May these days without working AC bring my body into more efficient homeostasis and my spirit into more powerful solidarity with all people who live closer to nature's severity

@ScienceMagazine @ScienceMagazine what if we could do this with humans, and throat tension, maybe diaphragmic tension, breath taken for sound, etc. and maybe like two small villages at both ends of the earth are cultural brothers/sisters, and etc

[Science Magazine @ScienceMagazine]

A new analysis in Science of more than 116,000 bird songs has revealed that the astonishing variety of passerine birdsong is built from just eight basic acoustic motifs, like trills, whistles, and harmonic notes.

The findings also reveal that local environments greatly shape how birds communicate around the world.

I offer direct, lived witness to the grime in our systems because I care how we treat our most vulnerable and also how heroes are rewarded. Wouldn't any intelligent life assess us this way? Be kind to your pets, your veterans, your dependents. The world will know.

Juicy heterotopia dive https://t.co/vz1eonhzzd

Planning word of the day 3 (catch up!): heterotopia - an "other place" that breaks normal social rules, acting like a world inside a world. Examples: beaches, prisons, dance floors, holy places. A nice medical parallel meaning is unusual anatomical placement of tissue

Planning study lore: the Valley of Traces

French urban & regional planners titled the master planning project for Caen and adjacent Normandy municipalities the "Valley of Traces" project in a bow to the sociospatial cache of Normandy hedgerows (herding, defense, sports, gardens)

Planning word of the day 2: masterplanning

Seeing this term as a compound word (no spaces) in scholarly and sector articles

[Nora Goebelbecker @nora_go_]

Planning word of the day: planimetrically

"Planimetrically means measuring or mapping things on a flat, two-dimensional surface. It looks at horizontal (X and Y) positions like length and area, without including height, depth, or elevation changes" -@MerriamWebster

Meditating, the word parallax floated to the surface

Google search: parallax is the apparent shift in an object's position relative to a background when viewed from two different places

This fits w pondering this powerful thing of people seeing each other kindly or fearfully

Hazy days this past week. We are all connected. Reminds me of my grad school visit to Beijing

Following page Crenshaw writes about distribution of cost/risk for US urban renewal programs unjustly allowing some to benefit while many less powerful bear cost. Taleb's Antifragile identifies this as unethical. Those who bear costs for greater good should receive just upside!
