In case you missed it: 2024 was the world's warmest year since @noaa.gov records began in 1850.

Global surface temperature was 2.32Β°F (1.29Β°C) above the 20th-century average. The 10 warmest years since 1850 have all occurred in the past decade.

Wednesday, January 15, 2025 β€” On the ground in the Los Angeles fires Β» Native America Calling Wildfires in Los Angeles have killed at least 24 people and destroyed thousands of homes. The traditional homelands of the Tongva and Chumash people, among others, is now home to the largest urban Nat...

Native American Calling episode on how Natives are affected by the fires, ways Natives can prepare for disasters, how to support Natives, and fighting misinformation about the fires. The clip from the right wing pundit was infuriating.

Where is capitalism in psychology? This is an excellent, compelling piece: "While psychologists have explored capitalist ideologies like neoliberalism, they often overlook capitalism’s core foundations driving inequality."

I appreciate all of you who use the Alt-text description for the images you post. As a blind dude I feel so much more included here.

For those of you who forget:
Did you know there’s a reminder in Settings/Accessibility to toggle on & then it won’t let you post image without Alt-text.

Thanks πŸ™πŸ˜Ž
