How to Manage the Global Land Squeeze? Produce, Protect, Reduce, Restore By 2050, an area of land twice the size of India will be converted to agriculture. A four-pillared approach can ensure the world meets growing demand for food and fuel without destroying the environme...

The world is facing a global land squeeze as food, feed, fiber and fuel demand rises. How to manage it? 🧪

- PRODUCE more food and fiber sustainably on existing working lands
- PROTECT remaining natural ecosystems
- REDUCE waste and growth in demand for land-intensive goods
- RESTORE degraded lands

A coup is exactly what this is, which we would understand if it was happening in a different country: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

Omg that's amazing. I also had a huge insurance hit for my kids birth bc of this issue, but I just felt stupid and eventually paid it. It's great to know providers go to bat

Allegedly the bullet casings said, ""deny,” “defend” and “depose"

Which some have linked to this 2010 book: "Delay, Deny, Defend: Why Insurance Companies Don't Pay Claims and What You Can Do About It."

Former Amazon worker here; do not cross this picket line. Don't do it. Don't even order from them (unless absolutely necessary). They're a disgusting company to work for and the reason for my knee problems that required years of physical therapy.

Fuck Amazon. We stand with the workers! 👊🏻✨

Eating too much cake is the sin of gluttony. However, eating too much pie is okay because the sin of pi is always zero.

But these normalizing responses just cut to the quick ... It's so clear that our kids (and adults) are suffering long term harm... Yet PCPs are extending the pain tenfold by omission and lack of interest. They set up families for failure. This kind of thing tests the best relationships.

I really am happy that these questions are being asked, even whether a previous c19 infection in a 2 yo (too young for vaccine at the time) could lead to susceptibility to uris! Response: that's a specialist question. At least they said they didn't know and that new studies come out all the time.

Anyone else's significant other make a point of asking the family doctor about COVID risks, how many ppl they see with long COVID, and whether it's normal for kids to be sick over ten times per year and need antibiotics 3x per year? Answers: low, none, yes. Now they can claim I'm just anxious.

This is an amazing piece. Shocking (but unsurprising) to hear about big oil’s climate denial agenda and propaganda against climate change adaptation and mitigation. They need to be held to account, for misleading the public, hijacking policy-making, and delaying action against climate change.

roses are red

carnations are cool

however one thing that’s not so great is that we use ~30-40% of the US corn crop each year

to produce just ~5% of our country’s transport fuel

The report has ~400 beautiful figures and graphics. These are shareable (each has alt text you can copy and paste), downloadable, and reproducible via transparent metadata. They’re even available in powerpoint slides that can be dropped into your presentations. nca2023.globalchange.gov/all-figures/

Urgh. Global emissions are the highest in history.

-modest reductions in EU/US countered by growth in intl. aviation and India. Wildfires are adding to land use emissions. Coal, oil and gas are all up.

We've missed the junction for 1.5 and put our foot firmly on the accelerator.

Don’t use these six cinnamon products, FDA warns after concerning lead tests The FDA is putting manufacturers on notice to do more to keep contaminants out.

sometimes I just pause and reflect on how we don't regulate the $40+ billion supplement industry (for freedom and innovation for whatever), despite the fact they engage in behavior far worse than this, constantly, at massive scale

There's been lots of good threads lately on these themes. They help me, I hope they help you.

One of my favorite expressions on this is from Ursula K Le Guin

"You cannot buy the revolution. You cannot make the revolution. You can only be the revolution. It is in your spirit, or it is nowhere."

Artwork with a quote overlaid. The background is red, with tendrils of corn husks surrounding two corncobs of red and indigo, merged into a heart. On top of the heart, a quote: "No matter what they ever do to us, we must always act for the love of our people and the earth, rather than react out of the hatred of our oppressor." -John Trudell.

John Trudell lays down so much wisdom, he created guidelines and guardrails for holding pain while seeing beauty and continuing to act from love. ❤️❤️❤️ Sorry I don't know the artist, if you do lmk!

Tonight while speaking on the @workingfamilies.org mass call with 100k+ folks from across the country, my call to action to everyone, especially organizers, was to act in solidarity with disabled people by making their spaces accessible and wearing a mask. We can’t win without it.

Looking for inspiration with a sprinkling of shitposting. But mostly inspiration. Also, real info from investigative journalists and experts - that's nice too ✅
