Frosty faces on the chickadees today. These tiny birds maintain a body temperature of 40C - that's a 70C gradient across only a few centimeters from the outside air to the bird's core! These little guys blow my mind. #birds ๐ŸŒฟ

Re: Artemis.
I don't care about Moon missions. I don't care about Mars missions. I care about tackling climate change and safeguarding the future for our species and global ecology. The priorities of government funding bodies are incomprehensible to me.

The Trump administration says it will dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research, a cornerstone for American climate and weather science. I went on NPR today to explain what this could mean for climate research.

Save NCAR from being dismantled today! The Trump Administration has vowed to dissolve the center that provides critical extreme weather and climate data for our nation.

If you are in the US and you would like to send a message to your elected representative about the proposed dissolution of the National Center for Atmospheric Research, @agu.org makes it easy with a template here: agu.quorum.us/campaign/151... #AGU25

Some people on BlueSky are very upset at me for posting this. They're claiming it's all sensationalist lies, and that I'm trying to make trans people scared. That's really upsetting because everything I said below is true. Labour is trying to ban us from all single-sex spaces, this is a fact.

Please listen to the American Indigenous people you are talking about here, they're trying to correct you.

yes he was, and he immediately followed it up by committing a lot of crimes and otherwise attempting to destroy our entire system of government and replace it with autocracy

Realising I'm agnostic after so much of my life dedicated to God has been having an utterly bizarre effect on my brain. Like, I keep questioning if it's even okay to be thinking this because I don't want to turn my back on Jesus. I just think that the ground my faith rested on has slowly collapsed.
