searching for the correct term for the kind of tea i bought, i discovered that some people apparently make far finer distinctions than just "bulk" or "bagged"
My webinator surfboard found this delightful video documentary (and it's a big project) from Australia, courtesy of @cogdog Big Stories from Small Towns.
Uplifting. Fascinating. For those of us from far, far away, an illuminating view.

(I'd show you a pic of what it looks like but things are kind of slow here.)
I am helping teachers to be capable of teaching nuance to primary and secondary students, because it's a part of digital safety. Key to this is recognising when overly broad statements are being made, and to not automatically accept things as true without checking reliable sources. This article is a brilliant example of teaching nuance (to adults, but good to get the teachers thinking)!
How green are our laptops compared to paper?
Is digital more environmentally friendly than paper?
“Go paperless, save trees”. Is that really the case? According to this popular motto, documents in digital versions are environmentally sounder than their old-school, paper counterparts.Zuza Nazaruk (Except Integrated Sustainability B.V.)

#Introduction to "1-paper-a-day 2022"
After countless conversations that I read too little, I decided to read 1 paper on every workday of 2022 and point to them on SocMedia.
Papers are in the general area of #cognitive + #sensorimotor #neuroscience, including meta-stuff such as #OpenScience.
List of papers so far with links to tweets - toots from now on…

On the topic of writing and Irish-ness, here is a short story that explains, among other things, the origins of that rumor about there being no snakes in Ireland, and why the Land of the Young became separated from ours.
It was an afterword to my first manuscript but it got bumped for word count reasons. See if you can guess who the narrator really is.

If you're interested in working with #GodotEngine and you might need more than one version installed at one time, I highly recommend Hourglass, which is a custom launcher with a version installer/manager built it. You get all your projects in one place, with versions managed as well. You can also have custom version installs if needed.
I set it up in my menu editor so I can launch it from my launcher (Linux), which is really convenient!

We should not be optimising Mastodon so it can handle more people per server. We should be optimising Mastodon so it incentivises more serves with fewer people.
(And if you take that line of thinking to its logical conclusion, you arrive at the idea behind the Small Web: ar.al/2020/08/07/what-is-the-s…)

What is the Small Web?
Today, I want to introduce you to a concept – and a vision for the future of our species in the digital and networked age – that I’ve spoken about for a while but never specifically written about: The Small Web.Aral Balkan
Food for thought: The bigger mastodon.social gets, the less successful the #fediverse is.
Sadly, the fundamental design of Mastodon mirrors the design of Big Tech (a server architecture that can support hundreds of thousands of “users”) and thus inherits its success criteria.
I feel it’s time we at least started thinking about what the web would look like if we all had our own place on it and what it would take to get there from here.
