Les privilégiés qui avez un jardin, racontez-moi tout ce que vous avez fait ces dernières années pour le rendre plus résilient et plus robuste 🤩

Je crois que moi c'est l'action (ou le plan d'action) qui m'aide à aller mieux, et là hier j'ai vrillé quand j'ai réalisé qu'on allait avoir 1 mois entier sans pluie, alors qu'on attaque tout juste juillet. Si j'avais un plan pour que mon jardin et les petites bêtes dedans ne crèvent pas sous mes yeux, je crois que ça irait mieux.

I would like to say that I'm grounded, centered, and feeling effective ... but... 😒

and

Sometimes I am. ☀️

I'm thankful for so many holding a piece of the resistance so we don't all have to hold it at once. (at least, I don't have the energy for constant )

Interconnection + community=

I'm also thankful to be adding to the stories out there. We need more

OK, so we are setting up a cron job to run https://pypi.org/project/github-backup/ periodically to back up all our GitHub projects (including issues and other collateral, which is as important for continuity as the code itself). Next step: is there an open source app (Python preferred) that we can run locally to serve the JSON dump of issues in a browser to display the issues and old code reviews? I.e., something we can run locally to replicate that part of GitHub at least in read mode?

reviewed We Were Made for These Times by Kaira Jewel Lingo

Kaira Jewel Lingo: We Were Made for These Times (AudiobookFormat, 2022, Parallax Press)

In ten concise chapters, you'll learn powerful ways to meet life's challenges with wisdom, resilience, …

Direct, Simple, Beautiful and Eminently Practical

The subtitle of We Were Made for These Times is "10 Lessons for Moving Through Change, Loss, and Disruption" and the book delivers exactly that, but HOW it delivers! I have seldom come across a book teaching #mindfulness practices which is at once so direct, simple, beautiful, and eminently practical.

Drawing mainly from the Plum Village Tradition of her root teacher, Thích Nhất Hạnh, former nun Kaira Jewel Lingo fills each brief lesson with just enough clarity and examples to begin practicing immediately, complete with tips for practicing in daily life and including journaling exercises to further explore the topic of each lesson.

All of that alone would be enough, but to top it all off, in the audio version she sings near the end of each lesson, each instance of which has the amazing quality of summarizing what was taught, inviting reflection, touching the heart, and perhaps …

Hey, so, we all know weather is going to get more dangerous over the next few years. Also, the USA weather services are probably not going to be operating at their best (to be optimistic). I know there are other sources, but the whole of the world society feels like it is on the edge of darkness. So...
Proposal/question: using the plethora of easily accessible data, compute, and brilliant people; how could we form a federated and decentralized weather service?

I imagine it would require some standardized protocols and modeling teams. Similar things do exist for other areas of research. However, I am an ecological modeler and know very little relevant information beyond using climate models. I am not completely sure what is needed for weather. Thoughts or ideas? Or is anyone even interested in this?

y'all ☺️

Nature's is truly wonderful.

I wish I had the same anti freeze in my cells that enable these brave winter warriors to break through the ground and share their joy with the world.

But, for now, I'll stick to my lively warm layers.

This is a seedling snowdrop that is surprisingly tall and it looks like a double.

The cerise pink blob in the background is a double hellebore, poised to dazzle in a few week's time.

Enjoy your day, wherever you are.

Snowdrop seedling and cerise pink double hellebore. We buy alot of our hellebores from Ashwood Nurseries near Kidiminster. We have bought our snowdrops from a wide range of different nurseries and sellers over the years.

An eerie side effect of having used password managers for over 20 years, is that you become very aware of the fleeting nature of the web. I'm going through some of the older entries and over 60% of the websites simply don't exist anymore.
