A book from the 19th century that depicts the Rhine Valley by creating an impression of three-dimensionality and spatial distance.

i've made 45 bilingual (eng/esp) copies of the Riot Medicine Field Guide, a concise companion book to the Hakan Geijer's robust protest medic text. i printed these specifically to distribute to action medics, though the content is informative for anyone and functions as a good hook for anyone interested learning more about street medicine.
if you would like one for yourself or as gift to someone ('tis the season!), please email me the address at <fallrise@riseup.net> and i will send one -- i am happy to cover the ~$4 shipping, but am willing to accept donations. if you have a medic crew and would like some for yourselves or for trainings, i can send you a box.
original texts can be found digitally at: https://riotmedicine.net/

Could you recommend me a good, approachable #book about #symbolism in #art for someone who is interested in creating #solarpunk #illustration of #community and #climateChange ?
I'm more interested in "how to capture the non-obvious ideas" than just a tour of classical art.
The book doesn't need to talk about #climate , just conveying non-obvious meanings.
Part of me is thinking about Scott McCloud's comic books, but I want to go deeper.

I want to pick up another part of the ‘nature cure’ problem
When a woman writes about the outdoors, people often reach for the same narrative template. She walked, she felt better, the land healed her. It can read as wholesome encouragement, even harmless, but the effect is anything but neutral.
‘Nature cure’ quietly shifts the focus away from the systemic forces that harmed her in the first place.

I’d like to share a small publishing milestone.
‘Drystone - A Life Rebuilt’ has gone into a second print run.
And because publishing is famously opaque, and there are so many wildly unrealistic ideas out there about how it all works, here are the numbers in plain terms...

Today in Labor History December 9, 1842: The Anarchist formerly known as Prince, Peter Kropotkin, was born on this date in Moscow. Kropotkin was a geographer and anarcho-communist. His most well-known works include “Conquest of Bread,” “Fields, Factories,” and “Mutual Aid, A Factor of Evolution,” which explores the role of mutually-beneficial cooperation and reciprocity (i.e., mutual aid) in the animal kingdom and human societies both past and present. It was an argument against the theory of social Darwinism, popular at the time, that argued that existing social relations were the natural consequence of rich people’s inherent genetic superiority over the poor. Kropotkin argued that because mutual aid has pragmatic advantages for the survival of human and animal communities, it has proliferated through natural selection. In 1874, Kropotkin was arrested and imprisoned in the Peter and Paul Fortress for subversive political activity. In 1876, he escaped and fled to Switzerland. During his younger days, he served as a geographer for the Russian empire. In 1873, he published a scientific paper showing that the existing maps entirely misrepresented the physical features of Asia.

Would this Tuesday be better if you had more books?
Would it be even better if those books didn't cost you arm and leg?

Book report: Genocide Bad. Notes on Palestine, Jewish History, and Collective Liberation by Sim Kern
Kern's writing is frank, genuine, and often humorous but always rooted in compassion.
Kern explores their own history countering anti-Jewish hate and explains arguments against Zionism in a clear and concise way.

Tonight I’m wishing that Becky Chambers would add more books to the Monk and Robot Series. I’d love to learn more about that calm, hopeful world.
