That’s how you write a headline, people.

Then you perceive the body of our kingdom How foul it is, what rank diseases grow, And with what danger, near the heart of it.

For years, officials in the Czech Republic had pushed a dam project to protect a river south of Prague, and the critically endangered species living in it. But the project stalled. In the meantime, the beavers of Prague simply built dams themselves, saving the government some 1.2 million euros.

I'd like to see more writing on how the Musk/Trump junta feels like a frontal attack on the entire concept of virtue, in even the most traditional senses. They are actively demonizing and punishing everyone who doesn't worship Mammon.

This NCA5 Art x Climate Gallery highlights the historical shoreline of San Francisco Bay. This environmental installation by Linda Gass uses ornamental grass and wood chip mulch to recreate the shoreline in a former landfill site. Read more: www.climate.gov/news-feature...

100% agree.

NOAA Officer Corps Coup is the funniest way this ends

Thank you @cestmoilanglois.bsky.social. And yes, I worked at NOAA for 30 years. Incredibly smart and thoughtful scientists and managers dedicated to the resources and people they serve.

In 1963 Gloria Richardson saw a National Guardsman's bayonet pointed at her & pushed it away like:"If you don't get that foolishness out of my face!"She led the Cambridge Nonviolent Action Committee,a grassroots movement in the Deep South. She died in 2021 at 99. Celebrate Black History 365.

Rough inventory of active theories of change for how we survive the present moment: 1. Deus ex machina 2. Actuarial tables 3. Internal opposition in the US mobilizes 4. Business Coup by different billionaires vs admin 5. Consequences of actions lead to mass mobilization 6. Harms mobilize voters

A strong federal commitment to implementing regional assessments, funded fisheries, and energy projects over the coming five to 10 years is necessary. Learn more:

Have you watched "Covenant of the Salmon People" yet? Its free to watch or find where to watch it in your area. For Wallowa Band peoples salmon made up around 50% of their diet. Keystone species like Pacific Lamprey & Salmon are still important today. #firstfoods covenantofthesalmonpeople.com/media

Solid message here from Jimmy Carter in 1977. Enjoying these bits of his legacy popping up the past few days. Can't help but speculate how other presidents would have worded this message.

RIP President Carter, who nailed our society’s foundational environmental problem: “Human identity is no longer defined by what one does, but by what one owns. But we’ve discovered that owning things and consuming things does not satisfy our longing for meaning.” 🌎 e360.yale.edu/features/jim...

“We asked conservation researchers to send us their best papers of 2024. They surprised us with some powerful and important science”, in The Revelator by @johnrplatt.bsky.social. therevelator.org/this-year-co...

I love learning about various human societies' legends and beliefs surrounding the Milky Way. Recently I learned about some Australian Aboriginal people who believed the galaxy was a river that souls crossed in a canoe, and the stars were their campfires along the river. Beautiful.

Sometimes something can be photoshopped & true at the same time.

I'm not saying it will be a good day, but when Donald Trump figures out that Republicans are taking their marching orders from Elon Musk instead of him, it will be an interesting day.

A humpback whale has made one of the longest and most unusual migrations ever recorded: It was seen in the Pacific Ocean off Colombia in 2017, then popped up several years later near Zanzibar in the Indian Ocean - a distance of at least 13,000 km bbc.com/news/article...

“A lot of people refuse to do things because they don’t want to go naked, don’t want to go without guarantee. But that’s what’s got to happen. You go naked until you die.” —Nikki Giovanni (Thanks to @kristenchapman.bsky.social for this one.)

A must-read: Patrick Chandler Brown — named after the PCB chemicals dumped in his community — purchased the plantation where his great-grandfather was enslaved and is in the process of transforming it to serve farmers like him

There’s no job I’m afraid to lose if it requires me to degrade anyone. If that’s a defining issue for a voter, there will be a different candidate. We have a bathroom in my office that anybody is welcome to use, including Representative-elect Sarah McBride.

Here's a video of Trump's Energy Secretary nominee Chris Wright, a fracking company CEO, in which he says: "There is no climate crisis" and that terms like clean energy, carbon pollution,etc "are nonsense terms that were made up by alarmists who oppose our industry." www.heritage.org/energy/event...
