We will never solve the climate crisis and biodiversity loss under capitalism. This much is clear.

Let’s reduce carbon and material footprints by decommodifying the commons and limiting ourselves to planetary boundaries 🌎

The climate crisis/biodiversity loss are rooted not only on capitalism, but on the radical prometheanism that Europe spread through colonialism and conquest.

We should promote ecosocialist development through integration with our biomes.

Distancing ourselves from nature clearly didn't work

The US is a terrorist state. War is fundamental to their existence in a way that is alien to most other countries

It behaves erratically and should not be trusted.

Time for Latin America and BRICS to wake up

#AvatarFireAndAsh is great and caught me off guard a few times

This is Jim Cameron getting trippy and esoteric 8/10 ⭐

Just take me back to Pandora 🌎

Language remains the most profound technology we humans ever developed because its implication is that our mind is shared

Absolutely! Hard to understand why people do this…

In a way the Bone Wars era never really ended

Stromatolites everywhere 🪨

These columnar ones are 2+ billion years old and were used as floor coverings #precambrian #paleontology

RIP Dr Jane Goodall 🐒

Glad I had the chance to see her delivering a message of hope in person a couple years ago back

Stunning amber deposits hold insects from the time of the dinosaurs A sand quarry in Ecuador has yielded South America’s first amber with bio-inclusions, including a spider's web and a collection of mosquitoes, beetles, flies, wasps and biting midges that lived 112 million years ago

First ever skull from ‘Denisovan’ reveals what ancient people looked like Ancient proteins and calcified dental plaque identify heavy-browed fossil from China as a Denisovan.

Denisovans finally have a face 💀

This is huge! #paleoanthropology

Triste é aquele que, dentro do sistema capitalista, busca um trabalho com função social

Anatomical description and systematics of a new notosuchian (Mesoeucrocodylia; Crocodyliformes) from the Quiricó Formation, Lower Cretaceous, Sanfranciscana Basin, Brazil Notosuchians comprise a clade of mostly terrestrial crocodyliforms generally found in Cretaceous Gondwanan deposits. They evolved into many forms and some species show convergences with mammalian f...

🚨Croc paper alert!

Please welcome Thilastikosuchus scutorectangularis 🐊, the oldest notosuchian from South America and the first crocodyliform from the Sanfranciscana Basin, Brazil!

Happy to be part of this team. Huge thanks to Joyce for being invited to collaborate! #paleontology

Thanks Marcos!

Essa obsessão do governo com a margem equatorial é o “drill, baby, drill” da centro-esquerda brasileira

Estamos em 2025, passando de 1.5C, a todo vapor rumo a 3C e os caras falando de enriquecer com óleo

Uma esquerda ecossocialista é urgente! #emergênciaclimática

Needless to say a US occupation of Palestine is yet another war crime…

It is a sovereign nation and belongs to Palestinians only 🇵🇸

Deepseek is actually excellent news for the climate 🌎

Big tech was all in into building massive new data centers with the equivalent energy and water usage of entire countries.

Some crazy mfs were talking about burning even more coal to power new models

It is obvious now that we don’t need this

Viva a América Latina 🇨🇴🇲🇽🇵🇦🇧🇷!

Deported Brazilians reported being handcuffed, beaten, choked and some received death threats by American agents during the flight, even within Brazilian air space

This ain’t the 20th century anymore. Trump is in for a surprise if he thinks this will happen without a response…

Remember the early 2010s, when the space/science community on the internet was filled with re-edited Cosmos videos, awesome science songs by Melodysheep and healthy amounts of skepticism?

You know you’re in trouble when Carl Sagan is replaced by Elon Musk …
