"Our fight is just one small piece of a collective puzzle."

The Seminole Nation of Oklahoma just became the first Indigenous nation to officially ban data center construction from lands under its jurisdiction.

After a tech startup approached Seminole leaders asking to allow a data center on their lands, the Tribal Council voted 24 to 0 to enact a “moratorium on the advancement of generative artificial intelligence technology and hyperscale data center development within the Seminole Nation and within tribal lands and territories,” Native News Online reported.

Every mother dreams of seeing her children safe and well-fed. Today, my dream is much smaller... I just want to buy one can of formula for my baby.

I am a mother of four little girls, doing everything I can to protect them through incredibly difficult days. But today, I have nothing left to feed my youngest daughter.

If you can help, no matter how small the donation, it would mean more than words can express. And if you can't donate, please share our story. Your kindness could reach someone who can.

Thank you for giving us hope. 🤍🙏

#irishmythtober Day 2 - An Dadga

I decided that my take on the #irishmythtober prompts on Insta would be dark and human-centered and mostly based on late medieval and early modern literary tradition (which is, in my opinion, terribly overlooked in favour of 19th century folk tradition and early 20th c. literary reconstructions based on the idea of 'proper' European pre-Christian pantheons... but I digress). Mícheál Ó Cléirigh tells the story (in his version of the Book of Conquests) of Eochaid Daghdha eventurally succumbing to a years-old wound from a poison dart that hit him in the battle of Mag Tuired, and nominating his son Bodb Dearg as his successor as the high king of the Tuatha Dé Danann (which did not go all that smoothly because of Bodb's half-brother Midir, but I digress again).

One translator suggested the desirability of pruning and giving paragraphs and sentences 'a sharper edge', [highlight] but mysteries do not come with sharp edges [/end highlight]. The work deals with mysteries and miracles and experiences which Julian herself found hard to follow and interpret, and it seems wrong to oversimplify, to make her book too easy and clear. [highlight] The past struggle to understand and the present struggle to express sometimes merge together, and a certain degree of effort and confusion may be a necessary element in receiving the text. Saint Augustine described certain passages of Scripture as 'covered with a most dense mist', and suggested that this situation was "provided by God", as what is grasped quickly is insufficiently valued. [/end highlight]. Julian too conveys what she believed to be God's own utterances, and we should not be able to skim quickly through her writings.

Really nice recipes. Every hour.
