Spaceship Earth: the Shape of our Planet!
Or "Can't We Just Stop Destroying Things?" I just watched Spaceship Earth, which is the story of the Biosphere2 project outside of Tucson, Arizona. I remember touring Biosphere2 with my youngest, a science buff, while visiting my dad in the 2000s. (I miss…
A new eye for Frankenstein.
It sure is intimidating to review Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus by Mary Percy Shelley. What could I possibly add to what has already been written? So let's get this out of the way: 5 STARS! Now onto more interesting things: as I reread the book for the third…
Sundiver by David Brin: the ‘eponymous’ review
The beginning of it all... literarily speaking.
The worst Avatar ever: deceit and greed.
What in the world is going on, you ask? The con.
I must admit my brand of Solarpunk is a kind of Cozy Fantasy! 🤣
I would love to see a Solarpunk-Horror mash up... although that could be too realistic in this current timeline.
The human suffering, government shutdown, and economic situation is terrible. Sad.
However I think it's better that this happen all at once. Trump was always going to do this. By eeking it out slowly and then lying about the cause of the decline. Everyone can see now that it is ALL TRUMPS DOING.
What is uplifting? A spark. An idea. A connection.
What do I mean by "The Uplift Blog"? My original idea for this blog was to look at Uplift in Science Fiction, the name being formalized in the Uplift series by David Brin. A book review blogger. I guess in a way the novel I am writing is in the…
Did he start to change his perspective? 🤞
So many amazing replies to your comment have similar stories. I feel a little sad. I hope some of them were able to open their eyes...
This is NOT a spoiler free blog!
If I am reviewing a book, it is because I finished it. If I finished it, I liked it. I am fickle like that.
Such an amazing achievement! 👏
So true. It's like a patchwork. Some places are farther along, some are going backwards.
So many visionaries of the past never saw the world they were struggling for...

Now and Forever Windows by Kerry James Marshall
National Cathedral
It's like peeking into their souls!
Am I the only one who just loves to see what books are in these little library boxes?
I am feeling kind of conflicted. Sometimes I feel like it is my circus and other times not so much.
Forget "One does not simply..."
Frodo was right. Boromir was not.

Something to note as DJT makes a kerfuffle by cutting off all grants: The problem with the federal budget is the minuscule tax that the Uber wealthy pay... Not the fact that we give lunches in school to poor children.
Just remembering Former President Jimmy Carter with respect. And posting this article from 2023 showing the evidence that Ronald Reagan's team worked with the Iranians to prevent the hostage's release before the 1980 election.

Yes. It was tongue in cheek, or maybe blind-hopefulness (if you give the benefit of the doubt).
Is this analogy too raw? It struck a chord for me...
How many decades did we know that she was ill? Tell her it must be 'that time of month'? Ignore and deny. Is she septic? Can she be healed?

I am new to climate policy and attended CCL's Virtual event today. They are pushing for EPRA this week. It sounded good. am not informed enough to make a judgment.
To a Q abt of oil drilling, a speaker said companies made record amounts of money in 2024. "They surely won't need to make even more."
I think I saw the same clouds.
Wow. That's direct.
One thing man has always done.
Grift.
Just as guaranteed as death and taxes.
