I am hyped, because I just learned about a low-cost #airpurifier. CR-boxes. They use MERV-13 filters instead of HEPA. The trick is simple. These things are slightly less effective in catching particles, but you can push much more air through them. Less resistance 👾. Hence a unit is quiet like a wine fly. And #airpollution is gone with the wind There’s even a click-baity clip.👇 www.youtube.com/watch

Cage homes, a Vietnamese story. This new-ish trend in the capital is tough to swallow. And now, prices are rising. The profit margins must be insane.

Awesome audience. This morning at #easst4s2024, I discussed our upcoming book (series) on “Predictions” (Mattering Press, w/ Mél Hogan and Edward Ongweso Jr). We’re inviting #sts authors to experiment with the format of predictions. A troubling format. But it offers room to imagine and intervene. To show up differently. To learn from sf. It requires careful editing though, so the comments about where and how to be critical were essential. Attentive folks
