Can climate fiction deliver climate justice? Although cli-fi has exploded in popularity, few of its writers treat climate justice as a central issue. But when they do, their words may have more power than even they could imagine grist.org/fix/climate-... #ClimateFiction #Fiction #Solarpunk #Books

The official Courtier art went through many changes before being finalized. She started off as a human and ended up rounding out the archetype roster representing the Psiren ancestry!

How can jellyfish sting without ever touching you? 🪼🧪 After 500 million years of peaceful drifting, moon jellyfish, usually harmless, have taken an unsettling turn. Off the U.S. coast, swimmers are being stung, sometimes just by mucus in the water. #Jellyfish #Ocean #MarineBiology #Science

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.
