A great piece, on a film the religious studies nerd in me is so excited to see. (Now to convince my husband that a film about religious ecstasy and celibacy is going to make the best date night ever.)

A great piece on local solutions to a global challenge. Climate resilience starts with distributed, local resilience. www.climatesolutions.org/article/2026...

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Roses are red 🌹 We need to scale solar 😎

To build a mosaic is to recreate the future, Terry Tempest Williams tells us, based on what we have learned from the past. To gather up the brittle shards left by the blunt force of trauma, and create something new. open.substack.com/pub/suzannec...

Pause your doom scrolling and celebrate: Indigenous Peruvians have secured legal rights for their native honey bee: rights to healthy populations in their natural habitat, to habitat restoration, and the right to be defended when their rights are violated. This! insideclimatenews.org/news/2210202...

"It’s going to be hard to figure out how to fight wars over sunshine." @billmckibben.bsky.social gets it right again. Solar panels are the new peace symbols. open.substack.com/pub/billmcki...

On New Year’s Day, take a moment to be present with those relatives we lost, those relatives we found, and those relatives that we’re learning how to better care for. This is worth a deep mindful breath, of grief and gratitude. open.substack.com/pub/mongabay...

Appreciating this take by @billmckibben.bsky.social in The Guardian today. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Climate change is a global problem. But the solutions are local. When national leaders fail us, local leaders are stepping up. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Care about climate? Support Native self-determination. Indigenous sovereignty includes the right to protect their relatives. atmos.earth/ecological-w...

🇦🇫 Thousands of Afghan allies who stood beside U.S. forces are still waiting for the safety they were promised. 🤝 The Enduring Welcome Act (HR 4995) would protect and continue this vital resettlement work.

They shut it down, but it's back on line! The Fifth National Climate Assessment is up at nca5.climate.us That's what I'm talkin' 'bout! While the administration mothballed climate.gov, a volunteer staff is determined to make sure we still have access to the best science. Please support their work.

Trump shut down NOAA's site for climate communication, climate.gov. Now, former staffers are building back, with independent, nonpartisan climate.us. But they need funding to get their work up and running. Check it out. No donation is too small. donorbox.org/climate-us-p...

I am so in love with this song. "Water is a living being. We've forgotten we are water." www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCUv...

Can't afford a new EV? No problem. Convert your internal combustion engine to a plugin hybrid for $6,000. Besides, it's simply not sustainable to trash all the existing cars on the road--this conversion model is genius. www.geekwire.com/2025/forget-...

This is such a loss. I've served on the selection committee for this program for the past three years, because it has funded so many incredible people doing such important research over the years. It should be expanding to meet the new challenges of climate change, but instead is totally defunded.

Live in a state with a Republican senator? Reach out NOW and urge them to defend 25D Residential Solar Tax Credit! 100,000 US jobs are at stake, many of them in red-states. Losing 25D means huge losses in US jobs and manufacturing, and greater reliance on foreign oil. #solarpower #climatechange

Aw, cmon! Guinness!? Time to get your act together. www.independent.ie/irish-news/g...

Indigenous people--and women and girls in particular--are missing and murdered at higher rates than any other demographic in this country. Interior Secretary @debhaalandnm.bsky.social led efforts to address this crisis. Now those efforts are being undermined. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Live in a Republican district? Reach out today to your members of congress to advocate for the IRA and protect clean energy tax credits.

89% of us support climate action. But we mistakenly think we're in the minority. It's time to rally for the future we want. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Thank you, @jamestalarico.bsky.social. We need voices that amplify the radical, inclusive compassion of the Gospels.

I'm not Catholic, but it's undeniable how important Pope Francis was for environmental justice. By wedding care for the poor with care for the Earth, he reminded us all that true justice demands being a voice for the voiceless, and protecting the powerless. news.mongabay.com/2025/04/pope...

Finally, we're taking action against these blasted penguins and their economic overreach. www.bbc.com/news/article...

"Breathing mindfully, you simply Enjoy your in-breath and out-breath. You bring the mind home to the body, and you realize That you are alive, still alive, and this is a wonder. To be alive is the greatest of all miracles." -Thich Nhat Hanh

Costa Rica has massively rewilded over recent decades. Has this led to the collapse of farming, rural society, or national wellbeing? Totally the opposite, and we in Ireland have SO much to learn from their example. My piece for the @irishexaminer.bsky.social www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/ou...

Psychological distress associated with climate change is real, and it can have damaging effects. But when we turn toward it (instead of running from it) it can also inspire action and greater community engagement. climatecommunication.yale.edu/publications...

Billy Frank Jr. spent his life working to defend Tribal treaty rights and support salmon recovery efforts. I'm grateful for the time I spent with him working to make WA state a better place—and know his legacy will live on today and always.

Spending time in nature reduces stress, improves mental health, boosts the immune system, and enhances overall well-being. That’s the scientific version. On nights like this though, I just say that it restores my soul ☀️

Giving voice to the voiceless <3

There are some self-proclaimed Christians pushing voucher scams. Vouchers take money from public schools and give it to wealthy parents who already send their kids to private school. I can’t think of anything more un-Christian than stealing from the poor to give to the rich.
