Scorn & Contempt contains over three dozen poems written for the fragile souls author Darius McCaskey considers his tribe. Within its pages are reflections on our similarly broken world: an unflinching eye gazes on climate change and pollution, political strife, toxic relationships, and abuse. Conflict splinters inner lives and outer façades, leaving scorn and contempt to erupt from the fractures. Surrounded by ugliness, pain, and trauma, one can still find beauty, healing, and peace in the quest for truth. The poems in Scorn & Contempt are meant to be a way station for the battered and bruised in need of respite on their eternal journey.

The "energy transition" is accompanied by the slogan "Wind and sun don't send a bill".Fine - the coal seam and the oil well don't send a bill either. The bill is sent by the various devices used to convert the energy, which is initially either extracted as chemically bound energy carriers or converted from flow or radiation energy to, for example, electrical energy. Since energy is not "renewed" but can only ever be converted from one form to another, this is precisely what the costs - and losses - are for.So how high are these costs for the production of the PV and wind power plants? How can we make a usable constant power supply out of their extremely unsteady electricity? What are the costs of the necessary storage facilities, what resources have to be dug up all over the world for this purpose, what are the costs and are the world reserves of the required rare and expensive elements sufficient at all for this purpose?How much does it cost to extract, process and transport them, and what pollutants are emitted in the process? What damage will occur at the installation site for people, animals and plants? Will the weather and local climate be affected? Is it worthwhile to import the "green electricity"?So what is the bottom line of the CO2 and actual pollutant balance of energy production by "renewables", what price per kWh has to be calculated - undistorted by subsidies and certificates?How many wind turbines and how many km² of PV modules, how many additional batteries or electrolysis plants have to be installed in the country in the end, in order to convert e.g. the complete electric power supply?The answer to these questions is sobering to shocking and will hopefully inspire some to rethink - at least those who mean well with this planet.

72 Seasons of Mindful Play, The Timeless Planner, is your weekly planner to include gentle curiosity and connection with nature and cycles in your day, week, year, every year. This is a unique planner that cycles with life, not time. We begin where we are. If we pause, that's fine, we begin again. It is based on the historic Japanese 72 micro-seasons that rotate every 5 days. It is not based on days of the week. The dates are simply the dates, not tied to days of the week. Through haiku, reflective prompts, nature, observations, and the lead of the historic 72 Seasons, an opportunity unfolds within to connect with your inner and outer environments in ways that companion time, breaking time in the sense that we feel pushed and pulled by it, and then learning how we are instead among it through the cycles we witness and relate to in the patterns and randomness of nature. The invitation Birdi Sinclair and Beth Blakesley offer is to create a shift by saying YES. Curiosity and exploration become the guide in a year of simplicity, questioning, and inter-being. Living into a choice to plan being-ness. They were inspired to create this planner after designing an ongoing, year-long course of writing and art that expands on these very topics. "YES. We invite you, simply because you want to." xo Birdi and Beth
