Pick up a copy of When the Earth Was Green and ask for it from your favorite library, the book Publishers Weekly called "another triumph from Black." 🌱

The fossil fuel industry is behind most of the climate disinformation you see and hear today. Charlie Kirk was no exception.

Audre told us.

Early spring, while Dad was in his final stages of cancer, I went back to my block bird art & gave my mind the task to reduce the birds more, using circles this time. I ended up doing 36 warblers, making these WORBS as a result. Realized I never shared them here, so short thread. IDs in alt. 1/3

New book by @maryroach.bsky.social, my favorite science writer of all time- and also, based on time times we’ve emailed, just the kindest person. I can’t wait.

Monsoon Morning 🌵⛅️

I'm in Chicago for a bird festival, and last night the wonderful folks at Great Lakes Pigeon Rescue threw a pigeon party and handed me pigeon after pigeon to cuddle. If you want to adopt a pigeon, reach out to them. They ship birds safely across the country! greatlakespigeonrescue.org

An older comic about pigeon nests.

An awful photo, but @rosemarymosco.com never told us about vöidcheëps! American Crow going through a tough molt in my yard #birds 🪶

Here’s the bottom line: If someone’s preferred “climate actions” are rejecting climate solutions and attacking climate scientists, then … … how are they any different than the people who do this? I’m not sure they are.

Hello Chicago! Thank you for rolling out such lovely weather

I’m on a train, heading to Chicago for an urban bird festival, where I’m keynoting and running a workshop. This festival looks amazing and it’s a beautiful example of the kind of diverse, cool stuff that happens in American cities every day www.theurbanbirdingfestival.org

A nemesis bird is a bird you've always wanted to see but you keep missing despite your best efforts. Last week I FINALLY got my nemesis Spruce Grouse.Then I saw @thebirdist.bsky.social got his nemesis, Connecticut Warbler, so I thought I'd post this old comic about nemesis birds. Do you have one?

I'm giving a talk in Plymouth MA tomorrow morning: www.manomet.org/event/author...

Still thinking about the demolition derby I went to last week in rural Quebec where someone brought a refurbished Bell Canada truck and added to the logo so it basically said “deep sh*t”

I'm working on slides for an upcoming keynote and I can't wait to give this one

As an artist, my AI experience has been: my reference image searches are flooded with fake bird photos, people are feeding my art into AI and posting it as their own, people are posting incorrect info they got from real-sounding AI-built “science” websites, and climate change is continuing apace

Kickstarter! Be better! I’ve stuck with Kickstarter through a lot of shit because the fine folks at Kickstarter United had my back - now we all have to have theirs. Sign this petition for a minimum livable wage and a codified 4 day work week for our colleagues at Kickstarter United.

We’re deeply disappointed negotiations for a global plastics treaty have ended without a final agreement. Over the past 3 years, the momentum has been undeniable. The world now understands, plastic is a full lifecycle problem that demands systemic solutions, & that its health impacts are profound.
