I did not know about this, thank you! I use LibraryThing rather than Bookwyrm, but I'm intrigued by Bookwyrm nonetheless. I'll check it out!

Thanks for posting this! I'm familiar with the Story Seed Library, but didn't know they were holding an art collab. I make pixel art mostly, but I'm also kind of flirting with the idea of making a Solarpunk Coloring Book (I do a lot of adult coloring stuff, and I've given away coloring pages via my website before). Not sure if that would be accepted, but it's still nice to know about.
120GB can also hold a whole library full of music and/or books, so that's nothing to scoff at!
Tl;dr: Climate change is causing housing insurance rates to rise, and the price of rebuilding after disasters is increasing. Meanwhile the Fed is doing very little about it because this is Trump's administration, and their orders are to drive us headlong into disaster.
I wouldn't call it a "time bomb," just things getting more expensive per usual.
In addition to the other tips here, it would also be easier if you could disassemble the entire keyboard and lift it from the frame entirely. I'm not sure how ThinkPads are constructed, but the other brands I've used can come off, and then you can clean the plastic on top of the circuitry more vigorously (let dry completely before putting it back on)
Agreed, but in the American South it is rampant and frustrating. I try to fight against it when I can, but it is very much an uphill battle.
Not that I would encourage anyone to start seeking plastic trash out--bringing your own cup is always best--if you do happen to find yourself with plastic cups on hand, they make excellent seed starters. Punch holes in the bottom and fill them with soil. They'll fit really nicely next to each other in one of those shoe-box sized plastic storage containers, and you can keep the box filled with water to make sure the seeds stay moist. I've started a lot of plants for my garden this way.
Yeah, that's basically it. It's fiction that features a future in which people are adapting to climate change and focuses on sustainable living and technologies. A few years back you wouldn't have found anything searching for solarpunk fiction, but it seems to have been gaining popularity lately. I've always enjoyed speculative fiction, and I agree with you that we need more protopians in our collective imagination.
