Climate change is literally canceling US independence Day celebrations. The July 4 parade in Philadelphia, the birthplace of American independence, has been canceled due to extreme heat. Heat waves aren’t new - what’s new is that climate change is making them hotter and more dangerous.

The American Library Association is auctioning off a bunch of the classic celebrity “READ” posters along with a bunch of other full sized literacy posters. This is going to fix so many of my problems, I just know it. movieposters.ha.com/c/search/res...

I’m a scientist who studies how climate change impacts our lives and the places we love. Most of us are worried, but many feel stuck on what to do. If that's the way you feel, check out this list below! We can’t fix it alone, but I know we can together. 💚

Had a fantastic discussion on Anitha Gade's channel with @philipchase90.bsky.social and @shewasonlyevie.bsky.social about The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez www.youtube.com/live/8KW7COt...

The return of wolves to the West Coast is an inspiring conservation success story – one made possible because legal protections have allowed them to disperse into new territories. At the end of 2025, there were 88 known wolf packs across the three-state region. Check out their growth through 2024.⬇️

there were so many good answers that i compiled them into a list for reference

Michigan is now the 11th state to sue Big Oil for its climate lies. 👏 👏 In a groundbreaking antitrust suit, Michigan says the "cartel" of ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell, BP, and the American Petroleum Institute conspired to block clean energy, protect fossil fuels, and drive up costs for consumers.

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

Same problem in publishing and film. Everyone gets paid long before the writer, and then it's pennies on the dollar, if we're lucky. People can't create like this. We shouldn't have to create like this. There's no product without us, yet we get told it's more important to pay everyone else.

I think its genuinely a virtue to accept that you could be wrong about anything and kill the part of yourself that needs to always be seen as correct and smarter than others on any given topic

Failure to return the shopping cart to one of the cart returns if you are able is a sign of someone who does not value the social contract.

Anyone else occasionally just keyboard smash to make sure spellcheck is working?

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS. Please read and share this thread.

Reposting this, maybe it will reach other artists out there ❤️

It’s Mary Anning’s birthday, so time to share @katebeaton.bsky.social’s brilliant cartoon again.

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

HAPPY TAX DAY! How much would you spend on a year of tornado warnings? The average US taxpayer spends only $4 a year to help fund the NWS. It’s a smart investment—every $1 invested in NWS yields approx. $73 in social benefits. 🌪️❄️ Support science. Support the NWS. Stay tuned for more this #TaxDay

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

I'm on the list. Make sure you know if you are, so that you can do what you need to in order to have your vote counted.

The dismantling of IMLS will have major impacts on the library services provided to students in schools and patrons who access their public libraries If you value your library, you must speak out & contact congress #ForOurLibraries
