I love pattrice jones's (co-founder of @vinesanctuary.bsky.social) wonderful entry for the letters E J A N S P W remembering Jane Goodall (see comments for link) Jane sees apes. Jane appeases apes. Apes jape Jane. Jane senses ape sense. Jane spews ape news. We see apes anew. Jane passes. We weep.

One of our cofounders was among the winners of the @nytgames.bsky.social Spelling Bee creative challenge with this poem about Jane Goodall!

It occurs to me, and I'm sure I'm not the only one, that what is happening with the ultra rich oppressing and exploiting everyone else is a mirror of what humans have done to the earth.

I’m impressed with the Food Empowerment Project’s webpage called Insects and Worms. As an ethical vegan organization, Food Empowerment Project naturally advises against eating all animals, including insects and worms. Please read more about Insects and Worms here: foodispower.org/animals-on-l...

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

A whale caught in crab nets is fighting for her life on the Oregon Coast near Yachats, with so many people rushing there before official help arrives at dawn. The whale is vocalizing distress, asking for help. It's devastating. We have to find a way to stop entanglements. Unconscionable.

On this day in 1830, North Carolina passed laws that criminalized teaching enslaved Black people to read and that made the repeated dissemination of anti-slavery pamphlets punishable by death.

Waking up to the news of Alice Wong's death, and very sad. She was, and remains, a force. Interview from early 2025: "To be a disabled oracle is someone who tells their truths in a hostile ableist world that does not believe you." #AliceWong #disability #disabilitycommunity #longCOVID

Such a profound loss for the disability rights movement and for the world. We grieve, and we send sympathy to all who knew her personally. If you did not know the work of Alice Wong, let today be the day you pick up one of her books.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.
