Happy 21st of September 🎉….do you remember?

Incredible album 💕

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading.

Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own.

Just. Keep. Reading.

Another step backwards for the US and a win for China who are surpassing us in renewable energy, technology and development. USA should absolutely have a stake in our portfolio for renewables. Shouldn’t be a problem to support a variety of energy sources.

How far CBS News has fallen since the days of Walter Cronkite (RIP).

Arizona's San Pedro River is being sucked dry. Yesterday, one of its main monitoring wells dried up, violating a court order guaranteeing water minimums.

Dire implications for myriad endangered species & millions of neo-tropical songbirds that depend on it.

Another filler/crutch in conversation is “you know.” It’s repeatedly used and you know… irksome!

😆

Eff this 😠

1912 - it’s there in black & white!

But 110 YEARS LATER governments subsidised the fossil fuel industry to the tune of $7 TRILLION!

Billions of people will die not because climate collapse is unavoidable, but because elites decided our lives are less important than fossil fuel profits.

My subscription to Criterion Channel is non-negotiable. I must have it today, tomorrow… and for the rest of my life.

WE DON'T NEED NUCLEAR REACTORS ON THE MOON!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

Great news. I see solar panels going up over public parking spots here in Calif, (i.e. the local high school). Shading the water supply w/ solar panels seems like a good move/idea.

Our national parks, monuments, and public lands are treasures that protect nature, wildlife, and clean water for future generations. But right now, some leaders want to hand these precious places over to corporate polluters for drilling and mining.

Well. Tulip is awake

At the moment, mansion-sized Asteroid 2024-YR4 has a one-in-fifty chance of hitting Earth in the next eight years.

Now might be a bad time to reduce spending on Science. Just sayin’.

A herd of bison stretching off into the distance on a snowy prairie.

Bison should be allowed to roam free and cattle should be restricted to private land.
All abandoned barbed wire should be removed from public land.
The money today being wasted on public lands grazing should go into building wildlife overpasses and installing wildlife safe guide fencing.
