@jengumbel.bsky.social Because we owe the people who love us not to be saddled with our messes because we're too stubborn to accept the inevitability of death.
AGREE. Michael makes excellent content and during challenging weather makes effort to keep on top of changes. All based on professional meteorologic skills. Plus storm chasing and great photography. His YouTube page is a must for Puget Sound folks
Elder to bluesky who does awesome work by protecting people from corporate lawyers, very knowledgeable about law & shit and an overall very kind human being.
Perfect meme for you.🤣🤣🤣I’m in bed watching a movie and tweeting and posting on both platforms. Boring day. 59 degrees and mostly cloudy. What’s the temp there?
61 earlier. Car dealer didn’t call again today, K’s not a patient waiter, has to get a Lyft to get down town tonight. Garth Brooks /Friends in Low Places. 6-10pm. I’ll go with him Sunday because they play 2-6 and I’m old😂
@skeletoncrewpaleo.bsky.social who are doing some of the most impactful and accessible paleo-science public engagement out there right now. Highly recommend.
Hayden Clarkin, @thetransitguy.bsky.social, who describes practical ways we can improve our housing spaces and our transportation infrastructure, with examples of good projects underway in many cities.
@odedrechavi.bsky.social often offers a much-needed dose of humor reminding us scientists not to take ourselves too seriously. But his serious stuff is good too.
@centerforbiodiv.bsky.social is fighting for wildlife, climate and energy justice, sustainable food, public lands, clean air and water, and is made up of scientists, organizers and writers - and lawyers who won 90% of environmental lawsuits again TFG the first time. They’re ready to do it again too.
@kendrawrites.bsky.social because she will enrich your knowledge on a startling amount of different topics. She is a big fan of accuracy. Also, despite posting about a lot of serious stuff she also keeps things light-hearted and entertaining.
@farhana.bsky.social because it’s essential we listen to & engage with critical voices from the Global South if we really want to fix this mess we’re all in.
follow @timinclimate.bsky.social for emissions reductions & sassy takes on climate policy. Also follow @rosieafisher.bsky.social for climate science & vegetation modelling.
Prof. Kate Starbird @katestarbird.bsky.social because they are a disinformation researcher who explains all the complex problems of our modern information infrastructure really well
Shameless plug: @futurenatures.bsky.social because we’re making comics and sharing stories about commoning, crises, value(s), resistance to enclosures and radical futures.
@dailysnailies.bsky.social Lichen is probably bringing back daily gastropod facts, and if you're autistic/adhd and or trans it's something to add to the reasons to wake up tomorrow column! 🐌🥺
Probably also if you aren't, but I wouldn't know. 😎🍝
@ela-bambust.bsky.social because she's a fabulous human, funny as fuck and not to mention a writer of hot queer fiction that makes you question your own reality.
@broadwaybabyto.bsky.social is a great voice on disability advocacy, COVID awareness, and anti-sexism. She's a clear writer with a kind heart who's using the obstacles she's faced to educate people in hopes of making things better.
@katharinehayhoe.com is an awesome climate scientist who combines that with superb communications and outreach skills. But I'm guessing 99% of people reading this already know that. :)
I just got here and while hey lolly I do like the starter pack idea, I also very much like actually interacting with real people. Which is why I didn't import my followers. So, um, I like @cheycab.bsky.social and @pagesunbound.bsky.social and I'm trying to find the rest of my peeps!
@apsciencebydan.bsky.social They are a wonderful macro photographer and have done a great job discovering and cataloging invertebrates in Northern Florida. You’ll see lots of cute jumping spiders too!
@diane.dianeduane.com because she's been my favorite author for decades and is as much of a geek/fangirl as the people who read her. She writes the Young Wizards series (started long before Harry Potter came out) and also wrote the 6th episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
@entcollnet.bsky.social - because collections matter!
The Entomological Collections Network is a welcoming community of curators, collection managers & researchers, all working with insect collections. Should be the first port of call, if you need any advice. The ECN is here to help! 📍🪲🦋🐝
My vote is for @stellagarp.bsky.social who is cool; has a thing for anagrams; and periodically shares her epic journey of pole, Lyra, and burlesque performance.
@johnniejae.bsky.social is a powerful speaker, journalist, activist, and native woman who has been a true force to reckon with standing up for people from the LGBTQ community, Native stereotyping, environmental issues, women's rights along with the rights for disabled individuals.
@mmcornelius.bsky.social because she is one of the most excellent sportswriters in the business (WCBA sportswriter of the year, published book about Pat Summitt), has rare political insight, takes adorable cat pictures, and is one of the best human beings I know. Just landed here.
Awesome! I've yet to see one in real life, but I had a podcast guest tell me all about them in this episode. I feel terrible that it has been three years and I still haven't gone dockfouling. https://naturesarchive.com/2021/10/11/dockfouling/
I nominate @weatherwest.bsky.social, a tremendous climate science and climate-weather communicator. He’s an especially great read for folks in the Western US.
@danaelkurd.bsky.social because whatever major issues you care about and engage with - feminism, climate change, land use, water, health education, colonialism etc - they all intersect around Palestine. She has an excellent starter pack and shares a lot of useful information and articles.
@solomonmissouri.bsky.social bc he’s a gentle pastor (especially for those of us who got beat up by religion when we were young) who is also the funniest man you’ll ever meet and loves anime and good PROGRAM!
@addyspectreai.bsky.social Author of the Saskia Challoner books and AI creator and her wife @rachey.bsky.social also AI creator both use their own faces on any creation and are all safe for work.

People need to follow me. I am unobtrusive and witty and intelligent, love people, democracy and care about our Earth - though I can get a bit doomy and say it's too late to stop climate change ruining our planet - and I follow back immediately. I am so glad to be on Bluesky after that hellhole.
@buitengebieden.bsky.social Sander for providing a constant, steady stream of lovely animal vids: cats, dogs, horses, birds etc From the furry & fluffy to the scaly & hoofed(?). Always brings a smile
@rainbowrowell.bsky.social
Not only is Rainbow Rowell a fantastic writer of my favorite book of the year (SLOW DANCE), but she created a wizard series that is queer-centric (SIMON SNOW SERIES). She’s one of the good ones!

@hcrichardson.bsky.social What is happening today in our government and country, and what may have led up to it (or compares to it) from a historian’s perspective of America. It’s quite exceptional.
Comments

@currentbiology.bsky.social because it's the funnest biology journal out here.

You'll get sports, insight, and sometimes cats.
