Elvis Costello - Beyond Belief
I don’t think I can listen to this song enough times. Theres just so much power in this thing, but controlled. And I’m totally appreciating the map image here even though I have no idea what it represents. Sound quality not the best here though.
Tim DeChristopher, who was just released from federal custody, is best known as the man who disrupted an auction of pristine public lands. But there’s more to his story than his role as “Bidder 70.”
I saw Tim DeChristopher speak at a screening of Bidder 70 last night and am deeply appreciating how he totally changed the climate movement. This film, btw, is screening at the Quad Cinema on 13th st between 5th & 6th ave at 1pm and 7pm until May 23 (Thursday). It’s beautiful. Go watch it. Even if you’re not hardcore into climate activism. This thing will just make you think about how you want to live your life and the kind of person you want to be.

Seriously though, I like live here
If anyone is unwilling to descend into himself, because this is too painful, he will remain superficial in his writing… If I perform to myself, then it’s this that the style expresses. And then the style cannot be my own. If you are unwilling to know what you are, your writing is a form of deceit.– ― Wittgenstein (via chrisgavagan)

A zoom in of Marcos Island, Florida, an upscale community on the Gulf Coast side of the state. The city is was built on marshy barrier islands and is susceptible to beach erosion and sea level rise. It’s surrounded by protected conservation land, marine protected coast land, and was, until today, restricted from rapid development and expansion. The Governor of Florida, Rick Scott, is set to reverse the trend by signing a slate of bills that would allow aggressive development in this and other protected areas around the Everglades. Over 20 environmental regulations and decades of environmental and land conservation battles are about to be destroyed at the stroke of a pen. But, if you’re a real estate developer, it sure is a pretty place to bulldoze…
One bonus of running a divestment campaign at a public institution
