Air pollution Air pollution from burning fossil fuels kills 8.7 million people each year. We homed in on over 9,500 point-sources located in urban areas that expose a disproportionate number of people to PM2.5

In case you're curious who's polluting the air in Baltimore, or wherever you live, and where it's going, here's a real time plume simulation map climatetrace.org/air-pollution

A rickety wooden gate has one large plastic googly eye. The other eye is lying on the ground on grass and dead leaves. Green trees in the background to the left, a white house in the background to the right.

I normally don't post pictures of my child on the Internet but he just looked so cute sipping from that little juice box

Freaks And (Child) Prodigies: Historicising Cuteness […] As a strategy for managing the radical Otherness of the child, cuteness is […] intimately bound up with the history of the β€˜freak’. There are obvious parallels between child and freak: both are liminal figures, residing on the boundaries that separate the β€˜fully human’ from the β€˜less-than-human’. 4 That β€˜cute’ child and β€˜freak’ are reciprocally defined is supremely evident in the film E.T., which constructs an identification between child and freak (only the children can communicate with E.T.) in order to position the freakish extraterrestrial as a (cute) monster to be adopted. The monstrosity of the β€˜alien’ E.T. does not diminish but rather intensifies his cuteness – in part because his desire for β€˜home’ (as well as his docility) renders him sentimentally recuperable, available to assimilation within normative domestic and affectional structures.
