to sustain a way to do both: agitate and organize for systemic change while also still encouraging individual behavior changes.

Which is to say that personal action and collective, political action are self-reinforcing. Individual lifestyle changes can act as a kind of alloy that strengthens political activism. To do the difficult work of walking more lightly on the planet is to bind commitment to conviction.

Thanks for this! I think I may have come across it at some point but never bookmarked it for whatever reason, corrected that now!

Surprised nobody’s mentioned Weightless ebooks or Smashwords yet. You didn’t mention region, so I can’t assure these will work for you, but worth checking out regardless to see if they may.
