spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

📣 We just released a new free resource at @climatecentral.org - a 72-slide deck introducing key facts about climate change, including its causes, impacts, and solutions. It also comes with speaker notes and links for local storytelling. ➡️ www.climatecentral.org/climate-matt... (English & Spanish)

This holiday season, give Jeff Bezos and Amazon the gift of zero dollars. 🥰

Omelas already exists: no need to build it or choose it. We already live here –in the narrow, foul, dark prison we let our ignorance, fear, and hatred build for us and keep us in, here in the splendid, beautiful city of life...

Vantis wants to become the world’s first necromancer and finally step out of his brother’s shadow. Unfortunately, there are a few things getting in his way: 💸 the sudden loss of his research funding 🧙🏾 his ecoterrorist brother ⚔️ an impending war 🌊 environmental disasters #questpit #querying #f

I sincerely hope Democrats pay attention to tonight’s results across the country. They won’t learn anything but still. Maybe. People are excited by change and original campaigns and bold ideas and candidates under the age of 50!

There are more of us than there are of them.

"Women are not usually into science fiction"is legitimately one of the stupidest, most divorced from reality sentences I have ever read in my life

Big news out of Indiana today as Republican legislators surprise everyone by saying no to Donald Trump. Each crack in Trump’s facade of inevitability will lead to more. Let’s keep it up!

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

One of the most challenging aspects of the climate crisis is that it becomes harder to solve as it proceeds, both in terms of mitigation and adaptation. It isn't something that can be put off until tomorrow without serious penalty.

"you are taking in the human centipede of content from the very end of the line" is such a good way of describing AI

Jane Goodall offers sage advice for the rest of us. #3E

my takeaway from climate week nyc is that "climate storytelling" is a little too much "we must reimagine our deepest souls in relationship to mother nature and the moral abyss of the polycrisis into which we must now stare" and not enough "ok but get a heat pump"

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by the process of law. they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by violence. the only lever by which they can obtain obedience is fear. do not offer it to them.

For teachers, environmental educators, and D&D dorks! In December, I published The Last Hunt for the Jabberwock, a D&D 5e adventure in environmental science and ecologic succession. www.dmsguild.com/product/5056...

To be whole is to be part; true voyage is return.

So the Department of Defense is being rebranded to the Department of War..? What other rebrands are coming? The Department of Fossil Fuels? The Department of Disease? The Environmental Destruction Agency?

I decided to watch Medici and Dustin Hoffman is throwing me. He’s surrounded by British and Italian actors and he’s just being Dustin Hoffman. It’s so funny. Honestly this show slaps I love a period drama about cathedrals, banks, and the Black Death. Bonus points for graying Richard Madden

Good morning! A reminder that GBBO is back AND old seasons of The Great British Sewing Bee are free to watch on Roku. Have a cozy weekend 💗

*NEW* Revolution Wind is taking Trump to court over the controversial stop-work order. Watch this space for more.

The Roadless Rule does a huge amount to protect wild areas against wildfires, the vast majority of which begin near roads. It's super easy to leave a comment urging them to keep the Roadless Rule and protect against fires. Comments like this make a big impact! www.regulations.gov/commenton/FS...

62 years ago, Dr. King led the March on Washington with giants like John Lewis, Mahalia Jackson, A. Philip Randolph, and so many others. If you’ve ever wondered what you’d be doing during the Civil Rights Movement, this is your test. (1/2)

Theres really no point to scrolling your phone waiting to hear about the day it happens, if you are a Real American and live in a decent sized city you'll know from horns honking, fireworks, people spontaneously hollering, passing out drinks, etc

Doomers: The 2026 election doesn't matter, Republicans are just going to rig the whole thing anyway Various red state republican incumbents: I'm just going to quit now because if I run in 2026 I'm going to get absolutely killed

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

Light is the left hand of darkness and darkness the right hand of light. Two are one, life and death, lying together like lovers in kemmer, like hands joined together, like the end and the way.

Two things can be true: 1) this administration is causing & will cause incalculable damage & death to vulnerable people, and eventually to everyone except maybe the oligarchs. It is a horror show beyond many of our wildest previous imaginings 2) they are bungling fools and they have already failed

If Democratic politicians do not fight this because it's a "distraction," it will simply happen. They need to get in front of every mic and say that we will not allow Trump to destroy American history. He wants a culture war? GIVE HIM ONE. There are no distractions. Have every fight.

As always, the proof that AI will have no lasting impact on the arts is that it has produced nothing of value. It has been used in the creation of nothing of value. It has nothing to offer the pursuit of beauty and understanding.

It takes a village. And coffee, it takes lots of coffee. And tums. The chewy ones. And comfortable shoes. And a book just in case. And a coven of powerful witches who owe you a blood debt. That helps. And tacos, it also takes tacos.

mRNA vaccines are one of the most important tools we have for preventing future catastrophic pandemics because we can update them more quickly than any other vaccine technology in response to new emerging viruses & variants. RFK Jr cancelling millions in mRNA research makes the world far less safe.

Last week I read Klara and the Sun, which is…this exact concept. It’s a beautiful book about love, grief, and the nature of humanity. I did not expect to see it come true so soon, and maybe that’s on me.

A child free from the guilt of ownership and the burden of economic competition will grow up with the will to do what needs doing and the capacity for joy in doing it.

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

You can’t crush ideas by suppressing them. You can only crush them by ignoring them. By refusing to think, refusing to change.

Does it feel like flash floods are always in the headlines lately? Is the air extra humid...even for summer? Nights not cooling off like they used to? These extremes have something in common: Climate change is loading the atmosphere with more moisture. youtube.com/shorts/6_G3e...

Climate change is driving RECORD overnight warmth across much of the Eastern U.S. this week. More than 97 million people will sweat through unusually warm mid-July nights, made at least 3x more likely by climate change. 🧵/1

Regardless of where we live or how we vote, extreme weather puts us all at risk: and we know, without a shadow of a doubt, climate change is making it worse. To build resilience, we need more data, more expertise, more preparation, more communication to keep people safe—NOT LESS! More from me:

I’ve been having a really bad time lately so thank god for kitties who love to snuggle 🥺

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

The flash flood in Texas are a grim reminder that the Climate Crisis does not care where you live or who you voted for. Climate Change will affect everyone, everywhere. Together is the only way we get out of this.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.
