As a fan of both geology and Oakland I’m a little sad I don’t have this book already

There’s just so, so many things to be mad at the US government for, but here is another one that effected people (including my family) all over the Pacific Northwest, and that they tried really hard to cover up forever, so here ya go

@inaturalist.bsky.social is the app I use, although I liked the classic version a lot better than the new updated one. Still the best probably because there is plenty of community input not just AI

Screenshot of a poem that reads:

Poeisis (Triassic Aubade)
(After Charles Darwin)

certainly the forests grew again
and that morning we looked out
from our burrows, from all our crooks

and craws and cranny-made holloways
and hideaways, climbed from the collapse
and the choking end of everything we knew

and when had anything smelled so generous,
so vast as outliving all those gutted arcs of ribs
the end had come for them, for them, and left us

all those jaws splayed now in gardens
kingly estates where once we had to hide
from prayerful fangs and Pinkerton claws

and now that our flesh was our own
we tasted the miracle of creating ourselves
shaped our endless forms most beautiful

wrapped ourselves in feathers and fucked
and spread flagrant new avenues of self
and for a little while, at least, we were free

The Wildcraft Drones by T. K. Rex ⋆ Stelliform Press Read about short story collection THE WILDCRAFT DRONES by T. K. Rex, linked stories about the evolution of sentient drones and a transformed humanity.

Amazing, thanks! This story is also in my collection that comes out in May so I’m actively planning readings and stuff all year if they want a guest lecture or something

Word. My mom grew up downwind of that site and her whole family had health issues, including extended Native family. Most people have never even heard of the crap that happened there

Glad to hear it. I used to live on the Navajo Nation and the greenwashing around nuclear gets me riled up. They are both awful

Nuclear power is not ok. Uranium mining is not ok, nuclear waste is not ok. The only argument in favor is that it is β€œmore efficient” than other things that are also not ok. Hey, you know what? We actually don’t need ANY of those things, because infinite industrial growth is going to kill us all

Carbon?? Who mines that uranium? Are you aware of the history here? Of where uranium comes from and who is exploited and which watersheds are impacted? And the long term impacts to those communities? The Navajo Nation for one, where they have tried to stop uranium mining for generations now. Hard no

THEY ARE BUYING UP WAREHOUSES TO HOLD HUMAN BEINGS IN DETENTION INDEFINITELY.

I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.
