📢 The Galapagos rail has been rediscovered on Floreana Island in the Galapagos after almost two centuries! Long-term monitoring programs are ESSENTIAL for the conservation and recovery of endangered species. 🌍🪶🧪 #ornithology @darwinfoundation.bsky.social www.darwinfoundation.org/en/news/all-...

why did we recently watch the fictionalized version of this in the latest star wars mini series skeleton crew 😬

even with COVID being a mass disabling event over the last five years, there’s still so much internalized ableism we need to overcome. no one is exempt from sickness.

Gun violence is unfortunately not unique to America. In this disputed part of East Africa suffering disproportionately from climate change, one doctor reports treating two gun wounds a month, nearly all from pastoral conflicts 👇🏽

and they said that the battery market was supposed to be one of the secure ones…

two things that have carried me through sickness this week 1. amazing lunar new year cookie box (ikik i should probably not be eating sweets rn but whatever). 2. rot chicken soup w my favorite veggies: daikon & wintermelon 🥺

i made this adorable bb sweater!! So excited for the Coloring Book Mini to be out in the world soon 🥺

This is an economic Coup d'etat. Don't be afraid to say that in your communities and to your family members etc... This is what's unfolding.

some good climate ag news? and they buried the lede that field tests were done in china so you know that rice is likely tasty, and…lnon-GMO, high-yield variety with a lower environmental impact.”

⬇️ important thread for my fiber people. working to help a small business survive in this hellscape is by no means easy but we are here.

1. BREAKING Several of Elon Musk’s associates installed at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) — including two recent high school graduates — have received unprecedented access to federal human resources databases containing sensitive personal information for millions of federal employees.

It occurs to me, for no reason in particular, that I should put this starter pack back in circulation go.bsky.app/3h6n3YC

Have fun with your 10% more expensive gas. Thank you know who. Oh, and most of your electricity comes from Canada too, for many states. Oops.

This isn’t going to go well. #TrumpsTariffs

It's actually theft of taxpayers money when websites go dark. We paid for that data

*everything is connected* a simple breakdown 🧵 from @lissaharris.bsky.social on why NYC’s clean energy transition will now be 100x harder despites our ambitious policies i.e., NY clean power and NYC climate mobilization acts.

Pretty simple to say that Musk purchased the Presidency and is acting accordingly. It happens to also have the benefit of being true.

what an extremely depressing watch list 🫣

Definitely a good idea to send Costco positive feedback for their DEI commitments, but also bear in mind that their union has voted to authorize a strike that may start as soon as 2/1. If you’re going to call, ask them to give the Teamsters everything they’re asking for, too!

If you were wondering if you should call Costco--see below:

I used to work for an elected official as the person who answered their emails. I can tell you from personal experience, if even twenty or thirty people all call an official in a day, they start panicking. This stuff does help.

Howl's Moving Castle is probably the best movie about a disaster twink who hates being a contractor for Raytheon

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽‍💻

I feel that if you cannot accurately state the price of your weekly grocery bill, you are not competent enough to be in representative government. One problem with the oligarchy making the rules is that they have no connection with the reality of day to day people.

here’s a timeline cleanse with my recent fibery things this week. 🪧 started spinning after owning this Shetland fiber+drop spindle for 2 years 🧶 started new shawl project! pink of course #PoetShawl

Every year, the World Economic Forum at Davos reports on the consensus of risks facing the world. In the short-term, it's DISINFORMATION. Long-term, it's CLIMATE CHANGE. And, guess what, they're linked!

One day after the White House environmental justice website went dark, please join me in welcoming the father of environmental justice to Bluesky. Yes, sociologist @drrobertbullard.bsky.social literally defined the concept in his 1990 book, Dumping in Dixie: Race, Class and Environmental Quality.

The antidote for despair is action ❤️ * Dial (202) 224-3121 * Enter zip code * Leave voicemail * Say “My name is ___, I’m a constituent in [town]. (If clinician/scientist, say so) “The NIH freeze harms research and patients and must be lifted immediately.” Be brief. Staffers tally all calls. Go! ✅
