(2025) \u3cem\u3eI\u27m Trying to Love Garbage\u3c/em\u3e (2021) by Bethany Barton
Bethany Barton writes great books for kids about how minds change. In this one, the character’s arc is from thinking about garbage as just smelly icky stuff through empathizing (a little) with the creatures that feed on garbage, to eventually coming to see that all garbage is not equal; some needs special handling or it will clutter life up for a long time. The conclusion: I want to act like someone who thinks more about garbage, about what trash I create and where it ends up.

Fighting Disinformation Online: The Digital Services Act in the American Context
The internet is one of humanity’s most significant creations in the modern era. What began roughly 30 years ago has developed into a rich, diverse, but largely unregulated environment we can no longer live without. With the spread of mis- and disinformation worldwide, calls for a safer internet have gotten louder. This article discusses the threats disinformation poses to online users and provides a case study on how the European Union’s Digital Services Act attempts to protect users’ fundamental rights in the online space and whether the Digital Services Act could or should serve as a model for similar legislation in the United States
Millennial-timescale thermogenic CO2 release preceding the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum
Geologic records support a short-lived carbon release, known as the pre-onset excursion (POE), shortly before the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM; ~ 56 Ma). However, the source and pace of the POE carbon release and its relationship to the PETM remain unresolved. Here we show a high-temporal-resolution stratigraphic record spanning the POE and PETM from the eastern Tethys Ocean that documents the evolution of surface ocean carbon cycle, redox and eutrophication, confirming the global nature of the POE. Biomarkers extracted from the sedimentary record indicate a smaller environmental perturbation during the POE than that during the PETM in the eastern Tethys Ocean. Earth system modeling constrained by observed δ13C and pH data indicates that the POE was driven by a largely thermogenic CO2 source, likely associated with sill intrusions prior to the main eruption phase of the North Atlantic Igneous Province and possibly biogeochemical feedbacks involving the release of biogenic methane
