New research suggests that as income inequality increases, so do national and individual work hours. Reducing both actual and perceived income inequality may help curb excessive work hours and promote a healthier work–life balance. Read more in #SPPS: ow.ly/2VhQ50XonNb

What is the origin & evidence for the idea that if one country does not export fossil fuels, demand will be met by another? What is the incentive, then, for a country to reduce exports & what is this unique feature of international markets? How come the argument isn't made for domestic supplies?

Hats off to @foodandwater.bsky.social for continuing this fight. Many people in the enviro / climate world want to do the big thing that "changes everything," but few have the grit and tenacity for the inch-by-inch trench warfare of resisting individual projects. Please give them a follow.

Every inch of the Earth is worth fighting for. Every species, every hill, every system, that patch of grass out by the road.

I wish you could smell social media posts because fall is the best time for my favourite perfume: Coven,by Andrea Maack. It smells like walking in the woods, river water rustling on wet rocks and finding a cozy cabin with garland of cloves hanging, plant bundles drying. Addicted to this scent.

Just took this workshop. I learned a lot and feel very inspired. One question was "What environments or times of day feel most natural to me? Why? How do I know?" I think there'll be a few #haiku coming out of this ...

This, in 2028. Fossil Fuel Lobbyists and petro states have over the years taken over climate summits.

#twsochat a9. Of course. Everything is on the table. #writingcommunity

#twsochat A8. Once I participated in a writing group event that was recorded and broadcast. I asked to be excluded because that would be considered published. The facilitator thought me self aggrandizing. We never really patched it up. #writingcommunity

#TWSOchat A5. A question that's nagging me right now - as a writer with an energy limiting disability who loves to have a gazillion projects on the go, how do I manage my time and energy the best, esp. when one project needs sustained attention? #writingcommunity #invisibleillness #LongCovid

#TWSOchat A4. I think it's indispensable to be part of a group, and, actually, more than one. I am part of a critique group (thank you, @julieartz.bsky.social), a writing discussion group, a prompt writing group, and enjoy participating in online events such as #wipsnips here. #writingcommunity.

#TWSOchat A3. Having been part of writing groups for at least 15 years, there are a lot of answers. I wrote about it here www.literaryheist.com/articles/doe...

#TWSOchat A2. Discussions with other writers help absolutely. E.g. a conversation with other writers this week helped me realize that the novel I'm currently revising is a braided novel. Constructive criticism is indispensable. I am too close to my own work to see everything. #writingcommunity

Good morning and welcome to the November 2025 #TWSOchat! Today we are going to discuss Discussions with Other Writers w/TWS mentors & alum #amwriting #writing #literary #writerslift #WritingCommunity This chat is open to all #writers on Bluesky

Gratitude, Disability, and the Will to Keep GoingWriting became my therapy—proof that gratitude can exist even in struggle. Here’s how I learned to keep going.https://theroadtomentalwellness.wordpress.com/2025/07/25/gratitude-writing-mental-health-disability/#Resilience #Gratitude

ICE used Olivia Rodrigo's song as a background of a video advocated for self-deportation for undocumented immigrants. "Don’t ever use my songs to promote your racist, hateful propaganda." To which the admin threatened her and demanded she thank ICE. www.themirror.com/entertainmen...

I must’ve been a postdoc at MIT or a new-ish engineering professor when I first heard the story of how Ben Barre overheard colleagues talking about how his research was so much better than his ‘sister’ Barbara’s.

It’s no big surprise that ICE is not returning jewelry, phones, and documents taken from citizens and undocumented immigrants. They have no system to store it, and ICE are criminals. Protesters and anyone with a tan, leave your valuables at home! #Pinks #Resist #FuckICE youtu.be/LE5NE8MlZBI?...

ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant” He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

“Every participant who was detained by authorities & had biometrics enabled, said they were violently forced to unlock their phone. […]” The research is clear: those with biometrics lost the power to resist device searches. Only using passcodes had some ability to refuse, delay, or obscure access.
