It's Frankenstein Day, folks! Celebrated every year on 8/30 to honor Mary Shelley, who was born #OTD in 1797. A good opportunity to re-up our beautiful edition of her classic novel, expanded with essays & annotations: mitpress.mit.edu/97802625332… (#OpenAccess edition available)

I'm so excited to see this groundswell of climate content that espouses possibilities not pessimism. I was introduced to the idea of 'hopeful climate futures' in 2016 by an anthology of climate short stories called 'Everything Change' from @imaginationASU. It changed my worldview. A shoutout to the crucial work they've been doing these past 7+ years. All their published content is here: csi.asu.edu/books/ @scirens

I'm fascinated by future-oriented research and one of the highlights of my inbox is @imaginationASU's "Imaginary Papers" newsletter. Imagining and inspiring better futures are excellent ways to tackle uncertainty. This report is SO exciting and timely: democracyfundersnetwork.org/…
Three great recommendations for better democracy from @SuzetteMasters: Strengthen the ecosystem by investing in infrastructure and relationships; Model what’s possible and fund experiments; Strengthen narrative & amplify futures-oriented content ow.ly/uIU350LUhT8 @NCoC
