Happy to see that thanks to my efforts our fake-busting programmes no longer clickbait people by asking whether it might be true - planting a doubt in the mind of whoever sees the headline but does not click - but make it clear from the very headline whether it’s a fake.

Getting (trad) published is a function of hard work and luck, mixed in proportions that you do not control. You can control how you work and how you learn craft, but please don't obsess over that which you can't change. I'll leave you with my father's maxim: "May luck find you working."

As an offshoot of this thread, let’s talk about what happens if federal, state, or local officials text, email, call, or show up at your door wanting to talk to you about what you said about the President. I have a theme, a thesis, a throughline, a leitmotif, which is SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH. /1

Lots of hard-working climate scientists are suddenly on the job market, thanks to DOGE so recklessly demolishing American science. Great job here for a climate scientist with data and communication skills who is ready to fight back! 🧑‍🔬💪

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

One of my biggest peeves is complaints that “nobody’s doing X.” First, you’re probably wrong. Lots of people are doing whatever X is—getting out on the streets, protesting, boycotting, changing consumer habits. Second, if you were right, you could literally do it. Be the first. Be a catalyst.

Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings

Maria Sibylla Merian was a great scientist and artist who combined her love for nature with scientific study. Her illustrations were revolutionary, revealing the life cycles of butterflies and other creatures at a time when such details were barely understood. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Times are bleak, it’s true. But people are still out here doing incredible work now, when it matters most. Activists in KY bought land slated for a new prison, and will now fill it with native plants and use it as an intertribal gathering location. 🌱🌎🧪🌿
