Happy World Snake Day for those who celebrate 🥳 Rat snake on an extra warm, late Autumn day - on an Aralia spinosa branch (Devil's walking stick) in 2020. #Herps 🌿

It's a "mask between the car and the building" day for sure

A few more that didn't make it into this post 🌱 #nativeplants #wildflowerhour

I did not think about the in person appearance thing and made my nails weird and overly intense earlier. Oh well 💅

On the same day an air sensor reached an AQI of 1000 in northern Michigan, Whitmer's EGLE issued permits to continue to prop up oil infrastructure. We are sacrificing clean water and clean air for the almighty fossil fuel $$$.

I wrote this about the energy code but importantly, it could also be about Maryland's energy efficiency programs (Empower). www.wbaltv.com/article/mary... Just ... own goals. Own goals everywhere

Fun fact I wrote a LONG Twitter thread back in the day on a related maneuver executed at the national model code level. Tl;dr people sure do love using layers of technical arcana to hide the way they make more wasteful buildings legal to build in this extra super anthropocene decade we're in.

Specifically I am going to the one and only public hearing for the proposed Maryland energy code. The proposal removes on-site renewable and load mgmt requirements for commercial buildings and would ultimately result in higher net energy use and peak demand. Wild right?? #energysky #climatesky

I need to go somewhere IRL tomorrow. Very glad I got my car AC fixed 🤧🫠

This is the situation we need to prepare our homes for. Yes, your home too.

These images of First Nations community members evacuating Collins, Ontario on motorboats are absolutely surreal www.facebook.com/reel/1548244...

Kid1, who is both an conductor and engineer for CN and has driven trains through SK wildfires himself, just sent me this video from Ontario. When I tell you they arent paid enough!!! vt.tiktok.com/ZSXkuEadE/

been doing some interviews for a project and it’s absolutely clear that the general “affordability” fixation - as messaged by various democratic political advisors - was a disaster for climate action.

This is quite the read for the wonks among us. #energysky #climatesky #electrifyeverything

Hey friends when I say "Future of Gas" does that mean anything to you?

What if we made it our business to retrofit our homes so they were safe from the heat and polluted air, and didn't make either worse? I kinda think we should

Contaminated Produce. COVID. Ticks. Lead. Microplastics. I’m so tired.

Thinking about this and the Endangered Species Act stuff. This admin is allied with people who don't care about life on Earth. For them it is temporary, something to exploit so they can rule the next world. No one should degrade our living world to build an imaginary digital one.

me, six months ago: the ending will be SAVING THE WORLD, it will be BOMBASTIC me, right now: what if everyone cries and says sorry and that they'll try to to better and then they DO

Hey brand new follows, are you bots? Be so for real right now

Truth! Get into the room. Go to the board meeting. Chat to people. Keep doing it.

I realized this week that instead of growing Eupatorium perfoliatum from seed this winter, I probably grew a stunning number of E. perfoliatum X serotinum hybrids. None of the babies are actually perfoliate like the plants I took the seeds from. Whoops? 🌱 #nativeplants

I'm so close you guys. So close to mini-splits in every bedroom plus the kitchen

Anyone built themselves a garden bench? Pro tips? 🌱🪵🪑

Anyone on #SSDI have any pointers on filing for the first time? Or good resources to share for info? I know I need to go through my medical records and make sure some things are documented well. I'm concerned because I literally can't get to the specialists so there's not a huge paper trail. Not

Grateful to the @pressherald.com for making their live coverage of the ICE killing in Maine public today. And grateful to the protesters up in Maine.

I spoke with a Maine organizer this morning and the primary ask for now is to support raising money for this solidarity fund. The fund has supported a number of community needs since the ICE invasion earlier this year but needs more support in the wake of this murder today.

we do not neede no Gen A.I. tooles we do not neede no thoughte control

It's a real good "hang around outside for 10 minutes and look at all your pollinators" day here in central MD. Swallowtails, skippers, hummingbirds, bumblebees, weird Pycnanthemum visitors, feral honeybees - we got em all. 🌱 #nativeplants

reminder: do not threaten me with a good time
