Done Since 2020-02-23
Well, it's the first of March. Where the fsck did February go? I was going to do FAWM, but I didn't. Foo. I had a little less work to do this morning; usually I have to split the week's log entries between the old month (in a file called, for example 2020/02.done) and the new one. I can put off starting 2020/03.done to next week, not that it's terribly difficult; just one extra cut and paste. And a git add, which I should automate. Hmm. *hack, hack* Did automate.
Tuesday I posted about The Future We Choose: Surviving the Climate Crisis, which I finished reading Wednesday. Turns out there's an associated website: Global Optimism -- the subtitle, or what would be the subtitle if they hadn't crammed it all into the page title, is "From pessimism to optimism - Global Optimism exists to precipitate a transformation from pessimism to optimism as a method of creating social and environmental change." I just found that today, so I'll probably have more for you in a couple of days. Meanwhile, just go read the book.
In the shorter term, we have a incipient pandemic to worry about. Recently @siderea has been running a series of posts under the coronavirus2020 tag. Like The Future We Choose, this is absolutely a must-read-now. Start with Preparing for the Pandemic: Stage 0. It connects at its downwhen terminus with an earlier series, influenza1918.
For the foodies reading this list, I offer you a list of Antidepressant foods -- 44 foods that boost mental health (you'll find the raw table under the cut, on Wednesday). The top meat and vegetable, oysters and watercress respectively, are among Colleen's favorites. I'd also like to point you at "So Much Cooking" by Naomi Kritzer, linked from @siderea's most recent post. (Content warning: it's in the form of a fictional food blog set during a pandemic. But recipes.)
