I understand there is some discourse currently going on about "clout" here on Bluesky and while I can understand why people can be focused on it and how to achieve it I must tell you my entire posting strategy is and always has been "This was in just in my brain and now it is your problem too"

I’m increasingly convinced that the love that powers long term climate action grows out of all the time we spend doing the things we love, in the places we love, with the people we love. Without that, what are we fighting for?

A5: For me, recharging means revisiting underlined passages in books by @angelastockman.bsky.social, @rebekahodell1.bsky.social, @nqcliteracy.bsky.social, and @mraleosays.bsky.social and feeling off-the-charts inspired! #theedcollab

This is concerning -- The percentage of Americans who acknowledge human activity as the primary driver of climate change hasn't budged in 5 years. Our steep partisan divide in the US is leaving many Americans in a state of denial. ncse.ngo/latest-publi... #ClimateSky #sciencedenial #polarization

Faculty don't just know things. They do things. This is why we should be thinking of the labor of teaching and research, not just the products and outcomes.
