I’m so sorry they suck. I enjoy your posts. I’m not as active here but I follow you because you are a thoughtful, interesting person with a unique perspective.

I can personally guarantee that this project (to build affinity groups to support diverse ornithologists) is still moving forward in the hope that crowdfunding will replace the NSF funding (I just got out of a monthly meeting for the queer Flock leadership).

We still need your fundraising help!

NOAA terminates space, climate and marine life advisory committees Experts caution the groups play a key role in ensuring agencies use the best available science in their decision making.

The federal advisory committee I served on to advise NOAA on management of living marine resources has been shut down. It was established in 1971 and has advised ten presidential administrations of both parties. www.govexec.com/management/2...

Crowds are massive in Silver Spring, Maryland…the home of NOAA. People chanting, “Save NOAA Now!” and “We will not weather the storm.” Make your voices heard and keep it up. #NOAA #NWS Severe Weather is on its Way. And so is hurricane season. 🌀 🧪

Someone said they were going to report me to my supervisor 😂😂🤣

Go talk to my boss. You mean the thing that stirs beneath me, created when they destroyed a black town and turned the land into water and thought the past wouldn’t mind. Good luck with that.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.

You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.

My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.
