This is such an achingly dystopian real world parable and censure of much ill-begotten power and prerogative. Excellent and essential read, if you dareβ¦

How would you characterize intimacy? Could it manifest in other forms of connection or self-actualizing, like craft, study, service, βpraxisβ etc?

Superbβand *very* unsettlingβroundup from @weatherwest.bsky.social. The imminent SW heat wave (likely the most intense for March on record) will involve similar dynamics to the June 2021 scorcher in the PacNW.
