As a historian of Black history, every day for Black History Month I’ll be posting my favorite books on Black history and a link to the book to purchase if possible. Day 5 is Black Rice by Judith Carney #BHM

A line graph showing atmospheric CO2 levels at Mauna Loa Observatory from 1955 to 2025. The y-axis represents CO2 mole fraction in parts per million (ppm), ranging from 320 to 420 ppm, while the x-axis is years.

The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii.

@noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

Wow RFK Jr. just perjured himself on live tv

Can you proudly say the same?! 🤚

This little witch here…

A pardoned J6er, Matthew W. Huttle, 42, of Hobart, Indiana, was shot and killed in Jasper County during a traffic stop yesterday.

This happened after an "altercation took place between the suspect and the officer, which resulted in the officer firing his weapon and fatally wounding the suspect."

A little wolf action to start your week off with, enjoy! Wild gray wolf photographed on a beautiful, cold snowy day (in other words, not this winter).

Fifty years ago, a transport revolution started in #Zürich.

#Switzerland rejected urban freeways. Zurich decided not to build a metro. It began building an S-Bahn commuter train network.

And they gave *absolute* priority to trams over cars in center of Zurich.

Elon Musk's Trans Daughter Epically Calls Out His Nazi-Like Salute At Trump Inauguration She's not wrong.

Exactly.

Sad, but I’m not sad for them. Many of them don’t even go to Coral Springs bc it’s outside of Parkland. They have everything delivered. That blew my mind.

Ok so you’re close to me. I’m in west Tamarac. I used to go to a mom group in Parkland and had to give it up because it was absolutely RIDICULOUS how they act! Keep in touch.

But when you block them they act like YOU’RE so unreasonable and hateful. I’m in Ft. Lauderdale and we are blue. Miami isn’t even 20 min away and it’s red. The differences are glaring and like you, I just block and move on.

This is the face of courage and compassion. Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for speaking truth to power on behalf of the marginalized.

Apologist gaslighting will be blocked.

Trump rescinded Biden's Executive Order to lower prescription drug costs for Americans, which will be devastating for tens of millions of people.

We need to stay focused on issues like that—not on the shiny, offensive distractions like Elon's weird salute.

Good morning, BlueSky friends. Let’s have a wonderful day 💙💙💙

I was looking for you!!! Glad I found you here!
