"This is terrible for the environment so I started looking for solutions. By the end of 2019, I heard of an old yarn factory up for sale. What if we could make yarn from waste clothing? After much experimenting, we worked out how to sort the clothing, cut and shred it, and make it into yarn."

Nasza potrzeba i zdolność opowiadania historii jest tak stara, jak nasze starożytne początki. Od paleolitycznych malowideł jaskiniowych w Lascaux po nasze blogi w Internecie, ludzkość pozostawiła po sobie wielkie dziedzictwo dzielenia się historiami. Zapewniając kontekst dla wiedzy, historia skłania nas do troski, pielęgnowania i, z kolei, do działania. To, co cenimy, chronimy. To naprawdę takie proste. Eco-fiction - niezależnie od tego, czy opowiedziana jako dystopia, postapokalipsa, opowieść ostrzegawcza czy solarpunk - może pomóc nam współtworzyć nową narrację o tym, w jaki sposób Ziemia daje nam życie i jak możemy dać coś w zamian. Czas zacząć dawać. To zaczyna się od opowieści.

"po co nam dziś filozoficzny traktat o wymieraniu jednego z plemion rdzennych Amerykanów na terenie Stanów Zjednoczonych?"
W książce "Nadzieja radykalna. Etyka w obliczu spustoszenia kulturowego” Jonathan Lear opowiada historię plemienia Wron"
Czy historia tego plemienia daje nam siłę i nadzieję w obliczu naszej rzeczywistości?
J. Lear proponuje pokładanie nadziei w sile poezji i literatury pięknej, które potrafią przenosić nas mocą wyobraźni do nieistniejących światów i póżniej - wzorem Wron - zmieniajmy nasz świat w najlepsze możliwe miejsce.

Hi fellow book nerds! I'm trying to put together a Utopian Book Club (focused on novels and novellas). I want to include LeGuin's The Dispossessed and @pluralistic 's Walkaway, but from there I've got an endless list of mostly white dudes.

What cool utopian fiction by BIPOC writers have I missed out on?

#EuTopia ruft zur Gründung eines interdisziplinären #Arbeitskreis​es #Demokratie. Mehr davon in meinem Impulsreferat am 1. April (kein Scherz!): https://bosolei.com/2023/03/03/eutopia-ruft

#TB This came back to my mind...
I found 2021 so much more optimistic that 2022. I had so much faith in #Change...

This was the soundtrack for me:

'Massive Attack’s #Eutopia addresses our need for a radical global change'

Quelqu'un•e ici a lu #Eutopia de Camille Le Boulanger (éd Argyll) ?

Un pote a commencé à le lire mais hésite à continuer et cherche des avis, il était notamment perplexe sur le fait que la société présentée relevait de l'utopie. Il avait l'impression de lire plutôt une dystopie comme dans Divergente ou Hunger Games (avec un héros adolescent élevé dans une dystopie qui s'en rend compte et va combattre le système)

I gave a short presentation today on reproducibility during the VUB Ethics week. The slides are available on: https://github.com/timvantilborgh/VUB-ethics-week/

I #bike because I'm lazy. But that's a bad, terrible thing, so I couldn't admit that to myself for the first 20+ years of my riding career. I'd get asked all the time why I ride, and I'd use the usual lines about #climate, expense, #traffic... But the heart and soul of the matter is I get bored easily, and #fuckcars, and if most of my life can be shrunk down to #bikeable radius, well... I'm gonna do that.

This is culturally, not a virtue, and in this "virtuous" capitalist world we buy things that try to appeal to our vision of our best possible selves. Bicycles are fitness tools, recreational instruments, athletic, sporty, competetive. Are you fast? Great. Are you a human ATV? Terrific. Do you just... want to not have to spend a lot of time, money, and effort on getting through your day? Do you not want to have to work all the goddamn time just to afford to maintain and fuel a massive metal box that you are, for some reason, obsessed with keeping in good cosmetic condition all the time? No? And also you just want to not spend all that time walking three blocks to the hardware store because you need a lightbulb? "We're not sure we want our brand associated with that."

I bought in hard to the idea that a bike should signal something vital, so I rode a gravel bike for a while. Did I ever ride gravel? No. Did I enjoy being in the drops? No. Did I bike faster than I needed to and feel more competitive than was strictly rational for commuting and running errands? Yes. Did I like it? Maybe sometimes, but I'll be honest, there were a lot of moments where the thought of getting into the tuck and riding at a speed that made sense in that position exhausted me so much that I would just not take the bike out. I'd cancel plans. I'd postpone errands. It was a bummer. But then Covid hit, and I got fat, and I could barely breath while in the drops, so I sold the bike. I then immediately turned around and bought a cheap 90s era mountain bike and started building it up to be as soft and easy to ride as possible. My only criteria for parts and accessories were, will this make biking easier and more comfortable? But the biggest game changer was the basket. The thing that used to slow me down the most was just cargo logistics. How was I gonna carry things? Did I want to deal with a backpack? Individually packing and balancing panniers? If I went somewhere and I suddenly acquired cargo, what would I do? Now I just drop things in the basket. I don't have to think about it. It's dorky, and I'm slow, but goddamn it, I get to be so much lazier now.

Almost all of us here right now are trying to build a better world, but sometimes the best thing you can do for that future #eutopia (thanks @notspookypip for the etymology lesson) is make the decisions that make your world today and now kinder and more manageable for yourself and your community. You and I are likely never going to be our "best" selves physically, mentally, emotionally... we have to work with who we are now, not who we hope we might be. Use that wagon, ride that tricycle, whatever makes you feel comfortable, because a comfortable world for humans is usually a #walkable, bikeable, and #sustainable world.

Planning for research data management: the basics

This introductory session will introduce fundamental concepts in research data management such as the research data lifecycle, explain what is expected in data management plans (DMPs), and present recommendations how to select a repository.

"Die Katastrophe enthüllt, wie anders die Welt sein könnte - enthüllt die Stärke dieser Hoffnungen, dieses Großmuts und dieser Solidarität. Sie enthüllt gegenseitige Hilfe als ein vorhandenes Organisationsprinzip und die Zivilgesellschaft als etwas, das hinter den Kulissen auf seinen Auftritt wartet."
