In this episode, today's storyteller, Alyssa Tsagong, reflects on a decades-long friendship that grew into something she now calls kinship: a relationship rooted in truth, curiosity, and shared tending of body and spirit. After a metastatic diagnosis, that friendship became a place where fear could be spoken out loud and held without being fixed or minimized.We talk about friendship as sacred work, building capacity for grief and joy at the same time, and how supportive relationships can be intentionally cultivated — not just relied upon — through practice, ritual, and presence.Learn more about Alyssa and Temple of Kinship: https://www.instagram.com/p/DZBXckJGfgK/?img_index=1https://www.instagram.com/temple_of_kinship/https://www.templeofkinship.org/More about Triage Cancer: https://triagecancer.org/https://www.instagram.com/triagecancer/Buy the MBC: Paradox issue: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/shop/p/digital-mbc25Shop Wildfire merch & more: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/shopBuy the Wildfire book Igniting the Fire Within: Stories of Healing, Hope & Humor, Inside Today's Young Breast Cancer Community: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BJVJ629F?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860Get the free Wildfire “Hot Flashes” email newsletter: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/newsletter?rq=newsletterLearn about Wildfire writing workshops: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/workshops*Free* Get Wildfire and The Burn freebies here: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/freeMore about Wildfire Journal: https://www.wildfirecommunity.orghttps://www.instagram.com/wildfire_bc_magazine/https://www.facebook.com/wildfirecommunityInformation on submitting your story for consideration to be published in Wildfire Journal: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/submissions

In a previous post, I explain why the universe is probably not stable, but nevertheless unlikely to be intentionally destroyable even in the limit of advanced technology. Now let's turn our attention to more prosaic risks where exotic physics merely destroys the Solar System, Earth, or just outperforms traditional nuclear weapons on some more local scale. The basic logic behind any bomb is a self-sustaining chain reaction, in which a carrier converts a unit of fuel and comes out the other side in surplus: Two conditions make this run away. The reaction must release energy, so the products are more stable than the fuel; and each reaction must produce more carrier than it consumes, so that one reaction seeds the next. A practical third condition is that cannot be so unstable that it decays before the bomb is assembled. False vacuum decay is the ultimate bomb: is the false vacuum, the empty space we currently inhabit, and is the true vacuum. Because the supply of false vacuum is effectively unlimited, the reaction grows without bound and destroys the universe. Fission bombs run on the same principle at a more prosaic scale. Consider uranium-235. This [...] ---Outline:(03:19) Nuclei are probably, but not definitely, stable within the Standard Model(08:11) Positively charged strangelets are safe, neutral strangelets are not(11:34) Strangelets would be hard to make(13:33) Exotic physics could permit ways to destroy protons, but not autocatalytically(16:01) Other forms of matter offer no plausible chain reaction(18:50) Tiny black holes are not scary(20:04) Conclusion: There are no super-weapons between the nuclear bomb and false vacuum decay(21:56) Appendix 1: Igniting the Atmosphere(27:53) Optically thick ignition(29:09) Appendix 2: Let's throw a strangelet into the sun(29:21) Neutral strangelet(32:56) Positive strangelet(33:58) Bonus: neutral strangelet meets Earth The original text contained 5 footnotes which were omitted from this narration. --- First published: July 3rd, 2026 Source: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/cBnCCKwwjQ4zZpeNQ/don-t-fear-the-strangelet --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO. ---Images from the article:Apple Podcasts and Spotify do not show images in the episode description.

The Planetary Society's 2026 Day of Action brought something new this year. For the very first time, the advocacy day was followed by a showcase of NASA funded science in an event called Igniting Discovery.

Megan McKeown, Director of Governmental Affairs at the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities, opens the event. Then we hear from the scientists themselves: Blake Schreurs of the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, planetary scientist Kirby Runyon of the Planetary Science Institute, Christine McCarthy of Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Brent McBride of the University of Maryland Baltimore County, biomechanics PhD student Liliana Delgado of the University of Nebraska Omaha, and science communicator Sarah Treadwell, also known as Space Case Sarah.

In a world where 70% of jobs are found through someone you know, "social capital" is more than just a buzzword—it's a gateway to the future. But for many first-generation students in under-resourced communities, those networks are often out of reach.In this episode of the Charity Charge Show, Grayson Harris sits down with Heather Wathington, CEO of iMentor, to discuss their ambitious new campaign: Open Doors, Ignite Possibility. Heather shares how iMentor is working to mobilize a movement of mentors, corporate partners, and communities to open 1 million doors for students by 2035. From the profound impact of social capital to the simple power of a listening ear, this conversation is a masterclass in how relationship-driven support can improve the human condition.Show Notes: Key TakeawaysSocial Capital is the Great Equalizer: Success isn't just about what you know, but who you know . iMentor focuses on building "social capital" for students, helping them access the networks and professional knowledge required to navigate convoluted career pathways.The "Everyday Mentor" is the Best Mentor: One of the biggest misconceptions is that you need to be a corporate mogul or a community leader to mentor. Heather emphasizes that students simply need an advocate—someone willing to listen, offer patience, and believe in their limitless potential.Long-Term Relationships Yield the Highest ROI: iMentor prioritizes sustained, years-long relationships over transactional interactions. Trust and confidence are built over time, providing a stable foundation for students as they transition from high school to post-secondary life.Mentorship as a Lifelong Practice: The goal isn't just a one-time connection . iMentor aims to instill a culture of mentorship where students learn to seek out mentors at every stage of their career and eventually "pay it forward" to the next generation.

We often read the scriptures and see the men and women in the accounts as superheroes. The truth, is that God continually used ordinary people to do extraordinary things. As we read about Saul in Acts 9, he is chasing Christians down to stop their worship of Jesus. Then, he has an interaction with the Lord that changes him into a man who spread the gospel. On top of that, he disciples others, builds churches, and endures persecution. Is Paul really any different than what God is calling His people to do today?

What if one of the greatest gifts we could give our daughters isn't more entertainment—but a little more boredom?  In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose kick off a week of conversations centered on the wonder and curiosity of girlhood. From childhood daydreams and backyard adventures to the quiet moments that spark imagination, this episode invites parents to rediscover something our culture has nearly forgotten—the beauty and purpose of boredom.  In a world filled with constant noise, screens, and stimulation, many girls are losing the ability to sit in stillness, wonder, and create. Yet those very moments—when a mind begins to wander, when curiosity awakens, when creativity is sparked—are essential to a girl's emotional, cognitive, and spiritual development. Boredom isn't something to avoid; it's something to embrace.  Through a thoughtful Raising Godly Girls Minute, listeners are reminded that girls are uniquely designed in the image of a creative God. When we remove the constant stream of entertainment, we create space for our daughters to explore, imagine, problem-solve, and even hear the gentle voice of the Lord.  Rachael and Natalie offer practical encouragement for parents navigating the familiar cry of "I'm bored!"—helping reframe it not as a problem to solve, but as an opportunity to grow. With a little intentionality, boredom can become the doorway to deeper connection, stronger resilience, and a more vibrant faith.  As you listen, be encouraged: the small, quiet moments of girlhood—the ones that seem ordinary—are often where God does His most beautiful work.    Three Things to Remember:    Get ahead of the boredom. Have simple, creative options ready and encourage your girl to take initiative in creating her own fun.   Respond with excitement, not frustration. Reframe boredom as an opportunity to grow creativity, resilience, and imagination.   Boredom is better together. Encourage your girl to connect with friends—shared creativity often leads to deeper relationships and joyful discovery.     Scriptures Referenced in This Episode:    Genesis 1:27   Psalm 19:1   Ecclesiastes 3:11  Visit raisinggodlygirls.com for more encouragement and faith-based parenting tools.        Learn how to find or start an American Heritage Girls Troop in your community at americanheritagegirls.org.       

Beltane has a reputation. Flowers, fire, sex, fertility. And yeah, all of that is there… but what does it actually mean in a modern witchy life?In this episode, we take the old idea of fertility and crack it open. Not just babies and crops, but creation in every form. The things you're building, the energy you're pouring into your life, the parts of you that are ready to grow whether you feel “ready” or not.We talk fire magick, that spark that gets things moving when you've been stuck too long, and how to work with it in a real, grounded way. There's knot magic you can actually do without overthinking it, and a look at the sacred woods of our region and how to connect with them in a way that feels alive and connected to the energies of place.We also walk through a Beltane tarot spread built like a balefire, so you can see what's fueling you, what's rising, and where all of this energy is actually going.And because it wouldn't be Beltane without it, we talk about the thinning veil, connecting with spirit, and how this season opens a very different kind of doorway than Samhain. Same threshold. Completely different energy.This one is about momentum. About choosing what you're growing on purpose. About lighting the match and actually letting something take hold.Got a question? Send the witches a message here!Support the showWant to send us a letter?

Susan Danenberger was diagnosed with Stage I breast cancer at 48, and again at 50 with Stage IV metastatic breast cancer (MBC). A fifth-generation farmer and winemaker, she owns Danenberger Family Vineyards in Central Illinois. In this episode, Susan reads her essay, “Rosé-Colored Glasses,” from the 2025 Body issue of Wildfire Journal. Her piece draws us into a deeply personal story of body image, beauty, and transformation after breast cancer—one that begins with stilettos and selfies, and unfolds into a powerful journey of reckoning and rebuilding. April and Susan will talk about autonomy in the context of cancer, trusting (and questioning) medical providers, seeing yourself through the eyes of others, and financial toxicity. They also discuss how connecting with other survivors at New York Fashion Week changed Susan's life.More about episode sponsor Young Survival Coalition: https://youngsurvival.org/Learn more about Susan:https://www.instagram.com/stilettosinthevineyard/https://danenbergerfamilyvineyards.com/Purchase the Body issue of Wildfire Journal: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/shop/p/print-body25Buy the Wildfire book Igniting the Fire Within: Stories of Healing, Hope & Humor, Inside Today's Young Breast Cancer Community: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BJVJ629F?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860Get the free Wildfire “Hot Flashes” email newsletter: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/newsletter?rq=newsletterLearn about Wildfire writing workshops: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/workshopsShop Wildfire merch & more: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/shop*Free* Get Wildfire and The Burn freebies here: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/freeMore about Wildfire Journal: https://www.wildfirecommunity.orghttps://www.instagram.com/wildfire_bc_magazine/https://www.facebook.com/wildfirecommunityInformation on submitting your story for consideration to be published in Wildfire Journal: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/submissions
