β€œThe thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

I hereby create a community of people who love, respect, and admire boglands. They are mysterious, beautiful, and powerful to ecology, archaeology and climate. Yet these systems continue to be misunderstood and threatened. Who wants to join my bog fan club? Please share - bogs need friends right now

I'm obviously worried about the evil things Trump and Elon have said they will do, but the crash reminds me to be worried of what I think of "death by jank." these people are far from being as smart as they think they are and their incompetence is going to kill people

This is a good sign: 70% of Nature poll respondents use platform, roughly 6,000 readers answered our poll, with many declaring that Bluesky was nicer, kinder and less antagonistic to science than X.

I don’t want to hear one word about the Target boycott from ppl
who stopped masking. Y’all talking about folks won’t suffer the smallest inconvenience for the collective but you can’t put a mask on your face because it might make you unpopular lol

Spread Information not panic
When reporting or signal boosting potential threats: provide as much information as possible!
S.A.L.U.T.E.
Size/Strength
"5 to 6 Armed Agitators"
Actions/Activity
"Harassing random people on the move"
Location & Direction
"Manhattan, East of Central Park, E 97th St"
Uniform/Clothes
"Dark Jackets, ballcaps"
Time & Date of Observation
"8:32 PM June01"
Equipment & Weapons
"They have Body Armor and Pepper spray"
Not a useful tweet: "proudboys spotted"
"Where? When? What are they doing?
How Many? What are they carrying?"
Use your Judgement!

The threat of ICE has tons of people on high alert, the result is claims of ICE seen without firm or specific info people can actually use β€” & sometimes, no ICE at all.

It’s never β€œICE spotted in Queens,” but β€œ4 SUVs labeled DHS seen parked on 57th & 59th in Maspeth at 2:34pm.”

Be specific!

Before environmental regulations we had polluted rivers catching on fire and cities turning on streetlights in the afternoon because the smog was so thick

Allow yourself to find some joy today and in the days ahead.

Turn off your devices. Find beauty in small things in unexpected places. Go outside. Feel the sun on your skin. Feel the cold on it too.

Breathe.

One solid way you can fight back today & everyday is to look out for your neighbor, & not just in theory. If you’re in LA, someone in your building probably needs a mask. Someone living outside probably needs a meal. That person being stopped by the cops needs someone to record what’s happening.

Not sure the variety! Previous land owner planted them. Nice first crop last fall, none this year - hoping it’s biennial!! 🀞🏼

I've heard rumors that Palestinians in Gaza are getting their accounts taken down (cool and normal reasons I'm sure) so I'm threading a partial list of GoFundMes that I've personally supported, in the hopes that you will do the same!
