The @orsierraclub.bsky.social executive committee unanimously voted no confidence in @benjealous.bsky.social, joining our union in calls for accountability and new leadership amidst ongoing layoffs & tumult at the organization. The @sierraclub.org Board must act now www.eenews.net/articles/sie...

Thank you all SO MUCH for your support. Our incredible Bargaining Committee worked into the night for us and reached a Tentative Agreement at around 5am! 🙏💪🥳🎉 As of now there will be NO STRIKE! Please continue enjoying all our work, knowing you all helped us get here! #unionstrong #voxunion #1u

Today Sierra launched part 1 of a yearlong series covering 3 neighbors on different post-Eaton-Fire journeys. We hope this longitudinal coverage combats the loss of public attention that follows the end of breaking news—the story is really just starting for survivors. Words by @colleenhagerty.com.

Also I did not mean to preclude anyone else from saying hey. :)

I’m at SEJ this year! If you’re a freelancer working on environmental health/science/justice stories, come say hey.

The toll humanity pays for the oil and gas industry is even bleaker than you might think. In the shadows: an unprotected workforce cleans up radioactive waste, while American consumers buy up pool salts derived from this harm. Read Justin Nobel's investigation for Sierra (psst it's free!).

My household is currently watching 3 shows, each on different streaming apps, that are airing weekly. The world is healing.

Pitch call: Sierra mag is doing its first-ever kid’s issue!! We’re looking for everything from gee-whiz animal stories to games we can print to features that tackle tougher subjects like climate change—just all written for readers 8 and up. Deadline to pitch is Friday, email in bio.

Bring back librarian hotlines, I’m begging you! I want to talk to a fellow nerd when I’m searching for info, not interact with a dumb computer.

Boston area folks! On January 14 I’ll be at Harvard Book Store in conversation with @kpaoletta.bsky.social about his new book, American Oasis. If you care about Indigenous sovereignty, climate migration, and urban infrastructure, this free event is for you! www.harvard.com/event/kyle-p...

For @sierramagazine.bsky.social, I took a deep look at how Acadia National Park became a laboratory for the park service's efforts to adapt to climate change and incorporate Indigenous knowledge into its decision making. Here's hoping those policies survive 2025! www.sierraclub.org/sierra/2024-...

Indigenous scientists and National Park employees are working together to make sure Acadia survives a warmer future and higher sea levels. The lessons they're learning here could soon be used to make all National Parks more resilient in the face of climate change. www.sierraclub.org/sierra/2024-...

Acadia is now a living climate change land management lab—one that’s FINALLY centering Indigenous science. The experiment will inform future plans across NPS. @kpaoletta.bsky.social brought us this vivid story in Feb and I’m thrilled you all finally get to read it. www.sierraclub.org/sierra/2024-...

This story has it all and is a really useful look into the seemingly odd bedfellows that do often align on climate tech issues, for reasons the average person might not assume. Great reporting by @mollytaft.com!

Sierra Magazine is hiring again for its 6-month early career fellowship! This is a paid environmental journalism opportunity with the option to work remotely from anywhere in the US. We're going to move quickly on hiring this time, so apply asap: jobs.lever.co/sierraclub/f...

The funny thing about what's happening on Bluesky atm is that I guess I've technically been on this app for over a year, but I haven't really used it—set it and forget it vibes—and now am suddenly getting notifications about this. Still relevant! Wrap your gifts in reusable stuff you already have!

On this #IndigenousPeoplesDay and every day, I encourage readers to think deeply about our systems and necessary change. I had the honor of writing about Jennifer Grenz and her work at the Indigenous Ecology Lab at UBC Forestry for @sierramagazine.bsky.social : www.sierraclub.org/sierra/ecolo...

Low flow along the Mississippi River has allowed saltwater from the Gulf of Mexico to infiltrate the river for the third year in a row—a formerly once-in-a-decade event that threatens drinking water for tens of thousands. Here are some of the potential solutions. www.sierraclub.org/sierra/salt-...

Outdoor recreation often evokes the grand, but there are other attractions worth celebrating, not just for their beauty but for their dedication to preserving American history, especially Black history. Here are a few to check out this month. www.sierraclub.org/sierra/black...

A note on A Book of Noises by @juliasklar.bsky.social for Sierra Magazine www.sierraclub.org/sierra/2023-...

New York’s governor just outlawed the killing of wildlife for prizes. Here’s a primer I wrote for @sierramagazine.bsky.social on why this law is so needed. www.sierraclub.org/sierra/thous...

Happy Chanukah y’all! Here’s a little missive on my journey away from wrapping paper—and also my first byline since joining @sierramagazine.bsky.social!

For SELF, I highlighted the trans kids who don’t make the news, whose stories might go otherwise unheard: the ones who are already out there playing on teams with their friends, winning and losing without incident. https://www.self.com/story/trans-kids-playing-sports

I don’t want a new Twitter I want to futz around in the html to give my MySpace page animated glittery text

Feeling like a kid on the first day of school, walking into the cafeteria, trying to figure out what table all my friends are sitting at.
