Uncle Jim thinks this might be an American goshawk. My sister spotted it while we were walking through the neighbourhood this afternoon. Right after taking this shot it flew right over me.

I find it funny they say "could create". Is this not a fait accompli? I don't know, didn't read article behind paywall.

I wonder how much attention this interesting angle gets.

Excluded from local Arts Festival, further isolating @joeyonly.bsky.social , he writes this heartfelt song oozing with fresh pain. youtu.be/ttcsmw8CBiI?...

This is understatedly informative.

Lot's to do and think about on this sunny Sunday in April. youtu.be/p1SjVCYUIwk?...

“The point of protest is not to call for more legitimate rules or rulers, but to demonstrate that we can act on our own strength, encouraging others to do the same and discouraging the authorities from interfering.” contagious disobedience

something to look forward to perhaps? 😬

Heads Up Actionistas!

"... eco-activists, social justice activists, global justice activists, street medics, herbalists, permaculturalists, mutual aid , black liberation, community organizers, and others who are actively organizing around supporting disaster survivors in a spirit of mutual aid and solidarity."

This is an interesting mix of clear, definitive language - the crisis is now, the emergency is here, and the "if" statements at the end. I wonder why he chose to change the tone. see my pinned post for explanation of my "if" peeve and it's likely origin

Given that the inhabitants of Earth would be dependent on the same political/economic systems and leadership, that brought us to our polycrises, advocating for them to invent and deploy global scale geoengineering is ridiculous. We are F****D no matter how one slices it.

emotions are deservedly hot right now, but keep it tight out there, y’all

Regarding this, as well as climate. No ifs, &s or buts about it. We're in the shit. Thanks Avian and Loaded, I was struggling to describe why this bothered me so.

WHY do people keep saying "if they can"? FFS, they have done. IT'S HAPPENING.

But we should wait for a 20 year moving average before declaring 1.5°C has been breached permanently. Right Mr, Mann?

NO SHIT! this was all VERY apparent months ago. duh! Maybe before it's entirely too late someone can put ALL the puzzle pieces together. However, I'm not holding my breath if this comes across as a revelatory scoop. #journalism

"What is clear is that deep-sea mining on a commercial scale will begin soon somewhere."

"... we need to reckon with the reality that we are not up against adversaries we have seen before. We are up against end times fascism."

Having once over-wintered on Great Slave Lake in a houseboat I found the part about the loud rumbling in the ice especially interesting. An ominous sound it is. Now I am curious if the Dene have any tales or legends similar.

I think about 25% of my followers are because of this doomer starter pack. Thanks Professor!

Also, not 'could' but 'will'. Wait, ... "Because humanity failed to reverse the impacts of climate change, Earth faces mass extinction event ..."

MM replied to mine with something about 20 year moving average / trendlines. I replied for clarification but he just repeated same, then said it didn't matter. I pointed out that repeating the same non-answer was not actually helpful for lay-people like myself. so, of course I was blocked. LOL.
