What makes you, you? Why do Humans have different personalities? (Why do birds of the same species have varying beak sizes?)
Everyone has the five 'big' traits of personality, albeit, at varying levels.

I finally got round to starting @pluralistic's "Picks & Shovels" last night.
I am hooked, and look forward to reading more later.
For some reason, it also makes me want to re-read "Pirate Cinema".

Back cover draft for my upcoming #solarpunk #book - what do you think? would you read it?
How to Surf a Hurricane follows a daring heist set in the high-stakes world of extreme sports and cutting-edge technology, survival and environmental responsibility.
Moro, a determined engineer, is hell-bent on securing his next-generation battery prototype, which could revolutionize the energy industry. When his uncle cancels the project, Moro embarks on a risky mission to intercept the batteries during transit. His plan hinges on the help of Victoria, a fearless hurricane surfer, and a cast of colorful characters with their own agendas.
As the heist unfolds amidst a growing artificial hurricane, alliances are tested, and lives are changed forever. What starts as a calculated risk quickly turns into chaos with deadly consequences.
With its blend of action, technology, and environmentalism, How to Surf a Hurricane offers a thrilling, thought-provoking ride for fans of heist tales and speculative fiction alike.
I'm thinking of buying a non-Kindle e-reader to give Amazon the flick. What model has the closest functionality to Kindle, that isn't American-owned? Kobo perhaps?

#Meta have just won an emergency injunction against their former director of global public policy, Sarah Wynn-Williams, to stop her distributing copies of her book, Careless People. The New York Times Book Review described it as, "an ugly, detailed portrait of one of the most powerful companies in the world".
I have just ordered a copy and also sent a recommendation to the #CERN library to buy a copy.

"The Jakarta Method: Washington's Anticommunist Crusade and the Mass Murder Program that Shaped Our World", by Vincent Bevins
#Book presentation: "In 1965, the U.S. government helped the Indonesian military kill approximately one million innocent civilians. This was one of the most important turning points of the twentieth century, eliminating the largest communist party outside China and the Soviet Union and inspiring copycat terror programs in faraway countries like Brazil and Chile. But these events remain widely overlooked, precisely because the CIA's secret interventions were so successful."
#Quote from book: “I fear that the truth of what happened contradicts so forcefully our idea of what the Cold War was, of what it means to be an American, or how globalization has taken place, that it has simply been easier to ignore it.”

no one else in town had a phone. vidya climbed to the top of the water tower alone, to avoid all the hyperventilating demands for explanations, half-thought-out recriminations, more closely considered criticisms, and so forth, that he’d be forced to endure if anyone saw him checking the weather.
#Book/#info request!
I'm looking for an art book or other resources about HIV/AIDS art, especially art done by groups like ACT UP & works about inadequate government response.
(Open to other illness art topics as well, but this feels most immediately relevant.)
I raided my library with the help of a very cool nonbinary librarian. We found a PILE of semi-related resources, but most only have 1-4 pages on the subject as part of other queer history or activism art texts.
