If you're a scientist and you've been asked to cut words like "climate" or "resilience" from your proposals + papers, I want to know. I'm documenting how often this is happening, whether it's self-censorship or directives from above, etc. I will keep you anonymous. I'm on Signal at annakramer.54

✨Wow✨ This article is peaceful, immersive, and deeply reflective about our changing landscape. It challenges our self-centric view of time and future uncertainty, inviting us to step back and consider what it means to live within Earth’s ongoing story🌍 The piece is also beautifully read as audio🎧

“Just as the accumulation of scars and lines on my body reveals the history of my life, so the elements of an ecosystem reveal the history of a place—if we only learn to read them.” @ericajberry.bsky.social Read this week's new essay from Volume 5: Time, “The Fault of Time.” buff.ly/43l7ftT

What does it mean to love a place that is in constant change? Grappling with the impermanence of landscape, made evident in Montana’s wildfires and the Cascadia earthquake, @ericajberry.bsky.social tries to hold shifting lands she is rooted in. Read “The Fault of Time.” buff.ly/43l7ftT
