No. Don't be hating on beavers. Their dams are carbon sinks. Humans have killed off so many beavers over the last +200 years they really don't know how beavers will affect the environment at scale. https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/12/as-the-arctic-warms-beavers-are-moving-in/?utm_medium=social&utm_brand=ars&utm_source=twitter&utm_social-type=owned
I believe life can be more than a series of customer service failures.
I want to live in a world that works. Products without lies. Professions without haste. Care without prerequisites.

If I can’t be rich, at least let there be aliens out there.
I’m curious if there is an anthropologically-informed “correct” (“healthy”? “Natural”?) number of hours for self-care/grooming. Similar to the ‘8h of sleep’ suggestion. Are we getting enough? What happens when we don’t get enough? How does that information get used? Are we replacing this grooming time with reading our phones? Are we (unintentionally) misusing those signals?

Ancient octopus pots from Minoan Crete. Made about 3,500 years ago. The artists who painted these pots were inspired by #nature and loved what they saw! Look at those faces! 🐙 👀 ❤️
I’m not sure that my interests in doing a good job and making things that work is compatible with working for a living.

Risks to Mastodon with increasing popularity
Interesting comment on Hackernews regarding a possible scenario/long term risk should Mastodon threaten the corporate sphere of social media.
I wonder how many state secrets have gone through #google translate

Eigg isn't connected to the UK national grid. Instead we generate 90% to 95% of our electricity from wind, sun, & water (hydro). Community-owned Eigg Electric was switched on in 2008. Islanders are trained and employed to manage it. Electricity costs 28p per unit/kWh. Before 2008 each property had its own diesel generator. Now we have 24kW of wind, 110kW of hydro, 170kW of solar PV, storage batteries, and a back up generator. Next challenge is #netzero #renewables #eigg http://isleofeigg.org/eigg-electric/

Morning! I always keep discussions of ancient goldsmiths non-gender specific because truth is we just don't know & words can be leading!
There were female goldsmiths in Medieval London & some even had own gold marks. If prehistoric goldworkers were working in small specialised, groups/families then it would be strange for women not to be involved.
I've always loved this by Tom Björklund of a Bronze Age metalworker. Do look at his work: it's incredible.

A glorious day to be out an about in #EppingForest.
During lockdown I spent so much time in the forest but it's been a while since I've managed a decent walk amongst the trees. Left it a bit late in the day to get started but managed to cover a fair amount of (soggy) ground.
There's a Welsh phrase "Dod yn ôl at fy nghoed" which can be translated as "To return to my trees" and means to return to one’s senses and a balanced state of mind.

Bit of a behind the scenes photo - torcs are obviously 2300ish years old, utterly precious and totally irreplaceable.
So when they're moved, even a short distance, they're packed snugly and safely!
Happy Friday all...I hope you're packed snugly and safely whenever you move today! 😉

The outcrops have looked nice in the fresh snow recently. Early in the season it is interesting to see which faces retain snow and which prefer to be exposed. And so on
I like learning how things are made, trying to make things, and sometimes trying to do a good job. I love to eat, perform light labor in the garden or around the house, and consume scifi.
