Ok! Draft 2! I still don't know where the eff to send people for an *EASY! user friendly!!!* guide to where plant ranges. I may include a page 2 with a sample ranking of results, idk.

Really sad to see how the University of Arizona is treating Indigenous staff & students. UA have been leaders in Indigenous scholarship, but each iteration of new presidents and their staff who come in, not from the region, seem to not understand what a powerful asset these communities are.

The utter chaos of this video never fails to delight me. They all look like they're having so much fun! I miss that time when bands would make a video by inviting all their friends to a sound stage and messing around all day with piles of theatrical props and costumes and buckets of glitter

One visible impact of the illegal firing of NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab (GLERL) employees - no 2025 data updates for water quality in W Lake Erie, meaning no public info on the harmful algal blooms. We detected toxins in April, but we lost the folks who organize & report this data

What's next for river herring? 🌊🐟 After reproducing in freshwater rivers, adults head back to sea over the summer, juveniles in the fall. An educator tool on #teachertuesday: a fishy episode of NOAA Live! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uONrDwin5K0&list=PL1CGd4Scv4GICVRODGA8RRvzocNN1lL8H&index=18

Topography of the Ridge and Valley region in Pennsylvania; 3D views with #rayshader, one using an October 2019 NAIP image with the forest in fall color. Would have been great to use back when I taught a course where I talked about landscapes like this and their relationship to structure.

Put up this Beestra for #WorldBeeDay

Fam — here’s a nice overview of the 43 nationwide Cooperative Fish & Wildlife Research Units, which have been a lasting model for wildlife research since the 1930s, created by wildlife science pioneers such as Aldo Leopold & Ding Darling. 🐟🦌🦆🦃🦎 Link: wildlifemanagement.institute/outdoor-news...

Is there such a concept similar to parachute science/helicopter research but for large/national non-profits doing environmental engagement and outreach? Is anyone studying or talking about this? Is this just white saviorism or is there something else that is tied to where grants are at?

It’s World IBD Day! Here’s the writer who was diagnosed with 10 years ago. Here’s the book she wrote about chronic illness, generational trauma & communal care. 🥹

Trump's cuts to the National Weather Service will make hurricanes and tornadoes harder to predict, endangering countless lives & livelihoods. But NOAA does much more than that.

I just created a quick map depicting which portions of the United States are now (as of today) or will imminently be (by early June) without 24/7 local National Weather Service coverage (per Washington Post reporting). #CAwx #CAfire #CAwater #ORwx #AKwx #WYwx #KSwx

Nice to get out in the rain and plant plugs around the pool

✨6 MONTHS UNTIL RAVISHING COMES OUT✨ A weird time—the book is sort of out in the world, some people are reading it, and at the same time it feels like a secret. As this year passes it feels more and more real that soon she will belong to the people more than to me—but isn’t that why I wrote her? 💓

Gonna start begging Philly folks to stop claiming Pope Leo XIV, please for the love of…
