Another recommendation from Claude for families surviving a world war #ww3: Diversify skills and income sources before you need to. Families who fared best weren't necessarily the wealthiest — they were the most adaptable. Households with a mix of skills:

HURRAY! A well-written, delightfully illustrated, NON-TECHIE explainer of the Atmosphere. This is *exactly* the kind of explainer that will be easy for me to share with my non-tech friends and work colleagues. THANK YOU, @leaflet.pub!

Bluesky and Leaflet are in the Atmosphere!!! ...wtf does does that mean? Here's a little explainer, written for everyone. No tech experience or prior knowledge required. All you need is 4 minutes or less :D

Asked Claude what families did to survive past world wars, this stood out to me: Strong local networks mattered more than distant wealth. Families embedded in tight neighborhood, church, or extended-family networks did better at bartering, childcare, information-sharing, and emotional support.

2018 creation by the avant-garde Japanese artist Sakiyama (サキヤマ). Renowned for their dark, visceral, and deeply atmospheric indie aesthetic—often floating between dark fantasy, underground manga, and psychological existentialism—Sakiyama crafts an instantly memorable allegory of urban discomfort.

the colossal, monstrous black feline entity that dominates the left and central registers. Rendered as a heavy, opaque silhouette with tiny, pinpoint white eyes, the creature unhinges its massive jaws in a silent, cavernous yawn. The interior of its mouth becomes a literal window into another dimension, framing a beautifully detailed, nocturnal cityscape. Inside this toothy cavern, low-slung suburban rooftops, glowing apartment windows, and silhouetted telephone poles sit beneath a vast, star-dusted midnight sky complete with drifting summer clouds and a crisp, pale crescent moon. This surreal juxtaposition suggests that true relief, coolness, and psychological escape can only be found deep within the dark, nocturnal shadow of the city. Seated low at the base of this cosmic feline is a small, enigmatic humanoid figure, slouching in a posture of complete, heat-exhausted defeat. The character is dressed in a pitch-black bodysuit topped with a light-colored, animal-eared hood or mask featuring two vacant, wide-rimmed black eyes. Clasping their knees, this figure sits as an island of quiet vulnerability, looking directly outward to embody the literal interpretation of the piece's title—the suffocating, draining paralysis brought on by an intense seasonal heatwave. The surrounding mechanical environment introduces a powerful layer of industrial irony and repetitive geometric texture. Stacked haphazardly to the right and lower-left of the main figure are four industrial air conditioning condenser units or fans. Executed in loose, sketchy line work, these mechanical boxes loom over the characters like oppressive architectural blocks. The circular, spiral vents of the fans suggest the buzzing, low-frequency hum of a city desperately trying to cool itself down. Sitting atop the lower-left condenser is a small, fragile vase holding a few drooping, withered wildflowers, introducing a subtle, poetic nod to the toll the summer heat takes on the natural world.
