If you're struggling financially due to government fuckery or for any reason really and you need infant formula talk to your pediatrician we can hook you up and don't like to ask questions.

Did your child lose their book collection in the Los Angeles fires? Are you a teacher at a school that lost its library or your classroom library? Whether you need one book or a whole library, we can replace your books. 📚

Everyone else, please boost this post so we can connect with those in need. 🙏

Warming stripes for 1850-2024, changing from blues to reds as the world rapidly warms up

The data is in. 2024 was the warmest year on record, and probably in the whole of human history – about 1.6°C warmer than the pre-industrial period.

More than 1 billion individual thermometer measurements, made by thousands of people over many decades, have been condensed into a single number.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

At Obvious Ventures, we invest in three main areas: Planetary, Economic, and Human Health. Human Health means products and services that lead to healthier lives. By strengthening these systems, we anticipate a future of proactive health, better care, and more consumer choice. #worldpositive

I’ve been obsessed with Saturn lately, I mostly blame SZA

Here’s something to think about as you kick off 2025: ✨We are all stardust.✨

Every atom of oxygen in our lungs, of carbon in our muscles, of calcium in our bones, of iron in our blood—was created inside a star before Earth was born.

It was another stunning year for global climate and weather extremes.

As data is processed and released in the first two weeks of January, you are going to be hearing all about these new historical records. Apologies for my many graphs in advance! 😬

Adler in Chicago is one of the best!

Even better, 2100. It’ll be a conference of toddlers and 5 year olds.

My Persian is the exact same way. He even noticed the time change earlier this month and recruited the dog to join in his demands. They’ve unionized 😂

Yes please!

Yes please!
