he was a National Park biologist whose job was to make their wildlife work more efficient using AI, drones, and other technology. so to be terminated by a tech mogul under the guise of "government efficiency" was a cruel and bitter irony today's op-ed in @atmosmagazine.bsky.social 🌎🧪

Our National Parks need our support! @altnps.bsky.social 🌎🐺🦅❤️ @jasonchin.bsky.social

They’re working on criminalizing librarianship. This is just Iowa but there’s others. All because parents don’t want to parent their own children, but they do want to parent everyone else’s kids. #skybrarian #📚🦋 bookriot.com/iowa-rushes-...

Our parks are in chaos. We’ve seen firsthand how Trump’s hiring freeze, the rescinding of hundreds of job offers, and the layoff of 5% of NPS staff have left us overwhelmed and short-handed.

The 50501 Movement has planned protests at all 50 state capitols and the U.S. Capitol on Presidents’ Day at noon. While mainstream media isn’t covering it, many YouTubers have stepped up to provide coverage.

Another fantastic list from Betsy Bird. This one overlaps the Science & Nature list a bit, but the added biographies flesh out these nonfiction reads: afuse8production.slj.com/2024/12/28/3...

Betsy Bird has once again created a fantastic reading list of young Science & Nature Books. Bring the list to your library or bookstore and read them ALL. #kidlit #STEAM #STEM #nature afuse8production.slj.com/2024/12/25/3...

The Endangered Species Act was signed into law on this day in 1973. For 51 years, it has helped preserve plants & wildlife for future generations. We're thankful for the species this law has helped recover & save, from the bald eagle to island fox. #EndangeredSpeciesAct #wildlife #kidlit #science 🌎
