Electric car drivers, what car do you have? What do you like/dislike about it? Also, how do you recommend someone check to see if there home wiring is compatible with charging an electric car? Worried my current car will give up the ghost soon enough, considering leasing one to try one out.

I think Toad the Wet Sprocket still makes some pretty good music but at a notoriety level they prefer. To my understanding, they never desired or felt they deserved the popularity they had during that era. Their lead singer also does some goo chill solo stuff.

Who is today’s Rage Against the Machine? We need some anthems for this era.

You know you’re in your mid-40’s when you cough and pull a glute muscle.

Lots of vital research for the common good needs a place to be preserved and hopefully fully resurrected at a later date. This is just one place you can access the hard work of researchers, academics, and other civic minded folks trying to keep our important stories afloat.

I recommend you peruse this site for topics you're compelled and convicted by, bookmark the site for safekeeping, and share it withth others. Always take note of who is telling stories, to what ends, and from what perspective or positions.

That said, as many know, a number of significant data banks in health, environmental concerns, history, and other important sectors are being muted, altered, or removed. However, there are concerted efforts to preserve vital research, such as The Data Rescue Project.

Hamilton, the wildly popular and fantastic musical, ends with the line "Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?" Those who study history, health, rhetoric, media, or critical issues know that a story's telling is complicated by who has or doesn't have power to tell it.

This will be a long four years. But we’ve got each other. Breathe. Relax your neck. Pray. Text your people a funny meme or tell them you love them. Get back to good work. Grace, peace, and love fam.

Friends of likemind. Go outside. Breathe in fresh air. Say a prayer of lament. Hum a song of praise. Don’t let the anger you feel at the rampant lies and injustice make you sick, but do harness it to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly.

Oh my word, is this fire happening at the moment?!

Hi all, I haven’t tweeted (what do we call it here?) much yet, but I am a Communication PhD candidate focusing on environmental comm and rhetorics of place. ‘Place’ and who gets to say what a place is, is for, and what it is called will be important the next few years (Gulf of ?). Nice to meet you.

Just finished the last season of The Expanse and Wow that show was good. Need another season or two, can that possibly happen?!

No, the world has not breached the 1.5C global warming target.

It’s a climate target - which means it’s an average that must be sustained over at least a decade.

We currently sit at 1.2 C. Which is already very bad.

The science is clear: every bit of warming matters, every action matters.

At what point do we start referring to things like the California fires and East TN floods un-natural disasters because they’re cause by human activities the disrupt the natural cycles of things?

Great idea.

Do the New Balance Fuel Cells running shoes not believe in Black Friday? Are they agnostic? Me personally, I’m a Black Friday deal believer and my bank account would like to invite the Fuel Cell into a personal relationship with the Black Friday discount.

Holiday pro trip from my mother’s house: if you forget to buy a strong cheese for your charcuterie board at the family gathering you can quickly find some by turning on the Hallmark channel. Happy holidays everyone.

Me as a Garnin watch owning character in A Quiet Place movie: [runs 13.1 silent miles home barefoot masterfully avoiding the aliens’ ire.]

My Garmin immediately after I complete my half marathon journey home: Beeps loudly “MOVE!!!”

Aliens unleash ire. The End.

@renewableenergy.bsky.social hi Jonathan, have followed your work in Threads and always appreciate your thoughts. Considering a 2023 Chevrolet Hertz used cars is selling. Wondered if you have thoughts on those cars. Mostly used for work commute and around town. Occasional trip out of town.

The episode of The Bear where Richie figures his life out and gets the power of hospitality at the swanky restaurant cousin sends him to is one of my favorite TV things of all the TV things.

Wow, lots of new folks so Hi y’all! I’m Rusty, PhD candidate in Comm and Media, focusing on environmental comm. I believe ‘words make worlds,’ they have a constructive and destructive force. I want to help people find better ways of talking about human relationships to nature. Nice to meet you!

Footnotes > Endnotes. I’ll die on this academic hill. No academic needs to lose time off their short life flipping or scrolling these pages trying to find that citation when they could just drop their eyes to the bottom of the page. These endnotes are gonna end me. Sigh.😌 🪦 🤓

This sounds amazing! I’m a comm PhD candidate at U of Memphis writing about Wendell Berry for my dissertation. Love to see ops like this are in motion! Would love to hear more as it develops.

There is a small but growing field of folks in environmental communication and/or environmental rhetoric. We are a small but hearty group.
