#poetry Song For My City (2) If you're boiling with rage and see only blood, but don't have the strength to pull out of the mud, embrace those that do. If you can't stand up against the boot and the club, in the struggle for justice and the struggle for love, ...embrace those that do!

#poetry Song For My City If you're too old and tired to hold up your fist, too sick or too weak to rise and resist, embrace those that do. If you're twisted and lost, torn up and beat, and can't find a way to get out on the street, embrace those that do...

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership. Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources. Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet. Unbelievable.

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer is my favorite song about how people will only love you if you're useful.

We all know that one of the major rules of time travel is that you have to be very careful in the past, because one small change can create an entirely different future. But rarely does anyone in the present think they can radically change the future by doing something small.

you'd think the forced displacement of 10 million people from one of the oldest centres of civilisation in human history would get a little more news attention than beltway journalists writing essays on how Olivia Nuzzi is a genius because they want to bone her and you'd be wrong

Neonicotinoids are great for agriculture but not so great for the food chain because they remain in soil and waterways for decades. Europe has enforced bans with evidence now of ecological benefits, but the US has been slow to even talk about these pesticides. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Today we and the @whaleresearch.bsky.social caught up with the T46s and T46B1s in Puget Sound near Seattle! It was a spectacular sight to see them all grouped up together, including the massive fin of T46E Thor and the little fin of 2 month-old T46B1D. #orcas #killerwhales #whalesky #salishsea

It's a beautiful day to doorknock for DeWayne Davis! Lots of people have not made their minds up about this race; talk to your neighbors about your favorite and tell them #dontrankfrey.

Oh hey, this features both Lyda Morehouse and Scott Keever, two excellent and very talented people (I happen to know). Pretty good deal, if you can get there & are comfortable going to something indoors (as ever I recommend wearing a mask).

Boris Artzybasheff, a Ukrainian illustrator who immigrated to the US in 1919, was known for florid, grotesque explorations of surrealistic anthropomorphism, combining human and machine into fearsome, laboring hulks of metal & flesh. These illustrations are from “Machinalia.” #historyofillustration
