This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

I haven't really started to join any of the public protests yet. Thought I'd wait just another week or two til doge cuts my nonprofit federally supported job promoting good agriculture -- I'll have so much more time!

Terrifying headline and one more reason for all of us who believe in public/shared/inclusive/representative space (including spaces for public discourse) need to gird for battle. Because SWFs can be used for good: "Keep public lands in public hands," www.americanprogress.org/article/trum...

President Sheinbaum put this out several days ago, but it's so good, and such a sweet antidote to lack of resistance elsewhere, I had to post it here for anyone who hasn't heard the whole thing www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VqA...

For the love of all that is good in this world do NOT buy books from Amazon. Cancel your Amazon accounts. Go to the Library (in person or online ebooks!) and support local bookstores instead. Please #BookSky don’t be ambivalent

The Navajo Nation has received proposals for hotels, gondolas, etc. in the heart of the longest contiguous wilderness in the U.S., with most profit going off-reservation to non-indigenous companies. Now, members have a proposal to permanently protect the confluence as sacred. May it succeed!

I haven't finished this book yet, but so far it's fitting company for this dark moment. Nayler's world is an appropriately dystopian one, especially its imagining of corporate AI off the rails, but his creative mind-expanding writing on our top-down, mind-body divide is the perfect antidote.🐙

I think a lot about story and narrative -- you know, how we tell the same ones over and over, but different. I keep thinking about how we tell ecological stories via the narrative of "great thinker" or "keystone species" and "amazing discovery." Anyone else see the problem there?

Good morning Bluesky. I'm so happy to have this social media space. Let's keep it interesting and beautiful! As an undisciplined geographer, I am here to share the excitement I feel from grounding myself in unremarkable places, and then listening to them tell me how truly remarkable they really are.

$1,131,794,901 That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns. Well, the planet is burning. Don't let them look away.

Paris reduced the speed limit on its périphérique ring highway from 70 km/h to 50 km/h (44 to 31 mph) in October. The first major impact? A significant reduction in noise in the surrounding areas, particularly at night and on weekends/holidays (orange line). www.bruitparif.fr/l-impact-aco...
