How Ukrainian publishers are fighting to survive https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/international/international-book-news/article/91178-ukrainian-publishers-fight-on.html

I feel sick and embarrassed even asking, particularly around the holidays, and I wouldn't be if I had any other option but I really don't see any right now. I'm out of heating oil I've been heating my house with space heaters for the past 2 days and I need to get 100 gallons of oil but I just don't have the money to do it. If anyone can help, I would be beyond grateful. I can give the name of my oil company, if people are more comfortable with that. #CoSoMutualAid

A smaller organisation that runs solely on donations is based in Kyiv. Volunteers risk their lives on a daily basis to save abandoned and orphaned animals from war zones, re-unite them with their humans, or find them new homes:

HiPOD 16 Dec 2022: A Patchy Outcrop of Light-Toned Materials

This observation targets patchy exposures of light-toned outcrops. These materials may be chloride bearing. Erosion appears to have cut through the entirety of the light-toned materials, which should allow probing of the stratigraphic context, thickness and any possible internal layering of these materials.

HiPOD 15 Dec 2022: Hearts in Atlantis, Dunes in Hellas

Scientists on the HiRISE team take multiple pictures of the same dune fields on the Red Planet to see if they can detect subtle changes that would indicate if the dunes are moving. Some Martian dune fields do shift and move under the present day environmental conditions, but at a rate that is typically much slower than dunes move on Earth.

HiPOD 8 Dec 2022: Pristine with Gullies

We call this 7-kilometer diameter crater “pristine” because while it is old, the rim is fairly sharp and not very eroded. The science goal for this observation is to investigate the topography of the east-facing wall, pictured here, where gullies and mantling deposits transition to the normal crater wall.
