But when Cleo and her crew arrive on Orbis Alius, its surrounding wasteland reveals mysteries and horrors that none of them could...

Yanko Design: This Award-Winning Bookstore Looks Like a Portal to Outer Space

Imagine concentric rings and geometric forms inspired by celestial mechanics, all reimagined as bookshelves and display areas. The books themselves seem to defy gravity, positioned on these dramatic structures in ways that make you feel like you’re browsing a library floating somewhere in deep space.

An eye-opening and essential look at the discrimination still faced by LGBTQIA+ people today, woven throughout with moving and jaw-dropping personal accounts, plus practical steps anyone can take to help change things.

Complete equality for LGBTQIA+ people should be our benchmark. But despite massively increased visibility in mainstream life and culture, the queer community is facing unacceptable levels of prejudice and danger—from the rise in homophobic and transphobic violence to the rollback of hard-fought-for rights across the globe.

In this groundbreaking, compelling and highly readable book, writer and activist Ellen Jones exposes the discrimination queer people continue to face in all areas of life, from marriage to mental health, education to ageing, religion to sport and much more. In searing prose, punctuated with moving personal accounts, Jones sets out not only the issues but also practical actions that readers can take to create a more equal society, and highlights the trailblazers whose amazing work is already changing the world.

Taking a wooden footbridge across a sea of ice feels like the right way to enter a library

#Aarhus
#Libraries
#Icetodon

A wooden footbridge across a section of inner harbour, Aarhus, Denmark. Swirling clumps of white pancake ice cover the water below it. On the far side, warm light glows from the safe haven of Dokk1 Aarhus Main Library, a striking four-storey modern geometric waterfront building. The sky is cold grey with hints of sunset orange. The masts of two anchored ships can be seen off to the left. As ways to walk into your local library go, this one is reasonably storybooky, I think.

I love the idea of requesting your library carry the game (EARTH RISING)! People don't think of #libraries as having games (Library of Things), but they do!

I should add these games to my Top 10 Solarpunk Books list for libraries!

Wat gebeurt er als boeken uit bibliotheken verdwijnen en bibliotheekmedewerksters onder druk komen te staan?
De documentaire "The Librarians" toont op indringende wijze hoe kwetsbaar vrije toegang tot boeken kan zijn — en hoe hard daarvoor wordt gestreden.
