Newspaper coverage of climate change around the globe dropped 6% from May to June 2025 -- and by 28% compared to June 2024, despite increasing frequency and severity of climate-fueled extreme weather events. Read more from the @media-climate.bsky.social here: mecco.colorado.edu/summaries/is...

The thing about human rights is that they belong to every single human being unconditionally

I have written my first Substack post under duress. 🕷️ On screenwriting, sorcery, and spiders.

I knew someone - probably plenty of someones - would have this take. A zillion crime shows portray the impact on a victim's family. Part of the point of Adolescence is showing the impact on the killer's family. Stunning that this goes over people's heads. Anyway, episode 4 absolutely gutted me.

Hey, storytellers! Some of us must dismantle, as others must envision and build. If you're the latter, check out @susankayequinn.bsky.social's work. Her Substack is chock full of galvanizing info to help us SEE our way to a better future. brightgreenfutures.substack.com

@bsky.app Since the Govt has now said it's using social media to identify folks with dissenting views, will you change your functionality to allow people to delete past comments? Otherwise their safety is at risk.

apropos of absolutely nothing today, this article by Lucy Jones on the nonbinary nature of slime is an excellent and beautiful read emergencemagazine.org/essay/creatu...

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

I just love this figure from @jksteinberger.bsky.social in their paper on "Discourses of Climate Delay". You can find all the arguments of your colleagues and influencers taking the world in the wrong direction. Perhaps we need another paper rebutting each? www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

"Banned Words" What country am I in?

Kendrick’s American flag motif at THIS MOMENT is subversive. Yes, yes, yes.

On the occasion of tonight's halftime show, I remember something I said a week ago:

just over here photoshopping muppets onto the cover of elle magazine: thread

Remember back when we needed everyone to have a gun to stop a government takeover by the baddies how’d that work out?

Big event happening tomorrow evening about the power of climate fiction! Date: Tuesday, February 4th Time: 7:00 - 8:30 PM EST (with support from Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and Earth Rising Foundation) www.eventbrite.com/e/imagine-22... #Solarpunk #Fiction #ClimateAction #Climate

Book recs for these times... 🔥

the tariff trade war stuff is pretty complicated but one way you can think about it is that in this scenario the United States is basically Drake and Canada is Kendrick Lamar

God, Bob used to scare the hell out of me. Always loved the story about how the actor got the role.

The Era of You Aren't Really Seeing What You're Seeing. (It's called gaslighting!)

This dialogue is GOLD. 👏

Word is out — these are the nominees for Original Screenplay. #Oscars

One day after the White House environmental justice website went dark, please join me in welcoming the father of environmental justice to Bluesky. Yes, sociologist @drrobertbullard.bsky.social literally defined the concept in his 1990 book, Dumping in Dixie: Race, Class and Environmental Quality.

"Fix your hearts or die" IS absolultely fire but also huge shoutout to David Lynch for writing a trans character into the OG run of Twin Peaks in fucking 1990 who was cool, and confident, and who was treated with the utmost respect and dignity by her former colleague the instant he meets her

A girl I knew in college saw David Lynch speak at an event. When it ended, she found a way to get to the front to tell him how much his films and shows meant to her. His response was “Thank you. And remember, the universe is in your basement.”

David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.

Climate journalists: want to take a survey (co-sponsored by @climatena.bsky.social) about the kind of mental health support that journalists covering climate topics could use? You do need to be older than 18 & living in the US utulsapsychology.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Done! Tory's work is more important than ever. We need these stories. 👏

Trigger warning for anyone who's experienced SA. I am literally nauseated and I'm not a survivor. Something extra dark about a beloved, self-proclaimed feminist creator being such a predator.

INSULIN NEEDED - if anyone can spare insulin, especially the more shelf-stable pens, please bring them to: Bernie's Coffee Shop 6101 Wilshire Blvd before 6pm today

2025 Out: parasocial relationship with TikTokers In: parasocial relationships with water-dropping helicopters

@leighmedeiros.bsky.social, climate screenwriter and creativity coach, has posted tons of great resources for processing the enormity of the wildfires and lending support, including this interview I did with her on the How to Be a Better Person podcast

Anyone have a debut book coming out this spring? Tell me about it — it’d be nice to hear about something nice! Your first book only happens once, friend!

Hello #ScreenwritingCommunity, Humanitas @humanitasprize.bsky.social is keeping a list of fundraisers for screenwriters who have lost their homes in the LA fires. Please share and donate if you can. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Tragedy activates community. Those in Los Angeles have support from within and from the outside. If you are not in Los Angeles, and you’re tapped into the weight of what’s happening, you’ll need support too... 🧵

#WGA members in Los Angeles: @humanitasprize.bsky.social is boosting GoFundMes for screenwriters who have lost their homes in the current fires. Please DM them a link! #LAFires

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

These teenagers and young men — 95% of whom are Black, Latinx, or Filipino — earn between $2.20 and $4 per hour, plus an additional $1 an hour when they’re actively fighting fires, according to the DJJ. ⤵️

All the people. The houses. The animals. The plants. The water. All of that swept up into raging tornadoes of fire in the middle of January. This is not normal. The climate crisis is being DONE TO US not happening to us. Fight back however you can - your voice, your money, your creativity, etc.

Putting together a thread of MUTUAL AID resources for anyone affected by the LA fires…drop em in the comments, pinning this post👇👇

Harrowing. The Kate Atkinson stuff is eye-opening. A must read for all men. Are we truly listening? And then what? Actions, not just words. ‘Not all men’ is too complacent, especially in an age of Tate et al.
