Preface
The world we live in is made up of innumerable particles: elementary particles, atoms and molecules, and a multitude of substances with different and diverse properties: natural and synthetic substances, organic and inorganic compounds, and pure and composite materials. All of these are found in outer space and on Earth, in the air, in water sources, and on land, as well as in plants (“flora”) and animals (“fauna”).

Through detailed chapters, the book examines elemental formation, ecosystem structure and function, and provides a critical analysis of the #anthroposphere, highlighting how human activity has reshaped Earth’s systems and accelerated environmental decline. It critically addresses sustainability, resource management, and the systemic challenges posed by the current human-environment crisis.

The book frames the ecological crisis through three interlinked dimensions: the chemical crisis (pollution), the biological crisis (biodiversity loss), and the physical crisis (climate change). These are analyzed both microscopically—at the level of atomic and molecular interactions—and macroscopically, through phenomena such as air and ocean pollution, global warming, and ecosystem degradation.

Chemodiversity and the Ecological Crisis by Adi Wolfson, 2020
This book covers the origins, transformations, and interactions of matter—from atoms and molecules to complex biological and composite materials—across abiotic, biotic, and anthropogenic systems. It offers a unique chronological narrative, tracing the evolution of #chemodiversity from the Big Bang to the present, and explores how these material changes underpin the ecological crises of our time.

I finally jotted down a table of in how far the big three browsers currently support RFC9460 HTTPS records.
In summary:
- All browsers support ALPN
- Safari has the best support; it's the only browser that supports AliasMode, but Safari doesn't support ECH
- Firefox requires DoH, but then supports several parameters
- Chrome only support ALPN and ECH
See this page for details, I may update it in the future:

Confidently Lost by Gavin Oattes, 2025
Finding joy in the chaos and rediscovering what matters most in life
Not another self-help book promising "five steps to happiness." This is a wake-up call, a rallying cry, and a much-needed hug all in one.
Brace yourself for the book that flips self-help on its head and gives personal growth a much-needed shake-up.
Content Confusion by Michelle A. Amazeen, 2025
News Media, Native Advertising, and Policy in an Era of Disinformation
How mainstream news organizations and advertisers contribute to and legitimize disinformation by blurring the line between ads and journalism.
We often blame social media for the rampant problem of disinformation, but the truth is that mainstream news media is often equally at fault.

"The world is not directly given to us’, Paul Feyerabend writes in Against Method, his philosophical manifesto. Perhaps, as in anthropology, we give ourselves to the world. Feyerabend proposes that any grasp of the world is filtered through whatever competing worldviews, traditions, or beliefs the observer of the world might hold or encounter..."

"Love is likely one of our first emotions. Indeed, it is probably what most human beings first experience as they become aware of existence in the embraces of their caregiver. This fundamental primacy of love—the fact that it is such an elemental part of humanity from the very first moment of awareness—means that as an emotion it is challenging to intellectually categorise."

"The fact that each of us learn the meaning of “love” differently, depending on what we underwent during our early years, makes the task of defining love arduous, and a universal definition even unattainable."

Is there a PyLady that has made meaningful impact in your community?
Nominate them for the Outstanding PyLady Award as your way to say thanks.
People don't magically receive award and recognitions. Someone need to submit the nomination. Why not you?
I've just submitted several nominations to people I admire. Now it's your turn.
Ideas on who you can nominate:
Community leader, speaker, educator, open source contributor, mentor, blogger, volunteer, etc

Sometimes you read about old technology, get to the end of the sentence, and have to read it again because it sounds so completely ludicrous you can't quite believe it actually worked.
Anyway Eidophor projectors are what they used for Apollo Mission Control.

#chatmail relays are recently getting more artful in their web presence 🤩 Nice examples:
https://darkrun.dev in Ontario, or
https://bloc7.icu/ in Warszawa.
We estimate there are ~4 times more relays than in the published list at https://chatmail.at/relays
Many relays are smaller ones, but that's fine. A 5 EUR per month VPS can go a long way (thousands or tens of thousands of monthly users). Thanks for the service to all the operators of which around 40 are in a loose group chat 💗
Your chat profile/identity: a tar file.
Your social web app: a zip file.
https://chatmail.at and https://webxdc.org are spearheading ever new and more fun ways to deny power to servers and platform billionaires.
Unlike classic email servers, #chatmail relays do not store user identities which solely live on end-user devices.There also is no encrypted value on the server like with Proton Mail or Signal. There are only relays, endless federating networks of relays to onboard safely :)
We went to the plaza last night..
Happy Holidays, everyone!

The room is empty except for Nell and Nagg in their garbage cans, Hamm in his wheelchair, and Clov, who walks back and forth and occasionally looks out the window. Quite early in the play, the following dialogue occurs:

Endgame
Samuel Beckett’s play Endgame is not about Alzheimer’s or dementia, but it is about old age, illness, poverty, and dysfunctional family relationships. The scene consists of an empty room where a family of four people live. Hamm is blind and sits in a wheelchair. Nell and Nagg are Hamm’s elderly parents who are bedridden. Their “beds” consist of them sitting in separate garbage cans beside each other. Clov is Hamm’s adopted son.

To truly understand suffering, we must move beyond the surface of pain. We must acknowledge the intricate web of emotions, thoughts, and memories that ensnare us. We struggle with fear, anger, and despair. We are haunted by the past and terrified of the future. We wrestle with intrusive thoughts, unwanted urges, and the crushing weight of our own mortality (Hayes & Smith, 2005).

Even in the face of profound darkness, #mothers demonstrate an extraordinary capacity for radical healing resilience. They confront fear with courage, offering boundless love and compassion amidst overwhelming loss. They find the strength to carry their pain and move forward, driven by an unwavering will to nurture, to hope, and to build meaning for their children and themselves, even in a world overshadowed by suffering.

This journey delves into the raw, visceral reality of suffering—not merely the physical sensation of pain but the profound depths of anguish that reverberate through the human experience. It’s a descent into my own unconscious, a confrontation with the genocidal horrors imprinted on my memory, and an overwhelming empathy for the mothers of Gaza who have known the unbearable grief of losing a child, and for the children who now navigate a world without their mothers

Their love, a fierce and unwavering force, becomes a shield against despair, a beacon of hope for a future where their children can finally breathe free. This is the enduring strength of Palestinian motherhood, a testament to the power of love to transcend even the deepest wounds, a promise that even in the face of unimaginable loss, life, like the olive tree, will find a way to flourish again.

And yet, amidst this pain, amidst the rubble and the tears, Palestinian mothers and daughters continue to gather. They rebuild homes, both physical and emotional. They cultivate gardens of hope in the barren landscape of occupation. They weave stories of resilience and resistance into the fabric of their children’s lives. They embody the spirit of #sumud, steadfastness, a quiet defiance that refuses to be extinguished.

It is the inherited trauma of dispossession, passed down through generations, a silent scream echoing through their DNA. The loss is tangible: the stolen land, the demolished homes, the vanished olive groves, the silenced stories. It is the constant struggle for basic human rights, the denial of freedom of movement, the humiliation of checkpoints, the ever‑present specter of violence.

The settler colonial project, with its relentless violence and dispossession, inflicts wounds that run deep, impacting not only individual lives but also the very fabric of Palestinian society. This pain is not abstract; it is etched into the bodies and souls of Palestinian women. It manifests as the chronic ache of displacement, the gnawing anxiety of living under constant threat, the gut‑wrenching fear for their children’s safety.
