Stronger together: What we've accomplished since the Tails-Tor merger

Nine months ago @tails and @torproject set out to unite forces for Internet Freedom. The goal was to integrate Tails into the organizational structure of the Tor Project to pool resources instead of duplicating them, and deliver a more robust shield against censorship and surveillance. Today we're happy to report that we're already seeing the transformative impact of our united efforts.

The first day of summer (of the meteorological kind).


Next week I return to the Kielderhead Wildwood, where I worked as an artist five years ago.

The wildwood is a large area at the Scottish-English border where 39,000 native trees were planted by the local community from 2017-2022, to make a future landscape where there once was once commercial forestry. I made work about the interconnections between humans, trees, fungi and technologies.

Trees that were up to my waist back in 2020 have grown taller than me. shanefinan.org/VAP/10_woodwideโ€ฆ #art #forest

It makes me think of a Diana Beresford Kroeger interview where she was asked whether we can do things that are quicker than tree planting to help the environment. She answered passionately and rapidly (I paraphrase): trees grow quickly. Just don't talk about it โ€” put them in the ground and they'll grow.

I just discovered the superb powrss.com by @enocc - a site that aims to "make it easier to discover independent sites."

And thanks to it, I found this inspiring blog post by @sylvia: "Do Nothing" sylvia.studio/do-nothing/

Aw the magic of the internet (as it was originally intended) โœจ

Wishing everyone a lovely Sunday! And fascinating, serendipitous discoveries on powrss.com ๐Ÿ˜Š

Grace is delighted to see the vet


"Grace the barking owl clearly isnโ€™t a fan of visiting the doctor! ๐Ÿฆ‰ she was found sitting in a driveway, and was brought to us at the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. The vets discovered she had a fractured wing, and she went straight into surgery. She may look grumpy, but weโ€™re sure sheโ€™s gratefulโ€ฆ deep down! ๐Ÿ’š"

the spider is hogging the light because insects are attracted to it at night. This is a result of light pollution. Ad screens for example regularly have spiders building nets on them.

I'm up next for @fpg's Future Proof Plays stream! Today at 15:00 Eastern (in about 4 hours), I'll be playing Muse Game's #Wildmender. It looks like a cute desert farming game with some survival stuff, and I'm very interested to see what the balance on that is (i.e., how stressful it is ๐Ÿ˜…).

Walt Whitman was born OTD in 1819. Song of Myself is a singularly Darwinian poem. The re-placing of natural theological tropes in a thoroughly naturalistic setting is characteristic of both. ๐Ÿงช๐Ÿฆซ๐Ÿฆ‹๐Ÿ‹๐ŸŒฑ#HistSTM #BookSky


๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒฑ Did you know woody plants can reshape soil health in #drylands? A study by Martha Mary Farella, David D.

"The Executive Order does not provide any standards for non-scientific information. As a consequence, this Executive Order is positioning policymaking to ignore scientific evidence by holding it to unachievable standards, and to use ideology and non-scientific information by holding it to no standards at all."

anti-trans stuff, restrooms

The last three paragraphs of this article are very important.

As I write this, I am in a hotel bed, in the middle of the country, on day two of a 1200 mile move from a "do not travel" state to a "blue state" (on Erin's map).

Existing (openly) as anything other than cis-gender in so much of America is too big of a threat to personal safety.

I just hope that the safety that "blue" states provide doesn't collapse on us.



Xiaoma in this video tries to communicate with Bonobo apes using their language. I was surprised that the researcher was interested he wasn't just wanting an ape to speak in a human or human contrived language. I would always start with speaking in their language. How better to bridge the communication gap?

This vlogger does interesting videos about languages. Human languages. He's a lot of fun! And recently he decided he was going to try learning the language of dolphins and speak with them. This is the sweetest video!
