Enough is enough. It was enough on day zero, it is day 251.

"Health losses attributed to anthropogenic climate change," a brief communication in the journal Nature Climate Change. There's a map showing regions of the world, and pie charts of relevant studies as they apply to different health impacts like "heat-related deaths" and "maternal and child health"

🚨 NEW: Climate change is already causing 30,000 deaths per year - a global annual economic loss of $100-350B USD - but the true damage is probably 10x higher. Out TODAY in Nature Climate Change: the first systematic look at the science of "health impact attribution" 🔓 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Urban planning success story. It can be done!

Trump officials plan to remove protections on 2 million acres of national forests in Oregon • Oregon Capital Chronicle Rescinding the 2001 Roadless Rule would open up 58 million acres of national forest land across the country to logging and development.

The Trump Administration is undoing protections for 60 million acres of pristine wilderness across the country, including 2 million right here in Oregon. This is an incredibly shortsighted and backward decision.

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

If she says inappropriate one more time, Beetlejuice will appear

Yep. We are flying blind toward many disasters

Stop using MAXENT for invasive niche modeling. Instead embrace mechanisms. Check out this great review on mechanistic niche models for invasives from ‪@erolafenollosa.bsky.social‬ in ‪@ecography.bsky.social‬ 🌐 #ecology #invasivespecies nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

I’m teaching a class in which my students learn how to put together a research proposal. I was wondering if any of you have any successful proposals that wouldn’t mind sharing with me so I can use it as an example in class? It doesn’t matter what year they were approved or where. Thank you!! 🌎🗺️🌍

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

We can agree to disagree, but I will share the document that convinced me:

Figure showing connections among human-wildlife interactions, human health, human responses, wildlife health, and all in the context of environmental health

Our framework posits that human-wildlife interactions affect human health, and these health risks and benefits inform how humans respond and manage wildlife. These actions can affect wildlife health, affecting future rates of HWI. All in the context of environmental health and resource availability

Flippable Reps Fax Numbers

Someone made this list of the reps that are publicly on the fence. Call these ones, even if they are not in your district!

Hope you feel better soon! I still remember when I got stung by one, cant imagine 10!! 😣

From the law community on Reddit: Abrego Garcia v. Noem amended complaint - detailing his torture at CECOT. Posted by BitterFuture - 9,533 votes and 523 comments

Read about how Abrego Garcia was treated at CECOT. A Frigging horror story of abuse.

Communities need to start a pool, buy all the Meal team six shit off Amazon, all the fake ice shit, the masks etc, then go out and intervene.

Cause confusion, create fog and friction, find the opportunity and rush in and rescue the innocent being kidnapped then retreat with high point coverage.

Godspeed to the ~800 probationary NOAA employees who filed a class-action lawsuit on Monday after being unjustly terminated months ago.

These are real people, not numbers—scientists, public servants, dedicated workers. They didn’t deserve this ruthless attack on their careers & livelihoods.

But there's a human administrator/bureaucrat somewhere with authority whose job is to disburse those funds and instead they're following an illegal order by not sending it through. We need the federal bureaucrats to stop enabling this nonsense and follow the law.

Those stating that AI is doing good for the world: it's single-handedly derailing any headway we've made towards renewable energy and leading us faster into a catastrophe.

Trump threatens Tillis with primary challenge The president sent his Truth Social attack just hours after the North Carolina senator opposed proceeding with his megabill.

Tom Tillis was against Medicaid cuts, so Trump is threatening to primary him.

It’s a scam. The budget bill is a shell game we will lose.

Will the Senate Save NIH? Rescuing biomedical research is every bit as important as saving Medicaid.

It seems that only the science community is noticing that NIH and NSF budgets are cut 40% and 55% in the budget bill, respectively. If you live in Maine, West Va, Pennsylvania, Alabama, or Louisiana, CALL YOUR SENATOR as they could make a difference. See below.
